Once you hit a certain threshold of account age/edit count, you don’t have to go through the draft submission process, you can just add an article to mainspace. That said, unless you know what you’re doing with writing an article, it’ll probably get moved back to draftspace.

Taffer is a curse word in the Thief video games which I grew up on. I don’t even like laffy taffy that much.

What the other commenters said, but if there was drama it’d probably be due to the fact that deadmau5 used to be one of the biggest assholes in EDM. He might be nicer now, but back in the day I’d never heard of someone having a pleasant interaction with him.

It depends on the language tbh. Several languages on duolingo are decent ways to dip your toes in the water for language learning, I’ve heard good things about the Spanish, German, and Mandarin courses. But it’s really dependent on the language, I tried Duolingo’s Irish course and it was so bad that I’m still trying to unlearn a good amount of misinformation, really soured language learning for me even though I eventually got a good course elsewhere.

And also Baldurs Gate 3 for some reason

Is there something Irish folks have moved to instead of alcohol? Over in the states, more people are using marijuana instead. But according to folks I’ve talked to, weed isn’t super popular over there. English guy I chatted with said that stuff like coke and ecstasy is pretty common, but that’s England and I also feel like that might have just been him lol

I actually go by a different name now that has a different reason to it, but that’s the logic a lot of other friends stuck with, a username or game character they connect with. One of my best friends is named Ikora because of the Destiny character for instance.

Gonna do my best to avoid doxxing myself, but the name I go by now I chose for a few reasons:

• It’s a traditional Irish name, I’ve learned in the last couple years that I’m almost completely ethnically Irish.
• It’s fairly gender neutral at least by American standards, so it doesn’t necessarily out me as trans while I’m still pretty early in transitioning.
• I took it from an old folk song I grew up with, so there’s also personal history and ties to my family with it.

Ultimately everyone is gonna have their own reasons for the name they choose, but I’ve tried a couple names over the years to see which ones fit. Sometimes I’ve had ones that I felt a real connection to, but it felt all wrong to get called it. It’s one of those things that can be a journey while you transition.

Also speaking from personal experience, the trans folks I know are delighted to explain why they chose the name the did. It’s not impolite at all to ask, just so long as it’s not the very first thing you ask lol.

I feel like it’s probably pretty common for trans folks who spend a lot of time online. The internet was where we got to explore ourselves.

What does the G stand for tho? Edit: oh grandparent?

I understand what it means in context here, but what does GP stand for? Figure it’s not a typo of OP.

I’m trans and the name I chose is based off an old username of mine because I got more used to people calling me that.

Come to think of it a lot of my trans friends did something similar.

“A nuke is considered safe” was what made object classes make sense for me.

Was about to make a post of my own asking about this feature. Would be a really useful option to have, especially for viewing stuff by hexbear users for example, where I believe including pronouns is mandatory.

I understand why Harry Potter found a place in everyone’s hearts. But with the behavior of the author, the books are in hindsight a lot more mean spirited than I remembered. That hatred for me and my loved ones bled into the books quite a lot now that I can recognize it.

No that’s the Rubicon. Rubric is the guy who directed The Shining

Not necessarily. Nonbinary covers a broad range of gender identities that don’t all exclusively use they/them.

I didn’t think that was a real line until I started playing last month and of course that clown would be the one to say it.

Oh wow I remember loving their work when I was on Twitter. The atmosphere with all of their pieces are so cool and unique. Shame all of their work seems basically impossible to look at without making a Twitter account 😕
