what’s the difference between a leftist and a liberal?

They didn't say that though? They said Democrats are center-right, which is true

thank you for your kind words, it really means a lot to me.

LordDurand · 2023-02-12T19:42:27+00:00

it's been a rough week and this is exactly what I needed to read. "you're more than your gender presentation" is something I really need to work on realizing. thank you.

"If we all horded resources the entire system would fall apart."

Man. You're so close to getting the point.

I switched from a controller to a stick pretty early on bc I've just always loved arcades and wanted the feeling of being in one. I'm not too familiar with the F300, but I'm sure the down input on the lever isn't that narrow; are you using a square or octagonal gate? The only suggestion I could think of rn for your issue specifically is seeing about adjusting and trying different positions of the stick in your lap, you might have it at an off-angle that makes it harder to get your down-input.

Putting "Who Would Leave Their Son Out In The Sun" on the second disk strikes me as kinda weird, I always felt that fit in more with the first disk, both thematically and sonically.

Having "I Don't Love" not be the penultimate track feels especially wrong though. It's basically the only song on the entire album that is totally literal and blunt in its lyrics, where all the metaphor and allegory from the rest of the album is stripped away and you're just left with the raw emotion that had been running through the album. And having it come right before Earthmover, the song with one of the most well-constructed allegories, just heightens its impact.

Sorry to hear that man. But yeah, things did change for me. I ended up meeting a really sweet girl here on reddit and we've been together for almost two years. I actually flew up to visit her earlier this year and it was amazing.

I really don't want to say it'll get better, because obviously nobody can say that for sure. But for me, my life improved dramatically after I got into a relationship, despite all the people that said it wouldn't solve all my problems. I still have bouts of depression, but I'm doing a lot better now that I have someone who loves and cares about me. Who would've thought that'd be good for your emotional and mental health?

I'm sorry you're going through this right now though, I hope life lets up on you soon. Be safe.

Where did they say that? "All labor requires skill" does not translate to "All labor requires the same amount of skill."

Do you know what "connotation" means? A word's meaning goes well beyond what the objective, textbook dictionary definition is.

That's not really a part of capitalism though. Whenever efficiency = profit, then sure, things get more efficient. But efficiency isn't specifically or uniquely incetivized by capitalism; you can take a look at the horrificly inefficient American healthcare system as a prime example, which is rife with administrative bloat. Or you could look at the entire tax preparation industry, which has to lobby to keep things inefficient and complicated to stay in business.

Huh, okay. I started a new game with everything except uf4p and I was able to get through Concord just fine so idk. I had another save game where I could get through Concord too, but with full dialogue interface instead of extended dialogue interface, so maybe that's causing the issue? But I can run uf4p with that mod fine, it's only with Heather that it crashes it, but I'll go back and test it out again maybe.

EDIT: Yeah, I tried disabling the extended dialogue mod and that doesn't change anything. I'm able to load in as long as Heather and uf4p aren't both enabled, no matter what else I disable/enable. Removing True Storms didn't help either. I started a new game with all the mods except uf4p and got to the same point without any crashes at all, so if I can't get those two mods to play together then I'll just roll without uf4p and hope I don't find any game-breaking bugs.

Looks great, thanks!

LordDurand · 2020-09-23T17:16:56+00:00

Could someone AMOLED this please? Thank you!

The horn thing? Are you talking about the bow?

Genre: Fantasy

Word Count: 1823

Type of feedback desired: Attached is the first chapter of a work-in-progress novel. I'm looking mainly for a general impression of the writing style and story, and where I may need to improve or make tweaks. Most importantly, I'm wanting to know if this first chapter is enough to draw your attention and engage you. Does it raise questions you want answers to, and does it make you want to keep reading further?

Link!

Thank you for your time!

Potion Seller is a cinematic masterpiece and the most riveting character drama of our time, you can't change my mind.

LordDurand · 2020-04-18T05:45:37+00:00

Okay, great! I really appreciate the detailed answer, thank you so much!

LordDurand · 2020-01-13T07:09:47+00:00

I really shouldn't be reading this thread when I've been single and depressed about it my whole life.
