Pretty much how I got off the drinks too, albeit a much faster change. Went from drunk every day to hardly ever drink in the space of about a month, and yeah, no real reason besides just not feeling like drinking anymore.

Yeah. I say it didnt "blow up". Truthfully. I was only at a level of addiction where, when it was starting to get bad, I could pull back enough to keep my life together, then pick it back up. But this is the first time I've gone cold turkey on it.

And now I realize, I DO know the initial reason I stopped: Money. Been trying to save it. But I am realizing now stopping drinking has actually been a bigger change for me than saving money has been, even though that was the cause.

Correction, I dont wanna say I "was" addicted. I *am* addicted, I still want to smoke weed and drink regularly.

It was opposite of the poll for me. I grew up in a secular household where we did NOT talk about church or God, essentially agnostic. I became (I considered myself) a staunch atheist in high school and college. Then I became a believer in God at age 25.

I said the story doesn't say he MADE them evil ash. That was your claim.

Brother, don't get into the weeds on here. Arguing will never make a difference. We don't have to defend our belief. When someone asks me questions like these, my answer is always "God is good." That's what I have faith in, that He is good. I may not understand everything in the bible, but I know He's good.

Idk, MAYBE I had a month or two in my college days, 18 - 21. But for the most part I remember toking on the weekends or at least drinking regularly since I was 17. Smoked weed for over a decade straight. WHen I quit that last year, I substituted it with alchohol.

Then a month ago, I just didnt feel like drinking. It wasnt really something I was thinking to make an effort about. Now I have gotten the urge every few days, and I'm not actively making an effort to not drink, but it's kind of fun game to see how long I can go completely sober.

So, idk, this isnt some dramatic thing where it got really bad and blew up where I had to make a change. More just like.... it was a steady element in my life where the urge very suddenly went away. I would say I was addicted, but I wasnt drinking EVERY night.

right wingers have been getting rarer for years now on here because someone finally decided to clean that shit up and ban them, thats the only real change. there is no real increase in leftist stuff though, if anything its been moving more towards the center since biden was elected

idk, I was getting moderated a lot more 2 - 3 years ago than I do now. Maybe that was the cleanup era you're referring to

No. I've become better looking each year with no regression so far.

I've learned from CE that all denying does is make the accusers double down on their accusation.

As a right leaning white person, I am completely in support of her and her position.

I moved into college dorms at 18. At 21 I came back for like 3 or 6 months, something like that. Been away ever since.

Yeah, unlike having just a daily routine there were weekly or monthly aspects coded into the behavior of NPCs. But since most of them weren't tagged as Essential it was easy for them to die when traveling in the wilderness. E.g. you'd be walking through some grasslands and stumble onto the body of a Khajiit courier.

Goblins also endlessly fought wars over their Totem Staff items. You could trigger an Everquest style train by grabbing a Totem and taking it to some place you wanted to get attacked.

Yes. Or surprisingly, at least in certain dungeons, there would even be random adventurers going in and fighting stuff. Though they were pretty rare if I remember, I only saw that a few times across many play throughs.

Oblivion had it's moments.

There was this one time, I accepted an assassination quest from the dark brotherhood, but you had to go to this obscure location out in the country to get it.

I accepted the quest, and when I did it put a marker on my hit. I look over, and right across the river, like 40 feet away, my target is walking on the road nearby. I thought the quest just went that way, until upon replays I realized that character would travel ALL OVER the map, and I just happen to get really really lucky in that instance that he happened to be RIGHT BY ME when I accepted the hit.

I'm a little sad because I had an extra role in Killers. I knew it wouldn't beat Oppenheimer but I was certain Lily Gladstone had Best Actress in the bag. If I had to guess, some of the voters probably considered it more of a "supporting" performance rather than lead. They probably should have gone for that nomination in retrospect.

just looked and only 55 of 86 voters picked oppenheimer

man people really dont keep up with movie industry news i guess

Where are you looking at the votes?

The best thing about it has always been the exploration. The world surprisingly does hold up in most ways, in the sense that most games haven't done any better.

I say we should offer it some kind of tribute since its so good

I love rain. But I do have vitamin D deficiency. Still, Ill take it.

also: gimping your sons sex life is insane shit only people who arent circumcised say because they have no clue what theyre talking about. My sex life is very far from gimped.

You can never know that if you had it done to you as a baby.

What I do know is guys who have made the choice to have it done as an adult (some for personal reasons, and some out of pressure from partners). They say it is not as pleasurable. Which makes sense, there's less nerves with it gone, less sensitivity, not to mention how it helps in sex aside from outright pleasure.

It's maming the child. As far as concerns over hygeine, yes, your child like any other person needs to be hygenic in their life to stay healthy. Any stories of problems with "cleanliness" down there resulting in infections/diseases is a result of people who DO NOT WASH there AT ALL.

You'll be gimping your son's sex life in adulthood. It's there for a reason.
Zonbei posted...

I mean. If you washed your dick and didnt pull the foreskin back and wash under it, (I know its not really under but you know what I mean), then youre not really washing it. Whereas that extra bit of attention isnt necessary when youre circumcised.

You describe this as if it is incredibly difficult. What you're talking about literally takes two seconds and is something you learn very quickly growing up as you bathe yourself. You NOTICE if it's not clean, like any other part of your body.

Animation has become worse, not better.

That goes for the art of film in general. The silent era.... thousands and thousands of extras, ENOURMOUS sets that still go unrivaled, and insane stunts...... There's been some great films after the 1920s, but to be honest none go as far as they did in that early era.

Now, these early anime studios you're talking about (well, earlier) , and these old film studios I'm talking about..... the working conditions were much harder. Those anime studios were sweatshops..... no ac, endless hours hunched over, years of back problems and arthritis...... The old films.... someone gets seriously hurt or mamed in a stunt, or gets trampled by the crowd in one of the old epics from the 1910s...... you didnt get an insurance policy that would cover you to not work for a year.

But the art.... the art was much better. It seems there is something to say about creation under pressure.

We won't get either of these again, so it's best to cherish the ones we have. The ones people broke their backs and died for.

I think you could have done better than picking some disaster that killed many, many people.

Can't go weak on the poll with middle ground options. Although I definitely should have had a "flip a coin" option for abstainers.

Rika_Furude posted...

Is there any sort of disaster that will cause more damage and death than another 4 years of trump?

also, didnt people commit suicide during trumps government shutdown due to lack of income? That makes trump an actual killer

Let's just say it's something ambiguous enough that you can't tell how impactful it is, you have to go with your gut. It might be something that lasts a short while, but has the potential to last a long time. Could be a conflict or health event, but it's something that will make Trump look even more foolish or evil or terrible and guarantee his loss.

How to get JimmyFraska to not post?

Stop responding.

If you were actually a right leaning person, you wouldn't want want conservatives to abstain from voting.

Proof TC is not actually right wing?!?!?!?!

CE has an algorithm so that your post gets shown to a lot of people at first so you think you're really popular, then it throttles your visiblity and you dont get shown to anyone

Nobody wants your updates.

you'll be reading them, unless you have the balls to block me.

Hearing him talk I find more interesting than his music. He was a super unique dude. But yeah I was never into his music

My anti voting sentiments are well documented. But yeah literally every county but 1 in my state will vote Trump if it's anything like before.

Good.

I agree.

I'm gameplanning some tactics to try on my cowboy buddy, will keep yall updated

SO yes, 70s aesthetics, adding more detail while shifting towards softer colours but still keeping the images clean and generally free of major gradients. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

This is a very insightful post, I could see this happening in the immediate future. But 2035 will be a whole new world

You'll definitely see more "retro-esque" designs. 90s blocky buttons and early 2000s fruigier aero stuff. I've already seen some younger gen z's and gen alphas start to embrace stuff like this.
But aside from that and moving forward, who knows.

There will probably be a reaction of some kind.

Tc should prepare to be branded a Trump supporter for making this topic

Cool, maybe people should actually buy the games they like.

And suggesting not to vote. So it shows you do take issue with the current system. Or at least that is what your disguising your intentions as.

But I'm not complaining about it.

Nok_Su_Kow posted...

Then expect no one to take you seriously when you complain about the system.

Nobody should have taken you seriously hours ago when you made your bullshit debut with "people shouldn't vote" nonsense only for it to trickle out that you lean right.

When have I complained about the system at all?

Nok_Su_Kow posted...

Convincing others to not vote is a bad faith practice that has generational consequences. If you want democrats to run things for a while, here's a brilliant suggestion: vote Democrat.

And if you want the GOP to succeed, convince your local lawmakers and congress people to drop the culture war bullshit that has infected your party and focus on the needs of your community.

Well, to be honest I dont care who runs things, the more important principle to me is that of not participating in that way. So voting Dem or republican still wouldnt make sense.

Now, voting Dem to beat the conservatives down to shake them out of their systemic faith? Tempting but that sits even worse than not voting

ssb_yunglink2 posted...

Damn voting in elections makes you an extremist leftist now?

Apparently not voting at all makes you a fascist, so, yeah I guess its a crazy world out there

Shadow_Don posted...

The election is rigged so your vote doesn't count anyways

Is what I'd say

That has actually worked on some but it's definitely a minority. I'd say at least 85% are stilll gonna go to the polls. Maybe more. There's a real sense of desperation.

creativerealms posted...

I know a lot of Trump supports, not a single one of them ever hid it. They tend to be the loudest people out there. So I don't believe you were ever "in the closet"

Thats interesting though in contrast to all the posts I made saying I wasn't. Who knows

VeggetaX posted...

Because regardless if you technically vote for Trump or not, if you still share a lot of his viewpoints then you are supporting him. Supporting the right wing views, republican views, alt-right views both socially and politically is still supporting him. They all overlap greatly. Hard to find a real republican that is against Trump.

And thats fine if thats how Im viewed. This topic is me accepting it.

VeggetaX posted...

Ah right so this topic was made to be pedantic and nuanced at the people accusing you of being a Trump supporter.

Well moreso just to get that part out of the way so I can have real discussions. When I bring up my viewpoint on something like voting, I get lumped in with Trump voters. When I deny that, I get "huhuh yeah right buddy, we know you really are a Trump supporter". They just call me a liar as if I'm trying to dance around being a Trump supporter (when I really wasnt a fan lmao) And the conversation goes no where anyway. So..... whats the point in presenting myself as otherwise? I might as well be a supporter to prevent that. Doing it this way, that will no longer be an issue. I'm just an oddball Trump supporter that doesnt actually support that much of what he does and doesnt vote for him and tries to convince conservatives to not vote for him.

But yeah, Im a trump supporter.
