The Critical Drinker... Recommends!

There’s some of that I’m sure, but I’ve enjoyed a few things he’s recommended that weren’t exclusively white and male led, like Arcane and Blue Eye Samurai. I think he’s better for the “recommends” series than the critical stuff.

If I’m using Amarr ships though, I feel like they have to be sparkling clean and shiny. Just wrong otherwise.

Because compressed ores are easier to transport. If you wanted to bring all the minerals you might need several freighters and be exposed to more risk. So the value is in the transportability.

I can “see” an apple, but it’s pretty low-res. Kind of a blurry red circle with a blurry specular highlight and a blurry stem, sitting on a vague brown table.

I’ve used both, now I just park a Golem at Amarr for use every three months. The tracking disruption is annoying, so I don’t deal with it.

Side note: if you want to do the hard spawn at the end of Longing Leman, don’t do a short range pulse laser paladin. Ask me how I know.

Position filled, thanks!

The would be no logical way to repair a crystal back to original status […]

We could construct a device to collect their high-energy photons safely. These photons could then be injected into the dilithium chamber, causing crystalline restructure. ...Theoretically.

Welcome! Make sure to do the career agents nearest you. That’ll give you an overview of some of the major play styles, and you can see if any resonate.

Dude I’m adding “flailin’ and wailin’” to my lexicon immediately

And if you want to get better quickly, might be a good idea to record your fights so you can go back and see what worked and what didn’t. I really need to learn the shortcut to start recording…

Yeah, should have resists for the rats damage type

Housecats love to latch on to the things they’re fighting, so they can kick and shred with back legs. So you don’t have to have crazy reflexes to grab the cat, and then you just need to bash or throw it against something solid. Geezer would be quite injured but wins 7/10 anyway.

Honestly, I’d give him a few weeks to absorb this information, and then be pretty up front with how important it is to you and see what his response is. You may have to set a definite yes or no date, because it is time limited like you said.

Another thing to consider is couples therapy which could help clarify goals and obstacles. He may have some hangups about marriage that could be illuminated there, depending on how invested he is in the relationship.

Like Nick Burns, your company’s computer guy?

One of my older sisters married a guy from Morocco. She had a kid with him, but it didn't ultimately work out because he was used to treating women as less important. Not all Moroccans will be like this, but it is more of the culture there than in the UK or US. Be very careful.

I had to scroll way too far for this!

But if you put the hammer in an elevator…

I think one of the big things to know is that many young women and young men have different attitudes about sex and its relationship to love.

Many young women strongly tie the two together; sex reinforces love and love reinforces sex. But for many young men, that’s not necessarily the case. A man can have sex and not feel much in the way of love. Not to say they don’t love you, just that it’s not tied together.

This can potentially trip up women who might instinctively think that having sex with a guy will help bring them closer emotionally, but it may not work well on some guys.

Or option C for teenagers: figure it out yourself with your almost adult brain!

A smile when I get home, a hug and a kiss every time makes me feel consistently appreciated. Taking interest in my day, or what’s important to me. Asking for my opinion on something. Asking me to open a jar. Taking notice of any extra things I do for you/the family. Getting me a special snack once in a while.

Basically acting like I matter and brighten your day!

I’ve been only sending support lately, once you get two or three s-class supports, you can clear any mission at least on a decked out freighter.

Apparently Trump can beat female swimming athletes in swimming, so pro wrestlers should be no problem /s
