I believe you guys are also leading the nation on new renewable energy projects right now!

The Tarrant County GOP went 0-for-11 in the county’s three largest cities: Fort Worth, Arlington, and Mansfield. Let that sink in. They didn’t just lose a few races. They got shut out entirely.

Good shit, Texas!

Buy indie instead 😄

I think with a task like that it’s hard to judge the response. Many people feel like they’re being a burden asking for helpers with things like that, so they may have felt like they were doing you a favor by letting you off the hook when you asked.

To be honest if I were you I would start inviting these people to fun stuff and see what happens. If you try that a few times and you just get dismissive or wishy-washy responses then you probably have your answer and can focus your attention elsewhere.

If you’re not hanging out with them already you don’t have anything to lose by trying to push the issue a bit. If they really want to hang out they’ll be receptive, even if you have to do some negotiating on a time that works for everyone.

I can definitely say that my friend circle shrunk a lot as I got into my 30s. I also stopped drinking in my late 20s and while I kept a bunch of friends, there were also some I used to have that were so drinking focused in everything they did that we drifted apart naturally after that.

As we get older we get busier. I wouldn’t assume it’s personal. It takes effort to stay in touch in adulthood and both people have to make an effort and want to. I don’t want to assume what you’re doing, but that part about the house does make me wonder if you’re falling for a classic pattern of expecting others to reach out even though you yourself don’t? I’ve been guilty of this too sometimes, but I think it’s good to remember that that kind of expectation can actually make what you’re afraid of a reality. The other people might wonder if you still want to hang out since you never initiate.

Again, don’t mean to assume about all that, so ignore it if it’s not helpful.

The goat goat

It was the “so others find you interesting” part I was reacting to. It sounds like that’s not what you meant, so don’t worry about it.

People worry far too much about what others think of them and what mold they should fit into.

Become proficient in one or more things so others find you interesting.

No offense, cause I think your message is good overall, but you contradict yourself in the same paragraph.

Trying to learn things so others will like you more isn’t a great way to do it. I know because I tried that. My self-love became conditional with that mindset, and there was always something else I could come up with I had to learn or change about myself before I could be lovable.

My old therapist called me out on it. He said there’s nothing wrong with pushing yourself to improve, but if you don’t balance that with unconditional self love it will simply lead to depression.

Don’t forget to tip the self checkout.

Oh I bet you “disposed” of it alright 😏

As far as I know you also can’t just buy the Larian engine. It’s proprietary.

I’ve been here since the third party app culling and it’s been steadily growing I think from my anecdotal feels when using it. It definitely has a long way to go to replace what reddit was, but hopefully it just keeps growing bit by bit. I see posts like yours frequently these days so you’re definitely not the only one leaving.

Unity is also just a broken mess under the hood, so they’ve got a long technical road ahead of them to actually improve in addition to the reputational damage. CEOs usually don’t understand technical issues so I’m not holding my breath.

Very sad to hear. Cyan is a massive influence on me and I’m always rooting for them. They definitely haven’t had a smooth or easy road over the years though.

When I personally use it it means “OK, sounds good, I have nothing more to add but I read your message.”

Have you tried getting flavored syrups and making your own? That would let you fully control the amount.

OK good to hear!

I actually really have enjoyed the game itself but you aren’t fucking kidding about the rest of it. It’s truly insane how much friction there is between deciding to play and getting into a lobby.

I known I’ll like the game (the franchise is one of my all time favorites), it just had a lot of technical problems on launch so that’s what I’ve been waiting to see improved. Sounds like it might still be kinda rough based on the first part of your comment.

How’s the game state these days? I’ve been waiting to play until it got fixed up.
