Yeah, I was surprised when I realized Japan loved it so much. Them and my grandmother. I actually like it but in much smaller amounts.

Don’t a lot of platforms online not let you buy Monero because of this? Like how do people buy Monero through a reputable source?

Bitcoin specifically was never meant as a currency. There is a reason why people call it “digital gold”. I do find myself hesitant to buy it since people buy it with the goal of getting rich, it ruins the entire point.

In theory I actually love the idea of Bitcoin, something independent of resources. I know that sounds weird, but the moment asteroid mining gets big, traditional money storage will get rocked, hard. While something like Bitcoin, in theory, would be safe.

I see deregulation as generally a bad thing if you want any of this to be taken seriously and not be manipulated. At least, for most of them. In theory you could have a crypto that is very resilient to manipulation, I just don’t know if that exists right now.

The way they use the term ‘expansion’ in the article confused me. They are just talking about how the free content updates have been moved to be sooner than originally planned. They aren’t taking about DLC or an entire paid expansion.

It’s probably good the content comes out sooner seeing as how many lose interest at the current drip feed if content. I wish they would fix the games actual problems though. Or even just the hardware issues.

Trauma Trauma can easily make it where you can’t stand your own thoughts or how you feel. So anything that augments that can be very attractive.

I’d day mental health too, even if you don’t have known traumas. Major depression, etc. But I know women who can’t relax or aren’t very intimate unless they drink. But as someone with an alcoholic father, alcohol has some big dark sides. Even if you are happy when you drink, it can really mess your brain up.

Insecurity, self doubt, anxiety. To me it sounds like you might have had bullies or someone that used lots of put downs in your life.

I’d imagine you have plenty of room to love and be loved. Having a boyfriend/girlfriend really is less about being worthy and more about wanting one. Why do I say that? Because there are plenty of nasty people in relationships and nasty people single. Same goes for good people.

I’d probably focus on why you are having these thoughts, and if you can, find a good therapist that works with you.

In the meantime meet men, join a club or social event for something you like that also exposes you to men.

As far as sex goes, a good partner will listen to you and work with you. A good partner cares that you enjoy it and feel comfortable and loved. My spouse sees themselves as gross sometimes, but I very rarely see them that way. As long as the hygiene is reasonable, I don’t have issues. But we communicate well, talk through it, and have a good time.

Something to keep in mind, I wouldn’t want to love myself intimately the way they do with me, but I love to be intimate with them in a way they wouldn’t do with themselves. My point is, let them love you and in return you love them back. They can decide what “gross” is for them and through communication you both set your boundaries, be it sex or daily life.

That ended up being a lot. Anyways, always remember to focus on self care when you are unwell. Remember that others may love the flaws that you don’t like, you might do the same for someone else one day too.

I mean a lot of billionaires keep messing with New Zealand politics because it is one of their backup islands to flee to after they destroy their current homes.

It would help if there were guarantees you could download via Nintendo servers for X years as long as the company exists. They would never agree, but something like 40 years. Then if the company no longer exists it’s given to the community.

It’s true though, unless something crazy like that became normal, physical games have significantly more value. I do think that the average person cares more about price and convenience today vs whatever happens tomorrow.
