Sponsors reach out and offer you money to read their ad.
Same as basically all advertising ever.
Are you also mad at TV channels because a late night informercial convinced you to buy piece of junk?

I always figured it was the same sort of bullshit as those dumb "buy/name/adopt a star" things. IE, you're paying for someone to write your name on a completely meaningless list and send you a fancy looking piece of paper.

I saw a therapist for some months about ADHD related issues.
It was useless.
The gist of her advice was (translated from therapist to english) to just abandon personal responsibility, blame all my problems on ADHD, give up on improving myself or doing better, and be a happy helpless victim with no expectations.
Honestly it made me kind of angry.

On the instructions, I'm seeing objectives 2 and 5 in the exact same color, as well as objectives 3 and 4. So I don't know which section of the map those are supposed to go to.

Hmm, while I was typing this up and went back to the menu and started over and now all the objectives are different colors.

The map leaves a bit to be desired.
Could really use one of those "you are here" markers.

edit:

Reloaded again and this time 4 and 5 are the same color.
Wait, does that mean they're just in the same section of the map?

Oh well, doesn't matter. No book spawned for me to return.

No mater how many times I reload, no book ever spawns now.

I saw one open book on the table but couldn't interact with it.

On the subject, I find the wording of the instructions awkward.
I feel like it should say return books to their section, not from.

edit:

Ok, I found the book i'm supposed to return.
It was so dark, and standing on its side which is not something books do by themselves, that I didn't even realize it was a book the first time round.

The monster seems to have a lot of trouble if you manage to approach and bump into it from behind, doing things like running on the spot or trying to path to another point instead of running immediately at you despite having a clear shot. It seems to not have the ability to turn without moving; maybe letting it learn this power would help with these issues.

Yeah, haha.

The first time I started it up I saw the monster and walked straight to it to get a look and see what happens.

The monster kinda bugged out, shaking in place while I stood next to it.
Finally it turned around and ran away.
It didn't seem to have the ability to turn and face towards me, it would swipe at thin air when I was standing to the side.

But eventually I seemed to just die after it swung at the air for a while, even though there was no indication that I was being harmed at all.

So when i loaded into the game it was so dark I couldn't see anything.
I was happy to see there's a brightness control but I think you might want to give that another pass.

It says to adjust until the image on the left is barely visible.
There's only one image, it is on the right.
And making it barely visible makes the entire game barely visible.

started a family

As someone who will hopefully be doing this soon ... how do you protect your kids from being manipulated by all the bullshit without completely removing your entire family from society and living off the grid in the woods?

You should upload/post your archive somewhere so other people can see and share this stuff.
I for one would love to use it similar to how you have here.

Actually, it's probably far more likely for us to someday see the draft ended if it also applies to women than if it only applies to men.

Always struck me as interesting how much hate the admins had for that sub seeing as there really wasn't any rulebreaking content at all. It was honestly extremely tame. Just guys talking about how dating women isn't worth not and sharing examples of men screwed over by women.

Don't know if you guys have been checking out 4chan, /r/4chan, the ChrisChan sub, or the forum for New Zeland Fruit Growers ... but Christine Weston Chandler has been recorded admitting to having sex with "her" ~80 year old mother.

And its questionable if said mother even has the mental capacity to consent to this activity.

Also, this 4chan comment reminds us not to misgender this fine representative of the trans community:

It seems the trans community on Twitter has become frustrated with people mislabeling Chris-Chan, a MALE-TO-FEMALE TRANSEXUAL who RAPED THEIR 80-YEAR-OLD DEMENTIA RIDDEN MOTHER, as a heterosexual male going by he/him pronouns. We should help them spread awareness of this common misgendering, by telling everyone on the platform that CHRIS-CHAN, WHO RAPED HER 80-YEAR-OLD DEMENTIA RIDDEN MOTHER is indeed a TRANSEXUAL who is a part of and a representative of the TRANS COMMUNITY and this is the major takeaway of it.

Wasn't quite as bad as I thought.

I mean, for one thing the matriarchal tribe she came from was pretty much wrong about everything. Only one of the ruling matriarchs wasn't a frightened, old, curmudgeonly idiot. And the last wasn't exactly smart she was just an old free spirit hippy type.

And the big bad Roman Empire analog turned out to be ruled by a benevolent king and was clearly the most advanced and knowledgeable civilization. I kept expecting them to pull a "Surprise, the western civilization people are actually the big bad imperialists and we should all seek to be more like the noble savage." but it didn't happen.

I sure have seen a lot, and I mean a lot, of videos of black people assaulting/harrassing/robbing/murdering random innocent people of all races.

I've yet to go out to do some stabbing.

Feeling a bit less relaxed though.

Personally, I think the reality is that there was absolutely genocidal shit going down. But post war is was exaggerated for political reasons. And in the years that followed, the denial of any conversation about the obvious exaggeration has led people to assume it must not have happened at all. Which is the wrong conclusion to make and why it's a terrible idea to not allow people to discuss these topics.

The exaggeration part is pretty obvious in retrospect.
I mean, WW2 era governments had absolutely no qualms whatsoever about lying to their citizens. And a whole lot of those lies have become "history".

For example ... how many people know the myth of The Blitz taught in schools?
And how many people know the reality that roughly half of the brits killed in The Blitz were killed by their own military's artillery fire?

All because the government decided it was better to put on reassuring anti air show (firing naval guns into the sky above a densely populated urban center) that killed its own citizens at random, than to admit that they couldn't really hit German bombers with ground based anti-air fire and watch all their factory workers scatter to the countryside.

I don't think there's any countries that will let you in that aren't already worse, or at the very least already on the path to ruin themselves.

the average trafficking activist is a bizarre fantasist greatly overinflating the amount of trafficking in their head

Police and media are intentionally exagerting it as well.

Basically the police realized if they call basic "solicitation of prostitute" arrests "human trafficing", it plays better with the public because they imagine the police are busting rings of pedos smuggling children. And the media is all too happy to play along because those reports get better ratings.

All modern unions do is just take money from workers and funnel it into democrat PACs and campaign funds.

Fuck unions.

Sure I hate Amazon, but I hate unions even more.
