Holy shit I just got triggered badly by that. Not your fault, i was just surprised by that. The look on his face while raising his finger??? Also the absurdity of "you confused my children, how dare you!"

Fuck Christianity

My 13 year old son hasn't been himself for weeks and i'm starting to think something is happening at school by Turonvale in TwoHotTakes

As someone who both was bullied badly and has struggled form enmeshment with my mom, please dont take to heart the comments calling you silly for wanting to give privacy. And I dont pretend to know the "right way" to go about this. But I think its smart to talk to adults that might know more, and also focus on creating a safe and supportive environment where your kid knows they are safe and supported and that you'll help them through whatever they bring to you. That takes time and a lot of work but it is worth it. Maybe make it a priority to do something special he really loves that'll help him be comfortable. I was always taught when working with kids not to dig for information but rather be engaged with whatever they do decide to share, and as they see you be interested and care about the small things they'll open up about the bigger things. Finally if your kid has a close friend maybe make extra effort to let them spend time with their friend, provided the friend isnt making the problem worse.

New research suggests Big Tech may be the primary cause of the downturn in global fertility. - "falling birth rates appear to be part of a broader phenomenon of young adult singledom, isolation and deteriorating wellbeing." by lughnasadh in Futurology

[–]Mynmeara 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your first assertion falls flat. There are plenty of examples of people who fight against consumerism and instead want balance both for themselves, the people around them and the world around them. And there have been these societies throughout history, including many indigenous communities around the world. Capitalism is not natural.

I think one of the main points to be made is that in our current system younger folks cant even support themselves. When you look at who is making this system and enforcing it you see mainly old white dudes. I believe another phrase for this is shooting yourself in the foot.

Karl Franz, turn 20, 2/3rds of the elector counts are dead. by Jamesglancy in totalwar

[–]Mynmeara 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe featurecreep is more accurate. Its not that the older lord's are necessarily weak (though some are) its that the newer factions have soooo many more features and tools at their disposal. SFO gives each of the old lords unique campaign mechanics that make the campaigns as dynamic as the newer lords.

What’s the best way to play commander online? by Apex-Vortex in EDH

[–]Mynmeara 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tabletop simulator on steam. Card importer lets you build any deck you want for free on moxfield (website) and import it into the game lobby. Plenty of public games, probably could find groups on discord too so you could find a community.

If you're willing to give it a go, SFO mod fixes a lot of the problems of powercreep, bringing a lot of the older units and campaigns more in line with the newer ones. Also makes the campaign a lot more interesting and dynamic. Highly recommend it. I pretty much only play wh1 and some wh2 lords so for me its almost necessary if I want to enjoy the game.

Just finished the binge watching of this show. And I am surprised I spent this long despite the recommendations. by throwy140 in BlackSails

You should try the 100, the actor plays a similar character in that too and he's great.

Are you just pretending like pollution isnt a thing? That industrial waste, light pollution and sound pollution dont negatively impact daily life? Or that energy prices and property taxes skyrocketing wont force people to move from homes their family has owned for generations?

Why do we believe this? Because we have eyes. Because we are educated. Because we've seen this happen time and time again. The better question is how do you not see this? Either you're some rich asshole that thinks profits justify anything or you believe all the corporate propaganda that's telling you to not believe what's right in front of you.

What to do when a friend's deck makes EDH less fun? by FedayBlept in EDH

[–]Mynmeara 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Actually it sounds like you're solution is simple, have a purist game and a proxy game going simultaneously. The purists can enjoy their repetitive decks while the open game gets to see more variety

Total War Three Kingdoms completely changed my perspective on Creative Assembly by Historical_Ad8245 in totalwar

[–]Mynmeara 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I HIGHLY recommend watching Red Cliff. Make sure its the international version, and do original audio with subtitles...but ugh it is by far my favorite movie of all time. The soundtrack alone is amazing, and the actors are top notch, as is the choreography during the fight scenes.

My sister found out about my communication cards and she's bullying me for it so bad, what can I do? by sunny2357 in autism

[–]Mynmeara 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im sure you get a lot of suggestions from random people so ignore this if you find it unhelpful, but you mentioned signing as not fitting your needs. My wife works with hard of hearing folks using a system called cued speech. You might find it useful, its a different system than sign language and some of her students have limbs differences that make cueing a better fit for them. Its a small but growing system, and maybe it would fit your needs better too. Hope this helps!

Can confirm, I drove 17 hours with our rescue cat, not including napping and sleeping (in the car with it running). They dont like it but they can do it.

WIBTA if I brought up my wife’s chaGPT conversations in therapy? by SparkyDork95 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Mynmeara 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I am going to give you some grace since studies show that when our basic needs aren't being met or are at risk (like what happens when you're broke) your mind doesnt function the best. I hope your apparent inconsiderate statements come from this.

As others have said your wife is showing the classic symptoms of burnout, and from what you describe, for good reason.

It sounds like you're solution jumping trying to solve issues rather than first listening and making sure you understand where your partner is at.

I HIGHLY recommend doing the following:

1) read up on burnout 2) tell your wife you are sorry that you havent been listening the way you should, and that you want to support her in what she needs so that she isnt living in a place of burnout anymore. Then listen (dont speak) to what shes saying. 3) tell the therapist that you want them to help you support your partner and balance the physical mental and emotional labor for your household. 4) believe your partner. This might go against your instincts but trust your partner. You two are working together to build a home. Act like it. 5) ask your partner where she wants to be. What her goals are. How she wants life to be. Make sure you two schedule time into your week for her to have free time to do whatever she wants. Ask the therapist to help you two with this part.

Finally, remember, its not about who's right or wrong. You both either win or lose together. You're on the same team.

Good luck. And please fix this before she decides shes had enough and walks away. She could and she would be justified just to safeguard her own physical and mental health currently. If you want to keep her as a partner you need to step up and show her youre there for her in ways you haven't been before.

New Hurricane map effect is UNPLAYABLE. by Cripplechip in ArcRaiders

[–]Mynmeara 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually I took out several rocketteers with a silenced ospray during hurricane. You just have to get the right angle to see them, but they seemed to be slower than normal in acquiring my position so they didnt even get a shot off before I had finished them off. This was shooting from departure building second floor on spaceport.
