    As an Americam, I approve of this satire!

    Wait a minute.

    It… it is satire, right?

    As an American, I am also now confused.

    What if… what if this isn’t satire and someone REALLY thinks that being European is better than being American? No… surely it can’t be!

    America is the greatest!

    …RIGHT?!

    Hello?..

    (O_O)





  • You can either walk around and talk to people (most people are receptive to being spoken to) or nervously hold your drink in hand, as you wait for someone to approach you.

    Personally I prefer the former. If I’m by myself I just look for someone who seems nervous and uncomfortable. I’m friendly, and as long as I’m in a good mood I tend to make people feel comfortable around me- but I have had times where I just stand there. Standing and waiting is highly unpleasant. Better to hide in the bathroom if that’s what you’ll be doing instead of chatting. Highly recommend chatting or “mingling”

    (If someone is lame, boring or seems uninterested, just approach someone else. Most groups will also make a space for you if you approach them in the event that there are no loners)



  • Yes, that’s true. 1% is still a significant enough amount (accounting for how large the human is at present) that men benefit from the past breast cancer research as well.

    I’m just pointing out that it isn’t a disease that only affects women. I dated a guy back when I was 14 or so, whose uncle got breast cancer. He was all paranoid that he had it, too, because he had lumps in his chest. In his case they turned out to be beniegn

    I’d rather that men know there is a (small) risk, than ignore signs because they think that only women can die from it

    1% is the typical birthcontrol pill failure rate, and I know of at least 2 babies born into the world while her mother was using bc pills




  • Women’s rights have been walked back, causing child rape victims to struggle to find abortions, to say nothing of women being forced to carry fetuses who will die upon birth. Trans rights are being shit on, to the point that gender affirming care is being denied to people even where it’s legal. Taxes for the wealthy are too low. The middle class is rare to be in. Health insurance is insanely expensive and it’s difficult to see a doctor even when you have it- emergency rooms will leave you waiting for 6 hours or more. We simultaneously have too many people, and too few children with a looming crisis of too many elderly. We have microplastics in the air, oceans, food, fetuses, everywhere. Housing is largely unaffordable across the globe. Homelessness is out of control. Massive, destructive wildfires are the new norm. Heatwaves are killing people. Migrants are clamouring to find new countries to live in (which will get worse due to climate change) causing all kinds of social frictions. The youth are anxious, depressed, and suicidal.

    But please, tell me how things are good for people over all?



  • You do the same thing over and over (and over and over) to attempt to level, but all you get for your trouble is shitty gear that you’d rather drop than deal with.

    First 40-70hrs are fun. After that… it feels like a chore. It’s worth it for the base game, but the seasonal content was a slap in the face. I’m talking they have the player fight the same enemies twice each before they’d drop the thing we need (AND made us start from scratch just to get to do it)

    Sure you can try out a new character but the same thing happens. It gets tedious.

    For a while we’d play for a helltide, or do some grim favors but again, it get so painfully boring. Again, if you want to play the game go for it, just know that after the main story and sidequests are done there’s nothing left but endless grinding
