I've been eyeing Solasta for a while, but I'm curious, does the base game have enough meat to it, or is this a case where the base game is a bit lacking and really starts to shine in the dlc? I've read some reviews to this effect and would like to hear another opinion before I purchase it.

Yes, I know. I'm not a nimrod.

They were asking for alternatives and I provided one.

This librarian is a damn hero. Standing up to intolerance is full of risk, but for every one that has their life or livelihood endangered there are others that are heard and met with little or no resistance, and for those wins it must continue to be done. She took a stand knowing full well that it could cost her her job.

Many residents of Gillette will feel no shame for doing this today, but I hope they do one day very soon.

Coming up with an alternative to the word "lame" seems like the wrong way go about this. To you, a lame thing is a thing you don't like. That's what it means to me, I'd wager that's what it means to a lot of people. Saying it is a knee-jerk reaction. Any word you pick to replace it will have the same negative connotation. Instead of picking a short word to use to describe a thing you don't like, stop and think about why you don't like the thing and use that reason as your statement of disapproval. Or, if you're just saying you don't like a thing, maybe that sentiment doesn't need to be expressed.

Sorry, wrong nomenclature. We are talking about the same subject (use of Reee) but I used the term OP in reference to the commenter you responded to. Sorry for the confusion.

My point was that calling out using Reee as ableism is uncalled for, in my opinion, because it is used to signify a record scratch (if this is not general usage and confined to my bubble of experience , I do apologize). Pointing out the possibility for offense when there clearly is no offense implied, and no one stating that they are offended, smacks of white knighting.

I feel like your comment came with good intentions, but to me it seems like unnecessary language policing. It's a harmless onomatopoeia that could just as easily apply to the unrelenting tinnitus that rages inside of me.

I'm sorry but what? I'm not OP but that is a record scratch. End of story. There is no ableism even in the vicinity of OPs statement without someone shoehorning it in there.

Everytime I see or hear "woke" I mentally replace it with compassion/ate to get a true gauge of what the speaker really feels.

I spent 6 months in the hospital dying faster than normal. My spouse was there to visit me nearly every day and we often got into fights about, in retrospect, supremely stupid shit. This is all to say that we experienced a traumatic event from two very different viewpoints. You're partner is afraid about what could potentially go wrong and so are you. But you both aren't afraid in the same way; you just can't be and there is nothing wrong with that. But good news! Nothing's gone wrong other than a stupid fight.

My advice to you is to be there to see him off and be there for his recovery. He's scared and being an ass. You were scared and were an ass. You've been together 5 years. You need to be by his side even if he says you don't have to or that mom can take care of it all.

After all, he's your partner.

One third of one billion dollars? Google can find that in the couch.

Fuck this guy, fuck his producers, and fuck his viewers.

I'm glad you had a good Tuesday.

Stress never really goes away, does it? Just need to develop healthy coping mechanisms.

Good luck on the business! Hope the new boss isn't a jerk!
