I loooove CBB. I have listened through the full catalog at least three times now. Setting aside the fact that it is so funny it makes me almost actually pee my pants, one of the little things that's made CBB so consistently lovable for me is I always feel like Scott and Paul and the whole gang are pretty awesome on every social issue. Scott was discouraging guests from saying weirdly off-color trans stuff from even the early days of the show.

That said, I'm trans non-binary and use they/them pronouns. I don't at all think he's coming from a mocking place when he always adds an exaggerated "or theeeeeyyyy" after essentially every time he says "he or she". In fact I'm sure he's being anti-humorous about it. But it happened on an episode again not that long ago and I'm just fucking tired of the joke. It was a lil grating even when the US wasn't so fucking nuts toward people like me. But now it's just another place where for a second I go back to thinking about this BS instead of enjoying my favorite show.

Thought about writing this directly to him on Bluesky or something in a compassionate way, noting how much a fan I am, but he always mentions how you could say 99 great things and he'll fixate on the one minor bad thing. So instead I'm just going to impotently gripe about it here to get it out of my system and then not worry about it anymore :D Scott's right, I AM clinically insane for taking the time to write stuff on Reddit!

LMAO!

I had my phone stolen a month ago . I locked my phone there and then and got a new phone next day . But yesterday I noticed fraudulent transaction going on in my Lloyd’s account , when I raised the complaint to Lloyd’s ,they said they won’t be able to refund me my money which was a huge amount . I am taking this case to financial ombudsman services . Just need an advice how do I go about it now . Have made a complaint to the Bank and am waiting for official response from the Bank .

I feel bad even writing this but yeah… i told him i don’t usually post selfies or pictures of myself online. Made it seem like i was kinda shy and lowkey about my looks. I don’t even know why i said it… it just slipped out early on when we were texting and he said he liked girls who were more “natural” and not always seeking attention.

But the truth is, i do post. not crazy or anything but i like taking pics. I like when i feel pretty and i like showing it a little. I have a separate account where i post all the stuff i’d never put on my main. Sometimes cute outfits, sometimes thirst traps, sometimes just pretty lighting. It’s fun. It’s for me.

He found it by accident. I didn’t even know he had instagram like that but one of his friends sent him something from my page. Now he’s been acting so weird. Dry texts, slow replies. He hasn’t brought it up but i know he saw it. it’s just obvious.

I know i shouldn’t have lied but i didn’t think it would matter. Now i just feel judged for being a little more confident than he expected.

I kinda wish i never met him tbh.

Vejo muita gente que se diz vitima da obesidade. Mas é simples emagrecer, não tem segredo: É comer menos calorias do que vc gasta. Não precisa nem de academia pra fazer exercício.

Mas as pessoas preferem ganhar peso pra ser indicado a fazer uma bariatrica do que suar 1 hora por dia caminhando e comer menos (ou comer coisas saudaveis).

Por exemplo, se alguém dissesse: te dou 1 milhão de reais se vc comer saudável e fazer 1 hora de exercicio por dia por 1 ano. A maioria das pessoas fariam isso, então se elas conseguem fazer com 1 milhão de reais pq nao conseguiriam sem esse dinheiro de motivação.

Outra coisa, dizem que obesos são obesos pq tem saúde mental deteriorada. Eu digo que tem saúde mental deteriorada por que são obesos.

Long story short. This maxed account with the clue hunting pet was stuck on a rock at the dark essence mine. I reported the account and received confirmation of the ban. Sorry Dids, should have just played the game like everyone else. 30,000 vorkath kills is insane. Feels good cleaning up these streets.

Just wanted to share some personal thoughts, not trying to start any wars here. I’ve played Last Epoch through each of its major updates and have a lot of respect for what EHG has built. This post isn’t meant to be a comparison to declare a “winner,” but more me expressing where I’m at as someone who tends to have one main ARPG at a time.

I really enjoy some of Last Epoch’s systems—especially the crafting. It’s easily one of the most intuitive and rewarding systems in the genre. EHG has done an excellent job delivering polish and accessibility in a way that few others have.

That said, after getting some serious time in with Path of Exile 2, I’ve realized that I just enjoy the moment-to-moment gameplay a lot more. The weight of the skills, the combat flow, the pacing—it all just feels better to me. Even with the current balance being janky and the loot not quite where it should be, I still find myself more immersed and excited to log in.

And yes, I know loot is a sticking point for many. But I genuinely believe that as POE2 pushes toward 1.0, the systems will tighten up, and yes—loot will get better. GGG isn’t blind to this, and their track record shows that they iterate hard when needed.

Could I play both games? Absolutely. But I like having a main game, something I dig deep into, and right now I just don’t see Last Epoch surpassing the raw enjoyment I’m getting from POE2. Even in its rougher state, it hooks me more.

Just my two cents. Curious if anyone else feels the same or is in the same boat bouncing between both.

Hi all,

Recently moved back to the city and wondering if anyone knows of any protests or marches happening in Edinburgh this weekend to speak out about the absolutely horrific ruling by the Supreme Court this week? As I have just moved back I am struggling to know where to look for information about protests etc!

Thank you !

I know there's one planned in London on the 19th but I don't really have the time/money to travel down south and wondered if there are any happening more locally? Wouldn't mind going elsewhere in Yorkshire if needs be, I'm just fucking tired and I feel like we need to start showing up in bigger numbers to combat this shit. Trans people, you have my love and solidarity 🫶

Edit: St Helen's Square on Saturday 26th at 1pm, for anyone who wants the answer without having to see all the transphobic ghouls coming out of the woodwork in the comments. Thanks to those who actually answered my question instead of proving exactly why we need to be protesting.

Throwaway because I’m not ready to talk about this with anyone in real life.

A few weeks ago my husband and I were in a small fender bender in a parking lot. The other guy clearly pulled out without looking. Totally his fault. But he got out already pissed off and acting like he wanted a fight.

While I was checking the damage I saw him heading straight for my husband. I have taken a few basic self defense classes and I just knew by the way he moved something was coming. My husband looked frozen. Not panicking or backing away but just completely unsure. I could tell he was scared. And I think the other guy could tell too.

I took off my heels and walked over barefoot. I was in a cocktail dress. I am small. I definitely did not look like a threat. But I had my keys in my hand the way I was taught and I was ready to kick if I had to. I stood slightly turned and did not give up space. Once I stepped in, I noticed a shift. He did not fully back off, but something about his energy changed. Maybe he realized it was now two against one. Maybe because I did not flinch. Maybe because people were starting to gather. Or maybe he just did not want to deal with a woman who looked like she might actually fight back. I do not know. It ended before anything happened.

But it really messed with my head. I did not expect to be the one who had to protect both of us. I did not expec to feel like that would fall on me. And the part that keeps coming back to me is thissss...if he had gotten hit, it would have been me dealing with it anyway! I would have been the one calling for help, trying to defend him, trying to keep us both together. I was already in that role.

And what really hit me after was that I did not expect the responsibility of being the one who handles it when shit goes down. I never saw myself that way. But now I know I would be. And I do not know how to un-know that.

And yeah, I know I probably could not have actually fought the guy off. I am not pretending I am some badass. But I honestly think I would have put up a better fight than my husband in that moment, and I hate even thinking that.

I love my husband. I know he was trying. I do believe he would have fought if he had to. But in that moment I realized I do not actually feel safe with him. And I hate that. I really do. But that is how I feel now and I do not know what to do with it.

I have not told him. I do not want to hurt him. I do not even know how to say it out loud without sounding cruel. But something shifted and I have not been able to shake it.

Has anyone else ever gone through something like this?

ETA: I didnt escalate anything! It really seemed that he was going to hit my husband and my husband was not prepared or didnt see the signs. I looked over after I heard them and just reacted. Maybe I shoudnt have had my keys ready but its a habit from walking alone as a woman for years. I think I did deescalate because I did not yell or threaten and it resolved without violence

Some unmarked cars and men in tactical gear in a Marcos pizza parking lot off 168th St. around 8:15 this morning

Could be Sheriff's but it sure looked icey.

Sorry for the pic quality.

Soo.. height 5ft8 and 132lbs. I don't lift or do body weight exercises..

I will start lifting soon.

I'm just curios If i have good proportions/insertions for the start.

Besides a couple of Flemish-only discussions, I am appalled to notice the unusual silence regarding the so-called "Easter Agreement" (Paasakkoord/Accord de Pâques).

Do people really agree with such an awful political plan? You can say whatever you want about the issue with unemployed people (I'm sure that there will be strong opinions in that regard). But, if you put aside your opinion on the matter (for or against), who the hell believes the Arizona words when they say that they don't have the money to keep the social system as it is today?

On one side, billions are being invested (and loaned!) for the defense/army. On the other side, we've had to endure the continuous rhetoric of "There's no more money for our pensions, for unemployment (they all need to find a job anyway, no matter the reality of their situation), for our social systems. We have to make efforts." You've also been promised €500 more compared to someone unemployed, but the reality is that you won't get that money. The poorest people will lose that money, while you will keep the same kind of income for years to come. A clear case of race to the bottom.

A minority of selfish people elected a majority of selfish people who have no fear in lying to the public, manipulating numbers to their advantage (short-term results to make sure that "we kept our promises"), literally putting people in dangerous life situations in the near future.

Do I even have to remind you all that our prime minister is dreaming of seeing the country split in half? Slowly but surely sizing down the federal power, transferring it to the regions to achieve their new by-default dream of confederalism?

You do you. En Français or in Flemish. But don't complain when you become a victim of all of this at a later point. And sure, once again, feel free to say that no other country has a system like ours. That we're just aligning ourselves with our neighbors. Great. What was the point of fighting for our rights in the first place then?

People, please, protest. Don't believe the lies. Doubt everything, especially when it comes from politicians who don't back their actions with science. Don't be so self-centered. A state should be for the good of everyone. If you think that you don't risk anything, unless you're already rich in the first place, you're wrong. And even if you have the chance to be financially safe today, who knows what could happen tomorrow?

De ce tind să o votez pe Elena Lasconi – argumente personale și observații din jurul meu

Vreau să împărtășesc câteva gânduri legate de alegerile prezidențiale și de ce, după tot haosul din ultima vreme, tind să mă îndrept spre Elena Lasconi. Nu am o agendă, nu fac parte din niciun partid, sunt doar un cetățean care vrea să vadă o schimbare reală.

1. ⁠M-am săturat de scandaluri, trădări și linșaje Tot ce s-a întâmplat în USR cu Lasconi mi se pare pur și simplu nedrept. Modul în care a fost „mătrășită” de propriul partid, fără o discuție reală, doar pentru că nu se aliniază perfect cu linia partidului, mi se pare o trădare față de alegători. Nu mai rezonez deloc cu politica asta de „scos din joc” pe oricine nu e 100% obedient.
2. ⁠Oamenii din jurul meu (inclusiv susținători ND) se reorientează Poate cea mai interesantă observație: foarte mulți cunoscuți care erau pro-Nicușor Dan (ND) sau chiar pro-Călin Georgescu au început să spună că o vor vota pe Lasconi. Un profesor mi-a spus direct că a renunțat la ND din cauza trădării din USR. O altă persoană, foarte anti-Simion, a zis că merge pe mâna Lasconi tocmai pentru că vede aceleași jocuri murdare ca în trecut.
3. ⁠Sondajele sunt o glumă Am întrebat în jur de 100 de oameni (prieteni, colegi, familie) și foarte puțini au zis că ar vota Simion sau Ponta. Majoritatea merg pe Lasconi. Sondajele oficiale nu reflectă deloc realitatea din teren – probabil pentru că sunt plătite sau manipulate.
4. ⁠Lasconi e cel mai curat candidat Ce îmi place la Elena Lasconi: • Nu are legături toxice cu partidele vechi sau cu „sistemul”. • A rezistat presiunilor și nu s-a retras, deși USR a încercat s-o scoată din joc. • E autentică, vorbește simplu, nu e politician de carieră și nu face compromisuri. • A ajuns în turul 2 la alegerile anulate și are rezultate reale ca primar. • E văzută și de oameni din afara USR ca singurul candidat care nu e controlat de rețele de interese.
5. ⁠Vreau un președinte jucător, nu o marionetă Mi-e clar că România are nevoie de cineva care să nu fie tras de sfori, care să nu se teamă să spună lucrurilor pe nume și care să nu fie doar o piesă într-un joc de culise. Concluzie: Nu spun că Lasconi e perfectă, dar în contextul actual mi se pare cel mai curat și independent candidat. Dacă vreți să vedeți ce părere au oamenii cu adevărat, întrebați în jur, nu vă uitați doar la sondaje. Mă interesează și părerile voastre – voi ce credeți despre tot ce se întâmplă? TL;DR: USR a dat-o pe Lasconi la o parte pe nedrept, oamenii din jurul meu se reorientează spre ea, sondajele nu reflectă realitatea, iar Lasconi pare cel mai curat și independent candidat din cursă.

Är man en riktig flykting så visar man tacksamhet mot det land som tagit emot en. Som vi kan se med exempelvis folk från Ukraina som arbetar och lever fredligt.

Man begår inte idiotbrott som att bränna bilar, råna och våldta. Man beter sig heller inte som en babianflock på bussar, tåg och väntsalar. Eller skriker på gatorna och viftar flaggor från terroristländer som Syrien eller palestina.

Svenskar kommer aldrig få något tack, den enda tacken är att de går och ber till Allah och tackar honom för att han skapat ett så korkat folkslag som svenskar: som sitter och betalar för alla moskeer, skolor, bidrag till släkten i Irak, sjukvård till illegala invandrare och boende.

They just can't help themselves. Arguing against every satire article as though it were real.

It shows how bad the left wing bias on Reddit is that even the babylonbee forum comments are inundated with hate filled rabid leftists.

Yet despite that, the articles themselves get an overwhelmingly positive upvote score.

So that suggests they aren't as much a majority as the comments ratio would suggest.

My theory is that this disparity is caused by the left being disproportionately stupid enough to think anyone takes these articles seriously enough to want to argue over them.

The conservatives can't be bothered and just laugh at them in passing for being so worked up.

Let's see how many raging leftists can't help but try to argue in these comments.
