I think it’d be really cool to completely finish the game- every storyline or quest, finding every armor set, getting whatever completion ending there is (I’m positive there is one)- everything, with no prior knowledge. But man, this game is tough sometimes and there’s so much content that I wonder if it’s even possible to find everything there is to find without a YouTube tutorial here and there..
Anyone trying to attempt a zero spoiler run of TOTK?

Listen buddy. I'm an engineer. That means I solve problems. Not problems like what is beauty, because that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy. I solve practical problems. For instance, how am I gonna stop some big, mean mother hubbard from tearing me a structurally superfluous new behind? The answer; use a gun. And if that don't work, use more gun. Like this heavy calibre tripod mounted lil old number designed by me. Built by me. And you best hope... Not pointed at you.

Hi all. I’m fairly new to poly. Not new to ENM. I also lean solo poly and RA. The man I have been seeing who has been the closest thing I have to a “boyfriend” started talking to his ex again. The thing I’ve known this whole time is that I don’t know what it’s like for the person I love to love someone else they are sleeping with. Well now it’s happening. The connection him and I have had is really beyond labels. “Friends that love each other who have sex and when together also act couple-ish” would best describe it. When I first met him last summer he told me he was on a break with his girlfriend. I kept my emotions close because he is mono and so is she (at least they think they are…) and I told him I didn’t want to get too emotionally involved unless it became clear the things were over or that she was ok with me being in his life in some capacity. Then in December she ended things more officially and our connection grew deeper. But a few weeks ago she broke the no contact and wants to rekindle things. He is taking things very slow, doesn’t want to jump back in right away. I think his relationship with me opened his eyes to less codependent ways of being in relationships. Anyways, I sort of always knew that our connection would shift to friends eventually because I wanted him to meet someone and have babies and all that traditional stuff he envisioned for himself. But I’m feeling sad. I’m happy for him, but sort of preemptively mourning our connection as it had been. I know the shift is on the horizon. Any advice on how to navigate this transition is welcome.
I also am wondering if he should be forthcoming with her about our connection. I feel torn on that. Part of me feels like she should know, and part of me realizes that maybe it’s not her business nor May she want to know.
I also saw accidentally him text her something like “goodnight beautiful” or something while we were together and I cant help feeling the sting. I also felt a little sad when he tagged her in a social media post because our relationship was so not public.
Ok, that’s enough rambling… thanks for listening. I could use some virtual hugs. I am going through a lot of other things right now and this is just bad timing…

Being raised and socialized as a girl has really traumatized me in the stupidest ways. Being told not only by pressures in media and society to be beautiful and conform to femininity but also by your parents is rough. I remember being told as young as 10 I was too hairy and stinky and had to start smelling like fucking roses and be a soft as a baby. That shit damages a young mind. I remember looking at my naked pubescent figure at 15 and knowing this is exactly how society wants me to look and being so unhappy and disgusted with what I had (likely because of dysphoria) but still knowing I was what everyone wanted me to be, skinny, curvy, feminine, white and able bodied. I remember feeling the pressure to conform to beauty standards while trying to crush them under the guise of feminism as I got older around 18. Trying to convince not only myself but others that the hair that naturally grew on my body was okay to grow there, that I didn't need long hair to be pretty, that I was allowed to smell a bit natural or even masculine.
And even now that I'm 3 months on T I'm so worried about being ugly. With even my closest friends and allys joking about me growing a pedo stache, or going bald, or having greasy hair and acne. I can't let what hair I have on my face grow in because I'm afraid it makes me look cringe and dirty. I've started showering more often because I'm afraid to let how I smell now discourages others even when it just smells like a boy, a clean one at that. I have to shampoo my hair more often and wash my face because I'm afraid of any grease or acne when it will be so normal for a second puberty or even just in general.
I know I'm allowed to effeminate, that I'm allowed to want to be pretty. That I'm allowed to have long hair, or a clean face, but it makes me feel like I'm not masculine enough to be taken seriously. I'm worried that I like my soft voice too much, that I'm too okay with my softer curves, that I don't mind being under 6 feet tall, with small hands and small feet.
I've worked so hard to be comfortable in my skin and yet at every turn I'm afraid to become more masculine, and to let go of what it means to be a pretty girl.
I don't want to be a girl, I just wanna be pretty, beautiful, attractive, desired. And I'm worried to let go of my femininity because it means regardless I will be seen as less of all of those things by society in general.
it's silly, it's vain, and it doesn't make me any less valid, but I'm still so worried.
But part of me can't wait to be a little bit ugly, and be okay and comfortable with it.
I don't get to be conventionally attractive as a man, tall, muscular, chiseled jaw, and of course the anatomy-
I'll be a little short, a little soft, probably curvy, chubby even, I'm not going to have a full face of hair, I will have to work hard if I want to be muscular, and I'll never have cis genitalia. I just won't. and even if I worked hard to have everything else I'd still lack that.
I'll redefine what it means to be pretty for me and that will have to be okay.
I feel like I'm not dysphoric enough. I should be crying, screaming, throwing up over the fact that I get a chance to be ugly, greasy, and stinky. I've seen so many on here talk about how they can't wait to just finally be ugly. And I'm so terrified, and yet part of me can't wait to just finally let go of what it means to be seen as beautiful and not care. it's okay if I get a little ugly if that means I get to be me.
I see yall on here and you are so beautiful to me. I love that you are so happy to have a dirt stache, to be stinky, to get acne again. Part of me wishes I felt the same. But I'm so stupidly afraid.

This is my adorable baby boy, TARS. I named him after the robot from Interstellar (great movie). He is full blooded, AKC registered with family tree pedigree, good on shots, has special puppy pug food, special pug food and water bowls, and all the toys in the world.
After purchasing him for $1200 I had asked the sellers for another puppy. They said they had one left from the same litter and sent me some pictures of the puppy and of the parents. At this point I was no longer interested as the mom looked like they’d been using her up to make puppies for profit. I mentioned this in a comment on a post I’d made asking if I should have him neutered.
Since then a lot of the comments have been calling me all kinds of things. Saying I’m evil, my dog is a mutt, I got scammed, etc.
I just wanted to post here I regret deeply that I supported a puppy mill by purchasing one from them. But I will NEVER regret getting my beautiful baby boy. He’s a part of the family now and I don’t look at him any differently or think of him any less just because of the people he came from. I’m sure I’ll get hate and maybe banned for posting this but I love pugs just as much as all of you do. And I’ll always love him

Hey! I just finished watching this anime tonight and I am in love! My boyfriend showed it to me and we watched it together. As someone going to school to become an archaeologist, this anime was so fascinating to me! I absolutely love cultures and learning about them- especially fictional ones! Because with fictional ones the rational for way of life has to be created in a moment instead of through several hundred generations!
This anime was so incredibly fascinating from an anthropological perspective and that's the biggest reason why I fell in love with it! The creators thought of everything- even down to how burials are performed! The march with the sand for Fleet Commander Fairlock is amazing! It reminded me of the Viking burials where they would push the boat out and set it on fire with a flaming arrow!
I also really adored little Grace and the other little one we don't know the name of! They're so cute and round and I love them so much!
I adore Ledo and Chamber's growth as they learned, adapted, and grew to understand this new world they were in. Chamber's sacrifice was incredibly beautiful and it was in that moment I realized that Ledo was not the only one who had been changed by the world. For the better. This entire anime is about freedom and the power to be your own person, at least from my understanding. You watch Ledo and Chamber overcome their initial "programming" and become their own person (robot?)! Ledo's story was beautiful, as he struggled with being a "civilian" after being a soldier his entire life! And when the Hideauze/Whale Squids came into the picture- the way even though he said he was fighting because it was his duty, by that point it was so much more than that! Now he had a reason to keep fighting and to fight in general- Amy!
I adored this anime so much! It has quickly become my second favorite anime (only beat by Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood).

So I’ve watched the first season Kimetsu no Yaiba, the Mugen train movie, and the second season the entertainment district. The anime of course
I want to buy the manga but I don’t want to get major spoilers for the 3rd season coming out right now since I really enjoy how the anime presents the events.
How fast is the pacing in the manga? to the people who have watched the anime and read the manga, how many volumes can I read that stops at the end of the entertainment district?
Thank you to who ever answers :))

Beautiful and big-titted Lila Lovely is underappreciated by her husband. She jumps at the chance to fuck Bruce Venture when her hubby brings him over. First, the pair sneakily fuck behind the kitchen island. For round two, they move into the guest room, where Bruce is spending the night. Lila’s so good at getting dick on the side… this might not be her first time!"

Dressed to the nines, these beauties are ready to be lavished, licked, and made to cream! Ivy Wolfe and Nicole Kitt share Manuel Ferrara’s cock as he fucks their tight pussies to screaming squirting orgasms! Ivy and Nicole take turns sucking and deepthroating Manuel’s dick, eating each other out, and licking up squirt. Once these hotties are spent, Manuel cums on their faces to give them one last taste of his cock."

We've seen glimpses of the senior company and Brooke actually competed with them before. Does anyone know if the senior company competed around the country like the junior company did?

“As the year 2000 approaches, it is a safe bet that we will be treated to more superstition and barbarism of the [Pat] Robertson sort, and that other unscrupulous demagogues will try to canalize the fears and doubts of those who have been let down by the education system.” [“Minority Report,” Nation, 10/04/86]
“Whether you are a creationist like Pat Robertson, or a Catholic like Pat Buchanan, or a materialist believer in ‘Natural Law’ like [Harry] Jaffa and others, you can’t avoid the salient fact that the Creator, or the Divinity, or Nature, or Evolution, has evidently mandated that there be a certain quite large number of homosexuals.” [“Bloom’s Way,” Nation, 5/15/00]
"The disappointment was, and to me remains, acute. Within hours, the “reverends” Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell had announced that the immolation of their fellow creatures was a divine judgment on a secular society that tolerated homosexuality and abortion. At the solemn memorial service for the victims, held in the beautiful National Cathedral in Washington, an address was permitted from Billy Graham, a man whose record of opportunism and anti-Semitism is in itself a minor national disgrace. His absurd sermon made the claim that all the dead were now in paradise and would not return to us even if they could. I say absurd because it is impossible even in the most lenient terms to believe that a good number of sinful citizens had not been murdered by al-Qaeda that day. And there is no reason to believe that Billy Graham knew the current whereabouts of their souls, let alone their posthumous desires. But there was also something sinister in hearing detailed claims to knowledge of paradise, of the sort that bin Laden himself was making on behalf of the assassins." - God Is Not Great
"The suspicion that a calamity might also be a punishment is further useful in that it allows an infinity of speculation. After New Orleans, which suffered from a lethal combination of being built below sea level and neglected by the Bush administration, I learned from a senior rabbi in Israel that it was revenge for the evacuation of Jewish settlers from the Gaza Strip, and from the mayor of New Orleans (who had not performed his own job with exceptional prowess) that it was god’s verdict on the invasion of Iraq. You can nominate your own favorite sin here, as did the “reverends” Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell after the immolation of the World Trade Center. In that instance, the proximate cause was to be sought and found in America’s surrender to homosexuality and abortion. (Some ancient Egyptians believed that sodomy was the cause of earthquakes: I expect this interpretation to revive with especial force when the San Andreas Fault next gives a shudder under the Gomorrah of San Francisco.) When the debris had eventually settled on Ground Zero, it was found that two pieces of mangled girder still stood in the shape of a cross, and much wondering comment resulted. Since all architecture has always involved crossbeams, it would be surprising only if such a feature did not emerge. I admit that I would have been impressed if the wreckage had formed itself into a Star of David or a star and crescent, but there is no record of this ever having occurred anywhere, even in places where local people might be impressed by it. And remember, miracles are supposed to occur at the behest of a being who is omnipotent as well as omniscient and omnipresent. One might hope for more magnificent performances than ever seem to occur." - God Is Not Great
"The same can be said of the King epoch. The southern churches returned to their old ways after Reconstruction, and blessed the new institutions of segregation and discrimination. It was not until after the Second World War and the spread of decolonization and human rights that the cry for emancipation was raised again. In response, it was again very forcefully asserted (on American soil, in the second half of the twentieth century) that the discrepant descendants of Noah were not intended by god to be mixed. This barbaric stupidity had real-world consequences. The late Senator Eugene McCarthy told me that he had once urged Senator Pat Robertson—father of the present television prophet—to support some mild civil rights legislation. “I’d sure like to help the colored,” came the response, “but the Bible says I can’t.” The entire self-definition of “the South” was that it was white, and Christian. This is exactly what gave Dr. King his moral leverage, because he could outpreach the rednecks. But the heavy burden would never have been laid upon him if religiosity had not been so deeply entrenched to begin with. As Taylor Branch shows, many of King’s inner circle and entourage were secular Communists and socialists who had been manuring the ground for a civil rights movement for several decades and helping train brave volunteers like Mrs. Rosa Parks for a careful strategy of mass civil disobedience, and these “atheistic” associations were to be used against King all the time, especially from the pulpit. Indeed, one result of his campaign was to generate the “backlash” of white right-wing Christianity which is still such a potent force below the Mason-Dixon line." - God Is Not Great
"The Leader of the Free World was frequently photographed in the company of “end-times” Protestant fundamentalists and biblical literalists like Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson: tethered gas-balloons of greed and cynicism once written up by Martin Amis as “frauds of Chaucerian proportions.” The president found time to burble with such characters about the fulfillment of ancient “prophecy” and the coming Apocalypse. He also speculated drivellingly that the jury might yet return an open verdict on the theory of evolution. He was married to a woman who employed a White House astrologer. He said that the Abraham Lincoln Battalion had fought on “the wrong side” in the civil war in Spain, which logically meant that there had been a “right” side and that it was the Francoist one. (When the last attempt at a fascist coup was made in Spain, in the early 1980s, the Reagan administration was asked for comment, again in the person of the Strangelovian freak Alexander Haig, who flabbergastingly said that the armed attack on Spain’s elected parliament was a purely internal Spanish affair.) With Haig, Reagan also gave permission to Menachem Begin and Ariel Sharon to invade Lebanon in 1982, and to take their incursion as far as Beirut to do the dirty work of the Catholic Phalange. In order to gratify Chancellor Helmut Kohl of West Germany, Reagan agreed to visit an SS cemetery in Bitburg (Ich bin ein Bitburger) and, as if that in itself was not bad enough, to declare that those interred there were not just “victims,” but victims “just as much” as the civilians they had slaughtered. He made stupid, alarming on-air jokes about pre-emptively bombing the USSR. He pardoned the convicted FBI agents Felt and Miller, who had been prosecuted and fired for illegal break-ins and wiretaps directed at the anti-war movement. In a really sweet irony, one of these men (Mark Felt), as I was to learn, had been the “Deep Throat” whose torpedoes had sent the previous elected Republican administration to the floor of the sea.*" - Hitch-22
