I don't think that it's been proven that reading makes you more empathetic, I think that there has been a correlation established between those who exhibit empathy and enjoying fiction (or at least narratives where you adopt another perspective).

I think it would be almost impossible to prove that reading improves empathy, but I wouldn't be surprised if the part of your brain responsible for empathy gets a workout when reading fiction.

Because they really feel they're right, and that's what matters — right?

It's more along the lines of the comma is too weak for the pause. Likewise, there are places where the em dash is too strong for the pause.

Amusingly enough, one use case for em dashes is a pause where a comma would be too weak — refuting your assertion.

Also, you used a hyphen.

Great example of 'say the same thing enough times, eventually someone will believe you'. I this case, 'gubmint don't work'.

New player, grabbed flight sticks because I'm impulsive (sh.itjust.works)
 

Hey everyone, title pretty much says it all.

I've managed to snag a set of keybinds that works for me, played around in Arena Commander offline. I'm hooked, had a ton of fun but I feel like my arms are sore from cranking the sticks so much.

Really looking for advice pertaining to ergonomic setups, like what kind of mounts should I grab. I have two Gladiator NXT EVOs, both the left and right hand versions. I didn't buy anything else though, as I wasn't that impulsive, so currently it's unmounted and I'm just rolling with it.

On top of those recommendations, specific guides on how to get better at combat would be good. I'm open to buying other space flight sims as well, if it would be easier to practice there (ideally I'd like to stick to Star Citizen).

My main fear is trying to hop into the main game and getting my shit rocked, losing what little resources I have trying to learn how to not crash. I tried it a little bit, managed to get my first ship impounded lol. If anyone has tips on ensuring I can ping the hangars correctly I would greatly appreciate that as well.

Sorry for the word vomit, still very new to space sims/flying sims in general. Not really sure how to word what I'm asking. Thanks to anyone that takes the time to read and answer!
