Anyone know how to add the avatar to the blizzard launcher? I cant figure it out & not sure why 1 person on my friends list has one???

you can edit your avatar from there

you could just use beta the entire time lol

You guys should have a party in New Zealand some time, we always miss out on gamer stuff! :P
Also I thought of a really cute battle pet idea
It's like a gryphon, but the front half is a small cute bird and the back half is a mouse with a little tuft on the tip of it's tail
I got the idea thinking about cute tiny gryphons, like a robin and a mouse, or a sparrow and a mouse!
And maybe one of the animations has it clutching something in it's cute little bird talons, holding it up like "look what I found!"
But it must be adorable
That's the #1 rule

To clarify, this was Discord's party, not ours. However, I highly doubt we'll have a party in New Zealand. The logistics would be extensive. You're welcome to find your way here though, next year if not this one. 😃

So I recently had a Windows 10 update and a large portion of everything isn't working anymore. I can't connect to WoW (but I can to battlenet,) I can't open up images and see them in my browser (but I can view them in Discord's preview) I can't connect to microsoft and update drivers, etc.
Anybody have any clue what's going on? It's really bugging me badly and just today WoW is no longer working
every single web connection I have is timing out. I can view google search results but I can't look inside any of the results to find my issue.
So, I'm literally stuck on Discord asking my questions in this chat and hoping somebody has any clue what's going on for me. I've tried flushing my DNS, changing it, reinstalling all my drivers, nothing has worked.

he's so underrated as a character

I wish he was Warchief instead but people would have a literal fit because 'prissy elves' shouldn't lead the Horde despite the fact that if one were to pay attention.... elves are fuckin savage. Kaldorei and Sin'dorei both.

how'd you get it back?
spring heath
None of my login shit was changed by the person/program/whatever, so I just logged in and changed all my stuff. I still get spam 'Blizzard alerts' on the email it was originally connected to but everything has stayed pretty secure since.
At the time I was a relatively regular name in Trade on my realm so I was asked a few questions about it when I got back on.

oh wow. tfw hackers put no effort into keeping the stolen account

Most likely the VPN/NIL is setup in such a way that just being online counts you as connected specifically to that one.

I mean I got the new hero so no complaints

You don't have to be the one with the VPN setup, they can have your connection come in and then go through theirs making it work.
valid venture
I dont know how that would happen
I dont think any wifi is strong enough to stretch from Ecuador to the northern United States
fierce sundial
That's not how WiFi works
When you connect to the internet, you're connected to anyone else that's connected to the internet. That's why it's called the World Wide Web, it's literally world wide.
You connect to a signal box or a router that then connects to a modem that then either sends a signal via satellite or sends the signal via fiber.
Either way, you're connected to everyone else on the internet when you're connected.

sleep should usually be in 90-minute increments
so 7.5 or 9 hours is about average
I'd say maybe check with your doctor

Does anyone have experience with SSRI treatment?
It's been suggested to me, and I only hear bad things about it, but it's the bad stories that people pass on, you know?
I'm wondering if there are any success stories with it
Or more bad ones I guess, just curious :x
young frigate
for sleep issues? or depression?
barren stone
Depression/panic disorder/OCD/anxiety disorder
young frigate
medication is recommended but expect a lot of trial and error to find the right prescription
there will be side effects, and they'll vary from drug to drug, as will the benefits. it's unfortunately very case-by-case.
young frigate
I'm just going to ignore that
spice goblet
Weed is legal in some states
young frigate
that doesn't make it a magic cure-all
spice goblet
obvs not but it helps a little
and doesn't have as rash a side effect
Literally nothing is a 'magic cure all'
young frigate
@barren stone side effects are common but usually settle after the first couple of weeks. your doctor will be able to advise you as to the best place to start in trying to find the right prescription.
spice goblet
And then there's other doctors who give you a prescription for an overdose of drugs without hesitation
And very few of them give cannabis prescriptions
young frigate
@Sikyx💕 speaking from personal experience, SSRIs have helped a lot to stabilise my mood and make daily life on a whole more manageable. and like I said, your doctor will be able to advise you on potential treatments.
barren stone
It was my psychologists who recommended it to me, I've been putting off treatment for about a year because of uncertainty
Thanks for the insight though
As for marijuana, @spice goblet, it isn't legal over here yet
young frigate
"if you can't make your own neurotransmitters, store-bought is fine" 😉
barren stone
Heh, I don't think it's an issue with my happyness part in the brain though, I think it's just my amygdala holding me back from experiencing fun things?
Like yesterday, it was the first time I got outside to the city in months, and I had a great time
I was happy, smiling, a bit overwhelmed by joy actually
But it's my fear that keeps me from doing fun things like that, staying indoors and feeling sad and lonely because I get too afraid to go outside
spice goblet
Oh damn, that sucks, @barren stone
barren stone
They did say SSRI would help anxiety though, but I guess I'm a bit worried about if I end up with too much happyness?
young frigate
I think what you're referring to is serotonin syndrome and trust me, you would know if you had it
the symptoms are pretty distinct iirc
barren stone
I'm not sure what that is
barren stone
Couldn't SSRI treatment cause this if I don't have an issue with them?
Because what it does is it builds them up yeah?
young frigate
i don't think it would raise it to dangerous levels, but it depends on the medication and the dosage
I'm afraid I can't be more specific because I only have experience taking SSRIs myself, and it's something which varies from person to person.
I can say I doubt your doctor would prescribe something to you if they had any reasonable concern of it inducing serotonin syndrome.
I need to go sleep now, but if you have any more questions or want more input feel free to drop me a PM and I'll get back to you when I can
unreal bluff
Lol serotonin syndrome. I don’t have to worry about that unless I actually have serotonin
barren stone
That's alright, thanks for all the help @young frigate !
I'll discuss it more with them next time I see them, as I forgot to mention to them that I'm quite happy/excited when I get outdoors. (Only recently moved psychologists, they're still getting to know me)

@fierce sundial What do you think about that source

I think they're wrong about the beauty being in the eye of the beholder being false.
There are several cases where people find someone beautiful and I think they're ugly
And probably vice versa
My thought of beauty has also changed with age

They also quite like an anthro fish which I find looks disgusting, but I'm not sure if art counts into this.
Some people think babies look ugly, I think they look adorable, it's common sense that we all like different things
spice goblet
@unreal bluff Same. Though i'm not demisexual, i'm not attracted to literally every "hot woman"
Thanks, @fresh osprey
barren stone
What is demisexual?
fresh osprey
no problem
barren stone
"attractive people exhibit more positive behaviors and traits than unattractive individuals." Also it's worth noting that these people do not source where they get their claims from, no studies are linked or anything.
That quote I linked is very far fetched to announce with confidence, having no studies or links to back up their claim. It seems like an idea some guy suggested they start a study on, but the study has yet to be done.
spice goblet
Well, apparently since it's the university of Texas, their opinions are thereby objective and anyone who disagrees with them are idiots

@barren stone
Demisexual is essentially an attraction to personality/the person themselves and not gender/sex/looks.
spice goblet
i know that, you know that, but an astoundingly stupid portion of people don't know that
barren stone
Thanks Wolf!
I thought that was pansexual though?
I admit I'm not up to date at all with these genders or sexuality names
I just say: "I like men mostly, but ladies I like too, just more inclined to men"
spring heath
Pansexual is similar but there is a difference, I suppose.
I don't know what my official 'label' would be, all I know is if I find you attractive then that's that.
barren stone
An interesting thing I've found, is that even if you don't initially find someone attractive, you can grow into it
spring heath
Indeed
barren stone
I find people become more attractive to me the longer I know them, and if anything sexual happens that boosts double
spring heath
Or if you initially find someone attractive, that too can fade.
fierce sundial
Late, but their study is accurate on an instinctual level, not a modern level.
Instinctually, humans all find the same things attractive. However in modern times, we've all gone our own paths and we find what our ancestors found attractive to a degree.
That's why the majority of men look for a large rear end and large breasts, those are a sign of good child birth.
spice goblet
Well, a lot of our ancestors found different people attractive than bigots would say
fierce sundial
Same with all animals.
spice goblet
Thereby proving a point made in the article wrong
fierce sundial
Of course, people will be found to be different levels of attractive.
But that's based on their facial structure and how much it matches what our instincts tell us to look for.
spice goblet
People can be non-binary in sexuality/ gender and not be attracted to someone who is "attractive"
that's really not how it works
or even, if someone is binary in sexuality/ gender, the above is true
fierce sundial
As I said, that how it is instinctually, but in modern times we don't follow our instincts.
timber crag
everyone is ugly the new instincts will be 2D anime girls that will be a sign of good waifu pat time

We've evolved past them to the point where people have their own versions of attraction.

If we rely on our instincts, as we did thousands of years ago, the article would be entirely correct.

i stay with dan cuz arsonite has a slenderman dead meme pfp
spice goblet
ffs
fierce sundial
There was a point where the human species all found the samee thing attractive.
Our instinct, like animals do today, would point us to find the same things attractive in order to assure mating.
Successful mating to be exact
spice goblet
people like those who are non-binary today, have existed for thousands of years. They're just coming out in modern times
fierce sundial
No, that's not at all true.

The main concern of the entire human species since it's creation has been reproduction.

That's how all species function on an instinctual level
Also, I don't think TeenVogue is a very reliable source, so please, do find more.

non-binary sexuality is anyone who isn't straight. Non-binary gender is anyone who isn't male/ female

Non-binary means you identify as a gender other than male and female.

fierce sundial
Sikyx, it's like the word gay. It used to mean happy, now it means you're intimate with someone of the same gender.
Now though, gender no longer means your sex, it's just what you think you are.
It's an identity.
barren stone
Ah

That's true but most of society would probably disagree
opaque basin
There... always was other genders, in cultures that are not occidental? It's not like.. a new thing?

in theory u could reproduce with extracted semen (there are a lot of semen banks) and a womb. Creating an artificial womb is the hard part https://www.google.de/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.theverge.com/platform/amp/2017/4/25/15421734/artificial-womb-fetus-biobag-uterus-lamb-sheep-birth-premie-preterm-infant&ved=0ahUKEwjtoMeJsYXXAhWCAsAKHVq3Ag0QFggcMAA&usg=AOvVaw3hWxEpv1MpUchl9qLQbzuL&cf=1

spice goblet
@fierce sundial A lot of animals that aren't human have also deviated from the sexual norm
barren stone
It's artificial incemination
opaque basin
And that's a little erasing of intersex people, I might say 😃
spice goblet
if "norm" can even be used in this context
fierce sundial
Arsonite, you're still going in the complete opposite direction of what I was saying.
spice goblet
you're saying that people have been straight+male/ female for thousands of years and are all of a sudden changing
even though coming out puts many of the LGBT community in danger
and there is actual scientific evidence of gender dysphoria
fierce sundial
No, what I'm saying is that on an instinctual level, literally, not even sentient, humans and all other animals only focus on reproduction. They're either male, or they're female, and they want to fuck. The whole thing that drives them from finding a suitable mate is appearance, their instincts guide them to survive because they didn't have any other way to think. Currently, in modern times as I said above, humans no longer listen to just our instincts. We're sentient to the point where we can make up our own lives and not depend on focusing on the highest chance to reproduce anymore.
spice goblet

opaque basin

fierce sundial
You do realise that sentience isn't a human only thing, right?
There are different levels of it, the primary being you don't depend on your instincs or primal urges.
spice goblet
Dan, if you could link your sources that'd be neat
barren stone
I do agree with Dan
Also the instincts didn't say everything followed it, only "typically", which makes room for those who are homosexual for example
Just like how not everyone has pigment in their skin, we typically do, however albinos exist
fierce sundial
http://theangryphilosopher.blogspot.com/2009/12/levels-of-sentience.html <- levels of sentience
http://public.wsu.edu/~taflinge/socsex.html <- for the urges to fuck
I use the primary source because sentience is relative.
There is no set definition for it, only the guidelines we set for it as a species
spring heath
Arsonite, there has been evidence of non-straight and non-monogamous partnerships for centuries. What CHANGED was the widespread wave of Puritanical views.
spice goblet
The first link doesn't have sources of it's own. The second link has a source that i can't access on this device
Wolfaelon, touche. But i still stand by my point. Non-straight, non-binary, non-monogamous sexualities, genders, partnerships have been around for longer than modern days
barren stone
I think you both agree on this, he was talking about very early days in our evolution
spring heath
I think I misread a previous message.
barren stone
And he was also saying that though we are drawn to follow a path instinctually, people do not follow their instincts much anymore.
An example on my behalf being women who do not want to have babies, we are made to have babies, it's our purpose (I believe), but some ladies and men do not want them anymore
spice goblet
like, when we were neanderthals?
It is not a woman's purpose to have babies, just as much as it is not a man's purpose to get a woman pregnant. "Purpose" is subjective and is usually referenced by people who are religious
fierce sundial
Now we're moving into the purpose of life
barren stone
I believe it is our purpose, we are designed to in my eyes, our vagina, womb to form them, breasts to feed them, arousal to create them, motherly instinct to nurture them, without babies we wouldn't exist. Though everyone has different opinions
fierce sundial
I need coffee if we're going down this rabbit hole
spice goblet
and now we're back to opinions
fierce sundial
This whole damn thing has been opinions on appearance
opaque basin
(It's me being fussy, but small correction : We were never neanderthals. Those are our cousins.)
spice goblet
Well, it was at first, then it was about gender/ sexuality differences from the average person's and now we're back to opinion again
ah. Thanks for correction, Inay
opaque basin
No problem
opaque basin
(Small correction bis: Our ancestor living at the same time as neanderthals couldn't be blonde/blue-eyed/white-skinned. Those are more recent genetic quirk. I said that because I dislike the trope of the fair blonde cro-magnon (early homo sapiens) and the savages neanderthals.)
We are, that is true, but they are not our ancestors.
fierce sundial
We don't know what we are with neanderthals. We just know at one point, one generation suddenly changed enough to qualify as humans.
fresh osprey
we do know that our ancestors most likely bred with neanderthals
this is commonly accepted by scientists
spice goblet
Humanoids have had many forms, one of which has been neanderthals
barren stone

Population from Europe blood have like.. 1% of genetic material coming from Neanderthals, if I remember correctly? Unsure of the number
fresh osprey
its 3% for most of the human species
more than we thought
which essentially confirmed the hypothesis, which is why it is generally accepted
fierce sundial
32,000 years of breeding dilutes it but not entirely 😄
opaque basin
But still, Europe only
fierce sundial
No
Not from Europe only
All humans contain genetic material from Neanderthals
That's why it's a 3% average
fierce sundial
Can you link me the article that's from?
That looks like it's talking about the species' range, not the DNA
barren stone
That looks like a neat design to send to a certain Dragon website

He did a bunch of other nasty stuff to my partner's mother for money, too, which is why they split up
