Call me an optimist, but I think that if an android was actually going to destroy life as we know it, nations would do everything in their power to advert the disaster.

Can you be in the steam family group with a dead person?

Firstly, It might help elucidate the issue if you'd detail everyone's gender identity and sexual orientation.

Secondarily, your partner might be fixating incorrectly on your presumptively romantic encounter; it could be the case that she is mostly hurt by you leaving her party only to spend the evening with someone else, but has misdirected that hurt into jealousy. However, the gender and sexual orientation of you and your friend does matter.

Definitely! Just to clarify, I think that good RTS games make good esports, but fundamentally on the basis is being carefully made, captivating, and nuanced. I think an overt focus on developing an RTS as a esport tends to lead to low risk, streamlined designs which while fun, lack some of the staying power that older, more established titles have. Perhaps, I'm disillusioned about the genre in general, and that's not the case!

Also, yeah 3d can be good, but I do think that Sprite based graphics are easy to parse and very pleasing to look at. I wish we had a healthy balance of the 2. 2d also tends to look more, evergreen, with 3d RTS looking dated on release due to the quantity of animated units. Though, strong art design would help offset this.

Tbh, I think a lot of people are doing extended phone calls and discord convos these days. I can't go to the grocery without hearing a few loud speaker phone convos, and back when I was more social online I'd leave Skype running in group calls for hours a day after work. (I especially hear Spanish convos over the phone in public from workers phones. I suspect many of these people don't speak English well and are calling family and friends for social stimulation. I live in FL, USA)

The only thing stopping me now, I think, is I live with my partner and spend tons of time with them, so my social battery is constantly low.

I am a stranger on the Internet, so please take my input with a grain of salt.

  1. A lot can change from the age of six. You may test differently now, if you were to be reevaluated.

  2. Good academic performance, especially in standardized test, might demonstrate that you are intelligent, but they do not preclude other deficiencies.

For example, your post is disorganized, riddled with errors, and difficult to parse. You said, "am lazy to edit." This might indicate that you have difficulty communicating clearly, perhaps emerging from hyperactivity or focus issues. Autism often comes with communication issues.

Other people can't see your standardized test scores on your face, but they can judge you immediately by how you communicate. That might explain why people call you "stupid."

I might be completely off the mark. If you do find that communication is a difficult point for you, then the good news is you can practice anytime. Just talking with others, getting older, and building experience will bring you up to speed with diligence.

Finally, there is a negative social stigma to intellectual disability. Try not to buy into it too much. I used to teach 12 year olds how to read. Some people never learn how. They were all intelligent, they just need to step back a few grade levels and have a helping hand. Sometimes you do need to reach out for help.

Personally, I'm totally desensitized to this kind of stuff in anime, but I understand your issue. Some people will say, "just don't watch the gross stuff," but I think that's unfair. It's a little bit like asking someone who doesn't like sexism not to consume media which contains it.

Like... That would be miserable. Tons of great movies, tv, books, fiction, nonfiction, etc contain casual, misogynist content. You should enjoy media freely and still be able to complain about it, or advocate for change.

Likewise, tons of excellent Japanese media has questionable, underaged girl stuff in it. It's always going to be weird to a lot of people if it goes unacknowledged.

So... Your opinion might be unpopular, but I think it's totally valid!
