Lol. That’s the spirit!

If what I say correct abides…

Idk bro, you’re not making your case here. Maybe speak pleainly if you want people to talk to you? Just saying.

Because you write like shit. ChatGPT doesn’t.

It is gambling becaae there is a “house” you at playing against, whoever sets the odds and has a financial interest in them.

If you’re playing a singleplayer game, you are still triggering the same mechanisms, but no one is profiting from you staying up until 3am playing a singleplayer game you already paid for.

I think it’s a north American thing. In a lot of cultures around the world you are expected to take care of your parents, either financially or in terms of letting them live with you. Because… You know… They took care of you when you needed it the most?

It depends on if you value your time or not. That’s what you gamble in WoW. If you don’t get your drop at the end of the raid, you lost time. When a new expansion obsoletes your gear, you lost time.

Oh wait, you literally have to buy play-time to even do the raid in the first place and roll the wheel. Not to mention the (sub)time it takes to level up and gear up.

Yeah. Just because you are not pulling out your wallet at every kill doesn’t mean you aren’t gambling and losing, both time and money.

They are not jokes. People here really don’t see a problem with violence, unless it against “the bad guys”. It’s sickening.

Have you heard of collector’s items my dude?

Bro don’t ruin the rp

Wait you’re looking for evidence? And using logic? Sir this is Lemmy.

Because it’s an echo chamber. Not a forum.

Something here seems off. Supposedly the occasion was explicitly to cook together, but then they came and refused to cook?

Either you let yourself be taken advantage on by going ahead and voluntarily cooking FOR all of them (instead of WITH), or the expectations weren’t clear around what the gathering was for. Maybe for them it was just about chatting nonsense all along, not about cooking.

Throughout your post you mention “they are boring”, you “try to teach them”, you can’t find “othets who are interesting and curious”. I say this in a good way: Have you considered maybe it’s an attitude problem?

I’ve read three paragraphs from you and I already have an impression you’re snobbish and think you’re better than everyone else. (Everyone else is boring, right?)

My point is there are a lot of layers here, and you have a role in it too. If they didn’t want to cook, why did you do it yourself voluntarily? Why didn’t you just say “Hey guys, so are we cooking or should we just order something delivered?”

I think you’re putting your effort in the wrong place. You are doing very specific things and you are expecting very specific things from your friends, maybe just don’t.

Be curious instead, listen to their ‘boring’ stuff and try to get involved. Listen to the people and not the topic. Why would they care about what you have to tell them, if your opinion of the things they are passionate about is:

… they are frankly painfully boring…

It sounds like you talk a lot, but don’t listen enough.

I agree with you but I don’t think it’s intrinsically unethical because they are skulls, but because there might be humans emotionally attached to the remains of the diseased. Those skulls belong to someone (not the dead person anymore), and it is up to that person like with the rest of their property. In this regard, selling the remains of a loved one so you can feed the living, sounds exploitative to me, but I could say the same thing about any other economic injustice. All of with fall under unethical consumption under capitalism.

If no one has a connection to said skull, then I’d agree that it is just a piece of bone, and dealing with it is no more ethical or unethical than with a piece of bone your dog finds outside.

To me it’s like wanting any other frivolous thing. Why not? I want a whole pyramid with my name, like back in the day.

Agreed. Unless you live outside the first world, HR will intervene because they don’t want you to sue the company, regardless of your gender.

Great explanation. If they are well dose and manages, they should feel like nothing, instead your emotions should feel a bit more manageable.

Finally. All these years of Hearts of Iron are going to pay off big time.

I find it annoying when people talk like this. It sounds like you forced the other person to be with you, or that you consider yourself so important that the other person would sacrifice their comfort for you.

Yes. There’s also been a spike of political commentors that seem normal until you engage with them, then they fire back with emotionally-charged nonsense full of contradictions.
