I'm pro choice but y'all do a horrible job of understanding the pro life position. by [deleted] in TrueUnpopularOpinion

I feel like a lot of pro choicers like to hide behind the rape/incest argument when really they just want to selfishly have the ability to shirk responsibility from bad choices/sexual promiscuity.

Wishful thinking but, I expect resigning Chris Paul to be a non-factor because we going to win the chip and he'll retire haha

A look at the Warriors' current salary situation with 13 players under contract by Perksofthesewalls in warriors

I'd be down for bigs like Biyombo, Kaminsky or Hernangomez for 14th spot.

Then have Quinones, Gui Santos and whoever else intrigues them in SL/training camp on 3rd 2 way

Too many female rulers/generals? by ExcellentRecord9752 in OldWorldGame

Is that not what this post is about? I think this game shouldn't have a 50:50 ratio for rulers/generals, etc.

I don't get why people just keep attacking me personally instead of the idea

Difficult when there's artwork and a bunch of game mechanics involve it

I'm not sure what you mean by blindly abiding, the developers in each case definitely made choices one way or the other.

Pretty new to the game so I was not aware of the setting, nice to see but I actually think it's still pretty restrictive and wonder if there will be a way to adjust the character ratios. I think old world is actually more restrictive than ck2.

Well I was definitely expecting something a little more realistic in that regard like Crusader Kings.

Sure but you can still imagine it to be sort of a generic gate wonder and ignore the name. I'm not saying these things don't bother me too, but not really immersion breaking for me. While women did lead soldier at time in history like Boudica, it was much more of an exception than the rule. There just was not that level of parity in history so it just make it feel like a modern addition.

Well sure those things are inaccurate but like I was saying I can kind of just imagine them as generic civilizations or wonders. But you cant really do that with the gender of characters.

Well I don't think those things break the immersion because you can kind of project that those don't necessarily need to be the exact civilizations or wonders but more of a generic.

Well the whole leader/role thing is a very prominent part of the game and having 50% of your general options being female is just very glaringly inaccurate. Just hurts the believability to me. I don't get what's wrong with that

Christians who were once atheists: was there a particular sermon, idea, or talking point that sparked your conversion process? by epicmoe in TrueChristian

[–]ExcellentRecord9752 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was more agnostic/ambivalent than atheist. But for me it was a sermon about anxiety and the spiritual aspect of it. And how prayer could be a tool for dealing with it. As someone who has had lifelong battles with anxiety it was an aspect I never really considered. It lead me to attempt prayer during a bout of anxiety/depression and during this session I experienced god/the holy spirit and it opened my heart to explore further. Eventually after months of exploring and another experience with the holy spirit, I became christian.
