Probably part of the run up to the announcement and release of Dragon Age: Dreadwolf. In any case, I'm happy to spread the word because a free version of Dragon Age: Origins in the same year DAI was released is how I found the franchise.

For the last several months I reduced my news intake and unfollowed a lot of stress-inducing accounts on social media. I have been happier and more relaxed. Can recommend.

Now add BIPOC to the mix.

You don't. You can do research on working in wildlife rehab, but you'll likely need special training, permits, and loads of vaccinations.

Why is 'funny' filled with people allowing their animals to be annoyed or even injured? It's not funny.

[–] ShinyBiscuit 1 points 11 months ago

This isn't funny. This is awful.

OK, nice photo, but DID YOU BOOP THE SNOOT?

Not true. Also, speaking up on behalf of others is not automatically equal to virtue signalling.

OK, but it's from Science Direct.

I'm sorry to hear you experienced that. I speak out when I see the R word in use like that. Most of the time I get laughed at, sneered at, downvoted, even kicked out of a gaming guild once. Many NT folks don't understand the harm that using a word like that does. I imagine, just like women who go to bat for patriarchy, there are ND folks who haven't figured it out, either. In any case, you're not alone. I'm glad you called it out, even if you were unable to get the name banned or changed. The act of speaking up still matters.

Invitation link? (I'm using Jerboa, so maybe something's been lost.)

Maybe they did, just not the right lesson.

Oh, I know. My point was that it's obviously a higher percentage than what is reported.

 

I joined Lemmy during the Reddit blackouts and exodus. My membership here is still showing as pending. I'm not sure what's going on. Was it an issue of my instance, Beehaw, defederating? (Something they did with a few servers to avoid trolls and hatemongering. They refederated with some instances once moderation looked to be on track.) Is there a glitch? Are mods still just plain overwhelmed? Not sure what I should be doing, if anything.

 

Been playing this for the last few years. Helped me get through lockdown!

It's been around for long enough that there is absolutely loads of content. I love that there are several different ways to play, too. I love housing and decorating, but there's casual questing, end game content, PVP, crafting... It's fun!

I don't know if we're permitted to post links that that here, so I won't. But if you go to the Epic Games store, it's free through 27 July.

Happy questing!
