Interesting thing raised there, church and state, because there isn't a totally explicit separation between church and state, especially around marriage (and especially especially in fayre England, thanks to Henry VIII).

 I'm personally against gay marriage, because marriage is pretty much a collection of interpretations and customs around a magic book, and I don't see why the users of the magic book should have to change their interpretation to a dodgier one just because the state says so. I also don't see that the state should recognise these "marriage" things done by some priest as legally significant. People want to have the legal/economic status of a "married" couple? Fine, let them get a civil partnership. The state should not involve ceremonies when making laws.

The state doesn't recognize marriages done by a priest/religious rep. This is why you need to sign papers to say you're married, for it to be recognized legally.

Well it's... technically true, I guess.

That's demonstrably false.

Why is it your responsibility?
Because I'm human.

There are over 7 billion humans on Earth.

Why your responsibility?
Because I'm human.

'Tis a bullshit argument, man. Why should you be held responsible for what every single other human on the planet cannot do? You are being awfully hard on yourself.

You're trying to rationalize how you're feeling right now, so you can continue feeling the way you are and coming up with some n00b depressive arguments :P at least find a logical reason for feeling like shit out of nowhere.

Like you're tired, presumably after a stressful week, and need to rest.

I mean you're still in college, right? What resources do you have to bring to muster to make the entire world better? You have the likes of Zuckerberg and Gates with literally billions of dollars invested in charitable projects around the world, and the world still sucks ass. Why the fuck are you responsible for not being able to improve the life of some schmuck on a continent you can't even afford to visit?

If I want to be even more of a helpful dick, I'll point out that you being in the mopey state you are isn't going to fix the world.

Anyway, like Tiruin said, your efforts in this thread are improving the world. It may be at the 6th decimal place or whatever, but goddamnit it's more effort than most people are willing to put in. You don't get to see it, and these folk may come back in the thread later on as though you've not done anything to help, but why do you think some folk keep coming back here? Aye some like to mope, but other folk'll be coming back 'cause there's folk like you who take the time out of their own shit to provide a shoulder to cry on or whatever metaphor you want, because you're, in actuality, fuckin' useful.

So, what you're going to do is piss off and do something for yourself, that you enjoy, 'cause you fuckin' deserve it.

and if you ever put me in a fuckin' position in which I have to be this fuckin' nice and positive again, I'll figure out where you live, come visit and slap you. I don't need positivity in my life man, let me mope under my rock in fuckin' peace, man.

PPE: Kot's last paragraph. I have great distaste for your apparently endless positivity in here, but I also know it's a necessary thing. You bring light to the world, enough so that an ostensible misanthrope like me will tell you to stop being a fucking idiot whenever you speak ill of yourself :P

You got dat cognitive triad bro!

The world is shit, and I'm too shit to fix it, so what's the fuckin' point.

Nein gut.

Why is it your responsibility to fix the world anyway?

I finally did a woman properly! Apparently the ones I draw look like men, but not this one, thank the light.
Okay but real talk I thought you meant you had sex for the first time until I saw 'draw'.
That was my initial thought too. I spent a few moments thinking "that's a very delicate way of saying that. I don't know if that's cute..." before reading the rest of the sentence.

There was a great deal of sex slaviness in the more "civilized" lands man. A woman's job was to bear heirs,  min.

Though in Beyond the Black River he gets a bit... confused as to what colour picts are supposed to have. Toward the beginning, it is stated that they are white, but towards the end he keeps describing them as black.
Those are the especially-heavily tattooed ones! :P

Dany's plot is just the weakest and most boring shit in it.
I dunno, I think Jon Snow's is probably worse.
At least Dany's has Jorah (well, kinda) and [SPOILERS I GUESS], amongst a few other interesting characters.

Jon's one is also the most ridiculous. Isn't he still a teenager?

'cept the most sensible ruler is the gout ridden Middle Eastern equivalent. At least imo, heh.

Though I will say a lot of the white folks, in particular the Lannisters, aren't exactly painted nicely. Incest and backstabbing galore. Also the Boltons.

I would have to agree, to an extent. Personal harm aside, he kinda deserves to be lambasted a bit.

He must've known that the game wasn't going to be able to deliver on a lot of the promises he made, at least right off the bat.

It's... not impossible he was deluding himself to the point that he truly believed that what he was saying was true, but daaaaamm, to the extent that lots of folk who played the game are saying this is not the game they were promised? That takes a special kind of crazy.

I did!

I do have the second season. Not sure I should play it though, seein' as the first one got a bit... boring I guess, toward the end.

They can't really do anything about it beyond "don't run those ads, bro" which is a bit unfortunate.

I mean, I don't even own the game and I'm pissed off they sold the game on heady promises and false advertising.

I would suggest a bakery, or a grocery store with a bakery.

The tiny-ish (though one of the largest retailers in the U.K.) convenience store I worked in had a bakery that did custard tarts. Usually a good idea to go before lunch-time, since most of he stuff gets baked in the morning.
