Dunno where that picture is from, it makes it look much more like a human construction, here's a more recent pic. If you want to learn more about this rock wall, here's a link.

TL;DR It's sandstone that fractured (something sandstone does all the time) but happened to fracture into a pattern that looks like stacked stones. This apparently happens a lot to rock that is underground and while there were legends of arches and hallways and even "metal tools" there is no actual evidence to say those existed and the "metal tools" where simply iron deposit in the earth which happens all the time.

Well, those of us that are trans got higher suicide rates.

It's not just the queer youth that are calling the hotlines too. Particularly the trans hotline is apparently packed. I've almost called it myself a couple times already. The country showed it doesn't care about us and is literally willing to sacrifice us to maybe get cheaper eggs (even though it won't), of course a shit ton of us want to take ourselves out, it feels better than dying in a camp.

Did she run on some right talking points on immigration that were shitty to run on and should have been cast out? Yeah absolutely. Did she run to Trumps right on Immigration? Fuck no. She never advocated for mass deportations and if she was running to the right of Trump she would have.

The article makes good points, but that headline is trash.

"Aqun-athlok" means one who was born one gender and is now living as another. So yeah that means trans. But there's also a conversation in the trans community about if Non-Binary is technically trans. I would argue it is but some disagree and others say that while Non-binary is trans it is not a "normal" type of trans. That Non-Binary is not either gender. Sometimes Non-Binary is literally no gender. Non-Binary is it's own umbrella term. So it's not necessarily living as "another" gender, it can be living in between genders, without gender, or as both genders.

So i would say that "Aqun-athlok" is probably more applicable as binary trans as it was used to refer to krem who was a trans man. Now they could have just thought up a new word for Non-binary trans but Non-Binary is just kinda the perfect word for it. I'm Non-Binary and I actually think saying this is immersion breaking is just kinda bs. Plenty of words in our world also exist in Dragon Age. Not everything has to have a different word. For instance, Dwarves are a thing in our world. Sure they're not the same, it's a medical term, but they still exist. But the Dwarves in Dragon Age are still called Dwarves. Why are they not a different name? It's a fantasy world, shouldn't they have made up a new word instead of using a word from our world to describe these people? No, because Dwarves is just the word that fits best. Non-Binary here is the same.

Now whether or not it is written well is a better approach to this discussion but also, every trans person has experienced the exact thing that this writer describes, except it's not always pushups. I've had people feel incredibly guilty over misgendering me and done some stupid stuff. When I hear this being described I don't think it's awkwardly written, I think it's an accurate representation of what it can be like being trans and how some people will just be like that when they misgender you.

I also think calling it "preachy" is 100% playing into the narrative it's Woke because people don't call CoD preachy even though it's filled with pro military propaganda. Why is this preachy just because it accurately shows an experience that trans people have all experienced in our own lives?

I haven't gotten to this place yet in the game and I might end up finding it awkward, but I more likely expect to actually relate to Taash more because of it.

Anyway, just my thoughts from a trans dragon age fan.

Yes

Dude this is a lot of work to go into just a Political ad. I wish I knew how big the team was that made this because they all deserve a part of that money the campaign spent to make this. I'm not a fan of Fortnite but this is still pretty crazy.

This is such a nuts clip. The dude is a piece of shit, immediately realizing he fucked up then saying "well I thought he said he supports Hamas" even though Medhi didn't even mention Hamas.

They're getting so close to slaping swastikas on their arms, this guy realized immediately that he can't quite put the arm band on yet. But he desperately desperately wants to.

Fuck this guy. Medhi Hasan is an amazing journalist and he doesn't deserve this shit.

"Listen, bigotry is sad and shameful. I don't agree trans people should be made illegal. But taxes and immigrants..."

Enjoy the clip where Harris makes the completely accurate comment that "being a part of the role model club means sometimes being the only one in the room that's had the experiences you've had"? The clip where she is just making an honest comment? The clip that you framed as her crying and being narcissistic? That clip?

Sure I'll enjoy that clip since it shows she's human. But as a reminder, this is not a community where you post an article and then say "just ignore the article and enjoy the clip"

What the fuck is this article? At the top it uses a roughly 30 second clip of Harris from a talk she did as California AG in 2016. Which is a clip where she talks about being a role model. But the article also claims she was crying while praising herself? She was not crying, she was literally laughing about how tough it can be to be a person who has been the first to a lot of things going like "its tough. Its tough."

They literally introduce this article as

In this video, we analyze Vice President Kamala Harris’s recent speech at a women’s event. While her achievements are significant, many felt the focus was excessively on herself.

But for the life of me I can't find what women's event this article is talking about where she only talked about herself. Everything I've found is her talking about abortion and sure her being the first woman vp might come up but she never gushes about it like this article claims.

Im also fairly sure this is a porn site that also posts other things but I went to the home page and saw multiple porn videos. And the person who posted this article on the site has also posted porn articles.

I would argue that this should be removed because it is just not a real article with any actual reference to the supposed women's event and uses a clip at the top that is from 2016 and frames it as if its from this month and is mostly a link to a porn site.
