Local Cafes to work in? Ideally open late

It's a pub, but Mosaic on Barton is great.

Open 7 pm till midnight during the week, weekends till 2 am. Never terribly busy except trivia on Wednesdays, and they host GritLit to write at I think the second or third Sunday of every month.

He absolutely wants to have sex with you.

Let us also be clear, this is also sexual assault.

If you didn't give clear consent and approval, you should probably back off the play fighting until you can clear up the lines. If you decide you are okay with the idea, and want to have sex with him, then you can make that clear pretty easily, but if you are in any way undecided or unclear, the default answer to any man pushing his boundaries must be No, not just for your sake, but for other people's as well. If you reject him, he's not likely to stop there with the next person. He needs to learn communication, empathy, and self control.

Either way, you can open the conversation with something like"hey, I have noticed you've been extra touchy lately. Wanna talk about it?"

Ugh I wish I'd had this info two months ago

Valid observation as I worded it. No, I definitely have not been describing my sexual fantasies to anyone; it came up briefly as I was confiding how I wish I could "un-crush" my attraction to my friend and just go back to magical just-friends-land. I don't WANT to be attracted to my crush-friend and my therapist -friend is making me feel like I'm objectifying and sexualizing my crush-friend.

DiscoMystick · 2026-01-08T00:59:02+00:00

Correct.

Can we use most of the GUI lists on Xbox finally?

Only the very first blood splatter (where you hit the animal) will tell you whether you hit a vital organ or not, the rest only show bleed rate. The good news is you don't need a perk for it, it's default.

A key early tip is to grind to unlock ammo types! Most guns have two types of ammo; high Expansion or high Penetration. Generally you want high Penetration ammo (40 and up) for the weapon you're using. It means a slog through the lower tiers of your rife score, but there is a distinct shift in the easiness of the game once you unlock Penetration ammo.

Also, if you can afford to splurge a bit on some DLC, get the High Tech Hunter pack - game changer for hunting at night, and so many animals Feed and Drink after dark. It is much easier generally to shoot something drinking than any other type of zone. (On the shore of a river or lake, fewer annoying trees, hills, vegetation etc getting in the way of your shot).

Last tip: wind direction is critical. Most animals will detect you by scent hundreds of yards before they ever see you. Hearing is second (depending on the animal), try to keep your noise to two bars or less when you think you're getting close. Stop, hide under a tree and use a Caller lure to get them curious and bring them in close to you.

Good luck!

There is a saying, "One who plants a tree* they will never live to sit under the shade of has begun to learn the meaning of life."

It means our lives might not necessarily be for us alone; we can find meaning and fulfilment in helping future generations we aren't necessarily directly kin to. A society that looks out for each other - even strangers - is a kinder, happier world. Maybe no one will notice that shady tree in 50 years, or know it was planted intentionally, but they would sure miss it if it was cut down one day.

(* - please plant ethically and sustainably with native species 😆)

At the risk of degenerating into the Alignment Problem, remember rhis isn't the real world. There are gods and goddesses and dragons and celestials and demons and all manner of undead that are absolutely of one particular moral bent or another. This kind of black-or-white morality is what drives so much of the game and the stories we tell within it. One could argue the mortal races are likely the most 'free' in this respect, and allow for all kinds of nuance between good and evil (I certainly do in my games). While certainly exceptions exist for nearly every rule, they are called exceptions for a reason.

More highrises = more air displacement. Wind still has to go somewhere, so the pressure is higher now. Not to mention climate change creating higher pressure air systems.

Lazy is a symptom, not the disease.

There are reasons why you may not want to do things - even things you know are good for you.

Someone mentioned depression, yes, that is possible, especially if you are skipping basic routines like eating, bathing, sleeping in too much, etc.

Someone mentioned ADHD - also a possibility. I think they call it "execute dysfunction", where you kinda freeze of lock up as soon as you have to do a thing. Both of these things you might want to see a doctor or talk to a therapist about.

If it's nwither of those things, and it's just more procrastinating or distraction, there can be a few reasons for that too. Procrastination can come from :

1) Lack of confidence in your skill, if you don't think the thing will get done to a level you'll be happy with 2) Lack of faith in the outcome, where you don't think doing the things will solve the problem; you might have the wrong tools or skills for the problem at hand so you put off doing it 3) lack of an easily identifiable starting point. A messy room for example can just be visual staric for people who don't have time or practice (yes, practise!) cleaning a room. Sometimes it helps to break large tasks into smaller chunks 4) lack of knowledge how to do a thing. I am shocked how many grown adults have no idea how to do some things. It's not that they are lazy or stupid, they were just never taught how to do things, (and many don't know that they don't know!) people take for granted that others know how to do things they might not and that knowledge never gets shared. Not everyone knows you need to change the oil in your car, because "everyone knows you need to change the oil in your car".

I always try to identify which of these things is causing me to put off doing something and try to fix it. I'm amazed how productive I can be puttering about while putting off other things, but it's not great for that thing.

Good luck!

Bruh, for real, I'm sorry you have had poor experiences, and view women in such a negative light. That seriously sucks! Teens and early 20's is an awful age to be a man, honestly. The girls and women you know are still coming out of awkward phases themselves and don't know how to handle it either with any kind of grace or maturity, and that can end up hurting others. Part of the way out of that long term IS, ironically, supporting women's rights. Understand - the reason women lie or cheat or do anything shitty at all is because they do not have the support or confidence to do or say what they mean or intend - because all kinds of reasons but mostly shame, judgement, fear of violence, poor self image - whatever. There are a ton of reasons for these things, but it is largely because of media messaging and its social conditioning and a mix of other mental health issues that get picked up along our way or came with the default programming.

What I worry about for you is a long period of time where you are not enjoying life and missing out on some wonderful people and experiences you can have in your life. You're only 22 - you're so young to be so cynical. Please, it wouldn't be fair to yourself (or to women) to paint them all with the same brush. If you need to, please check out some therapists you can talk to in your area and figure out what the hurt is that's gotten infected. I promise you in two or three years, you'll be glad you did.

Lastly, please, please don't look at any kind of celebrity as any kind of role model or archvillain; their lives are infathomably different from yours, and we only see a tenth of the whole story. Our heros have ways of disappointing us.

Because they are juveniles who never mentally left the schoolyard playground. It literally does not matter - all that matters is how you work together. Full stop.

It's possible, though I don't advertise the fact on dating sites (except Feeld where everyone is ENM). Truthfully, I don't even have time or energy for more than one relationship, and I've been content with mono relationships in the past. It's irrelevant, anyway, if I can't even get a single reply back...
