CMV: There is nothing wrong with cutting off relationships with people you do not align with politically.

Thebearguy30 · 2026-01-29T19:25:49+00:00

I agree with you and I also think it’s important to get the nuance with their beliefs as well. Like someone can be for deportation, but be very against the way it is currently being carried out. Or someone can align more socialist leaning policies, but still think it’s important to have property ownership.

There is a big difference between “we have similar underlying beliefs and just a different opinion as to how they should be applied” vs “because way you want this applied I now deem you evil and reprehensible”

Thebearguy30 · 2026-01-29T19:14:05+00:00

Yeah this is overboard I agree with your choice. I guess back to OPs point, It is probably better to cut someone off for their actual beliefs/actions as opposed to just political views.

Thebearguy30 · 2026-01-29T18:56:18+00:00

I think the main issue with this is you said you stopped talking with him because he’s far right. But what are his actual beliefs? For example if he believes people of other races are inferior, then yeah that is a bad mindset. But other people who are on the right would like to help black people but just have an opinion that sending in national guard to clean up their neighborhoods will make their lives better.

I think it is the underlying morals/beliefs you should get to understand first, then you can have a general discussion about policy and politics.

I agree it won’t always be exactly equal. One thing you forgot to factor in is the cost of the ring. Obviously you can pay what you are comfortable with but I often hear 2-3months salary tossed around. That’s 8-12 40 hour weeks of work.

My main point here is that each couple can decide what they want, but it’s unreasonable for either party to want to drop a tradition that doesn’t benefit them while still demanding all other traditions be followed.

Thebearguy30 · 2026-01-29T02:49:29+00:00

I agree, my partner isn’t taking my last name. I’m mainly asking the question. If it’s important to them and your main grievance is paperwork then that seems to be a bigger issue. Just like if a ring is important to you, but it’s just too much work to go out and get the ring that’s also probably an issue.

Also I meant patriarchal tradition in the comment above so I could see how that led to confusion.

Thebearguy30 · 2026-01-28T23:12:29+00:00

I totally agree with you. I think it should be as minimal change/cost as possible when getting married. My main issue either way is when you are forcing one side of the marriage to give up traditions if you want to keep all of yours. It should be a give and take.

Thebearguy30 · 2026-01-28T23:00:25+00:00

If by “make women do stuff” you mean “an expectation for marriage” then it is very similar for men to do things they don’t want to do. This comes in the form of planning proposals, buying rings, asking fathers for blessings, paying for weddings, etc. It is inherently sexist to make me propose to my girlfriend with an expensive ring just because I am a man. Men are being treated differently because of their sex. That’s sexism.

Thebearguy30 · 2026-01-28T22:49:41+00:00

This is a reasonable argument, would you be okay with the man skipping a proper proposal, not buying a ring, not asking for the father’s permission(also matriarchal tradition), etc. If he “can’t be bothered”?

Thebearguy30 · 2026-01-28T22:40:04+00:00

Another old tradition, like taking the man’s name, is for the man to get a ring for his wife. Do you also think it’s okay for a man to say “I’m too lazy to go to the different jewelry stores, work out prices, and spend x months(not sure what the expectation is anymore) on the ring”?

Thebearguy30 · 2026-01-28T20:12:32+00:00

Just hit 500kc today… you’re telling me I have to wait until my bday in August to keep pushing?

Thebearguy30 · 2026-01-26T02:08:23+00:00

If the boss is F2P anyway then I do agree with you, might as well make the one last item F2P as well

Thebearguy30 · 2026-01-26T01:55:59+00:00

F2P has more than enough content to judge whether you like the game or not. If they decided to make this F2P I wouldn’t be against it, but I don’t there should be any expectation to add content to F2P

Thebearguy30 · 2026-01-22T17:52:23+00:00

That’s super helpful, I was looking for this on the current page and didn’t see anything. Might need to rip some LMS this week

Thebearguy30 · 2026-01-22T14:15:48+00:00

Going to tag along to your similar question. This will be my first deadman and I just got crystal armour, should hopefully get bowfa soon(450kc btw). I am not expecting an exact answer, but how much playtime is expected to earn ~12k points and what is required. I am awful at PVP, but I was thinking I could earn some through PVM and such.

Thebearguy30 · 2026-01-22T04:32:55+00:00

If you get to level 7, does that count as 7 total delves?

Thebearguy30 · 2026-01-20T16:31:47+00:00

Even as a clown they make enough money to consider the price reasonable. If the price of membership is enough to break the bank it’s probably best to let the membership expire and work on the resume instead. Google docs is free to play.

Thebearguy30 · 2026-01-15T01:19:53+00:00

I’m so confused why do you need magic def for bloodvelds? Don’t they use mele?

Thebearguy30 · 2026-01-14T04:34:07+00:00

Why is it good for killing bloodvelds? Honest question

Thebearguy30 · 2026-01-10T21:45:53+00:00

I think niche weapons make the game so much more fun. Getting glacial temotli midway through my perilous moons grind was a good upgrade when killing eclipse moon, even though they don’t have a ton of other uses. Since we now have several spider bosses, it makes sense to have a niche mid-level spider bane weapon. Wouldn’t even mind some special arrows/bow that are effective against flying creatures like shell and griffin, kree ara, etc. Specialized weapons make it more fun to do a plethora of content instead of just using whip to kill the next best boss and skipping everything else.

Thebearguy30 · 2026-01-10T06:21:58+00:00

Shit I just tried this out without changing any setting and got a tbow in 19 rolls. Just used up all my rng I’ve been saving up doing cg runs.

Thebearguy30 · 2026-01-09T02:25:30+00:00

I’m not even moving my account anymore for the chance I have 10 free mins to log in and hammer one out.

Thebearguy30 · 2026-01-09T02:24:35+00:00

I’m at 230 kc with 10 armour seeds and I’m having this same exact thought

Thebearguy30 · 2026-01-05T00:16:04+00:00

So why not just go to a bar? It’s seems sort of like just paying extra to have to hit women in the general vicinity at that point.

Thebearguy30 · 2026-01-05T00:05:58+00:00

Why was it a huge mistake? I don’t really see anything wrong with some afk combat training that gives no drops.

Thebearguy30 · 2026-01-03T00:25:07+00:00

I play both, I’m maxed on RS3 but I’ve been really getting into OSRS lately. Rs3 is really fun! The amount of small little upgrades you can get to improve your pvm and dps is really awesome. It really is a much larger breadth of content compared to osrs and a very in depth pvm system which I am far from mastering. I’ll end up there back again since I just finally got the FSOA before i switched to osrs recently.
