  • Well, I’m mid-forties, work full time, and have a child. However, I was miserable and it got pretty bad. Eventually, with the help of a lot of therapy, I began to understand the importance of taking care of myself in an actual and meaningful way. When you sideline BG3 in lieu of other priorities, the thing that gets deprioritized isn’t the game, it is you. This concept seemed crazy to me at first, but I am now starting to understand it and believe that it is important enough to share.

    It’s okay to tell people that you have gaming time between 6pm and 7pm nightly. No phone, no chores, just you and an adventure.


  • I think that “easy to prevent” is a gross mischaracterization. The flow of goods into this country is mammoth. Checking literally every item, while possible, would crash the economy by bringing imports to a standstill. When you compare the cost of fentanyl in the system against stopping the flow of goods, the economic impact doesn’t even come close.

    We have an incredible, historic, and unprecedented access to goods from around the globe. These items are essentially on-demand for the American consumer, and many people fear the reality that an economic crash would bring; not that everyone would die slowly in the streets, but that we would become responsible for providing for ourselves in a manner that we have forgotten how to do.

    So, in addition to checking every item, you would have to reshape the way that Americans live their lives.











  • I know that anonymity is the way it is and don’t think that me changing my display does anything about one way or the other. I definitely shit post, because I can. There is literally no consequence. If I somehow hit the right combination of words and someone commits suicide, I would never know. If I share something that someone looks views at their workplace and then gets fired, I would never know. The entire thing is just people collectively shrugging responsibility for their behavior and that has a net negative effect on society.

    I’m not going to change my name over to my real name, although that is generic enough that would not be identifying, but I am going to point out that people do shitty things with anonymity and that the world would be better off without it.
