Nobody bats an eye when you say, “early inheritance,” but everyone gets sooo upset when I murder my parents

Just crouch down to simulate moving to a lower line.

About 80% of my use of Netflix is “hear about a cool film, open up the app, it’s not on Netflix, close the app”.

Age of Mythology. It’s an RTS game from maybe 20 years ago, although there’s a remastered edition that’s less than a year old. I played the original version and the story and gameplay are both really fun. The controls definitely feel dated and clunky to me now though. I’ve not played the new version but I expect it’s good too.

Specifically, you can play as Norse, Egyptians and Greeks with three main gods and nine(?) minor gods from each pantheon. You build up your civilization / town over several ages, managing your resource gathering and armies. Each age unlocks a new god with a new god power. Each god also has different mythical monsters that you can create such as jackals, hydras, wolves, etc. The original also had Chinese and Atlantians (Greek titans) as DLC, I don’t know if they exist in the new version

Back in caveman times, no-one had a smartphone with a torch on it to help see the caves. It was all done using flip-phones with just the screen lit up. Those poor artists :(

Genuinely cool shower thought though, I wonder if it’s true

no 💕

You know most of the world isn’t USA, right? I’m sick of American politics, and while it is important to talk and mobilise against conservatives, I also don’t want it to be >50% of what I see here. Not wanting to see American politics doesn’t mean you’re privileged, it might mean you’re just not American.

(And also, people who are American and will be disadvantaged by conservative politics still might want to relax and enjoy their free time without having to think about all the bullshit that’s happening to them. No-one should be fighting for their rights 100% of the time, we all deserve some time to relax and have fun as well, otherwise what are we even fighting for?)

I was a little bitch when I was a child. I shower every day now and feel icky if I can’t. What was young me thinking?

Nice

Only lick the soldering iron when it’s turned on. That way, the ouchies from the heat cancel out the ouchies from the lead poisoning. Trust me, I’m an expert at licking things other people say shouldn’t be licked

Looks like the Cs are being Bs again…

What an insane thing to read with no context

Don’t be ridiculous, the UK would never do anything to harm vulnerable nations /s

Imagine turning down $800 an hour because you don’t want to work in a warehouse /s

You can probably still be emotionally attached to someone, even if they’re not around anymore?

I can be, and I would like to be, but it never seems to work out that way… Part of my question is to work out what other people do and what I’m doing wrong.

Yes, that sounds like me. I’ve only really had it happen twice where people have come back into my life, but one of them is now my best friend again after I didn’t see or talk to them for years. The other example moved away for about eight years and although we were close (before or after) we did just carry on the same relationship we had before.

Thanks ;)

I am ND, so part of this is trying to diagnose what I’m doing wrong and part of it is trying to understand what everyone else is doing haha

It’s true that I don’t seem to need company in the same way that lots of people do, but I don’t think that’s the issue here. I have good friendships with people in person, but can’t seem to keep them up online. I think I’m just not as comfortable / good at talking over text for the more in-depth and interesting conversations that are worth having friends for

That’s really cool! I wanted to start playing D&D online with the friend that prompted this question, but she doesn’t really have the time (or I’m not important enough to make time for, I guess) :/

Kinda sucks, but that’s what happens sometimes
