^ I was literally looking up the various flags from the full acronym yesterday right before bedtime, and haven't as much as seen that one.

Tis the flag for demisexual. You can be any orientation and be demi. Alas I am a demi lesbian, thus a minority within a minority.

Right. I had the feeling I've been forgetting some group(s) in my Google image searches yesterday.

The comparison that I'm about to make will be very weird and also very subjective, but reading this is like eating grilled trout with only bread and topsy cheese as the side - good and enjoyable, but not so much compared to - depending on wether I'd just drop the pretense or continue the weird metaphor - some other yuri or some other trout recipes.

BV, you've always been a dab hand at the subjective analogies, but this one may make you the all-time "King of the Subjective Analogies That No One Else Understands in the Slightest But Which Give an Intriguing Glimpse Into an Alien But Not-Uninteresting Mental Landscape."

Time to go Google "topsy cheese" . . .

Lol thanks. As an aside, would you be interested in my favourite trout recipe?

Feck!
Guess it means we all have to revisit our anime backlog.
Also, YGO Sevens just started. This anime is cursed...

Government expected to indefinitely delay plans to make it easier for people to change their gender legally

I hate my government:

“Boris Johnson just doesn’t want that fight,” the source said. “We just won’t talk about it." The delay is not related to the coronavirus epidemic.

The "the reforms could make it easier for men to claim they are trans in order to gain access to female-only spaces." argument never really made sense to me. They often use it against trans people using toilets matching their gender. Like, do government really expect all men suddenly pretending to be trans and going into girls' lockers etc? Other than mentally ill, no respecting guy would pull that shit. Like, what would they even gain by it? The only 2 reasons I can think off is trying to pick up girls and harass/peek on them. First would immediately backfire as I can't imagine any girl wanting to date asshole like that and second, I assume you'd still need to officially change your gender and/or you'd need to actually stick to the act to pull it off, so good luck pretending to be a woman in work or wherever you want to do it, totally worth the hassle. Like sure, there will be cases of someone trying to exploit it, but that happens with everything and no law can stop it. As always, people using a incredibly small chance of something happening as argument to not change/change something, making infinitely bigger number of people suffer, because of some elusive bogeyman.

I didn't really have a nickname, so one day I just brainstormed it and decided on Nevri, because I liked how it sounded.

It's only 6 days into 2020, and I have a sneaking suspicion that maybe Nevri is right

I mean, I thought that Nevri could be right. But I didn't think that we would be living in a Plague Inc simulator.

I just wrote it as a quick joke. How the hell it actually turned out to be true...

I remember watching a video on Transphobia in the UK by British cis het left-wing dude Shaun, where he made an amazing analogy for how transphobic arguments work near the end of the 35-minutes-long video. The entire video is a great watch, but it's especially that part that's worth checking out. It's from somewhere around the 28:30 to somewhere around 30:00 marks, but I'd still recommend watching the whole video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91_5OOmK1TQ

I spent all my rolls on Ashley just to find out Homura is being released :(

Well I did manage to 3-slot Ashley in just 170 ish rolls so it's not too bad, but Homura is my favourite character

How do you people save up so many rolls??? Good grief lol

I don't understand why you had to mention he's cis and het. Saying he's left-wing is honestly only fine, because we're talking about politics. Also I saw that video already.

I was saving for Homura since some time. I was honestly considering rolling 1 copy of Ashley for memes, but then I realized 2 characters I'm interested in getting at least 2 slots and one of them I want to ideally 4 slot are released around the same time in june, so I can't really afford it. Also I knew it was 100% bait to force people to use up their saving for Homura. I didn't expect Homura immediately after her though. I thought we'll get her after chapter 9 finishes. I had enough tickets/gems for roughly 400 rolls saved, so I wasn't too caught by surprise. Still only managed to 3 slot her. Too many spooks. Now I'm desperately trying to reach 4th pity/hoping I'll drop her, whichever comes first.

Also if you want, you can follow me and I'll follow you back. Nick is Nevri (unsurprisingly).

I really can't tell you anything else other than refraining from rolling too much and getting all tickets/gems you can from events/dailies/stories. I only roll for limited girls and only ones I'm really interested in as well as I'm considering how much I really want her. Ideally you want at least 2 slots, since having 2 passive memorias is the most relevant gameplay wise, but Homura was one of those characters I wanted to 4 slot immediately.

I mentioned it mostly because, at least to my memory, he himself mentioned it in his video.

Eh, just normal.

I've gone tired of seeing the Timeline of Famana page on the Famana Wiki incomplete, so I took it upon myself to do it on a daily basis. I'm happy announce that, today, I've covered the years 453 - 494, thus completing the Urbaxan Golden Ages section of the timeline and starting the Old Legends section of the timeline. https://famana.fandom.com/wiki/Timeline_of_Famana

EDIT 1:
Today (7th April) I've done the years 495 - 600. With this, the timeline of Famana is almost, but not quite halfway towards being done.

EDIT 2:
Today (8th April) I've done years 601 - 673, completing not only the Old Legends section of the timeline, but also the The Great Crushdown section of the timeline, entering pretty deep into the Age of Feudalism section of the timeline.

EDIT 3:
Today (9th April) I've done years 674 - 732.

EDIT 4:
Today (10th April) I've done years 733 - 797, thus completeing the Age of Feudalism section of the timeline and entering the The Estali Spring section of the timeline.

EDIT 5:
Today (11th April) someone has done the years 798 - 853, though, due to some mistakes they've made, I had to edit some of them. Thus they completed the The Estali Spring section of the timeline. I continued further, up to the year 900, completing the Urbaxan Dark Age section of the timeline and entering the Age of Discovery part of the timeline.

EDIT 6:
Today (12th April) my colleague made the years 901 - 961, and I've corrected whatever mistakes they've made. They have completed both the Age of Discovery part of the timeline and the The Great Events of West Antebar section of the timeline, and entered well into the Age of Enlightenment part of the timeline. I added years 962 - 1054, thus completing the Age of Enlightenment, the Age of the Enlightenment and Connection, the The Eastern Spring, the The Eastern Spring + Industrial Revolution and the Industrial Revolution sections of the timeline.

EDIT 7:
Today (13th April) my colleague made the years 1054 - 1090, and I've corrected whatever mistakes they've made. They have completed the First World War / Great Estali War section of the timeline and entering well into the Rise of Ideologies part of the timeline. I added years 1091 - 1111, thus completing the Rise of Ideologies part of the timeline.

EDIT 8:
Today (14th April) my colleague made the years 1112 - 1120, and I've corrected whatever mistakes they've made. They have completed the Second World War / First Ideological War part of the timeline and entering the Era of Ideologies part of the timeline. I added years 1121 - 1147, thus completing the Era of Ideologies part of the timeline.

EDIT 9:
Today (15th April) I've done years 1148 - 1225, thus completing the Third World War / Second Ideological War part of the timeline and the Modern Famana part of the timeline.

EDIT 10:
Today (16th April) I've done years 1226 - 1252, thus completing the Fourth World War / "War of Peace" part of the timeline, the Fourth World War / "War of Peace" + Third Amatan-Yomtan War part of the timeline and the Famanan Sunset part of the timeline.

I found a cute manga (RAW) but I'm not sure where to discuss these finds, so here it is https://loveheaven.net/manga-edomae-elf-raw.html basically......... A miko finds herself with a hikikomori elf deity lo/ but she likes splatoon so that makes her great

Honkai is fecking depressing me. Also, new male dude plays like a VERY basic Nero so I have a mixed opinion on him...I need to check that skill tree more closely, maybe he has a devil bringer?
Durandal is badass, I just wish I they gave away her basic gear since a S rank version is coming soon anyway.

Arknights: Mfw I try a new strat on Annihilatio 3 and I get distracted at 399/400 T_T

Yeah...I'm already in...
Sara went on a date with Matsuri. It's hilarious how much of a bottom Matsuri is when she's supposed to be the "dangerous one".
Oh and I watched every Okayu x Korone vid at this point. OTP!

Ah Vtubers... I only got a bit invested recently, mostly Matsuri and Korone. So I actually know what you're talking about. Damn Matsuri is thirsty and awkward. Poor girl almost seems in the closet.
OkaKoro is just precioussness incarnate.

You could watch all of their streams for 1 year straight and still not be done with it. That's infinite hours of content, so you probably should stick to a handful you really care about and watch some translations on whatever tickles your fancy.

Gosh Tomoe was so thirsty during that entire stream. She literally wanted to end it 4 times so she can push Sukoya onto the bed behind them. lol

Does it count as crying if only a scant few droplets make it barely past the eyelashes?
