You 1,000% need to see someone. It’s not even debatable at this point. This thread is a whole case study on why it would be beneficial for you to speak to a therapist.

Wow. You need to find a therapist immediately.

Lmaoo it’s all good, It makes sense from the Japanese perspective that they might not be as versed in western history eras. We’re not so versed in their history. I only really know that their “medieval” period was called “the warring states era” because of Inuyasha. Everything else is right though! They do love the Victorian era and some people like the fashion and lifestyles pictured in that era (I.e men in pressed suits, women in intricate dress, getting tea poured from a fine teapot by a black and white clad Maid or butler)

Well, medieval maids didn’t look that way. This is more Victorian.

He is pulling stuff out of his asshole.

Thanks for attending my Ted talk.

Hell yeah, an Alice in wonderland reference? Very rare👌🏽

I agree. I’m a sucker for a cozy game, and the art was adorable; but it requires a patience I do not possess.

This week I’ve been playing a game called Peaceful Days, it’s an indie game on steam kind of resembling harvest moon, and Stardew Valley. I gave it a second shot because the dev said he’s reworked it, but it’s still plenty convoluted. The puzzles are obscure and unintuitive, so you have to live on the forums. I think I’ve officially given up on it today.

Rune factory 5 was fun, (if I remember right) and I’m currently on the store page wondering if I should spend ~$35 to get RF Guardians of Azuma. (Suggestions welcomed)

Last week I was playing winter burrows. A game that really didn’t deserve the controversy. It’s a darkly cute survival game about a mouse who moves back to his first home from the city after their parents pass. You have to collect food, materials, and stay warm through your traveling. It’s kind of like Don’t starve; but cuter and not as hard. I can’t recommend it enough, it runs like a dream. It’s a bit realistic, so don’t expect fairytale mice - you will have to bury some bodies you find in the cold.

Maybe your parents don’t know either. They’re just covering all their bases. What if you were kidnapped from another family and switched with the baby they had, at a park or something- while no one was looking? Maybe your parents went through the whole changeling movie and just decided to put it to bed and accept the circumstances. This probably brings you no peace, but to be honest; it doesn’t matter too much if you did or didn’t, they’re still your parents for better or worse. (I look almost exactly like my mom, so I know I’m hers, but it’s not a warm thought if it makes you feel better)

Well, the fact that women are existing and don’t want to interact with any of them is already discomforting to them; so I don’t suppose it takes much.

“ To hear nature in a sawmill instead of machines… for any lumberman, that’s unnatural. I don’t want to sound overly dramatic, but it’s as unsettling as watching a loved one take their final breath.”

This guy is blubbering over the fact that he can hear the birds in his shop. He thinks that’s akin to someone in his family dying. Were it coming from any other person it would be “snowflake soy boy” behavior.

Though since his family is just as important as his shop, if he brings one of the younger girls to trump, he might be able to do a little tradie-poo with him.

It’s all enormously pathetic.

That’s rough.

I do think that’s the rule of life though, to get something you have to part with something. I bet it would be really nice to be friends in real life with the people on that matrix, but right now at least that group needs anonymity more. It doesn’t always have to be that way, life is odd and there are no concrete outcomes. Though for now, I’m sure you appreciate having somewhere to go to be able to talk about things that maybe most people wouldn’t understand or lay judgement upon. I genuinely wish you and everyone on that matrix the absolute best.

I can agree with that, but I think for privacy you lose some inclusivity. I understand you want to feel comfortable when talking about sensitive topics. On the other hand, is being a woman really such a sensitive topic that we shouldn’t be able to have a space that’s respected? It’s depressing that it’s not just intrinsically understood that these spaces are important, deserve to be public and proud, and really should be more prolific- but here we are.

I can understand a mistake, and like I read on the original thread and on here; the mods are really nice. It just really shouldn’t happen more than once imo. I also feel bad for the mods literally trying to keep a space designated for woman safe. When I first saw the group, and the rules- It was confusing but I think it’s understandable. There’s not 100 of these spaces, and the rules should be understandable for anyone who thought of participating.

I saw this play out and there were more than one of these users breaking the rules on that sub. I guess it’s tempting to want to comment on a first page thread, but boundaries exist for a reason. I don’t really see women going into incel spaces, making incels uncomfortable. Still, what it looked like was most of these men knew this wasn’t a community for them, but figured that their comments were so invaluable, how could it exist without their imput. It’s pathetic.

It’s not about homophobia, Bill Clinton was impeached because of the Monica Lewinsky stuff, and that’s not illegal either. It’s more of the fact that his fan base think he’s above reproach while victimizing people in that community. It’s more like “what now? Trump likes a dick down as well” also, he talks shite about just about everyone even his allies and refuses to acknowledge anything problematic about himself or his family. Like, it’s not about any of the stuff you’re wondering about. Were making fun of him because he’s a fascist loser who I’m sure would get on his knees were the price to his liking. That’s all.

Hey, do you think your parents dropped you on purpose or by mistake? It’s almost embarrassing for me to see you not understand what’s being explained so carefully to you.

Hey, I actually voted for Mamdani! I live in Brooklyn and the support was there for him. There were people canvassing until the last day . Don’t want to give away too too much info on here, but to see him win and be able to overcome all the hate and Islamophobia is really inspiring. I’m also a first gen immigrant, and when I came here as a toddler I didn’t know any English. I’m glad he’s demonstrating that this is our city too, we will it to run, we do the dirty jobs, see the unseen, clean the filth, care for the old and sick only not to be seen as essential. Personally I’m not Muslim, but I’ve always had respect for the values of the religion. When I read The alchemist by Paulo Cuelho (the first time) it was amazing to realize that people could truly be bound to do good by religion. NYC has always been a melting pot, and it shouldn’t be run by someone who doesn’t see and appreciate that. Anyways, know that your hope and my hope are the same. Come January we’ll begin and see if there is still something worth fighting for. We really are only at the precipice.

This is a safe space (I think) Was it Reddit? That’s why I’m here. It’s illegal to have a different opinion on Reddit and these non federated sites. Seriously it’s insane how much hate you can get by saying something as simple as “children shouldn’t be left home alone” or something as obvious and banal as that.

If you can recommend a cozy/farming game other than this, I’ll gladly return it if I don’t already own it. Otherwise their drama doesn’t really have anything to do with me.
