Telling young women that they will only be truly happy if they are homemakers during their commencement ceremony and that anything else is “diabolical lies” meant to have you stray from god’s path
Advocates for the use of trigger warnings suggest that they can help people avoid or emotionally prepare for encountering content related to a past trauma. But trigger warnings may not fulfill either of these functions, according to an analysis published in Clinical Psychological Science.
I think my first Bethesda game was Skyrim and I love Skyrim. I’ve played through Skyrim when it first came out I played through it again in the DLC came out. I played through it again on the switch I have since played through it again on PC. I love Skyrim. I played it so many times and I know it’s a meme to keep re-releasing...
I’ve only really played New Vegas extensively, but I think the biggest thing to remember is that when you’re familiar with these western-style RPGs, they seem like they have a bottomless well of content because you know how and where to find quests and such. When these games are new, you have to find content for the first time, and if you’re not sure where to look then it becomes frustrating and boring.
New Vegas is better at this than most fallout games because once you have a quest it often leads to a sequence of other quests. in FO3, half the game is just finding stuff to do. Never played 4 or 76. No one plays FO1 or FO2 anymore but they sometimes suffer from similar issues, especially FO1.
Build variety in these games comes more from the perks, skill pts, and SPECIAL stats you choose. They’re not quite as visual as the different classes in Skyrim, but they certainly do much different things.
Similar thing here. I once went to a Minecraft mod dev’s discord to ask if there was a way to center the health bars that come with his mod. He basically said “you’re the only person who has ever asked for this, everyone else just puts it in a corner of their screen”. I feel centering is a basic feature of any adjustable UI element!
It also encompasses any support from medical professionals to do extremely simple shit like wear different clothes or change your hair. Also accessing gender-affirming support groups, therapy, changing your name and pronouns, or non-permanent hormone treatments.
This new law doesn’t ban all of those things, but it does go pretty far to limit what can be done and has a chilling effect on other forms of trans-related healthcare.
For instance, even if a kid wants to use a nickname that doesn’t match their sex assigned at birth, it has to be reported to their parents. Stuff like that is clearly just designed to make sure kids aren’t allowed to express that they’re trans if their parents don’t approve.
Honestly if the abstract can’t deliver a succinct and accurate summary of the findings and their limitations, then it’s probably a bad paper that you wouldn’t want to cite.
Almost 40% of South Dakotans have not critically evaluated Noem
FTFY. I refuse to believe that 40% of anyone would see what she did as justified. The only reason you would is if you want to kill dogs yourself, you don’t know what really happened, or you don’t understand why it’s bad and are giving her the benefit of the doubt.
That just tells me that she is a psychopath who is only held back from killing humans by the fact that God might punish her for it. As an atheist, I don’t kill humans because I don’t want to. It would be extremely emotionally scarring for me. Apparently for her, it’s just a matter of “God would hurt me if I did”.
