Personally, I think very few people in life are truly independent and never need help or assistance with something. As far as thriving, I know way more people that are struggling with something like their finances, health, or something else.

I think most people either get lucky early on and their lives generally go well, or they don’t get lucky early in life.

Edit: As a child, I thought life was hard but ultimately a good experience if you put in the work and did the right things. As I got older, I realized that my life is mostly bleak but with some good experiences throughout.

I see this behavior everywhere on the internet, and I truly believe people become like this the more chronically online they are - whether they realize it or not.

Too late, I studied Finance and National Economics and work in Logistics. Space and evolution are my biggest interests outside of that, though

I feel like seeing life before it had been through so many evolutionary shocks would have been neat

Thank God I’m not the only one who absolutely hates this. Over a decade ago, I used an iPhone for a month before returning it for an Android because I hated it so much.

Op, this is it. The franchise has been around for decades and covers many historical eras. Recently they got into fantasy and did well with it, though personally I prefer the historical titles with the dynamic dueling.

Like Dr_Nik said, battles are either RTS style that you can choose to control, let ai take over and observe the battle instead, or you can autoresolve and skip a battle entirely. The overall gameplay is similar across each game, but the mechanics and ai behavior vary wildly across titles. If you don’t like one game, pick up another and you’ll probably love it

If you think being altruistic has to be worth something to do it, then you’re not an altruistic type of person. Being altruistic means doing what one believes is right and helping others regardless of any reward or value gained or lost.

While the American Left has been shifting right for the past few decades, were you even around during W. Bush’s presidency? Progressives today want exactly what W. Bush campaigned against - proper climate policies and social / welfare safety nets.

They’re not justifying racism, they’re explaing how the US has gotten to where it is today and why people act as they do. The culture here regarding it is different compared to most parts of Europe, and people generally are trying very much to combat these issues. But as this is a deeply cultural and historical undertaking in the US, a lot of change - cultural, political, or otherwise - will happen very slowly and will not always appear progressive. Despite recent events, the US has generally - though not always - been making small steps in the right direction here. Seit du Deutsch bist, weißt du, Fortschritt ist kompliziert.

I work Logisitcs Management and manage 200+ drivers for last-mile deliveries for a large company. I don’t like the company but I take pride in my work and the projects that I manage, but I’m using it as a stepping-stone for something better in the future
