Absolutely. I was an absolute loner for the better part of a decade. Then my depression just disappeared. I joined a community around a streamer and had loads of fun. Just find the intersection between your preferred subject (literary analysis, anime tiddies, etc.) and your preferred communication method. (Text forum, voice chat, real life meetings, etc.) You’ll find at least someone you can hang with, maybe more. Just go at it with openness and joy.

Honestly, I’m slightly surprised ‘tattoo printers’ haven’t become a thing for those little ‘formulaic’ tattoos. (Stars, hearts, bird silhouettes, etc.) People love getting inked up and I could see it making those sorts of tattoos absurdly fast, albeit probably much more intensely painful due to the speed.

Do you have a definition of fascist you approve of, or would argue for? It’s absolutely true that some people throw around words as dismissal but that doesn’t mean we just all throw up our hands and say all words are meaningless.

Ultimately, the fight over ‘fascism’ is a fight to define ‘fascism.’ Having no definition is not a position to argue from. It’s ignorance. Arguing on behalf of ignorance is just noise. Even if no one else shares your definition, decide what it is, then argue for that.

Yeah, I just want the results of the secondary poll that asks the why. It’d be interesting just to see the real answers.

I’m now curious what those 6% were thinking. The no is basically the default. What males those few say they want to join the US?

True. Some people must love it, but I didn’t and I’ve just never heard anyone I’ve talked to about Fallout say they loved the OST for NV either. Very limited sample, I know, but it’s all opinions anyway so, enh.

I want to see Canada put out an open offer for immediate welcome, territoriship, and instant citizenship for any state along the border that votes to join Canada.

I’ll admit one important reason is just that it was the first I played. I’d never played an open world game before so the revelation of even the possibility of there being so much depth and freedom was amazing. That said, I also think it is generally better in other ways like setup and writing.

It also had the best soundtrack. There are people who listen to the F3 radio outside of the game. I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone say they loved the other soundtracks at all, let alone enough to listen to them repeatedly.

With how much of it felt like pure dice luck when I was interested, it ended up seeming like you’d be financially better off if you were gambling in a more direct way while also discussing lore for fun. At least you’d have a chance of coming out ahead.

Stress is the obvious answer. You won’t be able to guess what is causing it, so don’t start speculating. You can try to impress upon her that you are a safe outlet for that stress if you are able and willing to really be that for her, (Don’t just jump at it because you are curious. You might not like what comes from it, and it’s worse to pull back after the fact than to not offer at all.) or you can just be a source of stability while she works through it herself. Use your best judgement.
