  • “Women don’t know bears can kill you because they had fluffy teddy bears growing up” is what you sound like.

    What? First off, boys also have teddy bears. Most people’s experiences with bears are precisely what you described as solely women’s experiences.

    Like what are bears in men’s daily experience? I’ll isolate down to North America to keep things simple.

    Most men’s experience with bears is identical to that of women’s. Most men live in suburbs or cities, and haven’t even seen a bear outside of a zoo. But most men and women know that bears are dangerous wild animals because…we have been taught that.

    I don’t get why women are so infantalized by men. Now I’m just imagining a father walking up to his son, telling his daughter to leave the room then telling him “bears are dangerous son, you never wanna be close to one and here’s what you do to stay safe, also do NOT tell your sister this, she’s a girl and doesn’t need to know this because one day she’ll have a husband that will protect her from the bears”





  • Yeah… It’s a good deal for the car but the time just isn’t right. I’m moving to Colorado from Florida so I do need a good car to drive that far. However, after some sleep and reading the responses I’m just going to hold off on the car. I think as the time gets closer I’ll get something but obliterating my savings that ultimately took years to build on a single car is overkill.






  • “Done” doesn’t always mean complete, generally that’s where games go that I didn’t finish, never returned, and don’t plan on ever playing again.

    But to answer your question

    Far Cry: horrible update, AI is broken, don’t care to fix it

    Far Cry Primal: Didn’t hate it but I didn’t love it, caused major eye pain too so I couldn’t play long.

    Penumbra: Requiem: Abandoned the vibes of the previous two penumbra games which were the precursors to the amnesia games, didn’t enjoy the puzzles either.

    Planet Centauri: Development Hell, no interest anymore.

    Sniper Elite: weird funky controls just not enjoyable for me got about midway through before tapping out.

    We happy few: mostly abandoned by the devs, game suffered due to being rushed.

    Out of those I beat 3, the rest I either didn’t make the return window or kept for library collection reasons.






  • Modal transport design is probably a huge reason why this works. I would be interested to see the pedestrian deaths in a packed busy city like NYC vs the wide suburban roads of the rest of America.

    My theory is that roads designed with the purpose of driving faster (designed with a higher modal level) are commonly placed within high pedestrian areas within the US (Stroads) and due to that higher modal mental state people are “comfortable” and thus use their phones as their brains are less occupied. While in a busy city street they’re in that 1st modal mental state so they are focused on their surroundings way more.
