I always thought he was known for fictional war writing like Tom Clancy

I think you’re thinking of someone else, pretty sure he doesn’t do this.

What’s with atlatls trending atm, is there some spear throwing shit going on on TikTok or something?

I can see why XD

Named after Rizzo the rat?

This is obviously not real.

How simple minded do you have to be to develop a fetish just because the internet told you to.

Not sure if it got nerfed, I haven’t played in a while. The throwing hammer didn’t have great range but usually enough to throw it from outside of an enemy’s aggro range. And the best thing about it was that with a fully charged throw it would knock down a lot of enemies, it was amazing to initiate combat with a knockdown from range and then run in and smash them.

I ran dual greathammers with this and the smith’s hammer that you can throw. One of the most fun builds I’ve ever played, insane damage and surprisingly fast for such a heavy build.

Maybe I should start one, I’ll call it Things I Learned From 35 Years of Nihilistic Hedonism.

In terms of impacting your life, weed is an addictive drug like meth or coke. It doesn’t have the physical addictive impact of those drugs (i.e. you don’t go into physical withdrawals) but it can have large impacts on your psychology and day to day to life. For a lot of people it is a massive demotivator and will prevent you from achieving the things you want out of life.

Treat it like an addictive drug. You have a problem, take strong actions to treat it. The good news is that it is much easier to get off than other drugs that have a physical addiction. If you get through 2 or 3 days without smoking the strong urge to smoke should fade. Get rid of your weed, don’t have any in the house when you’re trying to stop. Tell your friends that smoke that you’re trying to stop and not to give you any or smoke around you. Once you’ve gone a a few days without smoking you’ll be shocked how much less the urge is there. Go without for 2 weeks before you even think about smoking again, just to prove to yourself that you can do it.

But it’s very easy to start again, so make some rules around when you allow yourself to smoke. Only use it as a reward for getting stuff done that day. Never smoke 2 days in a row. Every time you go to smoke, tell yourself out loud “I will not achieve any of my goals today”.

lol you’re the one who came in swinging with “for all I know!” “you could be lying!” as soon as I pressed you on a point. That’s the definition of a bad faith argument, you’re not acctually trying to engage with points of discussion you’re just trying to “win” the conversation.

lol do you always assume anyone who disagrees with you is acting in bad faith? Whst a convenient way to shield yourself from uncomfortable truths.

No wonder you’re desperate to lock someone into a relationship with you asap, you sound nuts.

Paranoia wtf? I’ve formed my opinions from my life experiences, are you trying to tell me you’ve done peer reviewed research to decide what makes a good relationship?

I was with my wife for 10 years before I proposed. We have the best relationship of anyone we know. I know plenty of people who married after a couple of years and are fucking miserable.

This is terrible advice. Most people’s “gut” reactions are heavily based on external influences like peer group pressure, media influence and upbringing.

Practice critical thinking.

If you’re in a good relationship but they leave because they couldn’t wait 4 years to get married, then you fucking dodged a bullet. Jesus fucking christ.

Find a skill based hobby that you love and practice it every week. Stuff like a sport, musical instrument, art, etc. The hobby itself will be rewarding but there is no substitute for having decades of experience under your belt for these kind of activities.

Also, don’t have children.

I’ve been a programmer for decades and I still sometimes look at code I wrote 6 months ago like what the fuck was I thinking. Code is as much art as science.

These two having any kind of conversation would be fucking hilarious. Absolute opposite ends of the spectrum of narcisstic assholes, they would both go insane trying to out alpha each other while being completely unable to communicate in any way that made sense to each other.

Super underrated, the final fight is a letdown but the rest of the film is on par with the first.
