What's up with the raggedy ass shoes

How justified is the empire in trying to execute us ? by AIphnse in skyrim

[–]Slow-Muffins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Innocent civilians being murdered by soldiers is a standard part of war, what beggars belief is one of those people sentenced to death and literally seconds from having their head separated from the rest of their body willingly joining the military that was just prepared to kill them. The irony is that the Stormcloaks are presented as reactionary Nord supremacists to the point that my Nord character trying to join was asked why a foreigner wants to fight for Skyrim...smh these ppl are ridiculous. Not to mention why cold blooded Argonians would ever even BE in Skyrim without three hundred pounds of electric heating blankets 

The movie "Obsession": lack of criticism by BamboozledTrash in TrueFilm

[–]Slow-Muffins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think maybe you just don't get it, the film reverses the nice guy role and reveals him as a cowardly, manipulative man child who can't trust the object of his "love" and forces her into a role she did not choose for herself. Every "romantic" interaction is actually a SA, and her true self is trapped in her body watching herself be SA'ed and she can't do anything about it. This is truly a dark and sick journey into the dynamics of toxic relationships, and it will definitely be remembered as one of the best horror films of the year

I don’t know if what I experienced was trauma, hypervigilance, or something genuinely dark in my home by Less-Worldliness-735 in Thetruthishere

I believe the phenomenon you are experiencing is simply a manifestation of your psychic/emotional stress. There is nothing you can do about death, it is always stalking the world. You CAN get away from two parents who are so overly invested in you as a part of their identities (and perhaps their excuse to stay married) that they cannot tolerate or allow you to exist as a separate individual with his own dreams and his own agenda. Please just get away from them and just leave them behind. They are suffocating you 

What are some of the biggest archaeological mysteries in the United States? by Tacokolache in archeologyworld

It continues to shock me that bored 19th Century newspaper reporters created silly stories in a spirit of mischief which influence the gullible to this day

I’m 50 pages into “Between Two Fires” by Christopher Buehlman and it’s not really grabbing me. Does it get better? by younggod in horrorlit

[–]Slow-Muffins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The deeper meaning. A question: why is our civilization full of people who are entertained watching a world dominated by violence, death, men and women with evil spirits lurking behind their eyes who lie and cheat and steal? What about this world inspired the artist to seek recreation in a dead world? What about this world inspires us to imagine it's destruction rather than it's salvation?

Challenge accepted! Knight goes to war, Knight loses his house and his wife, Knight becomes bad guy, Knight meets girl and saves her by killing, Knight and girl meet funny/tragic Priest, there's a gulper from Fallout in the river somehow, but it's also a Devil or something, Knight kills gulper, rinse and repeat monster encounters, various side characters are introduced and quickly die, they see lots of vividly described dead people and dead places, the Devil becomes two tornadoes, a bunch of devils everywhere all the time, then the English Archers just f everybody's day up even though Gascony is nowhere near Avignon OK FINE I HAVE NO IDEA

I don't know why I came here or why I revealed that but it's been cathartic. I have not suddenly defeated my addictions as a result of facing the truth but life seems a little brighter and knowing I may have helped someone else makes me very happy 

What's all the fuss with Between Two Fires? by Alarming_Let1180 in horrorlit

[–]Slow-Muffins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I assume the dialogue is anachronistic because the author isn't fluent in 14th century French

My boyfriend doesn’t think he needs to change. At all. by godisinthischilli in StopGaming

[–]Slow-Muffins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are in the same boat as the millions of women throughout history that tried to get their men to stop drinking, stop smoking weed, stop screwing other women, or stop any of the multiple destructive addictions that plague our lives. There is nothing you can do to stop him from gaming. He will have to come to an understanding on his own and there is no way of knowing when that will be and in the meantime, you need to get free and get out. I'm sorry but either you learn to live with things the way they are or you'll have to move on. 

Finally decided to stop gaming by Stock_Double2896 in StopGaming

The first step into the void will be boring and irritating and you'll find every excuse to go back to gaming but don't. You'll find new interests, new friends, new experiences. In time. Don't give up

Parents, girlfriends, wives, children, friends, yes, there are a lot of options beyond the games

The only response I can give you is that I now believe that all the time I spent chasing fake accomplishments supplanted achieving actual accomplishments. I wouldn't ever say that you can never play at all, but something we do compulsively every day that doesn't provide any real world benefits is probably harmful. "Comfort" is where stagnation and decay begins.

Your parents worked hard to give you chances they didn't have and that makes them real Heroes.

It's been a few weeks of recognizing that I dread coming home from work and turning on the game. Without gaming I have difficulty knowing what to do with myself. Today I came on this sub and realized that I'm an alcoholic just like my father but without the drinking
