  • So I see where you’re coming from. If your group of friends can collectively address all your needs, you would really feel like you don’t need a romantic partner. And maybe you don’t, which is perfectly fine.

    I don’t know where you are in your life. Personally, I’m in my 30s, and I’ve had close friends that have come and go. I grew up with making and losing friends constantly like any kid who had a military parent. All of this is to provide a bit perspective for when I say that (at least in my experience) friends don’t stay. There isn’t a reason for them to put you first in their lives. As they get more involved in new or existing relationships of their own, romantic or otherwise, there will be drifting and shifting of priorities. And unless you’re really good at making friends, it gets harder to make friends as you get older.

    A romantic partner is supposed to put you first on that list of social priorities and for a very long time. And it’s that feeling of counting on someone to be there for you when you need it that provides a sense of safety and comfort when your overall social network changes.








  • So games should never go free or even discounted because someone else paid full price ten years ago? That’s just stupid. Let alone, CS2 is essentially a new game that’s being released for free. Your only valid complaint is the content, maybe. Maybe they plan on releasing content and had focused more on quality during development.







  • I’m in the last act and nearing the big bads… But bugs are getting more frequent. One of them allowed me to traverse the entire foundry without starting a fight. One bug wouldn’t let me remove one of the party members from my group after they got knocked unconscious and I couldn’t help them up.

    So it’s been a slog of frequent saves and reloads. Still enjoying the game, though. And can’t wait to start a 2nd playthrough.



  • General Grant was not an alcoholic. He drank missing his wife. He never drank while in battle. That’s one of many slanders of the Lost Cause that victimizes the South as well as proposes the South to be superior in many aspects.

    Grant was by far the better general. While Lee fought a mostly defensive Virginia campaign, Grant was out completing the North’s military objectives in aggressive, modern strategies. His rally and subsequent victory at Shiloh, despite his mistakes. His Vicksburg Campaign that is still studied to this day. Grant’s ability to fight the war that Lee could not win when Grant finally took over the army of the Potomac and hounded Lee, when previous generals would turn, until he had nothing but a ragged army.
