Unsure what that quote is supposed to imply. Either she does associate herself with the movement or she does not. I don't know the person or follow any of their social stuff. So if she does not, in fact, self associate with that group than I misremembered and I'm wrong. If she does than she is.

Ah, well I apologize for not recognizing the original source. I was going off memory from where I saw the tweet of the question. I hadn't realized it was from a response video. Though I still feel it was made to get a rise from people

Outside of my prepubescent years, I spent roughly 4.5 years being "Single". I did have some partners here and there but never rose to a full relationship. I was simply a bit of a wreck after a bad relationship ended and destroyed my trust.

Ultimately, I'm a companion orientated person and a bit of a romantic. Being single isn't the end of the world for me but I miss casual touch and someone to do things with. I make due and am generally happy and haven't really been in the market searching for about 1.5 years now.

The pros of being single: free time, make plans with whomever, low drama, quiet life.

Cons: free time, lack of general intimacy, lack of hobby sharing, and doing things as I am companion oriented

My partnership goal would be to find someone who has some hobby interests that align with mine and likes the quiet life. At this point I won't be having kids and marriage doesn't feel all that important. I don't need a document to agree to be with someone. I'd just want a place out in a rural area where we can enjoy quiet living, gardening, tinkering, and evenings with fires, jokes and the occasional hosting of people to hang out.

"Next weekend" "Next Friday" etc. Wherein they use "Next" to mean "the one after" rather than "the soonest interval in which it will reoccur"

If it is Wednesday and you say "Next Friday" I will immediately think of two days from now, not 9 days. I also especially dislike it because if feels like on a whim that it'll change. for some "next weekend" will be in 5 days if it's Monday, or 10 days if it's Wednesday! What the heck people??

There was a woman (IIRC a feminist) who posted a rage bait question of "women if you had to choose to be in the woods with a bear or a strange man, what would you choose?" (Paraphrasing)

Then got a bunch of hate mail from men and used that to exclaim that the hate mail was the exact reason women would choose a bear over a man in the woods.

It's...not for kids?

I agree. My mental health takes huge nose dives when I use dating apps. I've had great experience IRL and even use friends and their partners sometimes to curate messages so that I know I'm not fucking up. My longest streak was 16 dates consecutively of being stood up. Each was a different woman, no repeat dates or responses after being stood up. Man does it blow. The rejection just happens so frequently and in rapid succession that I can't stand it.

I also tick a lot of boxes that people present on those apps but for whatever reason my luck is pretty piss. Usually if I actually manage a date we end up at least seeing each other for some time but getting to that point seems nigh impossible through the apps

I don't mind vegans, or that lifestyle, at all. What I do mind is people who are overtly (and possibly aggressive) in presenting a lifestyle that the feel is "right". Unfortunately there's a stereo type with vegans being that way.

Veganism is a big lifestyle choice and the difference to vegetarian is the avoidance of near all animal products if and when possible. Not just in regards to eating meat, but things like a leather wallet too.

Someone has to be careful and on top of their diet and dietary needs to be vegan and properly nourished (even omnivorous people are subject to this malnutrition mind you).

I have some personal differences in views to vegans in regards to the consumption of meat, but rather similar views in how it's obtained. I do think generally the mass production and lifestyle is not morally correct for the animals. However I would also say humans are naturally omnivorous and eating meat is something that not only is built into our diet but what gave us a fundamental evolutionary advantages.

Animals eat animals and humans are animals. Though if we are sentient enough and empathetic enough creatures we should at least provide a decent life for the animals and utilize all we can so as not so waste them.

Trying to figure that out now. Waiting on some epiphany

My job is not fulfilling...anymore. I started in the industry and consumed knowledge. Landed a high level job in the industry but due to regulatory bodies (which is understandable) I'm not able to use most of my knowledge and am wilting in capabilities now.

Moving up is nigh impossible within the company. However, I do get paid enough that I'm not cheque to cheque and can focus a bit more on my outside life. That with the additional fact that my specific job is extremely stable to economic factors comparatively, I'll probably stay.

Well that's because they just released it a few years ago!

Games that have relatively short run cycles and are still the "complete game" each cycle. Tetris, solitaire, minesweeper are the OGs of this but bullet heavens (aka swarm survivor), and rogue-like/lite games can have this life cycle too.

The primary reason IMO is that you can feel accomplished and satisfied with the gameplay and the story more or less isn't important. This allows you to pick it up at anytime down the road, play it, feel accomplished, and don't need to recall story elements. The time sink required for these games also makes it important due to the fact you can squeeze them into your schedule if you only have 1 hour, or in some cases even 1/2 an hour. The loss for abandoning midway is also inconsequential.

I have a pen knife I use for work. It's an excellent fit for the coin pocket

The YouTuber "Wanderbots" covers a ton of games akin to Vampire survivors and the genre has a pseudo name of "bullet heaven" (opposite of a bullet hell). Plenty of amazing ones like "Death must die" though I cannot remember all the names off the top of my head, just take a look through the videos and I'm sure you'll find a ton

I always imagine that phrase with the Xbox sound and notification of achievement.

Jurrasic park was very much an impressive and great movie for the same reason the original Avatar was. The plot was decent or okay but the graphics and visuals blew everything at the time out of the water with such a magnitude of difference that the sparkle in your eyes stayed through the movie. Sure, looking back now, now that we have great CGI and 4K OLED screens, it may not be as impressive. But think of Legend of Zelda, Ocarina of time. Also basic and nothing visually amazing...by today's standards point but it was an insane feat for the time.

We now judge Jurassic park by the quality of it's story much more now than we are amazed by impressive dinosaur like we were back then. So of course it's gonna look mid at best

Anyway, that's my take on it at least.

I was the cause of a TPK as a party member. I am notorious for my bad rolls, to the point it made my character useless and myself as a player unable to really involve myself in any rolling interactions. So to combat this we homebrewed a character for me that was a sorcerer who was obsessed with the arcane and made a warlock pact with a chaos demon.

This pact gave me great power at a cost (Meta >3 was double damage 4-20 1/2 damage, and I roll for my spell selection each day, we had a chart, DM approved. I also rolled each cast to see which of a type of spell I'd cast). While the cost was great I also became insanely powerful, unexpectedly so, by everyone. Eventually the party and I were told about a house that people kept disappearing into and how it used to be an old brewery in the basement before the owners just disappeared too.

The party set off! We make it to the brewery a f as soon as myself and another party member set foot through the door some goopy slime falls onto our shoulder. Confused we look up just in time for a massive gelatinous cube, fed by many town people, to envelop us. The monk just behind us goes to start wailing on it as his two party members are helplessly engulfed but stumbles on the entrance and is equally absorbed.

I, a great wizard with a penchant for the insane arcane, decide I shall boil the gelatinous cube. I hope to roll a lesser spell but end up with the only high(er) level spell in my damage selection. Fireball. Roll my homebrew damage mod hoping for 1/2 damage, 2. Double damage fireball. Point blank. Inside a confined (gelatinous) cube. There were no survivors, but great stories never die.

I bought it the day before the 60% off great game but also RIP

Its been quite some time since I read them as well, but you aren't wrong. Well I've a host of recommendations if you ever need any!

The series is so long, which part are you referring to? Lmao it is one of my favorites still though.

(I'm pretty sure in a bunch of cases he uses magic to resolve stuff but never understands what he's doing and most of the time can't replicate it)

Also have you read sword of justice series?
