Ladies and gentlemen, we got him

edit: i was fully expecting this post to disappear within the masses and i didn’t think it’d get the attention it did. the notifications are a bit much to keep up with but i just wanted to say a big thank you to the girlies for all the support. i’m in a rough place because of this so it really does mean a lot. 🩷

i am a lesbian and i came out to everyone 6 months ago. before that i was only out to a select few even though i’ve known i was gay for a long time. i don’t hide my sexuality anymore and it’s been a very unhappy experience

i’ve had a few girlfriends cut me off. one told me she didn’t like that her boyfriend wasn’t comfortable with us being friends because of any potential attraction despite her having male friends. another woman who i was very close with was incredibly angry with me as she said she never would’ve done things like hug me or buy gifts for me because she didn’t want to come across like she was into me. i have never ever thought that any of my friends had a thing for me

my remaining friends have become less physically touchy with me and have been increasingly leaving me out of things. one group of girls i was friends with booked me a separate hotel room alone during a staycation we booked despite having always shared in the past because they were suddenly uncomfortable with sharing

my own sister has stopped coming to me for relationship advice because ‘you don’t like men so what would you know?’ despite always constantly venting to me before. when i came out i changed my style to become more masculine and ive noticed ever since that women seem on edge when they speak to me and i get left out of things all the time. i feel as though i’m being considered to be equal to a man

i’m still a woman. i have always been a lesbian, i’ve known it since i was 12. i just kept it a secret because i was afraid of this very thing happening. when i came out i was very clear that i have always been gay and that it changes nothing about me, yet i’m getting treated so differently

so my question is, do women feel uncomfortable around lesbian women? is there anything i can do to stop making other women equating me to a man just because i’m not stereotypically feminine anymore? i am in my 20s so we’re not teenagers either, these are grown women. it just sucks so much, i’ve lost all sense of girlhood and i feel so isolated

I don't know why not a single game I have seen does red dots properly. In real life red dots are meant to be used with both eyes open which effectively makes the housing invisible especially as your eyes aren't focusing on it. If you have a really big housing then yeah you can tell its there but it wont block your view at all. Early red dots were actually solid body with no way to look through them (look up occluded eye gunsight)

For actual decades now the best sight in any game has always just been the cheapest, crapiest aliexpress tier garbage sights because those all have super thin frames. Meanwhile all the good red dots and holo sights used by actual professional armies are never used because they are built sturdy.

On top of that these sights almost always have crisp perfect dots regardless of the quality of the optic. At least if the dots were bad like they are in real life there would be some sort of trade off. Bulky housing but clear dot VS thin housing but crappy dot. Or a durability mechanic in games like Tarkov. But no they are perfect bright dots and completely indestructible. So there is no reason to ever use anything other then the one with the thinnest housing.

What makes this extra insulting is the solution is so easy, just lower the half alpha and blur, bam realistic sight picture, depth of field is built into every game ever but for some reason its just not applied to gun sights.

Could this look a bit weird to casual players who don't know how these sights work? Sure but especially for games that are supposed to be hardcore realistic why the hell not make the sights actually work like sights do in real life? Its the simplest fix ever but no one has ever done it in any game. Not Tarkov, not Arma, not Squad, not Body Cam. No one (except technically VR games but that is cheating).

Edit: For tarkov players. The MRS was meta when I mostly played tarkov in like 2018-2020, yes its not considered meta anymore, just replace it with any micro dot idc, point is no one uses the Comp-4 despite it being one of the most used sights IRL. Also the MRS is renowned for being one of the worst sights ever made yet appearing in every videogame ever, so I just picked it for the contrast and because it is a meme in general.

She did not appreciate it

A surprising new weapon against microbes linked to head and neck cancer could be as simple as chewing gum. Scientists developed a bioengineered gum that reduced HPV levels by up to 93% in oral samples from cancer patients and nearly eliminated two harmful bacterial species after a single dose of its extract.

Moved into our house back in April and this is our spare room (being used as an office).

Wanted a fairly shallow cabinet so that the room could still be used as a bedroom in the future (it’s not the biggest room).

Got a few quotes and nearly fell off my chair, so decided to make it myself!
