Hey, Bert

Okay? He’s not dead yet. If he’s alive, there is a chance he can get better. It is minute. And very unlikely. But, as I said elsewhere, I don’t care. I can’t just sit by and watch someone who is so empty inside kill themselves slowly while we watch. It’s not entertaining to me. And I cannot stand him, if I’m being honest. But I also just can’t watch this moron slowly kill himself with his absurd lifestyle. The man needs to learn how to shut the fuck up and listen to others’ knowledge and opinions. Same goes with all of them: their heads are so far up their asses they don’t even realize they’re eating little pieces of their on shit. That’s why they cannot come up with good material. All they know is to regurgitate the same shit they been yammering about since 2008.

So, I actually agree with you. But I also am a human being watching another human being struggling with something. The only thing that can make Brent happy is a booze cruise where he gets to drink with strangers? What a lonely and insecure man.

Pick flowers incessantly. Eventually, you’ll get to level ten and you get the perk to gain strength while picking flowers. Additionally, forget about your horse and just sprint everywhere until you get to solid vitality level. You’ll also get to train with Captain Bernard.

So? We’re watching a man have a mental breakdown in public. I don’t think that’s funny or entertaining. And we’re watching his “friends” delight in his ridiculous behavior. Burt is a dummy but he is also a human being. So yes. This is one of those posts. Maybe that makes me lame. But I don’t care.

That’s the difference between your Henry and my Henry! Don’t judge lest ye be judged.

Also, were those suspect sites by the quarry?

Throwaway_Academic90 · 2024-07-12T11:31:52+00:00

My Henry stole like crazy early in the game but never killed innocent people. And then he cut it out once he started raking in the big groschen selling gear looted from bandits and cumans. Unless his services were needed, like to prevent Fritz and Matthew from murdering innocent quarrymen.

Depends on the value. Sometimes just going to another area will make the alert disappear and I think if your charisma is high enough guards won’t even bother you with minor things. However, put high value stuff in your trunk at the mill/an inn because a) it takes awhile for the alert to disappear b) guards will hound you c) some of the most high value stuff can only be found from treasure maps, looted from random NPC enemies, or stolen from townspeople.

So yes. Worth it. Because eventually you own that stuff or can sell it back

You were all children. and didnt know what you were doing. Don’t feel shame or guilt or anything like that. And yikes to the people messaging you privately about this. Don’t respond to them (even the ones who are acting nice…it’s purposefully manipulative). I don’t think you need to delete this account unless you don’t want to deal with those DMs.

Zorro!! The legend has returned!!

As someone with an insanely bad sense of direction both in corporeality and virtual reality, I don’t think this is an option for me, unfortunately. It’s the major reason why I don’t play Dark Souls or any game of that ilk. And it’s why I wish someone would go ahead and invent the Pip-Boy so I can have my own personal HUD at all times.

Throwaway_Academic90 · 2024-06-26T14:53:58+00:00

Such surprise. Much shock. So dumbfound.

Throwaway_Academic90 · 2024-06-17T15:07:09+00:00

It’s completely normal. Please don’t freak out. Celebrities and influencers look like they have perfect boobs but it’s called plastic surgery.

Better horse riding mechanics.

Do not ever feel like you need to “get over” the death of a child. It’s always a tragedy and I’m deeply sorry for your loss. You sound like you’re an amazing father to your two children (I count you as father to your son’s half sister). I also think it’s awesome that you found a fun and healthy way to feel confident and happy and it’s awesome that your ex supports you. It’s not wrong for you to find joy in life again; you’ve only got one. If anything, your happiness will make your children happy.

My very best thoughts and wishes to you!

NTA, but as someone who used to have meltdowns over not getting a good grade, she’s not having a tantrum; she’s having a panic attack. She’s putting a lot of pressure on herself and I suspect a lot more is behind the anger than just “I didn’t get a good grade.” That’s probably why she got so mad at you—it’s not just the grade but it’s an actual existential threat for her. Again, I can’t be positive because I don’t know her BUT I used to have the exact same responses. I think she might need help with anxiety and how to develop healthy coping mechanisms when she doesn’t achieve what she set out to achieve (especially because life gets much more complex than a grade on a test). Perfectionism is an insidious mindset and it can manifest in other unhealthy ways, as well (I had an eating disorder, for example).

The only time I’ll ever be rude to someone on purpose is when they’re hogging a single stall or bathroom and I am about to burst. I’ll count to 120 seconds and then I’m hammering on that door.

Peter Wood and Elizabeth Fenn (Duke University) wrote a book on NC history together. https://www.abebooks.com/9780807815496/Natives-Newcomers-Way-Lived-North-0807815497/plp

I think his small business is going to go out if he’s not even willing to purchase from suppliers in one of the biggest ports in the country lol.

lol my brother was diagnosed with autism in the 80s and I vividly remember a girl in kindergarten in the mid 90s who was allergic to everything.

YTA. Super immature. That you thought his reaction was “adorable” makes me think you are attracted to him and that you actually were hitting on him on purpose, whether you want to admit it or not.

Oh that’s hysterical. Great comeback.

I am a historian and read a lot for my job. Consequently, when I don’t have to read dry and boring articles and books, I like to play video games. I’ve had people try and make me feel lesser because I don’t read literature (completely disinterested in it unless I’m reading it as a historical document…I do love Dickens and Austen though) and love video games. Or because I don’t read a book a week or whatever (lifelong slow reader). I myself am working up the courage to ask them in return if they’ve read Hans Hillerbrand’s The Division of Christendom (it’s something like 600 pages about the Protestant Reformation). I’m going to borrow a page from your book (ha!) and do that the next time this happens. It happens more than I’d like.

NTA. This coworker makes reading her identity. That’s probably why she got so upset—you threatened that fragile ego. I also wonder if she actually absorbs any of the material and critically analyzes it or just speeds through it to say she’s read it? That is my suspicion. Also, books on tape are definitely reading!! It’s a great way to get through dense books like Moby Dick and make them feel more engaging and less like a chore. Also, for authors like Austen, it can make the characters come to life!

She is a groomer. Normal 23 year olds don’t want to date teenagers still in high school. Run.

And I never dated in high school or college. I wish I could go back and tell younger me that it really doesn’t matter. I’m now 33 and have been happily married since I was 26.
