No no, I'm saying that PSL doesn't do any of the shit we hate trots for. They're cool.

Also Philosophy Tube plays a pirate who has been changed to a trans man with a cuckold fetish and gets way too much screentime. It was very confusing.

Also she didn't like the idea of playing a pirate that does horrible things and comes from a society where slavery is the norm...being a bad person. She had the writers make it clear that all those wives are fully consenting when their pirate lord husband pimps them out. Can't have a bad guy be a bad guy.

Edit: oh! And when she's introduced, a character literally asks her if she's a philosopher. Like real on the nose.

This is a big part of why I don't fly anymore if I can avoid it. Every time I've flown since transitioning, I've been patted down, either because of my bra (where they usually have me lift my arms and pat my sides) or my genitals (where they pat my inner leg). Which one seems to be entirely based on how they gender me.

I also often got the awkward "would you like a man or a woman to pat you down?" Which is super cool cause like, you're asking me if I want a dude grabbing my thigh, or I wanna ask a female agent to do it and hope she's not gonna be weird about touching trans people. It's cool - not like there's a whole transphobic narrative around trans women imposing themselves on uncomfortable cis women~

Fuck planes. Train gang.

I have water cooling on my 3d printer of all things. It's so incredibly unnecessary but it looks cool.

Saturday night Pathfinder is church. Here we are trying to prevent some cultists and fake plague doctors from unleashing a horrible disease on our city. I'm the Tiefling fighter in blue.

Low difficulty terminids is such a good vibe, feels like a whole different game.

You want to study the effect of a certain trait on a group. So you take two groups and try to make them as even as possible, aside from the trait you are testing. Ideally you'd match every guy in your sample with someone who is mostly identical in upbringing, location, etc, but taller. That's how you make sure it's actually height causing the effect and not something else. If you don't account for this, you might end up with a bunch of bourgeois short kings getting compared to 6 foot tall poor people, and might even come the conclusion that height has a negative correlation with wealth.

It's not saying "height matters, not those other things." But rather "height is one of those things that effect socioeconomic status, statistically."

I'm making spiderman and it's a cheesy romcom now.

"Russia blows up their own stuff all the time. Here's some links to western news articles about the ZNPP shelling, the Kakhovka dam, and a copy of Enemy At The Gates. As you can see, self-destruction is just part of Russian military doctrine."

I have seriously heard the "they just do that" argument from acquaintances.

The Tsaesci were awesome snake people in the in-game book 2920: Last Year of the First Era, but then Oblivion decided they were just regular humanoids. Very lame.
