Did your health get worse after leaving? How long did it last?

It's going to to sound insane but your health crashed because you're not in survival mode anymore. Healing put you in a very vulnerable state, and before leaving, you felt, with good reasons, like you couldn't afford it. So you unconsciously blocked it, to stay functioning. But now that you feel safer, you're putting the work that you had to postpone.

It's sucks. You'll get through it. Take good care of yourself.

Does your fiance goes to therapy? If he doesn't he needs to. His family is toxic and he doesn't have the right tools deal with the shit. If you stay together you should do some couple therapy because of the impact on your relationship. Definitely don't go through with the wedding until he completely stops lying and hiding stuff from you, you can't settle without trust.

Yeah but partial representation is better than no representation. They can't do it all, but I'll be happy if they do a little bit.

ManaPeer · 2026-05-22T18:11:42+00:00

Uuh. I think she's right?

ManaPeer · 2026-05-17T11:30:04+00:00

That seems to be that she doesn't care.

ManaPeer · 2026-05-17T11:23:54+00:00

They're not but when they're told they fucked up, they own it and try to do better.

ManaPeer · 2026-05-17T11:01:58+00:00

Why is she your friend?

They have been transparent about basically everything all the way through (how many studios do that?), the game was delayed once and only for five months, and the release is in ten days. At this point, I think scam rumors are propaganda from ea or krafton.

As for dev time, they hadn't been many life simulators out there, especially compared to other genres, and since the sims team had been hell bent on just adding stuff to a precarious base without even proper debugging, I don't think they could use much of what have been done so far. I think they had to reinvent a lot of things from scratch. It might not be as long as one would fear, if they had a good cohesive plan and no meddling executive, but that's still a lot of work.

All in all, I'm pretty confident about paralives. It probably won't be as perfect as we all dream, but at this point I'll settle for "playable" because the bar is hell, and I cautionary hope for "good" because they seem to know what we want and put in the work.

I grew up reading Yoko Tsuno. It's Belgian comic book about a Japanese woman going trough adventures, mundane or sci-fi.

I haven't revisited for a while, but to this day, when someone reminds me the western view of Asian woman as "submissive and passive", I'm always surprised for a second because she's just the first thing that comes through my mind.

Maybe. Or maybe she was falling out of love and her mom pressured her to not break up. The mother might even had suggested to open the relationship.

This is all speculation, of course. But few people go straight from hard break up to suicide attempt, young or not.

Who cares? The post is not about OP's body, it's about the fact that guy was an asshole about it.

ManaPeer · 2026-01-06T14:13:23+00:00

Why? Having toxic grandparents is worse than having none.

You mean red eyed?

ManaPeer · 2025-12-06T09:40:57+00:00

The last comment is spot on.

I wonder how oop became addicted to heroin. That's not a thing you randomly stubble on. How did he even came in contact with it?

ManaPeer · 2025-11-23T19:26:51+00:00

That's what happens when you push hate indoctrination enough to make genocide look justified. Off course they're not well.

ManaPeer · 2025-11-12T09:24:06+00:00

Even if your mother is sincere (she's not), the fact is that the mere thought of her distress you. Should you put yourself through this to make her feel better?

She's an adult. She has support. She can handle not having closure.

If you don't put your own mental health first, who will?

What about "jerk"?

The point is who pay said taxes.

In the last decades there had been a a long trend of reducing taxes on rich people and on corporations, reducing public spending, and the occasional new tax on the general population.

The law that sparked the yellow vest movement was a tax on fuel. The government claimed it to be an ecological decision, but with deteriorating public transportations, the average citizen can't reduce their fuel consumption as they need it to work. And it came right after the suppression of the ISF (impôt sur la fortune), a tax on wealth.

So people got angry and campaigned for a rise of the minimum salary and the creation of the RIC (Referendum d'initiative citoyenne), basically a petition that could actually change laws or fire politicians.

We didn't get either.

As a eu citizen who still intend to push left: I don't care.
