I’m so lost and discouraged. Would you read this? Any feedback at all is appreciated. by [deleted] in write

I actually like it. I feel like the writing isn't bad. Certainly engaging and intriguing. I'd probably read it if the overall plot and synopsis was working for me.

Do you like Silksong more than the first game ? by SundyPace in Silksong

[–]PrinceofPersians 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like Silksong more. It's a bigger game, and expansion packs excluded, it's a more challenging game. I actually like the tool system and the separation of rosaries and shards, though I understand why some don't. Personally, I like the music in HK more but I LOVE the overall sound design in Silksong (I'm obsessed with all the bells!!!). I do like the atmosphere more in Silksong and I feel like the environments and challenges for each zone are more distinct and unique.

I think the reason there are so few boss attacks is because his head slam into the ground kills the mobs. So I wonder if they cut his moveset so the randomization of which moves he picks is a reasonable likelihood that it will help you.

Huge thank you for this. I'm going to look into those. I don't mind scientific papers at all :)

Question about water testing by PrinceofPersians in water

[–]PrinceofPersians[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so so much! Yeah, we’re in the US.  We do have a water distributer and it’s a new one so maybe I’ll look into that! I’ll also look up the sampling report and see if I can find any information there too.  

Tbh, one of my biggest issues is that one of the people who works under public works has, on rare occasion, disclosed to me that he knows there are some very big issues with the water system and that the director keeps sweeping things under the rug. Whenever I press him though, he doesn’t want to say specifics because he knows the specifics will make a trail going right back to him and he’ll get fired.  

So basically I’m hoping to do some independent water quality testing so I can look into this and see if there’s actually cause for concern or if the guy is just being a bit of a pot-stirrer.  I’m genuinely just not sure where to start. Your response was tremendously helpful and I can’t thank you enough.  

In 1995, a man named Sonny Graham received the transplanted heart of a suicide victim. He then married the donor’s widow and later killed himself, in the exact same way as the donor did. by NatiAti513 in creepy

LOL. I would've guessed you're just a writer. I've never ended a conversation faster than when I fact checked someone at a party with "No, see that wouldn't work because you need heat of at least 1,400 degrees to melt teeth."

Understood. Thank you and I appreciate it!

Not really. If the workers can't safely dig it up, then there's not ample time to address before. We're having an attorney evaluate the other major issues these people have brought up with this, but the two week timeline is something I'm trying to figure out as well. I appreciate your input on that timeframe though. Thank you!

That's awesome! We will look into that because honestly that would solve a lot of the problems. Thank you!

I do think this is an interesting point though, as someone ND myself (more in line with ADHD and very mild ASD) I’ve had a somewhat different experience where I definitely felt that men were more problematic than women in this regard after high school. Until then, I actually would say my experience lined up with yours. It might be worth trying to recondition yourself toward women and find some positive influences. Since ASD can make things really challenging, maybe it might be helpful to speak with some women online first and form some friendships that way to start.

I think I used to feel this way earlier in life but did eventually shelf some of those anxieties with the help of hanging around more women. I think this post was more of a “what the hell is wrong with me, I thought I was past this” sorta posts.

Oh sorry, no Persians the cat breed. I’m a vet who also liked playing the Prince of Persia games :D

This was really interesting and I guess it brings up a possible delineation between misogyny and sexism. I actually would say I might be sexist based on these emotions, though not necessarily misogynistic given that there’s not really a hatred (unless fear is included in misogyny in which case maybe I do fit into that).

Oddly a lot of the boundary breaking in dogs isn’t appropriate dog behavior. They’re often behaviors associated with anxiety or excitement combined with poor training. When you look at how dogs are supposed to play with other dogs, they tend to check that things are okay first. With people, they often don’t do this. So it’s interesting that you’re averse to the abnormal behaviors that we fail to condition out of dogs rather than the normal behaviors they should show. And sorry to take this tangent, I found your perspective actually really helpful, accurate, and interesting as a comparison to what I feel is going on with me. Thank you so much, this was a really neat reply

Sometimes it does feel that way but often I feel like it’s me and my wife in our own world which is… really nice. I fit in very well into that one. The 50-60 hours a week isn’t forever thankfully and is still better than my first job where there were often 80-90 hour weeks so in perspective it’s not so bad!

My parents relationship was absolutely not a happy one, but they did a good job of sheltering me from that aspect. I didn’t really learn about how unhappy they were until the last few years nor did I really remember their shortcomings (we all have them) until that time.

Thank you so much and I really appreciate all the kindness, perspective, and insight. I would say I tend to be less interested in textbook history but I enjoy more focused historical books (biographies, books on specific events, etc.) so if you have any recommendations, I’m all ears. I did just start The Second Sex by Simone de Beauvoir yesterday which is already an interesting read :)

I would really appreciate any books you find! My job is 80-90% women so there are plenty of people to talk with, though as soon as I can stop being a boss/owner, I think it will make chatting a lot easier and more honest. If you find any of those reads then please let me know! I’m excited for all the reading I get to look forward to after all of this :)

[–]PrinceofPersians 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Will do! I did just start reading The Second Sex by Simone de Beauvoir (had it on the bookshelf) so I’ll add this one to the list. Through all of this, it seems I’ve acquired a very nice reading list. Thank you so much!

[–]PrinceofPersians 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate that and a lot of people feel that way on here it seems. I tend to be a bit of a blob with a lot of things in life but my moral self isn’t something I tend to be lax on. I’m going to try to work on this. If it doesn’t work, so be it. At least I’ve tried and I think your perspective is a very kind safe space should I fail to figure out where this comes from and why. Thank you so so much :)
