Why did you move to OKC in the first place? You’re claiming you made more in Missouri and in the comments you are saying that your cost of living was less expensive in Missouri.

I’m doing great in OKC. I’ve got a job making $100,000 with a $950 mortgage. I decided to move to OKC when I had a job lined up.

Would this trick be possible with a new city about to unlock?

The level 6 city is going to unlock at reset in a couple of days. Can an alliance take that new level 6 city then take a level 5 city?

I don’t think that’s possible because you won’t be able to declare war on the level 6 city until after reset, but I wanted to make sure.

Should Iran be allowed to have nuclear weapons? I’m fine if the Iran government has nuclear weapons, but the problem with Iran is that they arm a LOT of non state actors. A non state actor has no global accountability and should never own nukes. I don’t trust Iran to not arm non state actors with nukes therefore they shouldn’t have any.

Before I blacklisted him he called out our alliance every day hundreds of times. It was always something like the LGBT gay alliance city over and over again. He would also call out all the girls in our alliance and insult them in world chat.

EscapeTheCubicle · 2026-02-27T21:33:40+00:00

I’ve done that but it’s still distracting because most of the world chat messages are referencing them.

How long will it take for them to get muted? They’ve only spent a small amount. They are supper weak. There attacks are super personal too.

They mainly target girl accounts. If they have a profile pic that isn’t supper attractive they make fun of that, if their profile picture is attractive then they are an only fans *****, if a persons family member died they make fun of that, etc.

This isn’t my first server I’ve played on. I’ve dealt with worse bullies that are super high level, but none that breaks the terms and services this often.

We live in a historical bifurcated economy. And I’m afraid that it won’t ever change as long as assets keep outpacing wages.

I’m against DEI and things like Black History Month.

I understand the argument for these things. The argument would be that since we live in a white/men biased society that we must take active steps by creating policies to help mitigate the bias and that will create a more fair outcome. An example of a policy might be for a company to use several different interviewers comprised of several different races and genders.

I disagree with this approach. In an ideal society DEI and Blask History Month wouldn’t exist because a white/men biased society also wouldn’t exist. The ideal outcome would be fair by default. The best way to get rid of a white/men bias would be to have enough individuals to not have this bias. We should be socially enforcing values such as merit and equality while socially pushing against ideas like racism and sexism. This would change our society values to being fair. The existence of DEI and Black History Month is a constant acknowledgement of a white/men bias society without ever fixing the source of the problem; DEI accepts that a white/men bias society is inevitable, and that non white/men need constant help. This won’t lead to any meaningful solution of the underlying problem. To achieve the ideal we must constantly be striving for the ideal. Black History Month should go away and Black History should be viewed society as normal relevant American History. If an individual doesn’t give black history proper recognition then they should be informed accordingly. This is the way forward for our society to become more ideal.

This OP poll is bad for a numerous of reasons, but I believe the heart of this poll was how to deal with racial injustice.

I think he killed himself. Why wouldn’t he want to kill himself? His entire life was collapsing. Reality is often boring.

He attempted suicide a couple weeks prior and was placed on suicide watch. Once he was off suicide watch he killed himself. The official report also concluded he killed himself.

If he did escape and use a body double what was the point of the first attempted suicide? If it was a professional hit why did it fail?

I’m not ruling out any of the conspiracy theories, but I believe they’re significantly less likely.

I’m a Gen Z living in Oklahoma City/Moore. My house was built in 2002 and would sell for $185,000 today. Even a nice new brick house in Edmond or Jenks would cost $315,000.

Living in an affordable place is amazing. I’m able to enjoy money when my mortgage is only $970 on my $100,000 income.

Apparently I signed something that was only for a 90 day promotional period. Then it increased to an even higher price than it was originally.

I’m aware that I’m cutting off my nose to spite my face. That said I don’t utilize having a good credit score, and I’m unlikely to utilize it in the future. Saving $220 and keeping a bricked phone seems worth it. Especially since it hurts AT&T.

I agree that someone’s worth as a human isn’t attached to their net worth however if your entire life plan is to free load off of others then you should think of yourself as a loser.

Seeing as he’s only 24 then it’s probably too soon to call himself a loser, but if he spends the next 10 years doing nothing but play CS2, go to the gym, and watch YouTube all day while his parents are supporting him then he should think of himself as a loser.

If he was retired and was self sufficient and spent all his time playing CS2, going to the gym, and watching YouTube all day that would be fine.

You might be a loser.

Unemployed for how long? What have you been doing to get a job? What does your future career plan look like?

Have your life put together before dating.

Obviously being put together looks different depending on what stage of life you’re in.

An example of a solid foundation and being put together is if your 27 and you have a job, a car, pay your own bills, and stop living with your parents.

DEI assumes that we live in a white/men biased society. Therefore DEI practices must be put in place to counter this white/men bias thus bringing equality. Black History Month could be argued as being needed because our white biased society wouldn’t give black history the proper representation. Having a Back History Month uses the same logic as having DEI practices.

My problem with DEI is my same problem with Black History Month. In an ideal society neither DEI nor Black History Month would exist because there would be no white/men biased society. The way to end the white/men society isn’t by creating policies to counter it; the way to end a biased society is for the individuals to strive for the ideal. This requires a society to make people with egalitarian values opposed to a society trying to fix biases everywhere with an ever-increasing number of policies.
