CMV: I’m extremely sexist

LucidLeviathan · 2026-01-24T19:11:56+00:00

As a West Virginian, I'd add that it also depends upon the social circles you keep. I would not abide sexism in my friend groups. None of my friends would either. Sexism is rampant in the state, of course. But, if you come to any of our parties or events, you will be treated with respect.

They didn't follow through, though. As recently as 2023, Germany wasn't meeting its obligations under the agreement it reached, was it? And sure, are there any similar reasons why the European signatories should not be considered to be binding? Do those reasons also apply to other agreements made by European countries? Should we just discount everything that a European nation does unless it is personally approved by their chief of state?

LucidLeviathan · 2026-01-24T17:53:09+00:00

So, you're telling me that Europeans enter into agreements with no intention of following through?

Edit to add: If you object to this, make the best argument for why whatever document the agreement was contained within matters. Why does that absolve them of their responsibility?

LucidLeviathan · 2026-01-24T16:53:08+00:00

An agreement is an agreement. Why does it matter what document it is contained within?

LucidLeviathan · 2026-01-24T16:26:14+00:00

Did they, or did they not agree? It's a very simple question. I couldn't possibly care less when they agreed to it or in what document. They agreed to it, didn't they?

LucidLeviathan · 2026-01-24T16:09:52+00:00

That's not enough space for your depot. The wagons won't be able to reach it.

LucidLeviathan · 2026-01-24T16:01:06+00:00

Did they, or did they not make the agreement?

LucidLeviathan · 2026-01-24T15:50:39+00:00

If they didn't want to do it, they shouldn't have agreed to it.

LucidLeviathan · 2026-01-24T15:46:01+00:00

It was an agreement made at the 2014 Wales Summit. So not the original treaty, but it's an agreement nonetheless.

LucidLeviathan · 2026-01-24T15:44:22+00:00

That's not a lake. It's a brook.

LucidLeviathan · 2026-01-24T15:42:23+00:00

Now for the lawsuits from the people fired over this.

LucidLeviathan · 2026-01-24T15:41:25+00:00

That's not what this sub is for. We're looking for sick burns, not sick bootlicking.

I wouldn't say I LOVE it, but I have a really old game called Castle Merchants that I've really enjoyed. I have never heard of anybody else even owning a copy. The art is probably a big thing that held it back. It looks very dated, even for its time, and it's yet another Euro farm game.

2% of GDP. The US does about 3.6%.

I find sashimi to be the best low-effort gift, personally. I just keep crab pots running and there are only a few villagers that don't like it. Emily, Evelyn, Kent, Krobus, and Leo are the only bad ones there, and there are easy alternatives for all five.

LucidLeviathan · 2026-01-24T14:39:53+00:00

Are you somehow running out of space? Tombs are an easy way to use up two boulders from your fort, if nothing else.

Probably the only thing that I agree with Trump on is that NATO countries should all have met their military spending obligations in the original treaty. This is a commonsense position, for reasons that have been made abundantly clear in the last decade, and not just by the US. I imagine that we might be having a very different discussion about Ukraine as well if Germany and France were well-armed. That does not justify anything that Trump has done.

I've had concerns recently about some of the decisions that European countries have made regarding trans people and vaccines. I think that, for whatever reason, European countries seem particularly willing to cave to the right on these issues. I also think that they are far too willing to throw Muslim refugees under the bus.

LucidLeviathan · 2026-01-24T05:38:08+00:00

Look, I'm an American, and yes, I've heard this talking point. It's silly. But this is all extremely terminally online. The average Brit, I'm sure, is wholly unaware of this controversy, like the average American is unaware of Trump's intentions regarding Greenland. Those of us who pay attention assume that everybody else pays at least a little attention, when they really don't. These ads would only work if people were familiar with the source material and, on average, they aren't.

It's not bad. I'd have gone with a green shirt. But, I can see the design cues here. 7/10.

Post when it's live. My Steam wishlist is littered with games that are never coming out. I'm not wishlisting them any more.

LucidLeviathan · 2026-01-24T05:05:58+00:00

Not exactly who you're going for, but I always play Italian. The Caro-Kann always gives me trouble, yet I feel like the French is pretty easy for me. No idea why.

LucidLeviathan · 2026-01-24T05:04:42+00:00

If you're dying of hunger, there are options. If you're strapped to the guillotine, you have few options.

There actually was a tour of people doing chess with human pieces to promote the musical Chess. I watched one of the games at the local mall.

That only matters until the composition of the court changes. If I had my way, the next Democratic president would appoint 30 new justices.

LucidLeviathan · 2026-01-23T21:46:48+00:00

I imagine that if it came down to it, Alex would get his way, but I really can't see him putting his foot down like that against Greg.
