  • I’m an atheist. I do good things because I have a conscience. I have a legacy. Being a good person feels better than being greedy and spiteful. I pity the rich—never knowing which of their friends and family are true and who would abandon them if they weren’t rich.

    I mean of course I wish I had more than I have but I have enough to be fulfilled. So why not do good things? Being kind to people is its own reward.


  • I have five kids. Three of them step and two natural. Hasn’t always been easy for them or us, but I wouldn’t change a thing.

    That being said, I’m not sure a lower birth rate isn’t a good thing. If folks don’t want kids for whatever reason, that’s fine, too. Just don’t impose those viewpoints on others.

    I do think the hard religious/trad wife/have a dozen kids thing is pretty evil, but that separate from just having kids. My oldest daughter will be having a baby this summer and I think they are only having one, and we very much support both decisions (to have one and not to have any more).















  • That sounds about right. I don’t think I’ve picked it up in close to ten years. Not much before that since hats. But there was a time I lived on that game.

    ETA: I didn’t realize it was such a brief span of time. 2007-2009, but I played almost every day, so I guess it felt like forever. I picked it back up every now and again with longer times between and briefer stints playing each time.

    Still have a soft spot for the game, I just don’t like lootbox gear. I’d rather look at team comps and pick a class having a good idea what I’m in for based on the map and the mix of classes on both sides. Having gear that makes e.g. snipers better vs. scouts screws with that.

    I don’t remember all the exact details, but I go back to my original point: I prefer to play when everyone is on the same ground other than skill and experience.
