Thinking about the tree that used to be on my path to the gym

Goddamn thing fell over from a storm, survived and kept growing sideways. Huge fire on that hill, survived, used its old bark as a standing area for a new branch that exploded into leaves. Several dry seasons, just fine.

Then someone up and cut it down, most likely because it wasn't pretty like the others nearby - clearly it had already proved it wasn't because it could fall. Ugh.



GOD i hate it when stuff like that happens. im in an area that's rapidly gentrifying and boy we get so many beautiful trees and fields demolished every couple of years because some asshole wants to build an office or appt complex that no one will be able to afford

Yup ;_ ; at least it hasn't fully happened here, it's still a grassy hill, but they planted things that barely reach the tree category along the side and now the middle of the field is empty without that big lad.

More random thoughts, I'm getting the warm fuzzies watching Bridget GuiltyGear have most of her Arcade cutscenes be someone supporting her transition, I'm not even trans but it speaks to me so much about coming out after you've been pidgeonholed into that stereotype

I have really mixed feelings on Bridget being trans in Guilty Gear. With her backstory it kind of comes off as she was ''groomed'' into it? which plays into some pretty awful stereotypes. I also just really like feminine male characters, characters that break gender stereotypes in such a hardcore way are the goat. Though I do really like the new design and I like the way they handled it.

Also I've never realized how hard it was for a noob to get into pirating until now. 90% of it is just computer street smarts which you just never learn if you use a phone all the time, also Windows throws a huge fit if you try to download torrent clients now. I'm never going to be annoyed at the 5459395 how do I download this rom questions again.

really debating on getting a raspberry pi and making an arcade machine. Or an elliptical

How did Optimus prime lose the war in the bay movies. The guy is a murdering pyscho who rips off robots heads, tears out robot throats, shots surrendering robots, donuts robots, slices robots in half, and is spewing out one liners about killing them. Meanwhile Megatron has only ripped apart one guy in half.

Rewatching scenes from the bay movies makes me realize how great the cg is as well as it being mixed with practical explosions. Just too bad the movies suck every where else lol

Geez man, I don't think that's it at all. It's a genuine concern, but the release being on the same day dispelled any hesitations. Anyone still saying that on twitter, and boy there are, is spreading some transphobic rhetoric, especially if they missed the Arcade dialogue.
Spoilering because ramble over lore-

She was obviously designed to be androgynous with he/him originally and that was the appeal, but just like with Testament, it's probably because the creator wasn't too knowledgeable of the subject and now it's updated. In the story, it's an actual discussion if she's just "letting" her parents win by accepting being a transwoman, or if it's her own choice. Even the theme song mentions how she can't go back home because the life by herself doesn't feel genuine there.

In the Arcade mode, with Ky and Goldlewis the chads, she realizes that it's truly her choice because she feels happy without anyone telling her to act like that. Goldlewis even implies being gay/bi by saying that he couldn't live with a certain secret hidden and came out even if he's never visiting his family again, and Bridget uses that to realize she's not too different.
Ky is less helpful and compares it to getting Gear genes from his eye and accepting whatever the public says about it, but that's a nice sentiment, I think

This is why I said it's super cute and relatable to a lot more than just trans people - I got called a lesbian so much at school that I felt like I was letting the bullies win by considering that I could be bi - but nah I just like a variety of genders, self exploration with no pressure helped

Re-checking the lore, Bridget's parents also wanted her to be a nun with no agency, so her being a girl but still very tomboyish is a way of asserting that it's a different perspective


Thread that explains it more eloquently than I can

i just want to 1+ your description and interpretation of the story for her i think the devs whoever wrote it did a pretty good job at writing it in a way that in fact came off as not her being kind of fed to be that way and for the same reasons you stated there was enough depth to the concept of those scenes to kind of dispell what people are saying about it also YO i was constantly called a lesbian in high school too in fact my sister still calls me/thinks i am a lesbian

internet back

what the freak is serena williams trying to say...

“I never wanted to have to choose between tennis and a family. I don’t think it’s fair. If I were a guy, I wouldn’t be writing this because I’d be out there playing and winning while my wife was doing the physical labor of expanding our family."

what even is this complaint

i am a feminist

i think she is trying to make some sort of feminist statement here unless the media is taking it out of context but i dont understand this point? its not fair? this is not a moment to make a comparison between fairness between men and women i mean... yeah if you are the women and you and your dude want to have a baby together as in you and him uh... you need to be pregnant? "if i were a guy i would blah blah" okay but... yo u could choose to wait until after your career? i guess the point could be that athletes careers often overlap with fertility span but like... then make that choice? which you are?? like how is this not fair... i cant wrap my head around this statement it is the fact of life... and shes not making an abortion staetement thats not what this is she is not currently pregnant but she wants to get pregnant like what is the request to make this more fair? make babies possible without being pregnant?? or make guys be pregnant?? what is not fair serena?? maybe im too tired to understand or again what she said and how she meant is being taken out of context

and im not really a big serena fan especially after her bratty reaction to losing out to Osaka i will take Naomi any day of the week please and thank you

my clampdown has a smudge of silver paint on the bar between his police lights and a spec of it is off. thanks hasbro

I think a lot of teen - 20ish year olds blame their upbringings way too much. Sure the environment you grew up in can help you have a lead or have setbacks but at a certain point it really is up to you to change your life. It just seems like a way to avoid responsibility because the handlebars of adults helping you out for 2 decades is gone

i had a conversation with someone on another site that had a surprisingly positive conclusion i spoke with a women who leaned very conservatively and there was a point of disagreement based on censorship and responsibility on the part of who displays what kind of content i need not say to make obvious what side i took but looking at her other posts i kind of figured the person i was dealing with we agreed that we could not agree on some parts and came to a point she understood and in fact agreed with some of my points she went on to tell me that i was the first liberal/progressive person she had ever spoken to that she has had a good conversation with and that treated her respectfully and taking that as just what it was at face value as she said it made me feel pretty good about my discussion skills opposed to how other people on this other specific site-

coughcough sexist guys coughcough


-seem to think lol i of course dont believe that liberal/progressive people are generally how she described but through her texts i felt a genuine hurt that she experienced from other people from my side she said she had been called homophobic racist transphobic etc in the past but i was not someone who jumped to conclusions about her character and she wholeheartedly thanked me and said she appreciated the experience i believe her words were it was kind of eye opening in a way again that felt pretty good i try not to judge people and jump to conclusions even based on what is happening in front of me maybe what i can see isnt the whole of their character. maybe this is a bad moment? maybe there is something being misunderstood? there could be anything an everyone deserves a chance to explain themselves and have a chance to demonstrate whatever facets of their character may exist and i feel that even people on my side when they are supposed to be open minded can too quickly jump to conlusions about someone its just nice to see that my attempt was in fact acknowledged

that said there were comment is saw left by her that did in fact come off kind of homophobic/transphobic and she certainly wasnt the warmest person out there but fighting fire with fire is not always the solution when you have someone like that making them simply feel like the bad one in the room can sometimes just flutter up their "hate" or "detest" toward your point or cause i think showing compassion can show them their preconceived notions about you and your point may not be completely founded its not likely by probability but for me even the 1 out of 100 people you can show that too is worth the effort put into kindness and understanding of people if they can of course be respectful and show that maybe their character isnt such a one way street.

that was a random thought it just read more like a random rant sh sh

That is a bit of playing with dice though; they can assume you're on their side because you're nice to them, then shut it all down if you disagree once. It is the better way to argue with half a chance of a good outcome tho, even if it needs to be a really good day to approach someone with a modicum of patience after what you just read in their posts.

oh definitely you right in this case there was a clear line of communication where the "message" at the end for her was "oh look there is someone who i dont agree with who isnt the devil" which is super rare to actually happen and i also dont argue against doing the complete opposite like say entirely ghosting and refusing to put up with it for me speaking up is like a therapy for some others not engaging at all is like that the only reason i bothered going through the filter version with her is because she demonstarted the ability to respond to my criticism without "LOL meme U MaD?" which seems to be typical these days when you disagree with someone unfortunately...
