Unfortunately the “anything” is limited by what the game allows. If “anything” isn’t what you find interesting, then you’re gonna drop the game pretty quick.

Hah. Same complaint I had about Elite:Dangerous. Lightyears wide, one inch deep. Gotta hand it to FDev, though, they really try to keep community goals happening.

Africa (and the various tribes and countries) has been fucked over by various European countries for centuries. Can’t lay this one solely on the English.

I made an alt account for when I actually need to use reddit to ask something in a hobby group that I used to participate in, but I no longer participate in reddit overall, comment or contribute in the groups I formerly patronized. Just noticed that today’s my cake day here - the day I left reddit.

Tbf some of those former territories aren’t in very good socioeconomic shape. If we’d ended up like Canada that would have been winning the lottery, but plenty of those other former colonies have plenty of problems like classist India.

- Comment on what are the grievances with the "male loneliness epidemic"? 3 days ago:
Yes, it’s “divide and conquer” on a grand scale. Because we don’t have groups we’re never strong enough to rebel.

I can only suggest reading some of “The Way We Never Were”. It’s a look at society and how it actually was vs the manufactured versions people today use to weaponize the whitewashed past as some sort of ideal. It’s not a psychological book or a deep analysis of society at all, but one of the things that struck me about it that relate to social circles and how it applies to men in particular is the loss of “the village” and the damage “self reliance” - the isolation of the American Family Unit by making it the Family Vs The World - has done to society and the ability of people to form steady social groups outside of work. This, and the need to constantly change jobs to move ahead financially also keeps people on unsteady ground with relationships.

A driving test isn’t necessarily a test of skill, it’s a test of checking boxes that gets thrown out the window for many people as they continue driving. You can be a complete moron while driving but still parallel park and use a turn signal properly for a test. If you want to weed out more bad drivers you need harder testing and greater enforcement, just getting a retest of the same shitty test isn’t gonna work. Source: me. I had an incredibly stubborn aged parent who absolutely should not have had a license for multiple reasons but continued to drive. They were re-tested a couple of times because of incidents and still passed. It took letters from family and a physician to have the RMV suspend their license, and even then they didn’t want to.

Go play open-field paintball. Sounds like he’s into the hunt, so up the ante and be hunted too. Do the stalking while being stalked.

This is who Superman was. A literal (illegal) alien saving humans and, despite his full ability to completely take over the world, trying to be a good human.
Just reinforces my belief that if Jesus were to arrive today they’d throw him in a cage and then disappear him to a prison on foreign soil with no trial.

Anyone tried one of those AMS filament driers that sits atop the AMS? It’s really humid where my printer is and difficult to keep stored filament dry.

- Comment on TikTok Shop Sells Viral GPS Trackers Marketed to Stalkers 1 week ago:
There is no good solution. Daily life is littered with bluetooth, gps, and other devices, from watches to appliances to car stereos, many of which are not clearly named at all. You can Use a bluetooth scanner app like LightBlue to see what devices are around you as many of the trackers use bluetooth connections as well. Check for unfamiliar devices with strong signals if you park your car someplace away from others in a parking lot or something.

‘Cuz they all think they can win the lottery too. Or if someone sets up barriers to prevent wealth from being absurd that somehow the regular person doesn’t get any money or has to live in Soviet Block housing or something.
- Comment on To Catch a Predator's Chris Hansen Planning Roblox Documentary, It's Claimed 1 week ago:
I don’t use reddit, but tbf roblox is what you make of it. My kids enjoy the heck out of it. There’s the same issues with most games - exploiting the users for profits with micro transactions or whatever and the dangers of lousy people in chat. The real issue is that Roblox has become a mecca for kids and that attracts more of the worst aspects I mentioned.
I hate to say it but parents gotta parent. Roblox offers decent parental controls. I employed them and relaxed them as my kids got older, and check in on what they’re playing. Problem is parents treat games like babysitters and then get upset when their hiring policy is leaving the front door open and bad people walk in.

The Earth was likely headed back towards another ice age before anthropogenic climate change took hold. So no, every year would not have been the “warmest” if humans didn’t exist.
