  1. Going to the factory and hoarding them as cheap healing items was my go to in New Vegas. If I ran out, I ran back for more lol
  2. Warlock sounds sick. Maybe I should become a hot warlock boyfriend.
  3. Wooot. I thought witches where women. I see. That's interesting. I think there was a similair paranoia during slavery about black men eyeing up snow bunnies. I guess its feeling overprotective of one's women turning into aggression.
  4. This is how green fails. It's too preoccupied with tribe consensus and ideological purity than being politically actionable. They don't really think about or care about results. Just that your wearing the right color of clothes, which comes at the expense of producing actionable results. It's conformist as hell and cringe 100.
  5. I think video games can be good at putting you into the mind of different perspectives, being essentially simulations. By virtue of how the game's mechanics forces you to behave, what to avoid and how to think you can gain an appreciate for different an alien perspectives. It's different from trying to be artsy. Prime example are tactical FPS with slow movement and realistic guns. Makes you realize how psychologically stressful combat is. Like when you have to cross a field and have no idea if an enemy is watching. If you get caught in the open your dead. And you die die instantly and traumatically. There's no HP bar draining. You'll be alive one moment and the next you are dead. You could be in the thick of it and have no idea where the enemy is and unsure of what to do. Huddled behind a tree stump. Very intense. It makes you appreciate how much luck there is in combat too, whether or not an enemy just happens to see you. Whether or not random explosions and artillery hit you. Your forced to adopt to specific tactics in how you move and approach firefights, but because visibility is low and firefights tend to last just seconds you kind of have to project your mind unto the enemy and predict their movement as much as possible. Your not only moving from a to be looking out for the enemy but deducing their general whereabouts based on clues in your environment (gunshots, orientation of objectives relative to friendly/enemy lines, etc.). This is what I mean by how gaming can put you into a particular perspective. You have to think as a soldier in a microcosm of all the stress that involves. Another example is Rainworld. It makes you appreciate survival as an animal and how it's basically non-stop for animals. Everyday you have to go out and forage and avoid predators. There are no breaks. Your constantly in survival mode. Constanst pressure to not die. Your never fully safe. Every win is fleeting. Also makes me think of the first Bioshock. You where originally meant to play as a little girl. That would have been crazy if done well. I think there's a lot of room for devs to convey unique perspectives. You could make a game that convey the perspective of being a woman in a war torn country, ala Berlin during the red invasion. You'de have hide from rapists and bombs and survive somehow. You'de have to adopt a fundamental sense of distrust in order to survive. Not all perspectives and concepts would lend well to gaming though I think.
  6. There is a bunch of hysteria surrounding pedos and it has kind of become the modern version of a witch in how people give it a sort of mythical gravitas. It's uniquely evil. People will react stronger to you being a pedo than if you committed genocide. Don't you think Netanyahu would be out of power now if he raped children instead of bombing them. People prefer that you kill them over raping them.
  7. Saw an old man at a concert yesterday. Dressed well. Had a bitch. In shape for his age. Boss. You know your doing something right when your girl is clinging to you in your 70s.
  8. In my past trips, I experience some kind of emotional release and my thinking mind intensifying kind of. Deeply contemplative and very clear thinking. That's kind of what I want to access, but this time direct it more towards my issues. Last time I was doings sets of goofing around with zero gains.
  9. Interesting. Never heard of tripping in your sleep. But aren't those poisonous? That's the mushroom lol
  10. What is it with uni students being such pussies? Everyone is talking about muh freedom of speech but what about the fucking students reporting an obvious joke about Bibi bombing to the authorities. Not only are they offending by everything but they got to ruin your life on top of it. I remember classmates once getting shook when I told them of this video where a ballistic dummy gets vaporized by a howitzer round. I got canceled for making a rape a joke at a party once. Had to face a tribunal of tired middle aged secretaries who didn't want to be there. What a joke. Literal high school students have thicker skin than this. Of course the gov can't prove shit here so the charges are likely to be dropped. You know the air is going to be awkward af and thick with resentment when she's back at her classroom.
  11. That's normal for you lol?? Just 15 already makes me kinda sweat lol. I was think 7-10g shpuld be a good amount for me.
  12. "porn addiction", IE. afraid of job application and gets no bitches. Idle hands. Stop coping.
  13. Sympathy, not empathy. It's kind of a curse because it does make your life significantly harder I think compared to if you just liked women.
  14. Trauma stuff.
  15. Seems overly lax and lacking in discipline, anecdotally speaking. Parents seem incapable of setting limits around children and don't have any strategies or tools to manage behavior that isn't an ipad. It seems to be both a skill issue and an overly permissive as if childhood is this sacred space exempt from reality. We in general seem overprotective of children and scared of coming off as abusive. A 180 from beating kids with rulers. On that note, is there ever any times where some kind of physical handling is constructive, in contrast with conformity of putting hands on kids? And yes, I was at a restaurant with a screaming child, but I'm genuinely curious. I'm not having a Reddit moment, I swear. It's hard to find any insight that isn't terminally online losers ventposting because a kids crashed their trans meetup at the local library.
  16. An entire generation raised by Logan Paul.
  17. Suddenly half of humanity are pregnant.
  18. This is more about the parents though. They are why these kids are acting spoiled and brainrotted.
  19. Most young children in my life, not a lot admittedly, have been kind of spoiled with very soft parents. Annoying and entitled, so it seems to be a societal trend.
  20. This stuff really isn't that shocking. The internet been used to push the freak agenda since day 1. Morning Glory Milking Farm proves that some women choose the bear not because they hate men.
