Assuming you're talking about leggings in the form of stretchy, form fitting pants, I would recommend going to a second hand clothing store and just picking out a bunch. Pick different sizes, different brands, different colors, and then try them on at home. A lot of second hand stores allow returns for clothing within a certain time frame and you will pay much less than you would for new ones, plus have a greater variety of brands to try on. Most department stores might have 3-5 different brands if that, some second hand stores will have a dozen or more. See what is comfortable and what you feel good in.

If you're thinking of tights or the sheer or semi-sheer layer you wear under a skirt you'll need to buy them new, and just get a size up from whatever size you think you might be. They are always too small!

    Last new content I was able to play in GW2 was the beginning of the astral place with the pretty floating sky palaces. I haven't had much time to sink, didn't even get a Halloween achievement skin this year 😫 I like Wintersday so I'll need to make sure I set some time aside for bell choir. Tough to do new content sometimes

    I have more hours than I'd like to admit to myself logged in Guild Wars 1 and 2, and haven't booted 1 in years. This is exciting, looking forward to a reason to dust off my old characters.

    I don't recommend spray foam for a number of reasons, a few being that it offgasses VOCs after installation and can obscure or make future access to repairing surfaces impossible. If, for instance, water in your bathroom seeps into your subfloor, that repair becomes suddenly infinitely more complex if you have to fight through spray foam.

    I highly recommend mineral wool batts, even if you do thin ones. They can be cut with a thrift store bread knife/any serrated knife and friction fit between the joists. Very easy install for an amateur, very forgiving. Save the spray foam for those tricky gaps next to doors and windows.

    We bought ours from a local contractor supply store, and it was cheaper than Orange or Blue store and they delivered for free. Not sure where you're at but search around.

    But ultimately what we still see is that "girly games" are much less respected and women are harassed in online and competitive games, as well as we're less respected when we speak on topics of gaming than men. This is especially the case in "gamer" spheres which still maintain a pretty hard-core misogyny problem.

    This exactly. As if clicking heads for 100 hours makes you more of a gamer than playing the Sims for 100 hours. As if having guns and gore effects makes a game a "real" game, and no other type of game "counts".

    I have been hearing about this game and I think it's worth celebrating because:

    A) It was made as a labor of love, spearheaded by a dev who wanted his wife with health issues to be able to make dresses again
    B) it was made on a shoestring budget by a small team of devs (non-corpo)
    C) It is staunchly anti-AI in its assets and code
    D) Its assets are hand drawn with original foley and music composed for the game

    Honestly the fact that its geared towards women is one of the less interesting things about it. I'm so happy for them and wish them every success.

    Some women do, and making it sound belittling or something worth mocking only serves to continue the narrative that feminine things are lesser and unworthy. Women can rain hell on imperialist scum and make dresses.

    I get that a lot of people are hostile to tarot, and the mysticism and hooie around it are definitely something to be guarded against.

    However, genuinely, it can be a very useful tool for thinking about your current situation, and planning strategies for future action. It can be a very helpful step to add to making a difficult decision and sometimes the random aspect can reveal your own biases or make you rethink conclusions you've made. It's not going to work for divination, there's nothing that can predict the future, but it can help you learn some things about yourself.

    Obviously, therapy would be better, but to start I recommend reading the companion book that comes with most tarot card sets front to back, and also deciding what those cards mean to you and how you want to interpret them. Then, do readings for yourself until you're comfortable, then your friends, and finally strangers. You would be offering a third party perspective and helping them through the same decision making process you do for yourself. Again, anyone saying it will help tell the future is selling you bullshit, but sometimes people need a neutral third party to bounce a difficult to chew conundrum off of for twenty minutes and that is worth something.
