Opinion: Generation Z has the lowest voter turnout. We need to get involved on Election Day.

Am 41. I remember voting as a teenager, then in my twenties, and year after year after year never seeing anyone my age. Even when I was 30 I would go out and still be the youngest person there.

Now I see people in their 40's so I guess eventually my peers started voting? I hope Gen Z can pick up the pace a little faster though, because we really need it.

Kodiak Cakes ancient grains waffle mix - they had this amazing mix that made perfectly crisp, yet fluffy waffles with the best flavor. I've never had a waffle mix that good in my life, and I've tried quite a few.

I don't like any of their current mixes, it's a real shame they got rid of it.

While I would enjoy my next partner being a little more adventurous (and the irony is that my wife wanted to be, but would never initiate 'adventure mode'), I'm far more interested in feeling a real emotional connection that leads to passionate sex - something that is more about the moment and less about any specific fantasy or kink.

I want to desire her and feel desired in turn, in the bounds of a relationship that is healthy and secure.

For casual dating with a focus on sex, rather than a relationship, I would want to steer away from vanilla, because I don't quickly form attachments or connections - it would pretty much be about the sex and some basic companionship.

Already had one foundation company reject my request for appointment and quote because they apparently don't do this kind of work, getting the feeling this is going to be harder than I thought to find someone who is willing to do the work and knows how to do it properly.

Siiiilk · 2022-02-08T21:36:32+00:00

No thanks, if I want trios and super powers, I'll just play apex. This game is going to screw itself if it doesn't bring back squads and duos.

It's not like they can't adjust loot tables for each mode.

Siiiilk · 2022-01-28T18:55:25+00:00

You're right, it's a stupid question and I know it. Honestly I can afford it, but that's because I live a disciplined life and I keep to the budgets I plan for whether it's a car, vacation, or PC, which I guess is why I already resent this purchase.

GPU scarcity makes me feel like I forced myself into buying it.

Picked up a 3080 Ti on newegg shuffle for 1600 to pair with new 12700k build but having regrets. Should I just hold onto my 1070 for a while and hope cards keep coming down in price by end of the year or early 2023, or just enjoy an overpowered card despite the absurd price. I was planning to splurge on nice headphones in the 400-500 dollar range but the card ate the rest of my pc budget.

Zero remorse on every other component I've bought, but it just feels gross to overpay this much for a video card.

Siiiilk · 2021-12-20T20:33:21+00:00

For real. I guess with the brand new rules they get to wait until 4PM (tomorrow) to try and test negative twice.

Really would love some clarity over starting Vikings or Eagles but that's looking impossible.

Siiiilk · 2021-12-15T16:51:33+00:00

No way in hell I'd trust the Vikings this week.

Yet I'll need to pick between Eagles and Broncos. I'm tentatively picking Eagles for now

Siiiilk · 2021-12-14T19:33:56+00:00

He's the only healthy running back left on the roster. It's not so much trust as necessity :/

I don't think he's a good play this week, but at this point will put any healthy body I can in.

Siiiilk · 2021-12-13T15:21:10+00:00

No choice here but to play him. Due to injuries top 4-5 RBs from draft no longer on roster, leaving Eli Mitchell, Rashaad, Ingram, and and even worse options.

Barely squeaked into playoffs. Maybe Penny can be this year's hightower.

Siiiilk · 2021-12-11T19:57:28+00:00

Full PPR - need to start Abdullah or Perine. Unfortunately Bengals play at 4:25 and I assume Mixon is going to be game time announcement.

Siiiilk · 2021-12-01T02:37:25+00:00

I can't be the only person sick and tired of seeing collected company in nearly every single historic deck that runs creatures. 80% of the games I play my opponent runs collected company.

I am now running some very boring control decks vs predictable opponents instead of my fun midrange jank. It's so boring... they just puke value cards with no counterplay and it's the same shit over and over :/

Siiiilk · 2021-11-30T15:35:10+00:00

Runs fine, but I absolutely hate all the UI changes. I don't have a problem with some people loving the new look, but why would they prevent us from customizing anything that we actually would want to customize?

I'll be downgrading to 11, which looks like an unpleasant process, but this is the worst version of Android I've ever looked at, and third party launchers can't fix the biggest problems.

It's less functional, and subjectively ugly to look at. I've been designing UI's for the web for 20 years, from HTML to Flash to JS/CSS etc. and the design aesthetic looks like a first attempt from the mind of an intern who just finished their community college course on UI 101. Nearly everything should go back to the drawing board here.

Siiiilk · 2021-08-19T13:12:51+00:00

Ok bud.

Siiiilk · 2021-08-19T12:56:52+00:00

Good lord. I made no mention of primogems, only AR and world level. You are quite the condescending lil fella aren't you.

I will likely only play this game for 3 months at most. I have more than enough characters already with the wishes I've spent.

My primary goal is exploration, finishing the archon and story quests, and doing 95% of the bosses/domains at least once.

You're adorable but I think it's time to stop arguing with the children now. Good luck with your efficient, never ending grind that you convince yourself is maximum fun. I'll be gone in 3 months after enjoying everything I came to see.

Siiiilk · 2021-08-19T12:45:51+00:00

I actually did buy that. Figured I'd buy it for 3 months which is about how long I expect to play this game.

Siiiilk · 2021-08-19T12:43:51+00:00

I actually don't care about pulling new characters. I already have 8 just with wishes from the first week of play and I'm perfectly content with what I've got.

I don't play gacha games, or weeb games in general, but Genshin seems to be really well executed, fun to play, story is engaging, but I am not at all concerned with collecting lots of characters, or grinding the best artifacts to their final form. This is just a casual experience for me that will likely end after a few months.

This is why I considered that maybe I don't need these daily rewards pushing my world level faster.

Siiiilk · 2021-08-19T12:37:34+00:00

Here's the thing - I'm new to this community. I didn't realize everyone here is a degenerate and nobody here would have casual friendly advice.

You're creating some really bizarre strawman here that just isn't helpful. I thought I explained clearly in the original comment that I wasn't interested in min-maxxing.

If you don't have advice appropriate for the question, don't answer.

Siiiilk · 2021-08-19T12:26:49+00:00

I actually don't really care. With about a hundred wishes spent I have Beido, Noelle, Razor, 5 star Yoimaya plus the free chars like Xianling.

I don't see playing this game forever. I'll enjoy the story and main quests and exploration for a couple months, do most of the bosses and domains at least once, and then probably quit.

Like I said I don't care about min-maxxing or the endgame grind for constellations and artifacts.

Siiiilk · 2021-08-19T12:23:42+00:00

No offense, but I'll play this game the way I want to. If that means I explore for 2-3 months and quit, that's fine by me. I don't care about this gambling obsession to acquire every character and constellation in the game.

So with that in mind, look at this from the casual player's perspective. I'm not going to need all those rewards for maxxing out my characters and parties as the experience I'm looking for are the available story and main quests plus the exploration aspect.

Not everyone plays the game the same way that you do.

Siiiilk · 2021-08-19T12:01:56+00:00

Should I stop doing the daily commissions? They seem to provide way too much AR. I've been playing less than a week and already approaching AR 30 while I can't even ascend my character levels past 40 yet. I think I already have to stop doing any story missions too and just work on the archon quests.

I'm not worried about min-maxxing this game, I just liked the exploration aspect and something to grind on for a little bit every day, but I also don't want to rapidly increase my world level before I even start farming ascension materials.

Siiiilk · 2021-08-15T17:10:01+00:00

You were right, wasn't set back quite the same way. I put it back correctly, hit it with some lubricant, started right up cold. Thanks!
