  • I don't think I'm really over it, but I'm over it more than I was.

    My ex wife kept cheating on me. That makes it pretty simple really.

    As to why she did that. I don't know. She was going through a bad time, and I think feeling bad about and for herself. She wanted to feel better about herself, and escaping her life made her feel that way. At least, that's what I think. I'll never really know I guess.

  • And Linux has come so far in gaming. The worst part isn't the games themselves, but all the other crap companies make you install. The stupid Ubisoft and ea apps are the only reason I use windows at all.

  • Why do you put maliciousness in quotes?

    Kids absolutely can be malicious. Sure, it's a small scale but kids can absolutely manipulate. Asking for an apple , if they really just want an apple, is not manipulation because it's not malicious. Little Susie telling her sister Jess to give her her soda or shell tell their parents about how the window broke is 100% manipulative though.

  • I think an educated populace is an invaluable resource. But, nothing is stopping someone from not going to free college if they want.

  • Why don't you fix it then?

  • Sure, but usually the term manipulation has a negative connotation.

    In a sense, when my kid asks for fruit, they are manipulating me. But that's not what anyone means. They mean a kind of devious persuasion.

  • Making your states education system into merely a business is a great way to hamstring your state and it's population.

    WVU may well do fine. But that doesn't mean there aren't repercussions.

  • Education shouldn't be as expensive as it is.

    Practically speaking, I get why students look at it that way because, like you said, it is an expensive luxury at that price.

    But, it shouldn't cost that much.

  • No, he's very good. Has I think 24 ships in a row random no pause.

    Just that kind of personality. It's something he tries to work on, do I find it kinda funny.

    Famous for lots of salt at ftl rng.

  • I forgot to mention, the life saving divorce, while I wouldn't say it change my life, was helpful at that time.

  • So, you mean, it's changed your life because of the effect it has had in other people?

  • My story is a little different, but I resonate with that kind of change. After I found out my ex wife was cheating on me, it started the process of taking a lot of blinders off. I feel like I see reality better, but I do feel much more disheartened in trying to date.

  • I think that was only a thing in earlier editions right?

  • Doesn't it take a minute to cast?

  • Does that stand up when everything goes to hell?
