I've been doing that at work as well. Older Gen x types that don't follow the news much. Right leaning but not far right are usually the highest success ratio for me. "Hey did you see they're doing _______, crazy"
When I was young there was a thing called power hour, where you had to drink every minute, plus additional drinks for things every minute like a truth or dare game. It would display something like "take a drink if you slept with more than 5 people." So you'd take a drink for that plus the one that came every minute. It was wildly dangerous but I have a lot of good memories from those times.
Agreed, or a game full of bugs and glitches like FO4. Honestly at this point I kinda hope that another studio has a hand on it to get it moved quicker so that Bethesda can't Bethesda it up too bad, and stays more true to the feel of older games. While at the same time improving on the combat of FO4. The earlier games were better rpgs, but sucked ass at combat. FO4 was decent at combat but basically wasn't an rpg at all. I'd like something in between, and feel like a co-development process would help with that as well as expedite the process. That being said, even if that were the case, I still don't see society lasting long enough for it to come to market. Even if expedited with another studio, were talking 6 years at least. And I just don't see America lasting that long at this point.
I'm 40 now and can't imagine dating someone younger than 30. People change so much between 20-30 that the person you start with may not be the person you end with. People should never quit growing and learning. But I want to know that the person has enough life experience and stability to be a reliable partner. That being said, I also hold older women at an arms length because in my experience they tend to want more control. I don't want control or to be controlled. I want an equal partnership with respect and love. I understand that that changes depending on the person but IN GENERAL I would go -7 or +5. There are exceptions to that based on maturity, intellect, vibe, etc.
There's a lot of good TV coming. Peacemaker season 2, fallout season 2, gen v season 2, the boys season 5, Rick and Morty season 8, mortal Kombat movie sequel. Fallout 5 the game was recently put on full development, but I doubt we'll ever see that, as it'll take 10-12 years of development, and I honestly don't believe we have that much time left for a functional society.
That's fair I often go a little too hardcore in my boycotts, and realize I'm left with little to no options in picking up something I need. No Walmart, no Menards, no amazon, and try to avoid target, luckily I've found a few small shops around town that I didn't know existed, simply cause I had to find some things for the house.
Once while driving through the middle of nowhere I found myself getting hungry and all they had was a McDonald's and a dumpy looking gas station. So I passed on and wound up regretting it cause the next town of any significant size was nearly 80 miles away and I found myself getting lightheaded and my vision started getting hazy. Luckily I passed a town with a clean looking gas station before I got to the bigger town and I discovered the magic that is Casey's pizza.
Have you never chosen to boycott a company before? I won't go to Chick-fil-A for any reason. It doesn't matter if the franchisee holds the exact same level of hatred for lgbtq+. The fact that it isn't a disqualifier is enough for me. Not all MAGAts are pedophiles but the fact that they can excuse it for other reasons in their head means I don't fucking talk to those people. So yeah, you giving money to horrible people makes me think of you a certain way.
You're right in that the average Joe isn't the most accountable, but the average Joe can hurt the companies and people who ARE most accountable. That means not indulging them, and definitely not giving them money.
You're excusing yourself from evil. "Did you see how she was dressed? She wanted it", "I was just following orders", "I did what I had to". No, you're a pile of shit trying to excuse your actions.
Who TF is comfortable? Definitely not me. You don't have a need to travel, you just don't give AF about anybody but yourself. Tell people in low-lying island nations why you "just can't help yourself" but to flood their homes because you can't sit still.
I was misguided, but had virtuous ideals at the time. I'm not defending the evils in the world anymore. Unlike this person who is trying to justify being evil at this moment.
Change the game, then. If you were a real player, you'd have the influence or ability to end the game. You're just making excuses to keep going as normal.
I don't travel. Like, at all. The most I travel is the 20 miles it takes to get my kid from his mom's house. I don't need the luxury of burning CO2 and ruining the housing market to have a good time.
