  • Self defeating part: ‘this non-normal relationship will end in broken hearts, and normal relationships will end in broken hearts’.

    you’re telling op that this relationship will fail spectacularly, then stating there is a 0.001 percent difference between this and ‘nornal’ relationships. All your comment does is inspire fear, providing no actually guidance, including by your own admission in this reply here.

    Maybe that’s your aim, my original reply aimed to suggest that there are healthier ways of looking at the situation than raising alarm bells solely for the sake of alarmist comparison, and providing no other insight into the situation, again, by your own admission.



  • Hold on, isn’t your perspective self defeating? The obvious reality of this relationship is that it is experimental in nature. If they’re informed of that going in then making mistakes is the best thing they could all be doing right now at this age where there are still fail-safes. Is it weird insofar as not being a norm that op is used to? Absolutely. Is it good for all of them to get this out of their systems and/or learn what their relationship types and preferences are? Also absolutely. Teenagers are gonna fool around. It’s what they do. The easiest thing for you to do is put aside your differences and respect their autonomy so that they can make their own mistakes while you still have THEIR respect.

    Hope this helps, op. Being a parent will never be easy.


  • The game intentionally gives you a 33 percent chance to have a game you can’t win. That alone is enough to destroy anyone’s mental. The playerbase is so dwindling that most trying to play swiftplay anymore are just trying to eek out a quick win, it incentivizes cheese strats, making fair games even less likely. I could go on and on, but suffice it to say I really want to be done playing league forever – my online mate recently became a fan after arcane season two so it’s been tough.


  • I’ve played about 100 games and it has been completely unable to get me interested. Attempted giving it the ol college try, but just found it vastly imbalanced for someone who doesn’t play any mouse and keyboard games outside of league. Oh also, the monetization is even WORSE than modern league, so there’s that too.











  • Okay, I’ll bite.

    Well, then, you’re categorically wrong. These younger humans are not simply stupid. They see that the world is completely destitute and don’t want to engage with them. That doesn’t make them less resilient, they’re trying to limit their impact and their time around other humans because they see all of the chaos being brought about by that interaction. Asmr is an easy way of getting stimulation without impacting anyone else, other than the byproduct of electricity usage. And that’s not really their fault. We have also been vastly cornered into social isolation ever since COVID hit. This is the dissevered reality that Republicans have wanted for a very long time. All of our systems are being gutted, and no one wants to confront the people who are taking them away, including you. So everyone else who gives two shits would rather keep their sanity by finding salvation in isolation than work together with a bunch of people actively destroying the world, through greed, ignorance, or sheer stupidity. Or out of some perceived social necessity as it seems you believe. There is no place in the world for a good majority of the chronically online. We used to have a place when people could work overnight and afford to rent, when they didn’t have to live in their parent’s basements just to survive, when college graduates didn’t have to live paycheck to paycheck. The only people making enough money to dream of a pension or retirement are those who knew someone, or those who had the money to get to know someone and there is increasingly less and less middle ground. The bottom has fallen out for a multitude of reasons over the last several decades, and we’re all caught in the crossfire of a generation past whose entire goal was conquest in a world that increasingly just wants to be left alone. We’re at odds with the past and the future and were just trying to survive. This is how we cope with having our only option being survival.
