Traditional gender roles is just division of labor that aligns with biology. The harder survival is, the more you need to lock in into certain roles. In comparison, clocking into the "gen z and a mini" factory is almost fake as far as work goes. -

My mom used to tell of how her aunt, who was a housewife, would cook really amazing meals. The advantage of that kind of division of labor is that you can really lock in. Homecooked meals used to mean something. Now we only have time for frozen pizzas and ready made al dente. Keep in mind that my mom is someone who likes to and is good at cooking, but you can't compete with the logistic of a stay at home. -
I love the insight about how abundance mindset is sorta bullshit. It really cuts into the self-improvement/hippie culture you see everywhere. Abundance mindset is kinda like toxic positivity in practice. Like, if you miss out on your dream girl because your too scared to talk to her, you can have an abundance mindset and say that it doesn't matter, but the reality is that you missed out on her and you'll never get another opportunity. Physical reality is finite. Animals wouldn't need to act starved if that wasn't the case.

The reall issue is just the algorythmic and polarizing way that self-improvement/political content is framed online. It doesn't help anyone to have a chip on one's shoulder. She's a dating couch but who actually wants to date her seeing her like that? Its the same as those "dude trust me" channels about how all women are hoes and shit. Its red meat for the sexually frustrated. I have a strong intuition about avoiding that kind of content. Its a grift unironically.

Her name is literally "resent" lmao 😂

Working on a computer doesn't necesarilly mean you won't be social. It heavily depends on your work place and company culture.

I feel like we as a culture have become a bit disproportional and hyperbolic when it comes to rape as a crime. We are more shocked by rape and ready to crucify someone than murder it seems. Like, if Lindsay Clancy had sexually abused her kids instead of murdering them she would've gotten lot less sympathy, no?

They need to add a predator-prey dynamic where it hallucinates cats trying to eat it. Added pressure to stimulate adaptation and intelligence.

As in he should get more or less?

No, they have legal duty to protect inmates. Inmates can sue if a prison fails to protect them to a certain extent. It doesn't work in practice like that always though.

I like Skyrim because it's a white ethnostate. We are not the same.

@Cubbage You sound like a CIA brainwashing experiment bro. Your hyperbolic af. If you love it so much why don't you marry it.
-
Why's that?

Whimsy and duty aren't mutually exclusive. You can do the things you need to do and still have joy for life. It's just a matter of when you should be serious and when to have fun. And modern life is such that there's more time for whimsy than ever before. Ultimately, what you want is to just be more present.

lol how? It's mostly nostalgia + elitism because it's a hard game. Gamers love their elitism. Morrowind is like a shell of a modern Elder Scrolls game. It's missing the fun gameplay. Lots of people are nostalgic for Oblivion too, but it's harder to glorify it because people actually play it. bro wtf hahaha
-
Morrowboomers are like a cult. Obviously a 25 yo game is going to be outdated by modern standards. The gameplay is a shell of subsequent title. Its only does challenge better.

Legendary is just damage sponges. Not fun kind of challenging and unimmersive. And it goes beyond just the difficulty of combat itself, but also how you navigate the world, how much the story handholds the player, the depth of the systems, etc. You rarely really make decisions in Skyrim, for better and for worse. If you want to, your illiterate nord caveman character can become president of the mages. That's the depth of the issue of how easy this game is. Its down to the bones of how the game is designed. I think Morrowind is a worse game overall, but I like how it is broadly more challenging. For example how it implements fast travel. Instead of a simple menu interaction you have to utilize special services that "transport" you to set destinations (carriages, teleportation). That requires the player to interact and learn the game world as well as contextualizes the mechanic. You have that too in Skyrim with horse carts, but not to the same extent. Morrowind's fast travel system is not necesarilly better because of how no fast travel in the ordinary sense creates opportunity costs for exploring and boring back tracking, but it is an example of the player being challenged more just in how they navigate the world.

What are you guys hoping for in Sentinel? I hope its going to be more challenging. Skyrim was way too easy overall and the world revolved too much around the player. I don't believe Skyrim necesarilly lacked depth in a way that's important, it's just too easy for any depth to matter.
-
You know, those kind of things are fine if its something you connect over, but when they act like their life has been ruined all the time by other people... I hate archbishops of complaining.
-
They are probably going to monetize mods for Sentinel as much as possible and people are going to complain.
