Others have already said it but it’s really worth reiterating that false accusations aren’t always actually false. Victims of rape and sexual assault are often treated horribly by police/medical staff. Like, the mental fortitude one has to have to bring a rape accusation to court is immense. While I have heard dozens of stories of rape from friends, not a single friend has gone so far as to prosecute their rapist. Those that did go so far as to have a rape kit taken at a hospital were so upset by the experience (even if the nurse was sympathetic, it’s quite a cold and cruel kind of examination, and you have to go soon after being raped, when most victims want to shower/hide from the world/be comforted) that they didn’t go any further.

Good luck! I moved state earlier this year and in some ways it was tougher than when I moved countries! Trying to get my car’s new license plate was a real headache. I learned very quickly that the various state governments do not communicate whatsoever.

I have a fondness for Greek/Russian and mythological names. Alexander (always my favorite), Nikolai (my son’s name), Mikhail, Artemis, Persephone (surprisingly popular these days! I know more than one, usually use Sephie as a nickname, which is cute), Calliope, Guinevere (what my son would’ve been had he been a girl), Dmitri, etc.

It also gives voters little reason to vote in states where they feel their vote is wasted. I wonder if doing away with the EC would be encourage more people to vote?

Thank you! I can definitely see your points. I have to admit that no. 1 doesn’t bother me quite so much as I have limited time in which to really sit back and explore, but if I was playing on the Switch (which I get more time with) I’d definitely be disappointed. And I hadn’t realize that the moving in combat ruins the cinematic camera angles, so I’ll have it turn it off and see! You’re also very right about jumping - it’s frustrating how limited it is.

I’m 25 hrs into DQ11 and I’m loving it. Actually the first time I’ve bothered to play anything on the PS4 (couldn’t wait for the Switch version!). I’d be curious to know of your complaints, @Slumber The only real complaint I have so far is how awfully repetitive the music is. There’s so few tracks! Sylvando is the standout character by far. Not only are the puns still great (and did you notice the Cobblestone inhabitants all have geology related names?) but the Hotto residents’ haikus and the mermaids’ rhyming couplets are really well done!

How did the ultrasound go, @Shoblongoo?

Happy Birthday to Our Internet Mom, Rezzy!

Happy birthday! I hope you had a great day. :) -
This 'advice' is literally an abusive tactic. It switches the blame from the people who actually vote for those policies to the people who speak up against them. It's equivalent to Trump blaming Democrats for the imprisoned children because they're not funding the wall. Or an abusive parent blaming their having to beat the kids on the other parent not cooperating. It's like telling people that they can't call out racism or sexism because then you're calling the person racist or sexist (which has been an argument in this thread before!). And it moves the goalposts and obfuscates; things at which the Republican party excels. The Democratic party has been so weak and ineffectual in part because of how subservient and compromising it's been acting.

YAAAYYYYYYY!!! I'm so happy for you! Congratulations!

Aw, Est is so cute - and when did she grow so big?!

The best tip I have for physical organization is to assign everything a place and keep it there. Stay on top of it all by picking up every day. Labels and lists can also really help. It can be cheap - bankers boxes and a thick sharpie are my go-tos a lot of the time. I haven’t had time for filing papers in years but at least I know which box to look in if I need to find something - which narrows it down a lot! As for maintaining a calendar, choose something you’ll use. A lot of people love planners but my planners always went unused; however, setting up alerts on my phone works for me as I’m always checking my phone.

Michelle Wolf did not criticize Sanders' appearance, really. Cosmopolitan, of all places, had one of the most measured and reasonable responses to Wolf's comments. The defense of Sanders by much of the media was bizarre and disappointing.

Okay. I did complete a no-grind Hard Classic playthrough of Conquest, but with a lot of tears/swearing.

I actually really strongly dislike Akira Toriyama's art but it's somehow okay in the actual games. The monsters are even cute!

Why Do You Europeans Do D/M/Y instead of M/D/Y

Countries that use m/d/y = magenta Countries that use d/m/y = cyan (Yellow = y/m/d, the other colours are a combination of two)

I’m 3 years older than my husband, we’ve been together since he was 19 and I was 22 (albeit nearly 20 and nearly 23).

1. What’s your opinion on RonxHermione? 2. Favourite HP movie and book? 3. Into what houses would you place your kids, and why? 4. Have you ever ridden on a steam train? 5. What magical discipline would you excel at? -
It really is! One of my fave series, and the only games to really produce an emotional response in me. The only time I ever cried over a game was over a DQ game.

There are plenty of people who aren’t clingy in that matter! Good communication is a lot rarer, in my experience (and hearing from others). It’s definitely key, though. Sitting down to talk is tough for people even when they acknowledge it’s the best thing to do. It’s even harder if you come from any background with constant conflicts. I actually still talk to my husband via text a lot, because my mouth often literally won’t form the right words face-to-face. However, bringing up matters via text then chatting about it once we’ve both had a chance to digest the texts has been working well, so I don’t really think there’s an issue with it.

Just... wow. That’s pretty incredible, my hat is off to you.

I could play it on something other than the Switch, but I really really want this on the Switch. I’m going to hold out as long as possible for the Switch version although I’m also really eager to play this game, so...

Two is such a great age. Still totally adorable at that age. My son just turned 3 and I’m a little sad he’s leaving toddlerhood behind.

@Shoblongoo I’m sorry, that has to be so hard! I hope the cysts manage to shrink on their own.

I posted in here, too though granted I have quite a few pages to catch up on
