As many of you know, Nick is my partner! We've known each other for nearly 10 years and he's always been my rock, both as a friend and a boyfriend. I can say in full confidence that I would not be able to do what I do now without his support. He's also an extremely hard worker and had to brave the covid frontlines all throughout 2020-2022 while working in the medical field (not as a doctor - otherwise he probably wouldn't need to be making this fund!). Ideally, USA's medical system would now pay back in providing him with what he needs, but naturally that isn't how things work.

Anyways, I'm just here to confirm his Cool Guy Status, and to say that yes - though Nick prefers to keep his business private - the procedure in question is something that would vastly improve his quality of life and comfort. If you have the means to donate, that would be hugely appreciated.

Did any of the companions ever hear what Astarion and DU got up to at night or did they always do it away from camp

They did it away from camp, and by "it" I mean this and not much else.

Honestly after years of watching Ben Shapiro play the genuine good faith debater so his fans can talk about how smart and reasonable and fair he is before going back to his real persona on his show, it is amazing to see someone tear that shit apart while he could do nothing but grin and take it. He comes into these “debates” pretending to be nice and respectful while not truly respecting a single person he’s talking to, sneaking in insults whenever he can, and fully planning to laugh behind their backs for being so dumb as to think their opinions matter, and people have to take it because otherwise they look like the unreasonable ones. It’s all a con for his outrage grift machine, and not a single word of it is in good faith.

So this guy decided to take one for the team and give back overtly the same disrespect Shapiro was dealing covertly. He flipped the chair around to throw him off his game to start (getting Shapiro to praise his masculinity right before revealing he was trans), ripped apart his charade, gish galloped him into silence, and then topped the whole thing off by faking the handshake that Shapiro had been doing insincerely with every participant. All while Shapiro, because he has to play the role, can’t do a thing about it. Don’t know if he just saw one thing too many and pulled this all off the top of his head, or if he planned to make a fool of Shapiro from the jump and was just waiting for the right moment, but either way go off king.

This is a sincerely important video. He came in knowing EXACTLY how Shapiro plays the game and turned the whole thing on his head. The only way Shapiro could possibly look- not GOOD, certainly, but at least not WORSE- was to sit there and take it. Check fucking mate, THAT is hoe you outmaneuver a fucker. Hell fucking yeah

[vaspider]

The thing that gets me about it is that I think you can tell that Ben Shapiro had never met a passing trans man who he knew was a trans man before. He probably has never met a passing trans person who he later found out is trans before, but he definitely had never met a passing* trans dude.

And it fucking broke his brain to realize that there are not just trans people out there where he can't tell, but specifically trans men. You can see it on his face that he thought he was facing off against a cis white dude, and when he finds out this guy is trans, watch his face change. That shit just breaks his entire bullshit sexist & transphobic worldview.

It really, really fucked with his world view to realize that, no, he can't always tell, and some of the guys he sees just walking around? Might be trans.

*Passing politics suck, y'all. The point I'm making here is about the satisfaction of watching a bigot experience the disintegration of his personal "We Can Always Tell" in real time. I'm not saying everybody can or even should try to pass. Don't do some weird "piss on the poor" thing with this.

It's a huge shame I missed her because he would have LOVED a pet that talks shit back

my main criticism for Baldurs Gate 3 is that you can’t keep wreaking havoc if you accidentally polymorph into a cat

Tav: Well, the good news is we made it. The bad news is I have no idea where we are or how we're going to survive the next few days, let alone get these tadpoles out of our heads. Any ideas, buddy?

Durge, having their third dissociative episode in the hour, staring with concerning fixation at a random corpse on the beach: I crave bloodshed, brother.

Tav: ...

Tav: How about we try to find some other survivors. I don't think I should be alone with you.

baldur's gate 3 is just. break the abuse and trauma cycle. being forced to believe a certain way is wrong. there is more outside of the small window that i perceived the world to be. i will create my own identity. maybe the people i thought loved me did not, in fact, have my best interests at heart. i need to find the clown's body parts so the drag queen can resurrect him. my destiny is not written in stone.

I’m only here to help the mages and start a romance with Anders (again). nothing more

Welp, this game has unexpectedly taken over and lives in my head rent free to the point it actually jump started the will to art lmao.

Baldur's Gate 3 PSA:

Throw the healing potion on the ground next to your companions.

Do not throw them at your companions.
