When everyone is too invested in everyone to the point where it’s clear they don’t have much life outside the polycule. When one member of the polycule is clearly in charge of it or is taking a significantly disproportionate amount of the time/energy/effort. When it’s clear that individual relationships within the polycule are expected to take a backseat to the group relationship. When there’s backstabbing, gossiping, or anything similar within the polycule. When metamours intrude on conflict between partners. I’m sure there’s more.

These types of polycule are unfortunately not super uncommon. Internet rationalists imo are the worst for it, but they’re by no means the only ones doing it. In general just watch out for relationships that look/feel more like a commune/cult than they’re upfront about being and make sure that if you do enter a more communal relationship dynamic that they’re keeping safeguards to make leaving accessible for anyone who wants to.

That comic is so old I remember seeing it before I transitioned. Glad to see it’s still going around

I wasn’t familiar with the term immersive Sim, but yeah, they’re a beloved genre and the only thing other than RPGs that I actually want out of AAA companies

He has to be careful to not get a feminine sword like a rapier or a khopesh

Yeah, fundamentally science and engineering are internationalist collaborative projects.

Or before tbh. Engineers and scientists were very capable of getting out when shit got bad for them. Compare that to the lawyers, doctors, and various other folks.

Freddie also liked women, though we don’t know his position on ones with fat bottoms

Oh they typically didn’t even include the copyright. That’s at least an asset and why would they include an asset

In part because they understand that investment works, but not why. I could be much poorer if I didn’t understand that the purpose of investment is to provide money to create value to get more money later. NFTs failed the “where does the money come from” test as well as the “why am I not too late to make a bunch of money” test.

Nobody’s out there offering guaranteed massive returns to everyone who invests. Legitimate safe investments don’t try to be exciting or induce fomo. They’re boring and reasonable because they can afford to be.

Fields of Mistria, so a quaint town where I’ve got a shot with a witch that’s very femme and domme coded. Hell yeah

I’ve got bad lungs and a dry herb vape was a game changer. I miss the taste of burning flower, but it’s not bad and it feels so much less rough. I’m off pot at the moment, but when I’m back to doing it, dry herb + edibles all the way.

And yeah fuck disposables.

Yeah, it was especially bad when it was pre-made like that. Every bar where I live sells energy drinks and they’ll mix it with booze for you. But you have to make that decision in the moment as opposed to buying 12 4lokos instead of beers and now every drink you have wires you up more.

As someone who has to wake up early most days I appreciate the ability to have an energy drink at a bar on a Friday night, but I’m sympathetic to the ban on alcoholic energy drinks

If anything it should be easier to kill a cigarette industry owned by the government, because the ones profiting are the ones paying the long term cost

So more the kind of horror that Gothic is (thinky horror) than the more visceral type? Because I actually love the more Gothic horror that’s more about making you sad than scared (like Frankenstein), I just hate the feeling of jumping at shadows after a scary movie/game

I hear good things about it, but am not particularly one for horror, still considering picking it up at some point though

Don’t knock, just accept that it’s locked and wait until I’m done fighting for my life in here. I don’t want to have to speak while at my most vulnerable

Yeah I’m seeing it fsr more as us mocking him from managing to have gender dysmorphia without even starting from dysphoria

Bread is like cooking there, I’ll just throw stuff in and try new stuff while baking bread

Nah we taught the aliens. That’s why they came

It’s also great for parties. It’s inoffensive, anyone who’s good for pizza can default to it. It’s often the only meatless option ordered (though I prefer something with as many veggies as I can get)
