Hey girl!

You probably already know this since you’ve been looking for it, but just to save you some headaches searching in case you’ve gotten the terms mixed up–you’re probably looking for tucking underwear! Packing is for the opposite effect!

Voyager 2 is programmed to reset its orientation multiple times each year to keep its antenna pointing at Earth. The next reset is due on 15 October, which Nasa says “should enable communication to resume”.

You uh… you do see the irony of this post, right?

Especially considering the portmanteau you’ve used in the title contains a slur.

I love using magic items in place of house rules. It makes it easier for everyone when “house rules” are explicitly spelled out in an item description, and helps prevent players from being confused or surprised about which rules do and do not get enforced and in which way.

To contribute my own D&D 5e specific example: I like to have enchanted weapons that each have access to one or two battlemaster maneuvers per short rest. e.g. Quarterstaff of Tripping (trip attack) or Commander’s Longsword (Commander’s Strike). To keep it simple, I use the weapon’s damage die as the superiority die.

I don’t want to know where it is, just if it exists and if it’s missable in a particular act:

Is there a cowboy hat in this game, and can I miss it by progressing too far?

No additional details please! Thanks!

The headline is a straight up lie. As per the article itself, it was conceived of in 1966 and experimentally confirmed in 2020.

“Offended” is a bit of a strong word.

Many trans folks are, understandably, bummed out when gendered terms that refer to their AGAB are used to refer to them.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with trying to avoid causing that brief moment of dysphoria. That just feels like a thoughtful and kind thing to do.

That’s great, and it’s nice that you don’t have to deal with that jolt of dysphoria in those situations.

I’m simply saying that it’s also common (and okay) to not be entirely comfortable with those terms. Especially from strangers or acquaintances.

I don’t think seeking to reduce the linguistic pattern of male as the default is a misguided effort.
