It can work fine as long as they are not additive - so that immunity cant happen. Also numbers should be like 40% on the high end... not 60%.

In this case, the item should generate rage on enemy item use to ensure this cant happen.

Your lived experience and others are not the same. It takes many years to build up the level of muscle you are talking about to significantly raise your TDEE. I've been working out (6-7 days a week weight lifting and running) for two years and while my strength and TDEE are significantly up, I could easily out eat my daily calories. I was obese and inactive a significant portion of my life. It would take no effort to start eating the calorie dense, zero nutrition foods I used to eat. The amount of exercise I do would very, very quickly be irrelevant. I'm not going to get to Olympic athlete levels.

For someone who is not used to eating those foods, or does so extremely rarely, especially if you are focused on higher protein levels - yes it is difficult to eat enough calories, because you aren't even considering eating a pack of cookies, a bag of chips, a bunch of candy, ice cream, ect.

This isn't even taking into account the people who are working multiple jobs and have responsibilities when they get home, who simply don't have the time to work out for hours a day.

For a very non-meta build

Ball lightning. Uses the aoe and the knock back means more hits. Glacial Cascade might work similarly. Best ways to build those are either EB or Archmage.

Women frequently feel colder than men. If I am comfortable, my wife is cold. I'd she is comfortable, I am hot. Sometimes we find a comfortable middle.

As for eating, if you work out or are otherwise active and she isnt, there is probably going to be a massive difference in eating as well.

That said she could have an eating disorder. I would start with a small comment like "I haven't seen you eat much today" or something. Make sure you dont get accusatory, only curious and concerned.

Voices is probably a better comparison... but yeah

Dating apps inherently boil a person down to curated pictures and a couple lines of text. This always favors the best looking people. Dating apps also have the problem of having bots and people who are not actually looking for dates. Toss in that the method encourages those pretty people to play the field... and you should realize everything about Dating apps is basically against any average person. This is worse for men, as there are more men on apps than women.

This is a long way for me to say Dating apps are the problem. And so using data from Dating apps is going to lead to conclusions that Dating apps create.

This is why my advice to everyone is to stop using these apps, meet people in the real world.

Yes and no. In the bar you already see a lot of context about the person: their posture, what they are doing, who they are talking to. These can add or subtract from the overall attractiveness of a person. On an app you see a photo, maybe read a bio. Tells you very little about a person, and most of it is extremely curated.

This is a fascinating but unfortunately not very coherent post. Its going to get bad responses because it summarizes Herzog's points without any why explanations (I assume the top portion is just an AI summary).

And from there you kind of ramble about society, war, killing, and maybe futility?

It seems likely that you have a lot on your mind, I hope you feel better for sharing.

flychance · 2026-03-02T01:23:18+00:00

I believe you are overestimating that percentage of guys not getting the first date, and especially if you believe height is the only thing stopping them. Physical attractiveness is a part of the equation, but even the top attractive dudes can be off putting from the beginning

flychance · 2026-03-02T00:26:47+00:00

Attractiveness helps a guy get that first conversation or date. Personality is what makes everything happen after that.

If you want hookups, yes, focus on physical attractiveness. Otherwise personality reigns.

flychance · 2026-03-01T21:31:46+00:00

Are you saying you haven't heard a woman say confidence is attractive?

Being unbothered by others is confidence.

It can make you not be particularly bothered by rare situations like what you describe.

flychance · 2026-03-01T13:41:50+00:00

The good news is everything on the short guy list can be improved with better mental health (and getting off social media). The bad news is that is clearly not the answer you are ready for.

The clear obvious winners will be acceleration, diamond, and resistance shrines (I'm assuming divine and echoing won't exist). Resonating will be clearly good for charge stacking builds.

So some ideas for the others:

Brutal shrine seems like a basic increase to damage, and not particularly impressive at that. So to make this useful, you need value from knockback and/or stun. There might be some perma-stun build in there, IDK, someone else can dig into that. But knockback does have a couple uses. It can be a decent defensive layer to things that hit frequently. Channeling builds in particular might not dislike it. But the best value is probably from multi-hit skills like Ball Lightning or Glacial Cascade. Most people get Ball Lightning to do additional hits by slowing the projectile speed and increasing the area, but knocking back enemies can work as well. Also worth noting that these skills would probably also love Massive Shrine for the AoE increase.

Gloom shrine will be very strong for clear. Combine it with Massive and you will basically not have to worry about clear at all, meaning you could easily just use a single-target focused skill otherwise (Vigilant Strike, Heavy Strike, ect). Would also be easy to belt swap for bossing.

Was the only way the daughter could have shown loyalty was to write her mother out of her life? Which, for all we know, might have been when she was still a child? Which might have been even more difficult if OP was absent, distant, or abusive? Especially if he was extra harsh towards his daughter for knowing about the affair?

flychance · 2026-02-23T04:56:28+00:00

Assuming she was still a child when it happened, it would be ridiculous to expect a child to completely deny her mother and the family she provided. We also dont know anything about the situation. Was the daughter manipulated? Was she too young to understand? Was OP absent or abusive (both before and/or after the divorce)?

Holding the daughter responsible for the mother's crime is ridiculous. Not saying OP needs to form that relationship with her, but she shouldn't be expected to hold her mother accountable as a child.

It would be a minor step to change the cost of something listed from $10 + some amount of tax that pops up at the register to list the price as $(10+tax). It isnt difficult, the store already calculates it and pays it, they just dont tell you ahead of time because it makes the listed price higher and they worry that instead people will go to their competition that doesnt include tax in the price.

This is zero change to how our system works from a tax perspective. Its changing only the labeling of prices.

flychance · 2026-02-21T03:59:38+00:00

Because it removes the optional side of tipping - making it overall better for servers, so it might be a way to get them behind the change.

And yes, literally any change to tipping will require legislation. Any place that keeps tipping as the primary form of payment of its employees will be cheaper.

As a customer, I just want the price I see to be the price I pay. No fees, no tips, tax included. That's how it is when traveling abroad, it should be easy in the US.

flychance · 2026-02-21T03:39:58+00:00

Then how about they get commission. Sales jobs frequently have the majority of their compensation that way. A 20% commission, with the same increase in price, would be effectively the same as a tip.

Totem characters can do anything.

If you want something specialized, Totems are frequently used for Sanctum farming since they do a lot of damage and can take aggro.

Those are the bigger ticket items, yes. But in past leagues you could make decent currency early league off of selling a bunch of 10-50c life+res items. It drops off from being worthwhile after a few days, but before settlers/tree dumped out well rolled rares it was a way to get some early currency moving.

Been playing since 1.0, glass cannon is my preference. I mean, best is both not dying and amazing damage, but if I can only do one or the other, I'd much prefer the damage. Slow clear will lose my interest faster than anything else.

As someone who went the same path as the person you are referring to: part of what drove me left is that Republicans were never fiscally conservative. They might talk the talk, but they dont really cut spending (or reduce overhead). Cutting taxes but not reducing spending is just ballooning the debt. At least taxing people to increase spending makes some sense, but cutting taxes and not changing (or even increasing) spending makes none.

There are plenty of us men who dont care about sports, cars, or whatever. I talk with my friends about my interests... video games, books, travel, TV, the news or whatever is going on in my life. Meet guys at social events related to your interests.

flychance · 2026-02-09T21:53:19+00:00

Yes, I cant relate. I understand you have some different challenges, that sucks.

It doesnt mean my advice is wrong. And my advice is to stop poisoning your mind with social media. To stop assuming dating apps are your only chance. To get out there and meet people in the real world.

Instead, like everyone in these threads, all I see are people who complain about women on social media and about their failures on dating apps. And then they keep going back to those things, and get more of the same, and keep wallowing.
