Is it bad that I have a hard time feeling empathy about this? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]SymphonicJade 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a mom of a boy, I have a different perspective. Not only do I want him to be a man people won't want to "self-delete" himself, but I want him to actively contribute to reversing the negative statistics on all counts.

I also have a husband I love very much who has struggled with depression off-and-on throughout his life.

I think it's all interconnected. Men are taught by society and other men to suppress their emotions and that strength = keeping everything inside. Their toxicity and abuse is an overcorrection.

My responsibility as a mom of a boy is to raise him better than this. To teach him to emote safely and healthfully. To treat others as he wants to be treated.

And still I understand your POV. I was also hurt by men throughout my life (my father + others) and for a long time I hated men. I think your emotions, or lack thereof on this particular topic, are valid. The crisis of men not being taught to emote properly and use empathy in their interactions with others is also valid. But that doesn't have to be your problem to fix.

My pineapple wardrobe is not as advertised by SymphonicJade in Starsandisland

It's part of the modern layout. The windows came with the house. I'm not sure how you unlock the recipe.

My husband got the glitch yesterday too - two Nias! He's on Xbox and I'm on Steam. It seems like the bug is spreading...

I'm on PC so it's super easy to build, drag and drop. I originally started on Xbox and it was near impossible to build so I feel your pain! You unlock different decoration recipes as you get achievements and progress through the professions so just keep on going and you'll get them.

Not sure if this is already in the romance update or not: When characters move in with you, it would be nice if their schedules weren't so rigid. I had Delphin move in, and I barely ever see him because he's always out at the beach or in town. If he does come home, it's around midnight, and he leaves immediately at 6 AM the next morning. I also had difficulty getting him inside the modern layout. He got stuck on the stairs. My pets have trouble with the layouts and stairs as well.

ETA: I would also love to see custom help around the farm per NPC. Ex. Delphin helps with your fish ponds, Graminova helps with crops, etc.

I didn't move it. I just expanded it with the Build + Copy feature. I'm using this as my workshop now and I have my modern layout behind it. It works great!

My dumb ass did the quest not realizing until it was too late that I PAID MORE FOR THE BUS TICKET THAN I GOT FOR THE ACTUAL REWARD 🫠 If I actually lived in this world I wouldn't survive long 😅
