  • I'm trying to make the community more active.

  • I wouldn't consider myself far right. But the few family members that I still attempt to talk to its help to realize that in their eyes(even if it isn't the truth) their overall quality of life has decreased while people they disagree with have seen an increase in overall QoL. Now, a non-emotional look at that situation doesn't suggest that one causes the other, but they perceive it that way. I believe that one of the first things that need to be done is showing/convincing them that just because those they don't like are enjoying some time in the sun, it isn't the cause of their current bad time.

    Another, perhaps harder to accomplish, things that needs to happen for the mid to far right to come back to the table is realizing that holding on to traditions does not mean reverting to the past. As an example, I believe family units are the backbone of our society and are important to the development of the next generation. I do not care if the parents are heterosexual or homosexual or something else as long as they love their children, raise them to be cognisant of the laws and social contracts we have, and treat them well.

    At the end of the day, right or left, as long as we are all trying to get to a place where our fellow countrymen are safe, happy, and able to provide for themselves I don't mind if we bicker about which road to take to get there. And I'll always back good faith compromise over either side getting its way unopposed.

  • Kenzie Reeves in case anyone wants to know.

  • I do not. But I do find the idea of it hilarious.

  • Gone too soon.

  • Morgpie does her dive

  • Shame she doesn't do that anymore.

  • Love her cosplays. Especially her Sister if Battle one.

  • I feel that Sci-Fi and Fantasy are different. Especially enough to be seen as two different genres.

  • See, I feel like both Sci-Fi and Fantasy have enough different that the should be sperate genres. I think the combining them is to the detriment of both. I can't tell you the amount of times I've given up looking for something new to watch because I click Sci-Fi and every listing is Lord of the Rings.

  • I guess I'm the odd one out then. I'm a huge Sci-Fi fan. Ender's Game still stands as my favorite book after all these years. But I'm not too crazy about fantasy. I've bounced off of books, shows, and movies that my friends and family loved. They just seemed to be mediocre stories with fantasy paint on it and people who like Wizards were able to gloss over the holes.

    It's not unheard of for people to not be interested in the other genre. But those people are outnumbered by consumers who just want the new thing.

  • Not sure if I said it here(I'm a few days removed from my original comment) but political beliefs NEED nuance. If you're entire political identity can be summed up by pulling one of two levers.....then you're dumb.

  • And you may notice, I didn't say that it was. I said I found it hard to feel empathy for PC players as they stand on a literal mountain of PC only games.

  • This time around I voted Harris. Didn't actually think she'd win but at least she wasn't going to take a shit all over the things my Grandfather fought his way out of Poland for.

  • I find it extremely hard to empathize with PC players from the mountains of PC only games that have never come to consoles.

  • Oh, I wasn't meaning to imply that wanting sex was the issue. It was that I was using a relationship as means to that end. It felt scummy at the time and looking back on it I view it as having used her.
