for a studied and nuanced take on this subject which addresses the fact that everything in the first world ultimately runs on oil i recommend: https://thehonestsorcerer.medium.com/collapse-too-might-come-sooner-than-expected-eb3f16e8542d

yeah i dunno glitch in the matrix!

that’s a possessed craftsdwarf for ya

i’m a huge DF fan, and I love it when you find dwarfs to root for!

One of our crafters was stirred by this tale and went into a frenzied state. The mayor has drafted a delegation to deliver this artifact to your noble warrior in the name of Armok!

Legendary War Crutch: “Odrizudil, the Mithril Support”

Crafted from the rarest of ores, this mithril crutch gleams with a lustrous silver sheen, intricately engraved with scenes of dwarven champions bravely defending their mountain halls. Its shaft is adorned with glyphs that shimmer softly, imbued with the essence of resilience and unyielding determination. When grasped, it bestows upon its wielder unparalleled stability and fortitude in battle, enabling them to withstand even the mightiest adversaries without faltering. It bristles with thorns of steel.

oh in the united states they can legally work us to death it’s capitalism++ over here

homie in the pic is wearing a Raiders jersey so probably in the states.

Doesn’t mean that’s the truth to the photo but it’s an educated guess, as he mentioned he had to work overnight which probably meant a double shift or similar.

when you come home after a 10 hour shift and just fall on the couch and sleep so you can get up enough energy to eat dinner and kiss your wife

I love to see this for him

my wife had a huge purse collection that i’m allowed to mine! Old makeup, too!

hey sis! If you’re as pretty as me you are gonna have a good time! If you look at my post on the makeup comm you can see my boy face better without the glasses. I’m going to be 50 in a couple years.

When i first shaved my beard (after not shaving it for over 10 years) it was physically painful to see my face in the mirror. The vagus nerve in my chest would clench with anxiety. I hated my face so much.

My therapist helped me work out affirmations based on this meme a trans friend sent me that i was in love with:

So every night i spend an hour walking and I spent a lot of the time repeating out loud to myself over and over ‘ValenThyme is so pretty and she loves herself limitlessly’ and variations of that.

I wasn’t raised positively and was pushed to reduce my feminine behavior. Nobody ever told me I was a pretty girl. So i told myself, a thousand times. And my dumb crow brain listened. And now it is true, I love myself limitlessly and I can see the pretty girl when I look at myself. Okay we are a woman now, the beginning stages of an old lady probably. Whatever, I love myself limitlessly and I’m going to spend the rest of my days doing the things that make me happy.

It sounds like you are learning to see the true happy you inside and that is tremendous! Love yourself limitlessly and be free with us the skies are delightful!

My kid asked me what the closest thing to immortality was and I had to introduce them to Ea-nāșir’s legacy

You know what’s wild is Gibson said he had only ever seen a computer once ‘through a window’ when he wrote Neuromancer!

i love that choker, cutie

It’s just personal preference. Some trans women get surgery, some don’t do anything and are happy with that. And everything in between.

I’m told you are to wait almost 2 years after starting E to get implants, to give your breast tissue a chance to develop (you go through 2nd puberty when you take it).

Personally i want them to match my big frame, so the DD’s will be for going out when I want to look feminine. When going to the gym i’m probably going to stick with the cutlets especially for doing laps the larger ones are heavy af and make you really warm. At home i sometimes just wear the bra with nothing in it but it’s pads just to feel nice.

I don’t mind the questions you’ve been quite respectful curiosity is great!

I had six boobs to return so it really was a big bag of 'em!

there’s like 3 levels,

cutlets, these are soft little pads that are self adhesive or you wear them in your bra. They don’t get very big. I’m 6’2 and am wearing these now and the bra is underfull.

breast forms, these are like for mastectomy replacements or trans women or crossdressing. They tend to have nipples. I’m a big girl and need 500 gram DD’s to match my frame. These will slide into pockets in my bras or just be held into place by compression. They feel realistic in the bra! My new ones are getting here friday i can’t wait I didn’t want to return the other set but the matching bra didn’t fit.

full chest plates, these go from like your neck to your waist and include your shoulders. These let you do advanced stuff like wear dresses that look like you have real boobs. I cannot imagine wearing one if these they look sooooo hot!

Oh they are an Amazon return center and I couldn’t really find any boobs locally!

Yes that is me I am that lady! Thank you <3

the accessories really help me feel nice and feminine. Got these fashion frames from aliexpress and i think they really help to feminize my face and look.

Going to go to Staples to return a bunch of boobs that didn’t fit and this will be my second time leaving the house in full femme and i love it so much.

Just need to get a femme haircut now!

As a sailboat enthusiast kedging is most often used as in the case of poor Blackbeard when you get caught up on something and need to move a small bit in a direction that’s against the wind or water. So usually just trying to get unstuck when you’ve run afoul of hidden sand bars or the tide shift leaves you in an awkward spot. You also might do it to help set an extra anchor if you’re worried about drifting on the tides.

Even deep water boats only have a few hundred feet of anchor rode and line and it takes a while and is a hassle to kedge out with your dinghy.

I have never in all my years of boating seen anyone do it as a method of general propulsion outside of just handling lines at the dock. It’s just sometimes your best shot.
