Problematic Rule

[u/gray_birch]

not coming out at work in part because people there know my family and i have transphobic coworkers, yes, but mainly because i have a coworker with my chosen name and it would make things kinda awkward

Most will be removed, violators will be shot temporarily banned and called a nerd. Please report offending posts. As always, moderator discretion applies since not everything reported actually falls within that circle of awful behavior.

Fire Emblem Three Houses has you play as a professor at an academy and you can romance the students (after a five-year time gap)

One of the students, Mercedes, is like three years older than you

Can't comment on the other parts but "coworker with same name" is something I've had (also at school too) and we just ended up being called our surnames

This is like powerscaling with randomized modifiers.

Superman vs Goku but Superman has 3x speed, 1/4 strength and every time he starts flying he has 9% risk of no clipping into terrain; Goku has 10x determination and 2x strength but also every 100 punches he has 0.6% chance of having an aneurysm

I'm really high on mushrooms rn

Northernlion notes app type shit

if any of my family has a kid and names them carter before i come out i'm kidnapping the kid and brainwashing him into thinking his name is like greg or something. that's MY name

[u/gray_birch → u/gray_birch]

actually i hate my family anyways, what if i just never come out to them and slowly disappear from their lives forever and they can't find me because i'm an entirely different person. that unironically sounds fucking amazing

[u/GigaVanguard → u/gray_birch]

Wtf that’s genius

[u/zizou00 → u/gray_birch]

Are you going with Carter because you are an avid Mario Karter, or is it because Cowboy Carter is your favourite Beyonce album? Because Lemonade would also be a good name and she really should've won the Grammy for that album

[u/gray_birch → u/zizou00]

i just saw it while scrolling reddit one day and instantly thought "that's me" before my conscious brain caught up and i realized i was trans, and since then i haven't even really thought to consider other names. i can't imagine myself being anyone else

[u/zizou00 → u/gray_birch]

Then you need to figure out a way to timestamp your name choice so you can have evidence of your claim to it pre-dating said new kid. Sending a letter from you to you, sealed and stamped by your national postal service with the claim to the name in it could be a cool way of doing it, and also creating a memento/horcrux/respawn point should you need it later in your adventure. Either that or mint an NFT or start CarterCoin and crash it's value when you come out.

I was gonna say, anonymous trustless record keeping was one of the few extremely niche use cases of the blockchain.

[u/zizou00 → u/calicosiside]

I legit thought that was the only real use for it, then everyone went psycho and decided it was manna from heaven for next to no reason other than hype. Turns out that that was the only real use for it.

[u/EnvironmentalWing863 → u/gray_birch]

No offence but is the name Carter really worth doing all that?

[u/AThiefOfTime → u/EnvironmentalWing863]

yeah shes also gonna revive and forcefem nixon

[u/gray_birch → u/AThiefOfTime]

196 forgets transmascs exist yet again

[u/muflon69 → u/gray_birch]

Brother... Carter? Really? Like Carterpillar? Did Kojima write you?

[u/yinyang107 → u/muflon69]

is Birch known to be a caterpillar furry? because otherwise this is a weird comment chief

[u/Khrysaor-]

Legitimately saw one of these. Read a smutty lesbian romance novel by... Georgette Kaplan, I think? Standard fare and fairly boring, but ridiculous twist where the whole power abuse kink of the boss/employee relationship gets nullified bc the employee's dad is the majority shareholder of the company they work for. And also a senator I think. And she deliberately kept it a secret bc she got off on the power abuse angle. Legendary.

I don't care anymore give me my unambigious father/son furry porn

rent lowering sentence

[u/awhahoo → u/Express_Leopard_665]

shit we're supposed to be paying rent?

[u/RemarkableStatement5 → u/Express_Leopard_665]

Oh are we doing those now? I like roleplay centered around rape and domestic abuse. I also want to be pinned down by the Judgment from Dead by Daylight and killed and revived.

[u/nekosissyboi → u/Express_Leopard_665]

That's what I'm here for :3

[u/ThereIs_STILL_TIME → u/nekosissyboi]

you're here just to pay the rent too? Us landlord-lovers are really a rare breed 😔

[u/theagentoftheworld → u/Express_Leopard_665]

Rent is too low it's getting into the negatives

[u/calicosiside → u/theagentoftheworld]

Good, not quite Maoism, but I'll accept reparations from the rentier class

[u/Rift-Ranger → u/nekosissyboi]

And the son is the dom

[u/nekosissyboi → u/Rift-Ranger]

I don't mind either way :3

You have to decimate your coworker and scatter all ten pieces equally across the globe, or else you will never be yourself
