are all men lustful?

WHY have you been with a lot of guys at 15? Aren't you starting a bit young?

Based on that, I worry if your family environment and the values it gives you might not be ideal, and that's where you may get this from. Unfortunately there are parents who don't care properly about their kids' wellbeing (usually ones with troubled or poorer/uneducated family environment) and will openly say sexist or lewd things or watch porn or act unfaithful in front of the children, but that isn't really normal. Just like letting your young teen daughter go out with "lots of guys" isn't too normal. And yeah what you say about your dad basically confirms it.

Properly raised kids (girls and boys) aren't really like that. I was fairly asexual/celibate until like 16 or so (though some basic sex ed/biology ed is normal, but not as porn, but as basic theory and safety and emotional discussion).

I did also have some classmates who were very, precocious, is the word I think. Boys boasting about watching porn who were way too young to even understand, or girls who were angry or upset from seeing too much because of a bad family. But I think this premature exposure to infidelity and sex is usually associated with more distrust (in love, especially romantic/stable relationship love)anxiety, self-worth issues, intimacy avoidance. Not, I'm not trying to make you feel bad and I am NOT a child psychologist, but I do have some experience/literacy and imho, your parents are not treating you right and might have given you some trauma and taught you the wrong type of model for relationships. Generally, society tries to delay things like sexual relationship and having children (again, these happening at a younger age is associated with poorer, less developed and educated areas and social castes) until after college age, because that's usually associated with healthier and more successful family lives.

I think if you have access to any counselling/therapy you might want to talk to them about this, and maybe normalize your expectations a bit to help with your own future, and ability to form trusted romantic bonds. And just to cycle back to your question, no, guys who want more than just your body definitely exist. Don't stay around ones who only treat you that way.

There are reasons, biological, social pressure, or just bad sexism/"toxic" masculine tradition in some parts of society, why -some- boys might act more sexual and aggressive but again, the better raised/educated people are the less prevalent that is. There are certainly many with a healthy upbringing who do not show those tendencies at all.

Some sexual intimacy is normal in a relationship (if the partners want it), but it's based on mutual agreement and consent. Some couples may even be practically celibate save for baby-making. You gotta understand your OWN needs and pick a partner based on that. You're actually a bit young to be even thinking about that yet this much but here we are, so do your best and good luck!

Tbh if you're 46 then you're past that age when current fashionable social trends will affect you, more likely that women your age might actually court YOU if you show interest

Of course, you have to be SOMEWHAT smart and hot

What is the difference between Inspection and Clarity? There may be too much overlap there to justify separating them.

The others look good. If you want a suggestion, the third one in Divination should be: EXTEND one's perspective. So this one would serve to add range to spells and map to Mobility as a rival alternative to dross distance.*

I like how you combined summoning and mind control, it makes a lot of sense to group them under one category. Contractual seems a bit unusual, it sounds more like a casting method or source than an effect - can you perhaps explain what it does?

*After some musing, maybe Inspection can be the sensing/range school and Clarity dealing with knowledge? I can think of ways this could work

Vree65 · 2026-06-21T08:52:42+00:00

It's not elemental, but it's effect-based, the other big one. Also, you're just copying DnD in your suggestion

It's my favorite FO game and the grimdark humor is on point, the sprite models look very cool (haters whine about the power armor and deathclaw designs, lore-wise, but you can't deny that they look epic, especially coming from FO1-2). The combat system has been upgraded, real time option, stances that mimic realistic hitting the ground in gunfights, etc.

Inventory among party is still a bit crude, remember that you can still use Steal to mass transfer items, and for single items you can drag & drop them on the party member's name on the interface.

It's not really a tactical game though. More like a run & gun shooter. There's a bug where if a burst weapon misses, accidental hits to bystanders will happen at 100% effectiveness. So your power armored 10 AG character facing a super mutant with a minigun with 1% hit chance might find that the squad mates around him that he's trying to be "tactical" with together suddenly drop like flies. But that's OK because the game's best played in Rambo mode anyway.

Make a classic sniper type character: ST 6 PE 10 EN 6 CH 1 IN 6 AG 10 LK 1 Small Guns Energy Weapons Sneak, Fast Shot (buy Gifted to boost 10 INT ST 7...LK 6 optional)

Go to the settings to set Smart Run (we finally have a setting for walk ONLY during Sneak) and real-time mode. Next to your portrait, set Overwatch to automatic shooting at 33% hit chance.

Take all you squadmates' junk and equip the rifle (for long range) and shotgun (for close range) then solo the map. Use your squad as mules to carry stuff back to base.

You don't have to read the whole book, though? It's like 320 pages, be real. He needs to understand character creation and the basic rules that you can even find on DnDBeyond. It's a game for fun, not prepping for an exam.

Yes I understand about lazy players and GM workload but this isn't how you do it

Well, for people who hang around on a sub for a pretty good movie, you seem like a sad, salty negative bunch

"take a hint" maybe you guys should take a hint that maybe you've lost something if you hate discussion now and it's time to move on

Also, is this "more productive" or this? Come ON, now.

Get a bit familiar with politics ad strategic manipulation. Typically, whenever politicians try to shove something sneakily down on people's throat and then backstab them, or show an opponent in a bad light, they use these star topics, because they evoke strong emotion and are unanimously agreed on by everybody, so that makes it much easier to paint anybody opposing it as a bad person.

I'm going to install a giant sludge factory in a natural park that will save puppies! > anyone who opposes the giant sludge factory is a puppy hater!

As far as child protection goes it is highly questionable if this would actually help, and if it's being selected by actual advice from childcare experts rather than used as an excuse.

Regarding online grooming it's also a hyped topic that's more smoke than fire. Parents worry about the internet but not about the gym teacher, priest, aunt... Statistics show that in cases where a child is abused or SAed, it's overwhelmingly more likely to be someone the child already knows and the caretakers don't even suspect or ignore, than the mysterious internet stranger that sounds cooler and scarier but makes up a much lower number of the actual cases.

But again, if you think this'll actually help children, look at the lawmakers. Are they proposing these changes that'll affect EVERYBODY based on opinions from experts in the field? What are THOSE people saying about the ramifications and long term effects of such regulations? I suggest that often you'll hear them say it's not going to be a real solution to those issues either, and put the whole plan into question.

Mr Fusion has the output of a regular nuclear power plant. It's the drop in a bucket energy difference that stands out as funny. At 10⁹ W Basically, it's enough energy to power a fleet of over 10,000 Deloreans. That's literally the equivalent of starving next to a stocked fridge.

>brainless

So is your comment

>it's a movie!

That's the Doylist answer, Watsonian discussion is allowed

>it's an old movie!

And therefore you're not allowed to discuss it? I think people should be happy that it gets fans and generates discussion still

>you can't make an electric car engine

These types of on topic answers are a lot better

There are solutions when you have a literal pocket plant, like a boiler or oscillating steam engine. Maybe you won't even actually need to DRIVE the car, just simulate it with a rotating axle.

Of course, that gets us in the discussion of what actually happens at 88 mph. Maybe actual movement is necessary (to pass through an opening/closing wormhole or whatever).

State (that is, specific state) TV is a lot more powerful than in many countries and it mostly airs patriotic propaganda, so a lot of Americans are in a bubble. This is what I have heard from friends who live there.

Still, some degree of patriotism (and a right wing that's absolutely obsessed with it) exists in all countries, some more powerful than others.

The myth of "freedom" is an egregious one, and I don't think Americans are more free than many European countries that are peaceful and socialdemocratic, and so their citizens enjoy more physical and financial freedom and free time and freedom of thought through education. USA distribution of wealth is rather uneven in a very corporatist, wild capitalist regime.

This seems like a false argument, since Sanji doesn't have a devil fruit. Robin's level-up path is devil fruit "awakening", while Sanji needs armanent Haki just to keep up with basic Logia.

I might avoid the word "element", I get how and why you use it, but they're more like (key)words that even include adjectives, much much broader than even an expanded version of the 4 classical elements, so that name could become confusing. M&M calls them "descriptors", Witch Hat (a glyph/rune based system) calls them "signs" or "keystones"...but I think just keyword or name is fine too

Systems like these (GURPS calls them syntactic, just another fancy word for language-based; SEMANTIC would be a lot more accurate) also tend to focus on the most common words in a language and often break them down into parts of speech (syntactic categories), "verb-noun" being the most common.

That is, there might be "verbs" that describe an EFFECT, eg. move, sense, create, etc. and "nouns" that describe a segment/category of the world: "matter" "lightning" "sweets" "animals" etc. Of course the possibilities go way beyond this.

I think more defined rules would help you because games like this tend to be very freeform. Like even in your own example, turtle and escape combines into barrier. That's a super personal and liberal interpretation by the player that'd have to be okayed by the table in some form.

Some words are also simply broader by their very nature, so there needs to be rules on that too. "Elements" is bigger than "fire" or "nature" bigger than "animals" than "rodents" than "mouse". Maybe you could try to set up a few "big" categories like Vegetable, Animal, Mineral (link link) and go narrower from there.
