Yeah, a lot of the attention beautiful people (but especially beautiful femme-presenting folks) receive seems actively dangerous.
Edit: plus, lots of one’s peers will likely attribute all accomplishments to beauty rather than merit, which sucks.
I mean, I am a nonbinary person who does experience dysphoria. I just suspect that a lot of folks, especially those who don’t understand the consequences, would take the deal purely for perceived social benefits. Would they regret it? Possibly, yeah.
Being beautiful is a superpower, disregarding gender. I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of “cis” people who are not conventionally attractive would choose to take this deal purely for the social benefits.
My main source of protein is definitely tofu. Most days I eat around 500 grams in various dishes. I also eat other beans and lentils, although amounts vary week by week. When I use protein powder I like to mix pea protein with brown rice protein. Pea protein has a different balance of amino acids compared to soy, but alone tends to be hard on my stomach. Hence, the mixture.
FWIW I have achieved higher levels of gym strength as a vegan than I ever did as a carnivore.
I use a modified version of the feminine form of my given name. I spent a long time thinking about it but in the end it felt right.
Ngl with her outrageous dodge i-frames duchess is one of the more accessible nightreign classes imo. It’s true that she doesn’t have much health, but even raider and guardian can’t tank many unblocked hits from bosses until you get good at timing their damage reduction abilities. Her rewind ability also has no wind up and can be triggered during another animation. I had a much harder time with iron eye, recluse, and executor.
I am convinced that law enforcement wants intentionally biased AI decision makers so that they can justify doing what they’ve always done with the cover of “it’s not racist because a computer said so!”
The scary part is most people are ignorant enough to buy it.
I’ve recently been working longer hours than usual away from home. My dog has been much more physically affectionate when I’m around because he misses me (cries). For example, at night he sleeps against my leg so that he’ll know if I get up. Things have been tough recently but knowing that this furry monster that lives in my house loves me has been helping.
There are plenty of people who can lift 800lbs in the idealized form of barbells along certain ranges of motion, such as the deadlift or squat. However, I sincerely doubt any human could lift 800lbs of dead weight gorilla, much less one that is struggling. The heaviest stones that have been lifted are in the mid 600# range, and lifting a stone is easier than lifting an equivalent weight of floppy body.
I loved Morrowind at the time. The atmosphere felt alien and there was something new and surprising around each corner. That said, I suspect it would be nearly unplayable if your sensibilities are shaped by modern game design. The controls - especially for combat - were considered clunky even at the time, so I imagine they’ve aged poorly. There is also almost no quest tracking system. You had to use hints in character dialogue or environment design to figure out where to go next to follow a plot thread.
I’m not a fan of the big budget game remake trend, but if someone were to remake Morrowind with QoL improvements and not just updated visuals, I’d consider checking it out.
Famously, no misogynists are married to women.
Yeah learning that a lot of dysphoria symptoms are, in fact, not commonly experienced by most people was quite the revelation to me.
I’m sure it’s sufficient for two players, but I don’t know how the game rearranges the interface with four. It might be a little crowded.
I can confirm that Barony is a fun couch coop experience for two on a steam deck, so long as you are prepared to die and have to start over a lot. It might be tricky with four players, as there is a lot of inventory menuing. You might need a really large screen.
OP I hope this is what you needed to hear. I spent a long time convincing myself that I must be cis, despite that pretending at manhood was making me miserable. It’s a long road to accepting that you’re “trans enough”, whatever that means to you.
I do thrift, but my most recent great find was at a queer clothing swap downtown. It is a long, black, integrated flowy pant + skirt. The skirt really billows when I walk or it gets caught in the breeze. My silhouette tends to be top heavy, and the profile of this piece really balances it out.
