  One thing I’ve been reading about in Asian countries primarily is that women in the work force are disproportionately screwed when it comes to their careers and starting a family. The government and patriarchal society expects them to leave their career to start a family and they get left behind once they’re ready to go back. It’s also harder now a days to raise kids even with 2 incomes, lots of women just don’t want to bother and I understand why. But the pressure is still very much there by society and men who do want a family, especially in those cultures. So now they’re fed up with dating and choose Ai boyfriends or no boyfriends instead.

  I sorta get it, I did the online dating thing and it was sorta difficult to find other people who 100 percent didn’t want kids like I did. Ended up working out for me but I know I’m an outlier.

  I enjoyed wilstar as well. Haven’t thought about it in years.

  Yea those points are sorta why I have some hopes for the riot mmo if it ever comes out. They already have teams for pvp and story and they’re working on pve games. Like em or not their pvp games have a huge player base so they must be doing something right and they have decent world building and stories to pull from already. Legends of runeterra added A LOT of really cool concepts to the universe that can be used for anything. Pve is where I suspect they need to improve but who knows.

  Ah fair enough, I figured it was something like that.

  Ah yes nexon. Haven’t played any of their games in years but last think I remember is all of them being similar with the same cash shop system slapped on.

  Yea it would take a lot of money and experience to break into the space, mostly cause you would need to take players from existing games. People who like mmorpgs already play them.

  That’s probably why riot put their mmo on ice for a while until they figure it out. But if anyone I’m putting my money on them to nail it.

  Lul you’re right. Would you happen to know if they claimed any actual medical benefits with the masks? I’m assuming they did cause they’re getting sued but the smart thing to do would have been to just say it’s cosmetic and has no medical benefits.

  In my extended friend group we use Chad as a comedyish thing to call someone when they do something cool/good or perceived as cool/good but we mean it. While someone calling themselves a Chad in a non self deprecating way is usually a dbag.

  Is it true that movies were super cheap to watch back then? I’ve heard that that’s partially the reason people would go watch the same movie multiple times, that and AC/socially.

  I’m just talking here but wouldn’t you take in and take out everything when you go camping? What do you do with these towels now that they’re big after being used? If you carry them back then wouldn’t it just defeat the purpose of having a pill towel when you could just carry a regular small one?
