I've played enough RPGs to know that if you encounter a god, it's for the express purpose of killing them, so you probably just need to bring a big sword.

Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.
Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very "off topic".

Moderator Guidelines
Moderator Guidelines
- Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

Chill, Kratos
FFXIV too. One of the dialog lines you can say in the later game (after having slain several dozen gods): "Know that I'll kill your God if I have to. Maybe even if I don't."
They call it "final" fantasy yet there are fourteen of them
Curious
Because the original was a last ditch effort to save the company.
there's more than 14 lol
Oh man if only that were part of the joke
do I need like a large net? or a pokeball?
Now I want Nintendo suing the pope for IP violations.
Godemon.
I'm thinking you'd use a Master Ball btw, does that sound right?
Depends on the colour scheme of the god. If it is cutesy and pink i might go for a hundred heal balls or love balls instead.
This is some "all lives matter" BS
Ikr? To be clear, my response to them was sarcasm
I CANT BELEIVE YOU DIDNT FIND GOD. HOW CAN ANYONE RESIST THE POWER OF ALL CAPS.
try a masterball instead.
you will honestly spend all your pokeballs needlessly.
Hear me out here...trying to find a therapist who has the exact same beliefs as you in all regards is setting yourself up to make no progress in therapy. A competent therapist would never impose their beliefs or identity on you. Yes, there are bad therapists who would do that, and yes, feeling comfortable and having good rapport with your therapist are important factors, and one could argue it's easier to feel comfortable with someone who's exactly like you in every way. But competent therapists are not going to discuss their political ideology or religious beliefs with you except as carefully indicated during the course of therapy for your treatment progress, and I would run the other way from any therapist who advertises politics or religion up front.
Secular isn't a religion. It just means they are neutral towards it, which honestly, every therapist should be that way. It's also a good thing to have a therapist that supports your identity. I have a lot of religious trauma related to me being queer and I would be very upset if I went to a therapist and they tried to convert me back to christianity and denied my queer identity. People do have problems where knowing their therapists beliefs would make them feel a lot safer and I don't think that would actually impede progress.
Plus, sometimes you don't want to teach your therapist about stuff. Like, hypothetically my current therapist would know what an ace polyamorous furry kinkster is; I wouldn't need to define any of those terms. This makes it much easier to talk about my friends and relationships without getting sidetracked.
Oh, and I've fired a physician that tried too hard to get me to talk to my mom, even after I pushed back. New physician was very understanding. I think queer folk are more likely to understand that relatives aren't always family.
Yeah, even my old one who was listed as being queer friendly I had to educate on trans issues and not saying things like "full women"
Oof.
I guess they were friendly in the same way a boisterous German shepherd puppy is friendly: means well, but not a good playmate for my tiny arthritic senior dog.
(He's snoring in my clean laundry and it's adorable.)
If you've been made to feel lesser by society, having trust issues is likely. Getting clear confirmation that someone isn't going to do that to you is a good thing, actually. It's the same reason explicitly safe spaces are a thing, because the default is to be uncertain. And trust is super important for therapy.
No if you find God what you really need is 2 minutes and someone to ring the bell.
This just feels like stealth advertising
I haven't even mentioned my discount for Lemmy users tho
look at what straight ppl did to matthew shepard. heck yea i'm straightphobic.
