You do know we can spot non-sequiturs, and that they make you look stupid, right? You did that because you don’t have an answer, so you just twisted their words in a weak attempt to mock them.
COVID causes long COVID. I’ve never heard of “long flu” because it doesn’t exist. As far as actual death goes, the flu killed 608 people in 2022. COVID killed OVER A QUARTER OF A MILLION in the same time period. Two hundred and sixty seven thousand of my countrymen. You fucking clown.

Even despite the age gap, this was the healthiest relationship I’ve ever been in. It was based on mutual respect, trust, communication, and an understanding of each other’s time and goals. I really like her as a person – she’s wonderful. But I also think we’re just not the right fit for each other romantically or...
I didn’t see anyone else mention, so I may as well. Have you guys considered opening up the relationship? I know from personal experience that it can be hard, and you’ll have to be extra present for her since it would probably be you going out to get your needs met, but if the sex is the only roadblock then statistically it’ll only be a “problem” on your end for a few more years.
The terms can be whatever you both agree on. If she’s not strictly heterosexual, she may be open to both of you dating another girl that you both like. This kind of “stable polycule” has always been my preferred structure, but if that’s not an option then maybe she can find her way to being alright with some other arrangement that allows you the freedom to get your needs met, without risk of her getting jealous.
I really hope you guys do find a way forward through this, your relationships sounds very healthy and fulfilling otherwise, and it’s clear you both care about each other very deeply. If you can’t, remember that you don’t need her to have done anything “wrong” to break up with her. Simply not being compatible in such an important way, and not being able to find a way around that incompatibility, is reason enough.
I know it’s not for most people, but figured the suggestion couldn’t hurt. That’s a hard situation, no question. I hope you’re both able to find happiness!

Unfortunately, that doesn’t make it any easier to deal with 😞
What’s your jank tolerance like? If “moderate to high”, Mount & Blade or Outward might scratch the itch for you. If you’re up for post apocalyptic ronin shenanigans with more of a strategy feel, Kenshi might be enjoyable. Technically, Noita is an open-world fantasy game. It’s really hard (I’m really bad), but I love it nonetheless.
Going more mainstream there’s shedloads of mods for classics like Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim to update graphics, mechanics, or just new content. Witcher 3 is still really good, too.
That’s a fair critique of Kenshi, yeah 😂 I have a soft spot for it because I started following it back in, like, 2011, when Chris was the sole dev and didn’t even want to do a Kickstarter for it. It’s up there with Grim Dawn amongst the greatest success stories of games I’ve backed (it’s quite a short list lol). I’m hoping Kenshi 2 will fix a lot of the jank and bugs from the first one, since it’ll have foundations built by a team instead of having to deal with a legacy “good enough” codebase.
Star Sector is indeed a bit tough to get into, and I still don’t like actively piloting ships. This might be attributable to inputs: I’ve got a Kinesis Advantage II ergo keyboard, which is stupid comfortable for 14-hour stretches of typing, but means I have to remap every single key in every single game I want to start playing. What keeps me playing is the sheer amount of community-made content available, which adds a lot of replayability in the form of new ships, weapons, factions, and questlines. Also Nexerelin, which adds a lot of 4X elements, changes the gameplay significantly.
I was looking at Cosmoteer just recently, funnily enough! I was thinking about buying it, but my brain actually used the meme on me:
We have Cosmoteer at home
I’ve just pulled up the store page again, will probably watch some more recent Let’s Plays to get a better idea of the experience.
How about Avorion? I like what I’ve played, I just suck at building and haven’t put in the time to learn it any better, but it has heaps of good reviews.
Yes, you are perfectly justified in feeling betrayed. The question now is what you want to do with that information. Can you be with someone you know for a fact that you can’t trust?
If you really, actually don’t give a shit, you can bounce. Work out a way to split assets with your partner and go do whatever you want with your life. Your family will probably hate you for leaving, your blood relatives and/or friends might lose respect for you, getting another job might be hard, but you’d be free and none of that would matter.
Unless you actually do give a shit, but just need something to change? Are you sure that giving up what you’ve got would be the change you need? What is it you want?
“Skiplagging” — or booking a flight with a layover to skip the last leg of travel — is a common hack for travelers who don’t want to pay for a direct flight or who to save money on airfare to a connecting destination. Airlines contend the practice results in lost revenue for seats on planes.
Yep, I travel very light anyway and I don’t trust the baggage handlers and TSA not to lose or outright take my shit. I can fit toiletries, a few days’ clothes, my laptop, and any chargers in my backpack. If you treat air travel as a particularly inconvenient bus line, it goes a bit smoother in my experience.
No, the fuel is paid for because the flight is paid for. The plane is still going to its final destination, it’s just going to use less fuel because there’s one fewer passenger. I’d argue as well that skiplaggers don’t check bags, so the fuel savings are even greater since that’s one less bag than planned on both flights.
Over time, those fuel savings do add up. Airlines do care about that, or checking bags wouldn’t be an optional extra charge with so many of them. It’s just not as optimal as having someone pay the full price for a ticket to destination 1, and full price for destination 2.
Frankly, I feel that airlines can shut up. Overbooking flights is the same practice in reverse - they deoptimise passenger travel plans by bumping people when everyone who booked a seat shows up.
The air quality is terrible, food is expensive af, the risk of wildfire is ever-present pretty much no matter where you are, crime and homelessness are both through the roof… have you considered buying a place in another state? Check around Colorado, it’s similar to California in a lot of ways but much, much cheaper.
