    I prefer the original poster. The new poster still looks like Wicked to me, and I would be disappointed if it recreated the original exactly. The fan edit is fun, I like it, but I understand artists from current year who made the modern poster would want to make a statement different than artists from when the original came out.

    Everyone is making art, why do we have to be mad about that?

    The fluffiness of the animal is kind of irrelevant? Rats and pigeons are generally perceived as potential disease carriers, regardless if they are more likely than squirrels or doves to carry.

    • What color was the ball?
      Grey, I suppose? It wasn't important until this question so it was kind of colorless, even though I could picture it.

    • What gender was the person that pushed the ball?
      Androgynous.

    • What did they look like?
      Nondescript.

    • What size is the ball? Like a marble, or a baseball, or a basketball, or something else?
      A bit larger than a softball.

    • What about the table, what shape was it? What is it made of?
      It was a rectangular table. It shifted from being smooth and grey to a lightly finished maple, then back again.

    • Important question:
      I didn't really think about these details until asked.

    In all fairness, the article says the Nazi flag boat was hosed down when they tried to join the parade.

    It still says a lot that our political climate let them think this was okay, but the people at the rally were not okay with it, or at least weren't okay being that obvious.

  • So many years I convinced myself that I didn't have it bad enough to transition. I wasn't constantly depressed, only sometimes. Dysphoria didn't affect me daily, just weekly... Never mind the fact that any time I embraced who I was it made me so happy, or that being seen by others the way I wanted felt more real than any other recognition I'd received before. No, I didn't suffer enough, so I didn't deserve to rock the boat with my happiness. Folks, as cliche as it is, we aren't here forever. Life is too short to waste it lying to yourself and everyone around you.

    Are souls games really as hard as everyone says?

    They have a skill floor that you need to overcome, usually early on. Once you do that, the formula for the rest of the game follows suit.
    Bloodborne is my favorite souls game. If you find it too challenging, I'd recommend watching some let's plays which can have great advise. I don't typically watch his channel, but Jacksepticeye has a really informative playthrough. He's beaten the game so many times that he mostly just shows you the cheesy speed run methods for boss fights, however.

  • Found a Minimum Speed Limit sign in the middle of my town.

    30mph (48kmh) is the minimum, cars will also be going faster than that. Also, people need to cross the street, not just walk alongside it. Regardless, whether drivers or pedestrians are the issue, accidents happen. They are more likely to happen, and more likely to be fatal as vehicle speed increases.

    From the Institute for Road Safety Research, page 2:
    "According to an overview of recent studies (Rósen et al., 2011): at a collision speed of 20 km/h nearly all pedestrians survive a crash with a passenger car; about 90% survive at a collision speed of 40 km/h, at a collision speed of 80 km/h the number of survivors is less than 50%, and at a collision speed of 100 km/h only 10% of the pedestrians survive."

    Areas with minimum speeds of 30mph in areas with pedestrians accept that at least 1 in 10 will die. This is easily reduced to negligible fatalities by having lower speed limits. Not doing so says we care more about saving some of the drivers' time than the lives of pedestrians.

    Fear and Hunger is a contender. If you aren't aware, imagine a JRPG where you kill god at the end, but you don't ever level up. Also the first enemy you fight is very likely to kill you, and has just as much of a chance of doing so on your 100th playthrough. Oh, and you start from the beginning every time you die.

    Hello, title. I have been playing pf2e coming on 2 years now. Unfortunately, I have never enjoyed character creation or progression in this system. I like playing with my group, but would rather never again make a decision when it comes to character options. I am surprised because it seems like there are very few written resources or videos which just make a build with feats/spells chosen, retraining recommendations by level, etc. Any recommendations?

    [Requesting engagement from trans-feminine people on HRT] I don't yet know when I will begin hormone replacement therapy, but the anticipation leaves me prone to developing expectations I worry are unrealistic. Not sure how best to explain. My emotions, and sometimes my expression of those emotions, will feel masculine when heightened. Feeling intensely happy or angry about something even unrelated to my identity, those feelings give me dysphoria because of how masculine they seem. It's not that being happy or angry is inherently masculine, of course. The dysphoria comes from the emotion's manifestation *seeming* masculine. I don't know if this makes sense, but has anyone experienced something similar and/or seen changes to these sorts of things?

    Back on February 3rd, I came out to my wife. TLDR, she is amazing and I love her. We had just settled in with some cocoa for the night after getting the kiddo to sleep. We both knew yo get comfy, since we would be there a while. I told her very directly that I am a transgender woman, and shared some of how that has been exciting, terrifying, and depressing at times, still being in the closet. There were some tears, which she later told me were on my behalf because she had no idea how I had been hurting. She has persistently reminded me through gestures and words that she loves me, not just as a man she married 6 years ago, but as the person she has come to know. We are still in the process of talking through what next steps look like, but she has been incredibly open to change and has wanted to understand how I see myself and the world. She has always been a huge Harry Potter fan. This woman even asked me if it was still okay for her to like Harry Potter. She was ready to leave it behind for me. (Personally, consuming HP media doesn't bother me. Conversation for another time, I'm sure some here would disagree with me) I am so thankful for her. I also want to thank this community for encouraging me to get to this point. You girls rock ❤️

    Link to my first post. When we were sharing our new year's resolutions with each other earlier this month, I told her I want to he more true to myself, and more honest with her. I told her she deserves that, and that I love her. We have talked about having "a conversation" soon. For us, we understand this to mean at least 2-3 hours where we sit down intending to talk without being interrupted. Time has continued to get away from us as we are settling into being parents as well with a 2 month old. We have each made mentions of, "the conversation", and how we haven't forgotten, just haven't had the right moment yet. Girls, I am just so proud of myself for taking this step. Even though nothing has really happened yet, it feels like more has happened in the last month than in my entire life.

    Hey everyone, first time posting. Hoping there are others with similar experiences who can share insight, but at minimum I want to put my thoughts down. I [29MtF] am pre-everything, but have accepted I am trans for the last 4 years with the understanding I would never transition. Continuing to live as a man in spite of myself seemed realistic. My dysphoria was never really that bad, so even though the idea of being a woman was amazing, I could always push it aside easily and continue with my life. Sure, I would have bad days where dysphoria would get me down, thinking things like: "Why can't I look like *her*? Why does it have to be such a big deal if I want to transition? Why would so many people hate me for being who I want to be?" But as always, these times would come and go. I could grin and bear it, pressing on to another day. My wife of 6 years is fantastic. I love her more than the day we were married, and we have a child on the way. In the past, I have been open with her about my general preference towards femininity. While she accepts this and loves me for it, I have never properly told her I think of myself as transgender. She and I both come from a background where being trans is considered wrong, and I know she still thinks that even though we are both supporting and accepting of our LGBTQ+ friends. In the last year, one of my closest childhood friends told me he was gay. He and I regularly get drinks together, and mostly tell each other everything. When he came out to me, I told him I was trans. We have both been able to support each other, mostly as confidants while he deals with backlash from his family. I wish I could tell my wife as easily as I told my friend, but obviously that has more potential consequences. The more time passes with me accepting who I am inside, the more natural it becomes to think of myself that way. This unfortunately has made dysphoria a more frequent and intense experience. Additionally, there have been a handful of incredibly euphoric experiences I have had in the last year. My wife and I cosplayed a lesbian couple at a con this summer, which was the first time I dressed femme in public. Also, with my wife's pregnancy, I have been wearing some of her maternity clothes (shorts, sweatpants) around the house since those fit me surprisingly well. (Also justice for all of my hoodies she has claimed over the years) I know for certain that transitioning would sever ties with almost all of my family and friends. Further, my wife would have a difficult time deciding what our future together would look like, assuming it continued at all. Despite her open mindedness, our shared religious beliefs would ultimately inform the outcome. I wish it wasn't so hard to keep pretending. I'm just so tired.
