Ooh, I appreciate any advice from a veteran best man speech listener.
If I could ask, have you ever seen anything similar to the scenario I presented? I suppose I'm mainly just feeling awkward in my role and wanting to tap into some experience that closer fits my situation.
Genuine sincerity is the large majority of what I have planned for the speech. However, he and the bride are already a little bit in defense mode, as their families include some transphobes.
It may not end up being the right call once I draft and edit the speech, but I'd like to try to do something to lighten the mood.
This is excellent advice, because I definitely don't want to make it about me. I realize how the wording of my post kinda implies that I do.
I suppose that I feel, given the circumstance, that I have to acknowledge it in some way. I think I'm just nervous about showing up in a traditionally male role, as a trans woman, in front of a bunch of rednecks, frankly.
Thank you for the words of wisdom!
Whole soundtrack is a banger. City Escape may be the best opening level ever. At the very least in terms of establishing tone.
So are they
"Fuck up the shape? Sure thing boss!"
Good point, I actually had a similar issue when opening a LibreOffice file in Word. I think that's more just the problem with having one standard for everything. That said, FOSS projects do need to work toward total compatibility with closed-source projects if they want to have a fighting chance of dominating the market. If LibreOffice really could just be a drag and drop replacement for MS Office, I don't think anyone would choose to use MSO.
Well that's just.... that's just plain nice. 🥲 Thank you, hope your day brings you much joy.
M..me?
Short term: Dishonored and Far Cry 3. I beat Dishonored in a day and then turned around and beat it again. I played Far Cry 3 for like 22 hours straight, took a nap, and then beat it.
Long term: New Vegas. The same problem with Dishonored, where it was so good I had to turn around and beat it again as soon as I got done. The problem being, there's hundreds of ways to play through New Vegas. So I put about 11 full playthroughs with all DLC in on the PS3 version. Essentially back to back to back.
Getting that mini turbo
Understood, thanks for laying it out so clearly!
