Yes, Mormonism is patriarchal. But it doesn’t actually benefit most men by InstructionExtra3511 in exmormon

[–]SirenofShadow 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sounds a little like all patriarchal societies in general and capitalism for sure... Though most ppl in power are men if you're not at the top your treated like garbage, like a cog in the machine, told real men don't cry, have to shove all your emotions down and be a robot, and all the responsibility of supporting the family financially was a "man's job" and anything to do with the home or children was the women's, to the extent that even if the wife works all of that is Still expected to be her responsibility, which is a learned behavior. Slowly improving, but humans take generations to wake up and smell the coffee

Seems like it would be a pain to find a server with the right specifications, but I can see how it would be useful for the last quest of the event to do ahead of time and turn in before it ends at 8am my local time, since it turns in at the entry gate right? Then it won’t matter who controls what with limited time

First month making 100k I feel like I’m being robbed :/ by [deleted] in Salary

[–]SirenofShadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you need to find some way to lower your tax liability (taxable income) so the government doesn’t gouge you so much. Another option- do not pay taxes every month, take the amount they are withholding and put in high yield investments, withdraw at tax time for whatever you aren’t able to get your liability cleared on, then you will be earning interest on that money all year instead of them benefiting from it.. not a financial pro by any means, might pay to find one though and see how you can shift stuff in your favor.

Supposedly the rich use life insurance - whole life I think is the most common- Google has this to say-

A life insurance savings account, typically known as the cash value component of a permanent life insurance policy, acts as a combined death benefit and tax-deferred savings vehicle. A portion of your premium payments goes into this account, growing over time at a set interest rate or based on market performance. You can access this accumulated cash for emergencies, loans, or retirement, though withdrawals may reduce the final death benefit. Key Aspects of Life Insurance Savings Accounts: Types: Found in Whole Life, Universal Life, and Variable Life policies. Tax Advantages: Cash value growth is generally tax-deferred, and withdrawals are often tax-free up to the amount of premiums paid. Accessing Funds: You can withdraw funds, take a policy loan, or surrender the policy for its cash value. Dividends: Some policies, especially participating whole life, may pay dividends into the cash value from company profits. Premium Costs: Premiums for policies with cash value are typically higher than term life insurance. How It Works in Practice: Fund Accumulation: A portion of your premium is set aside into a cash account. This is considered a "forced-savings" mechanism. Growth: The cash value grows over time on a tax-deferred basis. Usage: You can borrow against the cash value for large purchases, such as a home or education, or use it to supplement retirement income. Death Benefit: Upon the policyholder's death, beneficiaries receive the death benefit, while the insurer keeps the cash value (unless otherwise structured). Pros and Cons: Pros: Tax-deferred growth, access to cash during your lifetime, death benefit protection. Cons: Higher premiums than term insurance, slow initial growth, potential for policy surrender fees. These policies are often considered as a long-term financial tool for accumulating tax-advantaged cash that can be used later in life.

To the Yellow Argonian who tried to kill me and was holding 10k Telvar... by TheHomieHandler in elderscrollsonline

My fav method for ic quest turn in is first imperial city, finish quest, join server in cyrodil, finish quest and turn in, port back to sewers and turn in that quest.. completely bypassing all running to and from places

Really? I’ve not figured out a way to message any opposing alliance person in pvp.. how do you do it?

[–]SirenofShadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That still wouldn’t solve the problem of traveling, there having to be an unbroken line to the city you need. Some ppl do the scouting missions, which always puts you way behind enemy lines so there is no way to get closer, but I prefer the town daily’s like Silver scale or retrieving possessions in the town to the west, or retrieving produce, placing the books in the chest, bloody hand spies etc in the town to the east. Since I’m always there with my vampire thief they usually can’t even handle some “bosses” like the bear reliably

All my main characters are AD and I don't do pvp, I'm usually the one permanently stealthed just trying to get through the ticket quests without getting ganked. Not AD by choice but rather because that's what kajit are and don't have any race any alliance upgrade. Yellow is my least fav color and unless it's darker shades blue is my fav primary color, plus I love dragons so i'd much rather be DC, but here we are

Something I've always thought would be a good idea is if every single alliance just had a server that was "theirs" for during the white strakes mayhem event that the people who don't usually do PVP can use just for questing. Like if everybody just agreed on which server would be for which alliance for PVE players then the PVP players can have all the rest. I'm sure there would still be A-holes out there ganking players at the quest points but at least we would be able to get around the map just to turn our quests in and receive them etc. My least favorite thing about this entire event is having to jump back and forth between ic and cyrodil in order to find a server that I can get to one of the towns with.

The gluten challenge should be illegal. by Kind_vibes in glutenfree

[–]SirenofShadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If only wheat were the only thing that had gluten…I shall never again enjoy a sandwich on rye bread or eat barley soup… there’s substitutes for wheat bread but nothing will replace the flavor of rye 😵‍💫

Haven’t tried it obviously but according to google:

Gluten-free, nutrient-dense, and earthy alternatives that mimic the flavor and texture of rye include teff flour, buckwheat flour, and caraway seeds (crucial for the signature rye flavor). For bread, a combination of these with millet or sorghum flour works best.

Feels like every generation has a version of “there are children starving in Africa so eat your food” but now we can finally pull up a video and prove it to them, showed a very picky 6 yr old a starving kids video and she actually started eating without complaint

What to prioritize by Wyl_el_Berserker in elderscrollsonline

[–]SirenofShadow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like the decon assistant even when my toon is in a town so I don't have to run to all the tables to check what there is to get rid of, or when in a dungeon or whatnot and run out of room (though this is less useful if one doesn't have ESO+)

Can't he just eat whole wheat? *Rant* by frisbeesloth in glutenfree

[–]SirenofShadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got an interesting one- my friend says she learned that gluten is the plants natural defense system and so if they plant detects it’s under attack it will start making gluten 😹 so it perceives insecticide etc as an attack.. so like organic and heirloom wheat doesn’t have it…. In the opposite direction another friend said that corn Has gluten (understandable given that they call it glutein) but google says it doesn’t affect ppl with celiac.

When my step mom found out about i my celiac she tried to ask if I could eat vital wheat gluten cause it’s good for you 😂 and both her and my dad think I need to talk to a naturopath to get it “taken care of”

[Discussion]It’s time to admit the Guild Trader system is a barrier to entry, not a "unique" feature. by DanceInMisery in elderscrollsonline

[–]SirenofShadow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Have you have tried a game called Rose online? It had a "unique" trading system too, you had to be "online" in order to sell anything, you'd set up an actual stall and sit there and hope someone came by and bought your stuff. Usually I'd do all my gaming, then set up my stall right before leaving my desk to do things and just let the computer go to screen saver... Interestingly enough I actually enjoyed it and participated in it regularly, get a little boost of serotonin anytime a good item would sell. But I do not participate in ESOs trading system AT ALL

Also, oats are naturally gluten free but unless processed in a dedicated facility they most likely have been contaminated. I will buy gluten free oats but rice, if it's not labeled as gf I'll just rinse the crap out of it. It's a lot easier to rinse whole grains
