Are you drunk?

You need to read and reread what I've said. Good god.

No, I'm not — I was disgusted to hear Megan Kelly try to draw some kind of positive distinction between "barely legal types" and "children".

Personally I don't consider the distinction between terms to be meaningful beyond human need to categorize. A 12 to 16 year old is still a fucking child, a 17 year old is still a child. There are plenty of arguments to make about whether 18 year olds are adults.

That being said, nothing about my comment suggests that I support the message they're trying to portray. Maybe read the entire comment before calling me a conservative next time, ok?

No, it's that he was a hebephile instead of a pedophile.

There is a distinction between the two, they are both still fucking bad.

Ok thank God, I thought I was going crazy for a second. This is the rule I follow and I had a moment where I thought maybe I'd been wrong my entire life. Should be more confident.

Uhhhh, hold on a second.

But if a woman cheats and has a baby, that baby always becomes part of the family. If a man cheats and has a baby... Either it comes out immediately when the woman in question asks for child support or tells the man's wife/girlfriend, or it doesn't really come out because that woman is also in a relationship and wants to pass the child off as her man's. Plus even if 10 years down the line the woman comes out and says "hey you remember that time you cheated on your wife? Well I'd like you to meet our child", that's a lot less personal than raising someone else's kid as your own and then finding out 10, 20 or maybe 40 years later.

What?

I'm hoping no surprises despite my slut of an ex having been with what I'm guessing may be dozens of other dudes in the <2 years we were together. The whole "pill baby" was so perfectly planned though, that I'm pretty sure she took a break from whoring until she was pregnant. In fact it's what she did with her first kid's father - quick break from whoring when she found a nice target, boom, pregnant, and then she was free to sleep with everyone again while he was at work.

There is a ton to unpack here that I'm afraid I simply do not have the strength for. What I can say is that your perspective is skewed.

People cheat for a variety of reasons. Yes, someone doing something like what you were a victim of is 100% an unforgiveable crime. Your life, your childs life, and the lives of anyone else that has to tolerate someone like that, have been permanently marked by her machinations.

That being said, people also cheat because they're horny impulsive idiots that seem to think STDs don't exist, let alone the biggest STD of them all : pregnancy (I'm kidding, childbirth is a beautiful thing — typically).

Not everyone is a criminal mastermind nymphomaniac roping unsuspecting men into... whatever the fuck her goal was. Seriously, you can't let yourself think like that.

May or may not be your thing, it's hard to find games that check all the boxes. Caves of Qud is rough in some ways, very very deep experience but rough.

To each their own, it just seems like the crux of this post is 'man I sure wish modding wasn't as complicated'. Which, as far as both you and I are concerned, kind of defeats the point of modding.

I'm of the opinion that modding is fun, both the process and the finished result. Even if it can be kind of a pain in the ass sometimes.

Yeah, that I can understand. I realized that there are many more similarities between Fallout and Kenshi than there are between Fallout and 4x games.

Have you tried Caves of Qud?

I mean, life is pretty serious. I don't disagree that people should be allowed to paint themselves whatever color they want, but to say life isn't that serious is definitely wrong.

Again, I don't have much to add — but god damnit I try to go to bed early and end up staying awake staring at the ceiling all night anyway.

I could probably get more sunlight but this is a post on how to be less sleepy, not more sleepy.

Capitalizing every word in a sentence is also stupid, yet here we have people discussing the pseudo-grammar of it.

Sounds like you should just play more 4x games instead of trying to turn games like Fallout into something they aren't.

Edit: or maybe something like Kenshi.
