So Luigi is a lefty? Who knew!

I kind of assumed that it came out in the casual conversation had at these places. Granted, I’m surprised that was something he told someone (if that’s the case), but I can imagine chatty circumstances where it’s mentioned.

Finally got around to reading this. Great piece! I’m from Miami, but didn’t know most of this stuff; we’re mostly taught about Henry Flagler — yay Florida education!

That regret can still come in with open book characters, though. If I’m roleplaying such a character, I (the player) will make choices based on the roleplay I have established for the character. The result is what it is, and might cause my character regret or angst. I don’t reload to make a “better” choice since that…

I was recently browsing the app store and stumbled upon fasting apps. These weren’t aimed at religious groups undergoing a ritual fast, like Ramadan that ended June 3, but body-conscious people. There were several, many of which also incorporate features to manage weight and calorie counting.

You don’t need to know in order to donate. They will do all sorts of tests, including type.

I’m sure this won’t be an issue for many, but I do want to note that you have to weigh at least 110 pounds.

Finally got around to reading this (I bookmark longer pieces to read later). It was enjoyable and interesting. The title and header pic pulled me in and I was not disappointed! Thank you!

they just haven’t met the right beer

I learned cursive in elementary school. At some point, it was no longer required, so I stopped using it and the skill fell away. Later on, my handwriting got worse over the years as I began to type more and write less. It’s definitely one of those “use it or lose it” skills.

I’m a woman. I’ve gotten to the point where I don’t care about a lot of that stuff in a gym situation while I’m in the middle of a workout. Now, I wouldn’t go full on crotch-digging in front of everyone, but if I have to make a boob/bra adjustment while I’m running on the treadmill I’ll just do it. Modesty is just…

 “I work too hard on my legs and ass to cover them up with baggy shorts past my knees”

I’ve read all of the comments (at the time of writing), and your post is the most full of “wtf?” (regarding the questions). Wow...

There internet is right here, full of people willing to share their story. If a person wants to know more about those topics in general, they can use this wondrous tool. There is no need to ask invasive questions of people in real life other than to be nosy, particularly if you’re not close with the parents.

Besides, do you really think game artists don’t use models or reference pics?

1 Agree with this, but for different reasons. If I’m pretty familiar with the actor, as I am with Keanu Reeves, seeing them in the game is a bit too uncanny valley for me; while it does look really great, they always look a bit off.

It’s a shortening for convenience, like e. coli or flu. The full name of the sugar that causes the issues for people is galactose-alpha-1,3-galactose.

I recently read a lengthy piece about this over on the Guardian. Considering some can’t even be around cooking meat without passing out from the smell, it sounds like a miserable condition (and of course very dangerous). One scientist (who loves to hike in the woods) even developed it while researching it!

Chris...no. Please don’t blame homophobia on people being secretly gay. This is a worn out old trope and it essentially blames gay people for our own problems. Love you, but no.

That particular piece, one of the more gory and realistic renditions of that story, is by Artemisia Gentileschi. She painted many empowered women, and her history shows why.
