This is a very salty topic. It seems many are pining for their inheritances.

I agree with OP. I have zero material expectations of my parents. But, I do expect they return that grace and don’t use the past or possibility of inheritance to manipulate me. I’m very wary of codependence.

It’s great for trails in America. I’ve used it for years. Offline maps by default and you can easily drop a pin. FYI, in the android build, you drop a pin with a triple touch. It used to be long touch.

It’s insulting toward, what I believe to be, a plurality of the population. Luigi was a gift of a wake-up call. They’d do well to listen. Though, only government could really remedy the situation, and that’s not likely to happen. So we lurch forward toward instability. The powers at be seem more intent on transfixing the masses with fictions, distractions, and eventually: war.

This is true in my experience. People are extremely mimetic and validation driven. If someone respects you, they listen and imitate. It can actually be frustrating to me as an adult, because I don’t find the aphorism “imitation is the finest form of flattery” to be flattering in many cases. It can start to look manipulative or lazy when it’s middle-aged adults floundering for approval.

But your point stands: respect is an effective platform from which to share ideas. So many folks close off their minds, because they are lonely or otherwise insecure. If you can positively move either of those needles, they listen. From there, the only question is whether they truly internalize the idea, or whether they are chasing the feels of socialization.

Me too. Sadly, spears rarely get much love in RPGs. I’ve always wanted a) spears to qualify as finesse weapons and b) to make a dexterity build that dances about with a spear and takes advantage of distance. Just recently I started replaying neverwinter nights, with PRC (like every DND race/class combo) to experiment with builds.

It was always “trickle up” marketed as the opposite.

Heh. Man, do such posts dominate reddit these days. They can be entertaining on occasion, but god damn are they absolute drivel.

Void. I like xbps, and I prefer distros that make as few assumptions as possible.
