After that, there will be war against NATO countries. It's not far-fetched to say we could be facing WW III. Only this time, the US will be on the 'wrong side'. (It might end up being the winning side, but it'll still be the wrong one.)

It's a surreal world where the POTUS seems to be aligning with Russia (and China) as a European threat. If they get their way, more war is inevitable. Europe knows that. Trump has effectively reduced NATO's ability to respond. But it's NATO's fault for relying so heavily on the US war machine. FAFO.

I like them all for varying reasons and love the originals. However, as an RPG-loving individual who enjoys open worlds and adores mythology and all things Ancient Greece, my personal favourite is Odyssey.

The British Sun is a tabloid marked by sensationalist headlines and (historically topless) Page 3 girls. The target audience is lower and working-class men. Its owner, Rupert Murdoch, is tied to numerous scandals and illegal behaviours. I don't know about the US version, but ours is rubbish.

Thank you for sharing this. I've increasingly turned to suicidal ideation in recent years. My life is off track, and I can't find a way to make it feel worth living. So far, my strategy has been to 'wait one more day and then just one more day.' How long that will continue to work is uncertain.

They knew. I've been hearing them out themselves for years. Supposedly caring about my well-being whilst actively speaking out/voting against the support/protections I need to survive in an ableist world. They don't want me on benefits, but they also don't want me in a job. What's left is dead.

It was the attempt at a live service game that screwed DAV up in the first place. So much of the richest content was either discarded or buried beneath the bones of the linear, quest-to-quest GaaS style play. I love the game, but it reeks of abandoned MMORPG.

Yes, this was from Amazon. I should have known better. They aren't in bad enough condition to return, but you can tell they weren't packed or handled correctly.

Found you here! I'm here more than elsewhere. Just followed you on Twitch, although the time difference means I won't be joining often. Gotta get that beauty sleep, you know. Also, work expects me to be awake...at least mostly.

Still too American. The real win is to stop being so US-centric and become a part of a world movement that accepts that the rest of us aren't subtext. We exist. And, in some cases, we do it better. We are here. Just ask.

Every man wants a submissive woman until they get a capable one who can do all sorts of shit that makes their lives better. Suddenly, the wife who can build a gaming PC, pay for the deer lease/holidays and buy you an expensive truck is more important than who makes the bed and cleans the toilet.

It's a favourite!

I was unwanted and spent my childhood being shifted from pillar to post out of an attempt to share the inconvenient (me). It affected every social interaction I've had then and since, despite 40 years of various therapies and a whole lot of thoughts and prayers (/s). So yeah, I get that regret.
