I’m sletshaming this.

Aye - rather than how, why? I do not mind a smaller community.

Even that is very modern-looking to this Chaucer enjoyer.

Isn’t this essentially WikiLeaks?

I thought that was “Hello, nurse!”?

Yeah I play FE not as a strategy game but as kind of a relaxing beat-'em-up. Get mad over leveled (via arena abuse, monster maps, whatever) and then enjoy the steamroll.

I wonder if 7chan is still kicking. Back in my chan days, which were like 15 years ago now, yikes, I considered myself to be “better” than the average 4chan pleb because I used seven instead

Verily

Tell me why…♪

Ironically this comment implies there’s something morally wrong or depraved about that, or that wanting to look at boobs is an inherently sexual thing (to which only an immoral degenerate would succumb), which is exactly the kind of Puritan-derivative “sex bad” mindset that the post is rallying against.

My paternal grandma died last year. And my dad remarried in 2017.

Not really enough time for his new wife to establish much rapport.

Dad had always been a Mama’s boy and lived most all of his life clinging to his mom’s skirts anyway.

Yet when grandma died it was the new wife who casually sent me a picture taken with her phone of my grandma’s corpse in the hospital bed.

Horrifying, and very inappropriate. All of this is to say that I can relate to your situation and no, you aren’t overreacting.

I would like to sit naked in a bog, eating leaves, and sleep in a tree dreaming of nothing at all.

I mean, go and do that now then.

You may not want to hear this but if this describes you it simply means you’re an uninteresting person.

Eh, I have a pixel 7 that I upgraded to from a Galaxy S10 in early 2024 and I dunno, it doesn’t feel that great. Hard to get hype for yet another phone model.

Supposing an invasion does happen, to address the question of what you can do, just look at America’s losing streak of wars that has been ongoing for 50+ years.

If you take a view of America as it truly is and truly has been, rather than an idealized view of what it could be or says it is, it’s hard to say that America is the superior option, especially considering the direction that America has been going over the last 30-50 years.

At least Chinese investments in renewable energy and sciences and general human development are actually underway, unlike the United States, which seems hell bent on halting or reversing all of the above. And this is not even a trump thing, that has been the trend for most of my adult life, at least as far as I can tell: Rising anti-intellectualism, gutting the arts, science denial, and doubling or tripling down on non-renewable energy sources have been the milieu in the USA as long as I can remember, having been born there in 1990.

Make a waist mounted version: Steam Dick.

Hey, I studied at Sophia and even met Dr. Mari, even if just in passing! Neat!

Two that are related to falling

猿も木から落ちる [Even] monkeys fall out of trees [too]. Just because you’re good at something doesn’t mean you’ll always get it right.

七転び八起き Fall down 7 times, get up 8. Pretty self-explanatory
