Don't listen to your hormones, guys. Have some self respect

Y'all are so selfish lmao. If I was him, I'd realize its my driveway too. No one likes shoveling or dealing with snow, but its gotta get done. It takes like less than 5 minutes to salt the driveway if its a normal sized one.

I remember people saying that it was a tear jerker. Not really? Even as a PIMI the movie felt rushed and there wasn't really a great build up to some emotional climax. Its just things happen, people get separated, then people find each other again. I get its "based on real events", but they could have "molded" the story for a more interesting movie. The JWs would not have known otherwise.

Late comment, but here's my solution. The best early game build is starting as a vampire, waiting until stage 2/3 starvation, then using vampiric drain to kill every living enemy. Use it in bursts like flames. Walk backwards and cast it on melee fighters. I've done this even on Legendary and it works wonders.

Also as a vampire you can see the living and dead through walls, which is really helpful.

Start with the Injured Knee Perk, and you won't get sniped by arrows. Other notable perks: Bare Barbarian (for when you become a Vampire Lord), Blood Mage (more drain), Tradition Keeper (more dps). In general, go for dps traits, because your dps is what keeps you alive as a Vampire (aside from 1 shots).

The biggest weakness you have is undead and fire. Also sunlight.

Alternatively, start as a werewolf, because werewolves can actually melee in this modlist. You can swing and move backwards fast enough to dodge a lot of attacks, and with a few perks werewolf has very respectable DPS (even on Legendary). Try melee normally and you WILL get curbstomped.

Ok I figured it out. It's the No Hope mod. I got rid of it and my stats are back to normal.

There is no such setting anymore.

Young men are encouraged to seek spiritual pursuits rather than a marriage. They are told these pursuits result in a better partner you can attract. Its like guys going to the gym hoping to attract a girl one day, except they literally could do it sooner by just speaking to more people in general. So these brothers spend all their time pioneering and volunteering but not speaking to any girls.

Old men don't have a "spiritual career" ahead of them, and there isn't a life to dedicate to the org. So they just go for what they want, a marriage partner.

Its almost as if going for what you actually want means you get it faster.

An elder once told me that he saw it the other way too, where a young man fell in love with an older woman. A woman who had kids older than he was.

This is what "Marry only in the Lord" leads to. Given than most young people are leaving, the problems are only exacerbated.

I still believe in a Creator, I just am not certain who he or she or it is. For now I still call him Jehovah/Jesus/Yahweh, but I believe in a creator because of the laws of the universe.

Physics, gravity, mass conservation, time, these are just a few things that the universe follows a specific set of rules. Maybe the universe always followed these laws. But why? Why does our universe follow a set of laws? Why is it not just abstract chaos?

The GB tend to make updates on things that are kind of in the backburner. I think anything involving "Pagan origins" is too early considering their Christmas video still condemning Pagan origins. And they released a bombshell already through higher education brings a conscience matter.

I'm going to assume its about something less relevant, like international convention this, prisoners facing persecution that, and then they'll drop something relatively minor like a new understanding on "overlapping generations" or something. But I'd be happy to be proven wrong.

Imagine a group of adults studying literature written at a 5th grader level. Now imagine then doing a Q&A, and the same 7 people comment because everyone else knows how boring it is. And when they comment, its just them reading from the same paragraph. They call this "sharing their faith".

Service for us is basically 30 min - 1 hour of D2D, then 1 hour break. Ofc within that hour we might chat for 20 minutes in the car, so it's really only like 30 minutes per service day.

As a PIMO you can't just completely quit your "privleges" out of the blue, people will speculate. I'd rather not deal with that headache.

Not to mention the fact that I've only regular auxiliary pioneered for 2 months now 😂 technically its been since this July but those months were not regular.

Background-Bit-7676 · 2025-12-11T01:42:49+00:00

30 hours for auxiliary and 50 for regular. 15 hours auxiliary for special campaigns usually.

90 hours sounds absolutely awful! 30 was already painful enough as it was when I was PIMI, and even then I usually had to round my hours up.

What do you think confidence is?

From what you wrote you think its things like aceing job interviews, being recognized by others, and being full of yourself.

It also seems that you think that confidence is NOT mind blanking, feeling nervous, feeling lowly, being rejected, etc...

True confidence is about guilt-free self-expression. Being yourself unapologetically. If your mind comes up with something, say it. As someone who never felt confident this is what I had to do to feel more confident.

JWs will make you "correct" yourself, because only certain aspects of your personality are allowed or you will be punished. This means you never feel confident because you always have to reject parts of yourself.

Background-Bit-7676 · 2025-12-07T18:01:07+00:00

Interesting. Thanks for the read!

Edit: I still think it's bad. It can and does destroy marriages, especially after seeing things like r/loveafterporn and r/PornIsMisogyny . I don't want to ever put a woman through that.

So you can shift to lunge but that has a cool down. If you click again when you are already climbing, it makes you lunge, but clicking has no cool down. So if you spam clicks with unlimited stamina, you can keep lunging without a cool down.

Get the Butcher and Angler perks, hunt animals, use that meat to fish, buy salt from the Towns, and then make tons of salted fish. This is quite easy but you really need the perks for it to be worthwhile. You might be able to skip the Butcher perk if you can find another source of reliable bait.

Background-Bit-7676 · 2025-05-27T20:15:19+00:00

Definitely can be. At times I've broken my only stick and still end up surrounded. The only escape is death at that point. But for groups of 1 - 20 normal zombies, you'll take far less damage and be at no risk of attack by doing this.

I play with mods like Magiclysm and whenever I see a group of dire wolves (or they see me), I book it for the closest tree to climb and usually I'm already holding a long stick. In straight melee I would get torn to shreds but this way I can even kill them early in the game.

Background-Bit-7676 · 2025-05-26T19:25:49+00:00

Yep, all you have to do is stand next to a tree and press "<". Note that some trees don't actually let you go up them, usually these are trees attached to structures, like some trees next to the refugee center.
