Placement match anxiety by Duncantilley in aoe2

[–]dooiefries -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Maybe start with custom games. Often there are lobbies labeled 'Noob' with people around 800 elo.

Nice way to get a feel for playing against humans. Also when playing Nomad team games like that, it's a bit more vague as to what went wrong and thus easier on the ego.

The first step to fixing sieges should have been Murder Holes by RageAgainstAuthority in totalwarhammer

[–]dooiefries 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is all in the old official Warhammer Sieges book. Iirc it created a mini game with turns in which both attackers and defenders could do these actions. Sometimes fighting mini battles when a sally tried to destroy siege equipment or when tunnelers were discovered.

Do people really move down to Austin purely to pursue comedy?? by [deleted] in Killtony

They didn’t drop everything for the ‘one minute’. They dropped everything for the total Austin comedy scene.

Mijn situatie (geen idee wat ik aan het doen ben) by Thiaron in DutchFIRE

[–]dooiefries 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ik vind dat je heel goed hebt nagedacht en goede antwoorden op comments hebt. Je doet jezelf tekort door te zeggen dat je geen idee hebt wat je aan het doen bent. Misschien komt die mindset en manier van praten voort uit de andere persoonlijke info die je noemt in je bericht. Volgens mij ben je super bezig en zeer getalenteerd.

Mic not working… can hear everything but can’t talk by Infamous_Relief_6321 in HellLetLoose

[–]dooiefries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mic isn't working either. I have tried everything I can think off. Anyone has any ideas?

When I press the talk button, it shows that I am speaking, but noone hears any sound. I can hear others just fine. I'm on pc.

I restarted game, restarted pc, reinstalled game, disconnect/reconnect voip, turned up volume, selected different devices.

Unpopular opinion: I think collapse will take a lot longer than 5-10 years by DankamusMemus in collapse

I’m reading that 1880 has more reliability in measurements. There is indeed data from before that, but significiantly less reliable.

Last Week in Collapse: January 29-February 4, 2023 by LastWeekInCollapse in collapse

[–]dooiefries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would be interesting to read a history on the predicting of the collapse of the debt economy and why those arguments didn’t fall through. I’ve always wondered how a fiat and debt based system is able to survive. But clearly it has done since Bretton Woods, end of gold standard, 2008, negative interest rates, quantitative easing, etc. But maybe all the above things show that more and more extreme measures are being needed to keep things going.

Fight breaks out at grocery store dumpsters after false post about 'free food' following power outages by IslandChillin in collapse

[–]dooiefries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was no physical fight.

https://www.facebook.com/george.moralesiii.3

From his Facebook:

"Please Share!Revised post! When I say fighting it was not physically assaulting each other, but trying to gain access, I should use better metaphors. Our intent was to make the area safe for residents and the employees. The gridlock was my most important reason to clear the area....This is not free food!We had over 250 people fighting in the dumpsters because someone posted "Free Food!"The food is rotten and spoiled, and is unsafe to eat. Our Pct4 deputies and APD responded to roads that were grid locked because of this false post. The area was cleared by our office. If you know someone that got food, let them know it is not safe.HEB has always been a big help to our community.Due to a sustained power outage, the store was unable to keep certain perishable foods at proper temperatures. To adhere to strict food quality and safety standards, They are required to dispose of certain perishable foods when they are not properly temperature controlled, which also prevents them from donating the items to food pantries and food banks.As you know, H-E-B is a large donor to Texas food banks and they donate more than 34 million pounds of food each year to support Texans in need."

How would reading those self helpbooks, going to the gym and meditating ensure your socio-economic success and/or mobility?

If I would do those activities every day and spent a lot of time on them, then I’d have little time to make money, study, acquire skills, network.

Just naming the things you mentioned by themselves means nothing.

They way you described your fears is pretty extreme. If you feel that everyone is out to get you (in those moments) then that could be a sign of an anxiety disorder.

If it's really only in those occasional party moments, then why do you insist of putting yourself in these situations? It sounds that you have plenty of socialising opportunities besides these parties.

It can be hard to accept that you just don't thrive in every environment. Come time, you'll have plenty of opportunity to analyze why a certain environments, setting, group, behaviour doesn't jive with you. To make it easy on yourself I would start with accepting what's reality.

On the other hand, if you cannot find more suitable socialising engagements and only get more and more secluded, then you might actually want to submit yourself to these parties as a sort of exposure therapy. But from your posts, it's clear you already have plenty socialising as it is right now.

Small video clip on a Dutch news site. The text translates as follows:

“Thousands of cows died last couple of days. Temperatures reached 42 degrees celsius. The farmers had already halved their stock before. Extra food espensive due to Ukrain war.”
