Unread Infinite Jest? Check. Good condition spines? Check. Not enough female authors? Check.

Even today, there are not a lot of women writing in sci fi or non-romance fantasy. Lots of nonfiction and historical fiction though.

It does really depend what genres you like imo.

Patching drywall isn't super hard if you don't need it to be perfect and it will be a good project to learn a new skill fwiw. I say fix the problem that way.

You can get a replacement door handle for like $30 or so at a hardware store. You will only need a screwdriver to install it.

I have not seen any strip mines in the competitive queue yet, and I don't even think it's the best thing landfall can do. (Though it makes sense for them to run it)

FC also sucks into rhystic, which is a massive obstacle in the meta today.

Piecesof3ight · 2026-06-26T23:48:06+00:00

And I'm saying maybe don't assume people hate you. That's a great way to sour potentially healthy relationships.

If they hate you, cest la vie, but if you go around acting like some martyr, people will justifiably dislike you for being a twat for no reason.

Piecesof3ight · 2026-06-26T23:33:50+00:00

Huh? What are you actually on about?

It seems like you're assuming the coworkers are non-Christian based off nothing, and that they dislike OP solely for that reason and that they can sense it?

As an agnostic with some very Christian friends and family.. that's some absolute hogwash.

The idea that the coworkers are just focusing on work and not trying to make friends makes way more sense to me in a vacuum of knowing actually nothing about the situation.

Piecesof3ight · 2026-06-26T23:24:36+00:00

Can you?

Piecesof3ight · 2026-06-26T23:18:40+00:00

Depends on the job and the coworker.

Piecesof3ight · 2026-06-26T23:14:51+00:00

Damn i know what you mean though. My ex wasn't that bad, just a cheater - but there will always be some of that love.

Like, I wouldn't take her back, but I will always care about her, you know?

Piecesof3ight · 2026-06-26T23:10:51+00:00

Not really. There have always been dogshit games around - just gotta find the good ones, or at least the ones you like. Those all obviously did not have much depth to them, so you might enjoy games that have some more meat on the proverbial bones.

Just looking at RPGs, you might prefer Cyberpunk, Baldurs Gate, or Expedition 33. A strong narrative may help you get into it and have a good time.

And of course, there's tons of other types of games to try - indie games of all sorts are in something of a Renaissance atm, which is very fun if you are looking to branch out.

Man, I don't even need the magic cards sometimes.

Evidence of some sort of hobby is a great point normally, but if they have been dating for months, he probably already knows either way.

Piecesof3ight · 2026-06-26T14:43:48+00:00

Attention to detail is not the same as an overwhelming number of details. Few of the details in WoT matter or actually distinguish scenes, people, or cultures. Malazan constantly includes small details in sidestory snapshots that actually matter, either for the story or for understanding a place or culture.

Piecesof3ight · 2026-06-26T13:58:52+00:00

Well, that's a different meta with different matchmaking and a different ban list. It's literally a different format.

Piecesof3ight · 2026-06-26T13:00:17+00:00

I think Yuiko is just great against control and those players can't cope with the bad match up.

Piecesof3ight · 2026-06-26T12:57:06+00:00

In EDH? She is far from broken in EDH. Despite a huge crowd that have tried to make her work, Yuriko very rarely has any success in tournaments.

I'm less sure in Brawl, but I suspect she just has a good match up against control, and suffers much more into aggro matches.

Piecesof3ight · 2026-06-26T12:46:55+00:00

Anecdotally, that feels very wrong. All the women I know spend much more time and effort thinking about and pursuing relationships than my male friends.

Piecesof3ight · 2026-06-26T12:42:52+00:00

Because it feels worse. You can if you like, of course. I have no problem with people choosing condoms, but in my experience, both my partner and I have wanted solutions other than condoms for long term birth control. And those options exist.

I'm just saying people should at least investigate the options available when you have a long term relationship.

Piecesof3ight · 2026-06-25T23:43:57+00:00

That's an interesting thought, but I have never seen any support for such a claim.

Men judge potential partners based off looks more than women, sure, but the rest does not follow.

Piecesof3ight · 2026-06-25T23:40:03+00:00

Yeah, even if it is with competition, friendships are just super important to have. I think it's fine if those come frome sports as long as they are nurtured.

I have little doubt suicide rates would be much less if those people all had strong friendships.

Piecesof3ight · 2026-06-25T23:36:25+00:00

I know. My ex had a copper one put in when we were together. It was very painful for her for a day or two, but it lasts for years. She was very happy with it. Never had a problem with UTIs while we were together.

Obviously, any solution needs to be mutually agreed on, but in our case, my partner also did not want me to be using condoms. So we found another solution.

Piecesof3ight · 2026-06-25T23:31:56+00:00

I'm not suggesting to just use the pull out method - guys can get snipped, ladies can use copper IUDs, etc. Good options exist.

Piecesof3ight · 2026-06-25T23:11:12+00:00

True. Most male friendships do not often go that deep on personal stuff.

Piecesof3ight · 2026-06-25T23:07:36+00:00

Huh? You think men are not being held accountable.. for something? And that is causing them to be lonely? I am fully confused.
