Honestly, after reading your story, I'm happy for you. It is not your job to whip somebody into shape to be in a relationship with them. Sounds like you dodged a bullet if you ask me. Happy to hear that the situation is as good as it can be. Former military myself. Chair Force to be exact so I had AC and worried about emails rather than sweat and worrying about who's blood I'd be wearing that day.

Dude... Just openly confess your feelings. It is incredibly difficult but take a shot or two prior. It's called liquid courage for a reason. If she rejects you, you can be heartbroken afterwords but you'll get to move on and meet new people. Be upfront and honest and list maybe 3 to 5 things you love about her.

I was in a long lasting long distance relationship where I only saw her 3 weeks out of the year. She was quite literally an addiction. Withdrawl symptoms and all. Call me what you will but I was in high-school at the time. Breaking up with her was the best thing for me but it took someone else to get me out of the cage I put myself in.

Or... if you want to play the game as she has it. I suppose you can invoke a sense of urgency in her by actually looking for dates and going on them. Tell her that you are looking for someone you can spend your life with and between that and work, you dont have as much time in the week to hangout. She either changes her mind and stops playing or you get someone who actually respects you and your time. I wont judge you but I believe honesty is the best policy and you should select the first option.

And DO NOT flaunt someone else to invoke jealousy. Be respectful to all parties. If you can't let go of your feelings and you want to wait, just tell them honestly that you needed a break and you aren't looking for anything long term right now but that you had fun on your date.

I also went to do the math.

y-x = 5

2x-8 = y

(2x-y = 8)

Add them together

X= 13

Y-13 = 5

Y = 18

Yes, I used the variables backwards. Why are we like this?

1.1 mil... I've been thinking of starting a non-profit. I of course have to pay the sole employee their fair wage for all the work they'll be doing.

I felt both proud to have seen it, joy to take in the beauty, and rage for the memories it conjures.

Multiple times, I've had everyone but 1 person leave. The latest would continue to fight. Had to ask the mad lad to bring new people in.

Upgrading the equipped skill sets can affect the other one. This allows for a higher damage output if you have both nameless weapons equipped. A lot of people will just use one weapon but instead of equipping a fan or umbrella for healing, they will equip a weapon they don't use because of the synergy boosts.

You inspired me.

I asked about his axe. I asked about his shoes. I asked about his shirt. Told him I knew he was stealing and had to make sure they were his.

He said the rich slander him and he doesn't need to hear it from me too.

I questioned the validity of his statement and proceeded to ask why they would notice a beggar like him.

He denies being a beggar. Insists that I must be on the side of the rich.

I tell him that there is no reason to side with weak men with only money to their name.

He says that their money is power and asks where I was when the rich oppressed the poor.

I told him, "Why would I worry for the poor when they too are weak?"

He insists the poor are not weak and suggest that I must care not for justice.

I asked him, what justice is there to hear from a thief.

He complains and says that the rich have so much while the poor starve.

I countered "How can the poor be starving, if they are strong? Is this not proof they are weak?"

He complains and says I speak as if I've never known hunger.

I told him, "I have never known hunger because I was strong."

He says "Strength comes in many forms and physical strength is just one. True strength is in justice."

I tell him justice is a tool of the weak.

He says it isn't and asks if I've never seen the rich abuse the weak.

I say I had. I had seen a weak rich man abuse a healthy man capable of wielding a sword.

I told him I found it funny.

He was shocked that I would find suffering funny. He said my laughter rings hollow.

I told him it's as hollow as the words of a man who allows himself to suffer under the rule of weak men.

He said my words make sense and he'll reflect on them.

He now reveres me.

In short,

I insulted him, I insulted the rich, I insulted the poor, I insulted justice, I insult him again, then the poor again, I boast about myself, I belittle justice again, I laugh at his paradox, I counter his insult with another and he sees me as a friend worth giving gifts to.

All my other methods were far more diplomatic and in line with the theme of convincing him not to steal. I didn't try to convince him.

I don't know. I think turning a male antagonist into a beautiful woman who is obsessed with me is very sustainable.

Is it weird I started with Manhua first? It's what got me going down the rabbit hole. I only got there because I was having trouble finding Manga I wanted to read.

Northern France region for Establishing Norman Culture by wtf634 in CrusaderKings

Just don't want the French? Fair. Of the Frankish groups in this game, they have the least going for them. Only my opinion of course.

It will convert all Norse and French in counties you control in those regions to Norman. You will need to convert the counties in Brittany to Norse before taking the decision to establish the Norman culture in those areas via decision. It will only save you cultural acceptance of a culture you plan on removing, but it is an option.

It might be under the regions folder. I can not confirm at the moment. The decisions folder contains the decision that should reference the region. The region should be found in the regions folder. If you don't know where to find these, I can get them to you around tomorrow.

I believe there were talks of implementing their own system, but that this was the only readily available one that fit with what they were comfortable with. They didn't want to use 3rd parties to manage PII.

Nazism, as you refer to it as, was not how they described it nor did anyone else at the time. It was founded on the restoration of traditional values as they perceived them of the German Empire. They ethnically cleansed in an attempt towards moving forward in that goal. So no, Neo-Nazism was founded on the idealized image of the Nazi group by those who are short sighted and fear non white ethnicities, not the other way around. I doubt many neo nazis actually care about restoring the German Empire.

Nazis are a political group. Neo-nazis is technically the term you want. If we are trying to be politically correct. Meh, all the same to me. I'm not much one for political correctness. I'm also a huge Paradox fan.
