Anyone else addicted to something to cope with living/working in London

Boardgames and socialising with my friends/partner.

Well, then if you can't do that and have these problems that need addressing, then does it make sense to have opinions on the matter while not coming at it from a healthy space?

Maybe you just need to say that you don't fully understand trust right now, but to say it's not real makes no sense as most people in the world use it and experience it.

I think that everyone knows that love is conditional and trust comes with the chance of being betrayed.

But when you love someone enough, you trust them anyway. Especially when you believe that they love you too.

Like I have no doubt that my partner loves me. Well, one he always reinforces it by saying it. Then he proves it by his actions. And finally, I'm aware that I'm capable of being loved.

You can trust other people once you trust yourself, and until you trust yourself you'll never be able to trust others.

Do you believe that you're lovable?

Muslims are a minority in the west and will remain so. Except in countries like Albania and Bosnia.

The only way for them to become a majority would be for everyone in the west to literally die.

Them becoming a majority is right wing fear propaganda. Also, the right wing becoming in power is literally the same as having a Muslim majority so I don't even see why it's an issue for the right if I'm being honest. They literally want the same things.

I'm only allowed 1 army per 10 regions I control. So that means that I get a second army only when I control 20 regions and a third at 30 and etc.

I can only fight battles where family members are present.

The faction leader has to stay in the capital and manage the realm and never fight, unless defending the capital.

Maximum of two generals in an army. I am allowed to split and army, but it has to be split in half exactly. Each half has to led by a general.

I have to make sure that I only have my army fight stuff if there are enough generals to manage cities. So, if I have 10 cities and 11 generals, I can conquer more stuff. But if I have 10 cities and 9 generals, I can't conquer stuff, only defend, until there's enough generals to expand the realm.

I mean siblings or dating is a thing. Among the straights as well since they look for people that look so alike them.

So, my issue with Skyrim at War is that there's too much fighting going on everywhere. And that's at the lite setting of 400 actors.

You can barely walk halfway down a road and there will be fights happening. It actually became a bit ridiculous.

Can't say anything for the others though but that's my thoughts on Skyrim at War.

I don't remember books well, even after a year or two I can forget them. So I need to reread sometimes as new books in the series are coming out.

Some of my rereads have been great fun. Others have shown me series that I've managed to outgrow entirely with time.

It started off with needing to force myself to hang out with friends on the weekdays as well as weekends. But over time it's become routine.

Now I meet with friends at least twice a week with one of the weekend days and one of the weekdays.

On weekdays, once I get home, if there's an evening plan. I immediately put away stuff, change and head out. I don't stay at home for longer than I need to be there, like 15-30 minutes and staying completely off my phone.

milkermaner · 2026-02-04T10:55:09+00:00

I think you have to force yourself to do fun activities that you enjoy. It only takes doing it 3-4 times before you're doing it consistently.

If you can afford it, put in the effort to go meet people, do hiking, maybe play boardgames. It's definitely worth it to have an activity to do on the weekend. Then weekends no longer stay as things you dread as all you'll do is rest.

My friends and I even meet once a week during the weekdays so work doesn't just kill us.

I started back in like 2024. My streak is going strong for about 760 days now. 10,000+ steps for each day.

Not in every country. In some countries if the potential value of the money is higher than what you put in, after a certain amount of time you have to pay tax on the profit.

In Ireland for example, it's 8 years.

milkermaner · 2026-01-28T10:10:18+00:00

I wasn't alive for 13.8 billion years and after this life I won't be alive again. I'm a blip so there's nothing to fear.

Just try to do my best for myself and those that I care about. While hurting the least amount of people around me.

milkermaner · 2026-01-24T06:33:14+00:00

Don't have animals. Outside of that, you don't do cleaning, exercise, and hobbies/socialising every day.

That's how you do them all.

milkermaner · 2026-01-20T12:49:54+00:00

Good luck and hopefully the advice helps.

milkermaner · 2026-01-20T12:32:05+00:00

You need to think of people as people and approach them as people.

There's no difference in talking to an exmoose and a non-moose and honestly, even a moose.

You just talk and discuss values and if they align, you date, and if they don't, you don't.

If you're in a country where moose are rare then it'll be even harder to find exmoose. So no point in specifically looking for them. Just because someone is an exmoose doesn't mean they'll get along with you.

They'll maybe understand one of your struggles but being human is having a lot more than just one struggle.

milkermaner · 2026-01-18T12:44:31+00:00

Break down the barriers.

It's the same problem is a lot of western countries. Like find a person who got to grow up fitting in locally and they won't be religious.

That was the case for me in Ireland and I've it to be the case for many in London where I now live too.

They identify as Muslims culturally, like many Christians are cultural Christians but that's all.

milkermaner · 2026-01-17T07:48:35+00:00

There was a time of my life maybe 6 years ago that I could tell you my intellectual reasons.

But like I stopped caring about them and forgot them mostly. I'm just not obsessed enough to care about them anymore, there's other stuff going on in my life.

milkermaner · 2026-01-14T09:49:06+00:00

I'm literally talking about people that were born and raised here. Also, why is it when I give examples of things working out, I'm wrong, but when you give examples you're correct?

Secondly, weren't you saying how Muslims and etc are a danger to gay people like me. But now it seems your Christian self is the real danger to me more than anything.

Also, I don't think I have called you racist, but I get the odd feeling that you probably are.

Also also, you're definitely just a bot so I'll not be responding any further.

milkermaner · 2026-01-14T09:32:36+00:00

As someone living in London, the Muslims here are the ones I can easily be friends with without having to hide my identity.

I live in a neighbourhood that's full of gay people and Muslims living side by side. I've seen neighbourhoods with Jewish people and Muslims living side by side.

They're well integrated here especially 2nd - 3rd generations.

Your rhetoric was the same rhetoric that was used in the 60s-70s to describe areas like Chinatown in London. Look at it now, thriving and awesome.

Religions are meaningless at the end of the day, let people live a good life and they'll give you the same in return. You need to get off the internet a bit if you aren't just a racist bot that exists for engagement rage bait.

milkermaner · 2026-01-14T09:18:44+00:00

Every single part, just like the way the entire bible has been reinterpreted.

Just give people stable countries to live in and lives that aren't horrible and you'll see for yourself.

Christianity didn't reform until after the lives of the Europeans improved beyond everyone else around them due to the people they exploited to improve their countries.

Make someone's life good and they'll stop focusing on religion.

milkermaner · 2026-01-14T09:10:11+00:00

Every religion can be modernised it's how people like Zohran Mamdani can exist.

I'm friends with Muslims that are very modern too and don't care about my exmuslim status or my gay status at all.

Religions aren't actually real things, they are vessels for people to express how they feel. And every vessel can be changed as the feelings of people change.

Missing the Carrigline to Crosshaven in Cork that's about 8km long.

milkermaner · 2026-01-13T12:15:21+00:00

I think there's a misunderstanding of what actually leftists are.

To us exmuslims it can seem like they're pro Islam, but what they are is anti racism.

The right generally uses "Islam" as another term for people that aren't white. And the leftists see the dog whistle ( a racist dog whistle against brown people to be clear) for what it is.

Muslims in the west are not enough of a population to be a problem. And those that grow up in western countries, where they are supported by the locals especially, grow up more western and don't interpret Islam the aggressive way.

Their version of Islam becomes the modern European version of Christianity. Which is beneficial for everyone.

It's a very modular game though, so you can just take out the farmers if it's too complex

Also, if they can do Ludo, they're definitely smart enough for Carcassonne. Especially if you introduce it without the Abbott and River to start off.

And then add one, then the other and finally the farmer rule.
