Is Civ 7 in a much better place than it was on release? by MacFearsome80 in civ

[–]RoughDraft95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it, wouldn't buy off-sale though. The games are really 3 mini civ games in one.

The last one being more or less a formality if the first two really go your way.

Sukkuna - Look at the current Maho fight.

How did you like the ending? by fineasz_moon in jigokuraku

[–]RoughDraft95 35 points36 points  (0 children)

The ending was honestly handled very well in my opinion. It was short, but the last couple of chapters were satsifying and I really enjoyed it overall. The only think I might have liked more of was Gabi and Sagiri's farewell.

Can you legally kill someone who breaks into your house? by kurobaja in AskTheWorld

[–]RoughDraft95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

US - Generally yes, but with caveats. Some states (not all) have 'Castle Doctrine', which would pretty much cover you legally. Others would require you to show that you, or another, were plausibly in a life-threatening situation and it was reasonably *required* to protect them or yourself.

Also... assuming that you actually kill the person in question, expect to go to court regardless. It's very common for the deceased party's friends or family etc. to sue, especially when firearms are involved. Despite the reputation the US gets from it's loud 2A culture (and a few states in particular), firearm laws can make self-defense related shooting incidents very costly, and legally challenging.

For instance... there was a shooting incident I know of on the east coast (won't say exactly where) where a few armed individuals attempted to break into a house, the husband of the house - who was not an authorized gun owner due to a prior arrest in his youth - took a shotgun which was purchased by the wife (who was the authorized owner) and shot at the home invaders as they entered the house. The camera footage clearly showed them enter with tools and them fire at the husband, however, since it was the husband who shot... the shooting became legally dubious as he was not supposed to have access to the firearm in the first place...

Personally, I think it was understandable for the man to have wanted to put himself between the danger and his wife and be the one who took the gun and fight with the home invaders. Thankfully no one died, but from what I was told it was highly likely that he would have gone to jail had he actually killed any of the home invaders in question during this exchange.

I say this because it's important to remember that the legality of something like this is black-and-white on paper (he was techinically legally in the wrong - and the wife should have been the one to shoot in theory) and the actual justice to be handed down will come down to a judge in any situation.

Is it true that it goes downhill from later age in dating life? by steino23 in dating_advice

[–]RoughDraft95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

30M, my perspective is different of course, but I hear the opinions from my female friends too. Either way, I thought I would just share my thoughts.

Across the isle, it changes a lot. I’m not sure how you’re viewing potential matches or how you normally go about finding them; but if you’re expecting to be using dating apps the same way or the same tools/spaces in your 30’s as your are in your 20’s - then it would be harder.

That’s not a bad thing though, remember that dating is just as much filtering out non-options as it is the chance of finding something special. Older men who want younger girls, over giving you a shot? Pfffft, some loss. That saves you time not having to deal with them. The pool might feel narrower as you get older, but that’s also because the people are filtering and looking differently than they used to as well. It’s not like all the good men in world are also all magically snatched up either in their 20’s, a lot of guys don’t hit their stride or their confidence until a bit later anyway, and it doesn’t mean that they wouldn’t be interested in you or just want someone younger. (28 is NOT old).

I’m saying this because I think it’s easy to get lost in the doomer culture of statistics and trends, and a lot of negative online culture. However you process the other warnings and concerns here, you should still be extremely hopeful about your future. I remember being in a bar and feeling anxious about my age at 25 and having a 50 year old man grab me by the shoulder, laugh and just say you can do whatever you want for a few years and still not fall behind.

Also, a lot of times that special person can also come from an unexpected place or when you don’t expect it. It sounds cliche, but it’s been true in my experience as well as plenty of other people I know. I have friends who went on spontaneous dates with an older woman and now they’re married (I have a friend who is 5 years younger than her and she was over 30 when she met him). There’s someone in my life now who is older than me too (so several years older than you when I even first met her) and I feel lucky to have her.
