When they were growing in it would have. Even laying down felt like getting knives in the nipples. It’s fine for me now, though.

Rod Serling? Answering before I read comments.

I’ve only ever used walls, honestly, just a palisade a decent distance off from anything I like, with places to arch from.

Do you include walls in “moats”?

You don’t need to post comments on youtube. You’re asking for people to do you a favor. They’re asking for more information before they do the favor. If you don’t want to fulfill the requirements, fine, but quit trying to act self-righteous because you’re willing to spend far more time trying to claim you don’t need to answer the question than it would take to answer the question, and going to that much effort to obfuscate rather than elucidate, suggests that whatever it is you are hiding would be seen as bad.

I’ve read studies claiming it can be used to address traumatic memories as well, because of the chemical calm and how memory works, when you visit one your brain basically opens the file, runs it on your braon, and then re-stores your memory of the current run, where you were chill through the reenactment.

Do red laser safety glasses work for you? Laser glasses are really good at filtering everything but their color and red ones mean you won’t get the melatonin destroying blue light in.

Glad I could help! Enjoy your time here!

We experience a world through the senses. We have no other way to experience any world that may or may not exist. The world experienced through the senses is apparently consistent, and if we do not deal with it, we have bad sensory experiences, or cease to be experienceable to each other entirely. So, since this is the only world we can interact with, and how we do so matters to our happiness, all we can do is take this world on its own terms and deal with it.

Didn’t say it would be on lemmy.

So, people like to think that you can do something clever like invent a code to hide things, and technically, yes. And if they ever search your place and find it, they’ll assume it’s serious business and you’ll get the XKCD Security treatment.

So actually great replacement shit. I can’t wait to hear reactionaries defend this.

I can think of three in Shadowbringers alone, Amaurot, the conversation against the rock in upper Kholusia, and that one part right near the end, the one that requires channeling a large amount of environmental power.

(Trying to avoid spoilers while being unambiguous)

Oh goddess and the role quests, particularly the healer one.

Tomorrow and Tomorrow reliably makes me tear up.

FFXIV, over and over. The kind of nobility and self sacrifice displayed in that story has set me crying several times. Honestly, I can feel it a little bit just thinking of some of those moments, but I try to smile through it.

Because a smile better suits a hero.

Pelvic tilt is a pretty obvious one, part of why women have shapelier asses and also reduces height a little bit. Emotions definitely feel more accessible, although I have heard that trans guys also get some of that sometimes so that might have more to do with dissociating less, but I also get some urge to cry at stuff like… Last night I was watching a movie with my girlfriend and characters were talking about people they’d lost, and it was an effort not to cry.

You can ask me literally anything you actually want to know about without losing points with me. Just be sure you want to know. There’s a pretty good chance I’ll answer and if you didn’t want to know you might have regrets.

Oh goddess does the temperature tolerance change. Turns out the fat distribution matters a lot for that!
Also yeah there’s a line in the first altered carbon book about how for men, skin is armor, and for women, a sensory organ, and it’s a little exaggerated, but it’s pointing at a real thing.

Re personality: that’s harder to judge, because you have so much going on. It’s a major change in your life, you’re altering how you and the world interact with each other, so it would be hard to avoid your personality going through a rock to mud transition and shifting, but I think there’s definitely some shift towards social responsibility, yeah. Obviously there isn’t an exact measurement, but I think it’s pretty common.

It’s a negative right and the fetus doesn’t have relevant rights. If both your kidneys fail and I have two that are a match, do you have a right to one of mine? That’s the beginning and end of it. You don’t have the right to anyone else’s body, not even if you’ll die without it. We can discuss whether it’s morally virtuous to offer your body, whether or not you should, but nobody has the right to your body and you don’t have the right to theirs.

Yeah as a culture war target I don’t have anymore choice in being a part of the war than Ukraine does. I don’t get to opt out, and people can say, “Just don’t fight the culture war, fight the class war,” and it’s like, dude, you’re telling the majority of your potential allies to fuck off and die so you can charge a pillbox solo. It ain’t gonna go well.

Two major schools of thought:

We should help everyone, even if it means “bad people” can take some from the system.

We should not help anyone but a tiny fraction of people so that no “bad people” can benefit from the system.

Personally, I don’t really favor making the world that much worse to avoid some spoilage. We can do better than hurting a lot of people so we get the “bad” ones, who in my view are responding to material conditions, neurology, and history.

I don’t know that any particular person said it, but I agree with the notion that the first sign of civilization was a human corpse, with a femur that had been broken, and then healed. A human with a broken leg is pretty screwed on their own. Someone had to help that person get food and water long enough for it to heal. Civilization is when we help each other fulfill our needs, and that’s beautiful.

Needed a name, decided to use my MMO character, figured a screenshot of her made sense as the avatar.
