There was a girl in uni I sparred with. She made an effort. She had trouble spotting openings but she was a tough little Afrikaner.
My last gf... well, she liked having me quickly win and "take the spoils".
I'm pretty sure the core isn't a rape fantasy so much as a "he gets what he wants" fantasy. Confidence is a proxy for competence, and competent men have spare to share. My gf went wild after I scooped her from the home office one day for some fun, despite her meek insistence "but I have to work-". Nope, man says otherwise.
I thought I'd like real wrestling fun before... but few women could make it more than a very 1 sided playfight, now I'd prefer surprise mock kidnapping off to nooks and getaways. "Roadtrip", "where to?", "you'll see". :0480: :2b:
I know everyone's being sloppy with their wording, but she's wrong, that's where the current trajectory leads... not counting various retarding forces.
The GAZE is imploding because management like this doesn't get results *besides* internal suppression. The initial failure of the Ukraine operation and sanctions to cripple Russia dramatically shook the confidence of the competent "go along get along" pseudo patriotic types in the spook agencies, and the continued failure is shattering the confidence of the rest of the competent bureaucrat collaborators. They're going to either speak-up/act-out and be removed from the system, or they'll remove themselves from the sinking ship.
"The future is" not a true ubiquitous empty-egg-carton panopticon, that's just for a moment in time. We're cresting if not fully over the civilizational stability peak, the future is a whole rollercoaster of organization cannibalization possibilities. :0100:
These ladies are being cannibalized already in many circles, their utility to GAZE is almost over.
It wasn't just Veronica... Keep an eye out if you replay, you'll notice more in the dialogue/terminals than you remembered there being...
I don't remember much of Mass Effect 1, didn't play the sequels, but I know they went downhill hard.
All that said, I'm gonna setup for VR again sometime this year and use my patcher on FNV. I want to want around that Mohave desert with my own eyes, at least one time...
There's so many important mate-related signals that can only be detected strongly in person, that I'm leaning back towards "only consider meatspace acquaintances for mates".
Cyberspace for data only. :3040:
Thus, get fit, *really* fit, eat *really* healthy, act right (psychologically stable), get yourself situated that you exude all the natural male signals a female needs, and not the false signals an intelligent female would filter for. A god among men.
And like @WashedOutGundamPilot has been saying, drop by places where high-fertility high-intelligence women would be, eg mostly-white suburban campus libraries.
That's a good point. Actually there've been some nice marriageable age women at small bookstores in my region, different situation than a library...
But yeah, there's smaller towns in my region with libraries I haven't been to, I think I'll test that in the winter months. Right now is beach/camping season :0000:
I used to think this was sensible, but most of the books I want to read I can find on archive.org . Books I'd read that are still under copyright are... Very niche. I got a weird look the last time I asked the librarian to transfer in "Biohackers" so I could reread it.
Honestly the few women I did meet at the library and talk to are possibly criminally insane, so I no longer consider the library the ideal place to find an intellectually compatible mate...
>“The level of the Ukrainian language, in my opinion, is growing. I know that there are mistakes with accent marks and some words. I want to speak better. Perhaps, one can’t know the language one hundred percent. But I’m trying to master it, practice it, speak more, better with smart people. I talked with a person in Russian and sometimes forgot the words, and I said to the person next to me the Ukrainian word and asked how to say it in Russian. That is, it sometimes happens to me when I know a word in Ukrainian and forget how to say it in Russian,” he said in a video interview titled “Frankly with the President,” while driving a Tesla car. The video was posted by the Office of the President on social media on Nov. 7.
If you're a minor Chinese noble, who needs to conscript and lead an army of peasants on short notice, a game about territory control and logistic encirclement is probably goos practice.
Similarly, from the era when most games were made by developers primarily for themselves, true *simulators* are a fantastically good facsimile for whatever you want more practice in.
There are other great potentials with the electronic mediums... But mass market productions are coopted now just like music and film.
What can I say? Either you can play Star Control 2 and understand what there is to get out of it... Or not. Don't lump it with "Press F To Pay Respects".
