#it's not highly restrictive

[deer-with-a-stick]

I think someone should just throw all of the BG3 companions into Dungeon of the Mad Mage. Just take the post-canon generally considered "good" endings and throw em in there.

Why? Because it would be hilarious to me and also that's like the one official module that goes up to level 20.

I won't lie and say the only thing I can think of is the team trying to kill an angry mechanical purple worm while screeching at Gale because "what do you mean we're in Waterdeep and you know the bastard who owns this death trap?? I was perfectly alright in the damn Underdark thank you very much I did not sign up for this"

#my vampire companion has been dead for possibly over 200 years #and we would like to revive him please #sometimes i think of the fact that gale knows halaster blackcloak personally and cackle to myself #you know what's also a fun thing to think about #cleric capstone is basically you've got a deity speed-dial for your needs #to not mention true resurrection in GENERAL #or WISH #gale realizing that he's fairly close to the power level of a chosen of mystra now like :0 #karlach is probably like “HELL YEAH I CAN HIT MORE THINGS” while being extra stronk #i thought the idea of monster hunter ranger wyll or something along those lines was compelling so he gets to speed run his level ups #lae'zel angrily hacking away at enemies like “FUCKING DAMN IT I HAVE A REVOLUTION TO GET BACK TO GET OUT OF MY WAY” #tara mysteriously being utterly unhampered by the teleportation restrictions like “quite a kerfuffle you've found yourself in mr. dekarios” #halsin gets to live as a bear 24/7 with druid capstone #astarion would like to make sure his gaggle of vampire spawn don't kill anyone but also the promise of Stab and Feral are highly compelling #if minthara's here she's just vibing. blood guts and gore. her favorite. now stop wasting her time and let her kill you #someone should give lae'zel a gun even if so she can reenact that 200+ damage in one round event with percy de rolo #lae'zel deserves a gun #so does shadowheart and karlach #if i gave gale wyll and astarion a gun i think the recoil would kill them actually #str 8 gang lmfao #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #baldur's gate three #bg3 spoilers #gale of waterdeep #bg3 gale #astarion #bg3 wyll #wyll ravengard #karlach bg3

a**erall basically cures my executive disfunction but does NOT help my ability to stay focused or pay attention in any way so i have had to create a system where if i catch myself On The Phone (tm) after taking it i send a friend of mine the word "a**erall" as a Ritual (tm) to force me to Put The Phone Down (tm) and go back to cleaning but it makes my chat with him look like every weekend i break down and start begging for drugs

#i do drugs (tm) but this one is prescribed which is hilarious to me that they refused to prescribe to to me as an adhd kid during the Craze #wherein every third kid was prescribed stimulants but now that its a highly restricted drug im getting it prescribed no problem.

I love how everyone is debating on wether Hob or Rue is right when the answer is that they’re both right and wrong and the right solution to this debate already exists and it’s Binxs court..

#acofaf #i wasn’t gonna put this in the tag but actually I’m so right so it will go in the tags!!! #but like yeah #courts have a lot of culture and importance even outside of power #and it CAN help people (and ofc it would- otherwise the system would be entirely flawed instead of just mostly flawed) #but it’s also restricting and it highly looks down on people not on a high status #and like #it’s almost like we need a type of court that can allow for people to keep their culture and feel significant and important in a community #without also creating a hierarchy and instead letting everyone be equal #and like.. I wonder what court could possibly have that #and what courts could either join or adapt to that idea.. #it’s on the top of my tongue!!!

do you think vegans ever get tired of self-victimizing over an identity that they chose?

#it's mostly white vegans to be fair #hint: divorcing all humans from using any kind of animal products is not only unrealistic- #it's denying our over-10-thousand-year-old relationship with domestic animals #as well as indigenous cultures that rely on animals for their cultures #(these are not as separate as you might think!) #as a personal choice it's fine!! but people are going to be weird about it sometimes #that's normal when you have a vastly different diet than the rest of the culture you live in #i have a highly restrictive diet and i have to deal with people making stupid comments all the time. get over it #posting

Grabs union x and missing links by the shoulder and shakes. JUST MAKE AN MMORPG

#not khrpg #i feel like im uniquely positioned to say this #you have all these great setups for a multiplayer game! youve got the fanbase for it! Just Make A Keyblade Game #what you have done is make an mmo and its sequel. but As A Highly Restrictive Phone Game

2?

2. thoughts on veganism?

veganism as a diet choice is whatever who gives a shit capital-v Veganism as a movement/philosophy is ableist at best and actively harmful to the environment at worst

#I have a highly restricted diet and I've had more than enough run-ins with people who think chronic illness is cured with kale intake #ask #anon

For the last few days of pride month I'm filling the queue with my own recs! Today's is a short story, "How to Slaughter" by Shaelin Bishop. For a long time my absolute favorite of their work was difficult to recommend because it was behind a paywall, but this one came out in The Common recently and is both a new favorite and free to read right now!

#if u can track down Hold Me Under Til I See the Light i highly recommend but it's been restricted for a while

Since other people are posting cookies, who wants to see the ones I made yesterday?

They're pointy because dipping them in frosting was the best way to create a uniform surface without going through all the trouble of using those icing bag thingys.

Also the color is really weird, look:

It might be hard to see in this photo but the frosting is distinctly full of blue and white flecks. The reason for this seems to have something to do with adding almond milk to it (to make it thinner, I assume, but I was following a recipe so I cannot be blamed for the results), which I suspect combined weirdly with the vegan butter. (Yes I have vegans in my family and yes I feel weird mentioning it on the internet where people sometimes have strong opinions on that. Don't be a dick or I'll block you.)

So. Speckled frosting. Weird but maybe kinda cool? I'm already schemeing about ways to use this effect on purpose, assuming it's reproductible - I'm thinking it'd look cool with green, like evergreen trees with snow on them.

Anyways, that's more than anyone wanted to know about my adventures in baking.

#i haven't tried them yet but allegedly they should have a texture like those cheap tollhpuse sugar cookies everyone brought to parties in #elementary school. #i haven't had one of those in a decade and i miss them perhaps more than is reasonable #so when i found a gluten free recipe i jumped on it #if anyone wants a gf vegan sugar cookie recipe lemme know and I'll send it to you. i can also report back tomorrow on whether they're good #food tw #hylian rambles #gluten-free vegan #I've mentioned on this blog before how accustomed i am to cooking for people with dietary restrictions. this is a good example. #I'm more proud of that than is perhaps reasonable #but i also made low protein cookies yesterday and lemme tell you that is an ADVENTURE #(low protein is required for people with phenylketoneuria btw. it's a genetic condition where people can't process a certain amino acid.) #low protein cooking is also on my list of weird highly specific skills

I've been seeing a ton of people revisit The Biggest Loser and being like WHAT the actual fuck is this garbage and like yeah. Every time I see or hear stuff about it it gets worse, it's like I blocked it from my memory because the show always made me uncomfortable perhaps because it was the embodiment of diet culture lived out in reality and I've never had any feeling but hatred towards diet culture. Shit gives people so many body issues for no reason, and The Biggest Loser reveled in leering at fat bodies like some kind of fucked up modern freak show. Gives me the heebs AND the jeebs.

#winters ramblings #jillian micheals is SUCH a peice of shit. she treats people DISGUSTINGLY and someone should have told her to fuck off #or at LEAST began screaming at amd treating her like a contestant so we could at least derive some kind of joy out of watching HER #get screamed at all day every day i always felt bad for the people busting their asses #they didnt even TRY to teach anyone good food habits or fitness either they just made them do absurd exercise #no NORMAL person does every day. putting someone on a HIGHLY restrictive diet and forcing them to exercise all day #is NOT healthy that is an EATING DISORDER straight up #PLUS the contestants often gained the weight back sometimes PLUS more and it was found that they had a HARDER time losing weight #because the fucked diet of the show fucked their metabolism to hell so its even MORE impossible to lose weight #at ALL let alone long term. so fucked up this was on tv like LITERALLY modern freak show shit

[scuopsie]

Honestly I was expecting it to be upsetting and triggering but not to this extent like that's actually insane I don't even know how to react but I feel so sorry for him...

hoesntly the messages on their own weren't that upsetting (especially compared to some of the messed up things Kihyun says abt dieting) but what made it worse is that apparently a lot mbb were sending him tips abt how to 'fight the hunger' and stuff and praising him.... that's just messed up considering he did not need to lose weight period.

#im not sure what he really means by not eating carbs at all. like is he trying keto? #bc i did try that and i was never hungry. like I felt the fullest and most sustained when I was doing keto a few years back #bc if he's on a highly restrictive carb it probably means he's on a high protein diet...? idk #i just don't get why they should torture themselves like this #just use a facetune/slimming app... i feel like that's less destructive in comparison *skull emoji* #ask #joosgf

I saw your confusion about the scary children's movies, so I'm here to explain. Now, you may not find them scary, you may have lived them as a kid, or watched then at an age where they wouldn't affect you.

But that's not the case for a lot of people. For me, the movie Coraline really messed with me, because I watched it WAY too young. I had nightmares about the Other Mother, about sewing buttons into my eyes, about Wiley getting his mouth sewn shut-

I mean, think about it. Those things are really scary! Especially when you're, like. Five.

Hi! I’m sorry i didn’t mean to be a dick about it :-( im sorry if it came off like that :-(

tbf I may have a biased sample size. My sister and I had a lot of restrictions on what movies (and other visual media) we could watch, but we didn’t have any restrictions at all on the number and types of books we could read though. I wound up reading both the novel and the graphic novel of Coraline before I ever watched the movie, and at that point it was kind of old hat to me

I was more confused by the stuff like Spirited Away (always wished I was the main character) and Nightmare Before Christmas (we loved it so much we convinced our parents it was a halloween and a christmas movie so we could watch it twice a year!) and The Spiderwick Chronicles (i was outside for days after that one trying to find a Creature to look at).

I guess I do still refuse to watch any movies with dogs in them, though. I can’t even watch the previews for dog movies without crying

#so i guess if i'd ever watched it my vote would probably be all dogs go to heaven? but i have not and i never will watch it #funnily enough i'm more freaked out by coraline as an adult than i was as a kid #prob bc as a kid i didnt understand metaphors and was just fascinated by all the alternate world stuff #i'm also surprised watership down wasnt on that list tbh #that's the one most people go for #''rabbits getting viciously ripped apart and drowning in poison'' gets to people #anyways i looked back at my tags on that post and they *are* a wee bit aggressive #im so bad at tone im sorry 🙏 #there was a book called ''the cat that went to heaven'' that i read as a kid tho #that was just. SO upsetting #like its a good book its a nice book its happy but its also. happy in that sad way yk #highly recommend if you want to cry #im getting distracted #when i say ''no restrictions on reading material'' i *mean it* btw #i read Acheron by Sherrilyn Kenyon when i was like. twelve. #good book but it is the most rape and torture and misery filled book i've ever read #like goddamn #im off topic again sorry #mail #ih

Mrs. Rattenshaw: 'Tisn't much I've got to offer you, but such as it is, you're heartily welcome. Will it be poached eggs, now, and a bit of bacon, or fried ham, and potatoes in their jackets?

Maud: Oh, poached eggs I think, thank you; don't you papa? [Aside to him] I don't know what she means by potatoes in their jackets.

Lucy Whitehead, Granny (c.1890)

#100plays #granny #lucy whitehead #1890 #victorian theatre #theatre quotes #one of a multitude of single act plays published by Manchester based Abel Heywood & Sons in the second half of the 19th century #the later victorian era saw an explosive growth in work for the theatre as rail expansion and electric street lighting made theatres more #accessible to the masses and historical restrictions on licensing began to be relaxed. but the boom wasn't restricted to the theatres #themselves; printworks had advanced too‚ with mass publications now more easily (and cheaply) achieved. enter Abel Heywoods‚ who seized on #the market for producing scripts that could be enacted in the home (as parlour entertainments) or were suitable for amateur dramatics #groups to stage: the Heywood pamphlets all state clearly that no fee was required for any group wishing to stage a performance of one of #their licensed works‚ so long as any announcements‚ advertisements or programmes carried the name Abel Heywood and that of the specific #author of the piece. thus hundreds of one act plays‚ mainly farce or melodrama‚ sometimes anonymously published‚ and with such hair raising #titles as: Mrs. Tubbin's Cat; A Learned Woman (a farce...); The Lost Umbrella; Mixed Pickles; The Haunted Bedroom; and personal favourite #In Slippery Places. looking through the catalogue of titles (every Heywood pamphlet carried a long list of available plays) some common #themes appear. there are the temperance plays (a popular issue of social concern in the mid to late 1800s)‚ there are 'rural dialogues'‚ #multiple mentions of a 'screaming farce' and‚ regrettably‚ a good deal of highly offensive racist titles (presumably minstrel plays). #one positive‚ though‚ is the high number of female names attached to plays. whilst theatre was still a very difficult area for women to #break into as creators‚ the less competitive but high demand area of writing for mail order amateur dramatics proved a place where women #like Lucy Whitehead could be published and hopefully see their work performed. there isn't a great deal to Granny; a slight comic scene #in which one of a pair of star crossed lovers must disguise himself as an old lady (that english obsession with drag as comedy‚ apparently #it's always been popular) until an inevitable showdown with much silliness and shouting. Whitehead provides a comedy commoner #(another ancient theatre tradition) in the form of plain spoken Mrs Rattenshaw. I'll admit the line about jacket potatoes took me by #surprise; just one of those things‚ but the term is so familiar to me that it hadn't occurred to me that it would be alien to some. #a little digging hasn't provided much info on the original use of the phrase‚ but it would have been common enough in the UK by 1890 #when baked potatoes were in fact a very popular street food‚ sold by vendors across the country (10 tons a day in London per wiki!) #perhaps the joke here then is on fine lady Maud‚ a gentle dig at her posh upbringing but lack of worldliness? #perhaps. alas despite a lot of research I've found almost nothing out about Whitehead or the play‚ and only a single reference to its #having been published in 1890 (the Heywood pamphlets carry no details that can accurately date them‚ but 1890 certainly fits with the style

so it turns out remake is literally the worst game in the series

#going from easily the best entry so far to no contest not even close the worst as soon as i got to the aqua ring #absolutely insane dogshit design for something with highly restricted limited saves #and really bad jarring and unpleasant design for literally any game ever #this is like do you wanna be the guy levels of shit

CNN is facing a backlash from its own staff over editorial policies they say have led to a regurgitation of Israeli propaganda and the censoring of Palestinians perspectives in the network’s coverage of the war in Gaza.

Journalists in CNN newsrooms in the US and overseas say broadcasts have been skewed by management edicts and a story-approval process that has resulted in highly partial coverage of the Hamas massacre on 7 October and Israel’s retaliatory attack on Gaza.

“The majority of news since the war began, regardless of how accurate the initial reporting, has been skewed by a systemic and institutional bias within the network toward Israel,” said one CNN staffer. “Ultimately, CNN’s coverage of the Israel-Gaza war amounts to journalistic malpractice.”

According to accounts from six CNN staffers in multiple newsrooms, and more than a dozen internal memos and emails obtained by the Guardian, daily news decisions are shaped by a flow of directives from the CNN headquarters in Atlanta that have set strict guidelines on coverage.

They include tight restrictions on quoting Hamas and reporting other Palestinian perspectives while Israel government statements are taken at face value. In addition, every story on the conflict must be cleared by the Jerusalem bureau before broadcast or publication.

my job required me to do some corporate astrology and I didn't realize it until I got my "behavioral report" back and it might be bullshit but if it stops my boss yelling at me then I'm fine

#it told me I'm highly self critical and I'm like yeah I have five years of treatment for restriction to back that up I am aware #love taking three minutes for an algorithm to tell me that I'm ''verbally abusing'' myself
