"It also seems to me that if we only tell men to never "pursue", but do nothing about the "hard to get"-behaviour, then men who follow the new instructions or script will be left with no chance to meet someone. "

I was with you 100% up to here. Women are well aware they don't have to 'play hard to get' anymore. This has been a huge cultural shift over the last 70 years, acting like only mens behavior is changing is naive at best.

It is definitely bullshit, but your employer isn't a winner here either, they're also paying out $600 a month for your $1200/month health insurance.

The real problem here is why the fuck does health insurance cost as much as housing in this country?

Read my comments further down. Your party affiliation is whatever you decide it is. There are plenty of reasons to register, vote, or support candidates contrary to party affiliation. That doesn't make you 'not party X' unless you decide you are no longer supporting party X. It seems pretty simple to me.

Living in a deep red state, it's the only chance I have to cast a vote that matters. Not just the presidency, but most of our state and local politicians are decided in the Republican primary. Half the positions I'm talking about literally run unopposed in the general election. So I'm going to keep voting for the lesser evil and doing what I can where I live.

The same way I define if someone is gay, christian, or whatever other personal label, I ask them. If that's not an option, I'm not going to make a judgement based on random shit.

This guy was a complicated person who doesn't seem to strongly identify with either party, obviously Hannity is full of shit, but that doesn't mean we should lose sight of nuance in our reality.

That's moderately useful for statistics purposes, but that's all. It does not mean every individual person who registers as Republican believes in Republican values and votes for Republicans. Nor is it a complete list, plenty of states don't require registration for primaries so there are lots of people who don't bother declaring either way.

That's really a terrible way to make that assessment. I'm registered as a Republican in my state so I can vote in their primary, but that doesn't reflect who I actually support.

These assassination attempts are just a fact of life, we just need to get used to it since it's obviously outside our control.

Respawn has made 2 incredibly good SW games, and EA doesn't have exclusivity anymore. Seems like a silly complaint at this point.

One of the 3 founders committed suicide before the trial completed, one was convicted, and the 3rd still has over 30 charges that haven't been ruled on yet. None of them are 'roaming free'.

There's no functional difference in space stations, the procedural generation is pretty limited to the general appearance, and honestly besides the color inside I rarely even notice a difference. There's no skill involved with flying either, when you get close to the entrance, you get sucked right in by an autopilot.

There's very little opportunity for skilled flying unfortunately, though it can be fun to fly around floating islands and crazy land formations on planets.

If the on foot stuff sounds appealing to you as well, the game might be worth it, but if your only interest is in flying I would give this one a pass.

Yeah, I guess they should have just locked all of it behind a paywall so entitled people don't get worked up over not getting everything for free.
