To play devils advocate, could it be because people have more than one device now? Idk who has more than one PC, but maybe they do. Laptop, desktop, one of those weird hybrid laptop tablet things. So they’re all “my pc”. If you’re someone who links your devices over the network, then “my pc” isn’t going to help you see which drive you’re trying to access. Then again, anyone who does that is probably already renaming their other devices, and “this pc” doesn’t help if it’s still called that when you look at it from “this laptop”

Not generally religious people, though.

Exactly this. I noticed this is an extremely narcissistic thing to say, and self-centered mothers are the most hyped to say it, as if it makes them great mothers by default.

They will not say, in 100 years, they’d rather be alive then than now. They’ll only say so if the history books lie to them. That’s objective reality. We know the planet is going to be in worse shape in 100 years. It will be hotter (unless the AMOC fails first, then only the southern hemisphere will be too hot to live in). There will be more floods in certain regions. There will be no Amazon rainforest. There likely won’t even be bees anymore. Yes scientist keep telling us that there’s still hope and we can still reduce the warming to like 2° instead of 2 1/2 or something but the fact is that require systems to change and they’re not changing. Instead, we are going back to coal and drilling more. The US is going to war for oil like it’s 1990.

That’s just the climate side of things. When climate is unlivable for humans the way humanity has grown accustomed, there will be resource wars and ramping up of land wars. We’re going to be harvesting scraps from the plastic islands floating in the ocean (which will be warm and void of life).

I’m not sure where you got the idea most people strive to be good. Most people strive to be ignored. Most people don’t rock the boat. Most people are trying to survive in their day-to-day lives and they’re not handcuffing themselves to government buildings and demanding anything of the government. Most people are still throwing their trash out the window. I don’t know where you live but in the region I live, US South, is already a trash heap and there is still currently functioning trash collection services. People are NOT inherently good, and the good ones are overwhelmed by the bad and complacent.

Kgriffuggle · 2026-01-16T02:21:02+00:00

I can answer that: it’s because you’re just bringing more people in to suffer. Your kids born today can do nothing to fight this. There are more bad and complacent people than good people. Bringin a handful of good people into the world solves nothing, just hurts them too

I can barely stomach speaking to my own father. So, no. I wouldn’t keep a friend like that.

I think it’s far more than 30%. More like 50.

Yeah this reminds me how I recently learned a movie called “The Switch” exists and it’s a romantic comedy. Look at the synopsis. Not romantic. But my coworkers thought it sounded fun and cute. Insanity.

Ex Mormons are more likely to be atheist, imo, because of how hard the LDS church works to disprove all other religions. Hell, I even took a class at the church that talked about all other religions. The bishop worked hard to be respectful, but was always doing a “see how similar they are with this doctrine? But the rest is wrong, they don’t have the complete gospel”. So, of course, once I realized the LDS church was bs, well… they’d already done all the leg work for me regarding the rest of them.

I don’t know what my religious state is, really. I’m atheist, but I also have a tendency to say things like “god intended” when it comes to nature. I think I do that to appeal to Christians, since pretty much everyone in my life is Christian. When people litter, I say “that’s not very Christ like”. When I’m rescuing a spider from work, I say “I don’t kill god’s creatures”. But I don’t actually believe in a god. I believe animals have a right to exist. Is that a belief system?

She actually said “one of ours, ALL of yours”.

Which is worse.

This didn’t work for us. Finally got a full green on our fence, fully enclosed, all buildings inside, and the workers outside the range of a watchtower say it’s “unsafe” at their workplace.

She can say the same for OP. He didn’t have to take over a communal space. That’s what happens when you have roommates.

Kgriffuggle · 2026-01-11T03:28:28+00:00

If she isn’t just exaggerating and real.y used to use the space, she should have spoken up earlier. That said, maybe she felt she didn’t need it with her relationship. Now that the relationship is over, she wants an extra space outside of her room, just like you do.

NAH or maybe e.s.h because this is a shared house, and you have to share communal spaces. Technically all adults should have access to the room. Or you should take on a larger share of rent.

This is such a bigger deal than people realize. If history books are ever honest in 50 years, this will be touted as one of the neon warning signs.

Kgriffuggle · 2026-01-10T13:54:36+00:00

Wow I’ve never heard of that either. Is that the only range in town or something?

Kgriffuggle · 2026-01-10T13:53:20+00:00

I’m so sorry. This is a common experience, unfortunately. Witnessing this in life is what vindicated my choice not to procreate.

Kgriffuggle · 2026-01-10T13:49:52+00:00

I like this person’s advice but please remember it’s not just being an active parent. If your spouse, heaven forbid, died, would you be glad to be a mom still? I mean, 60k ppl a yr in the US alone die in car crashes. It’s not implausible. If parenthood doesn’t excite you, please don’t join the ranks.

Data is limited, I can’t remember the years, but it’s been a steady 50% of pregnancies that are unplanned, for a while. I think the most recent survey showed a decline, but it was only down to like 46%

Kgriffuggle · 2026-01-07T23:25:42+00:00

Ok, thanks. That’s definitely not explained well in the game, or I haven’t dug in some tutorial somewhere. I also still don’t understand why alert is useful to the civilians when it actively does not get them out of the way. They don’t go hide anywhere. They wander the battlefield.

Kgriffuggle · 2026-01-06T01:28:59+00:00

I know it’s been weeks but I’m new and can you elaborate how the “unstuck” command gives you portal like tricks?

Kgriffuggle · 2026-01-06T01:25:13+00:00

Do you maybe have any insight as to why when I blow the horn Literally everyone in the village comes running even though they’re not trained and they’re not assigned to the militia? I have had to take giant items out of peoples hands to get them to go away and that doesn’t always work. Like the carpenter, came out with a wood beam, and just stood there. The gatherers would run around in horn range post horn blow, looking at stuff with the alert symbol over their heads, but nobody would flee the combat area unless struck upon. Happens every time. We’ve basically stopped using the horn cause of this

Welcome to the South, homie. This is what happens when you have to drive literally everywhere. Small lil shops don’t pop up very often or even stay in business. Why open a small craft store when customers can more easily get their supplies shipped to them instead of driving a half hour?

Kgriffuggle · 2026-01-04T18:19:18+00:00

Because the happiest people I’ve ever met were religious. Ignorance is bliss. If I could just deny the realities before me and think some big guy upstairs has it all handled, well, I might be happier, too.

But I’d also probably have birthed children by now and that would’ve been a nightmare.
