well okay that breakup was actually way way harder than i even thought it would be
there's definitely a nonzero chance that i fucked my life sideways and threw out a good and stable relationship for no good reason
¯\_(T_T)_/¯
Is there a particular reason you made this decision?

The Space Crone
Ursula K. Le Guin (copyright 1976)
The menopause is probably the least glamorous topic imaginable; and this is interesting, because it is one of the very few topics to which cling some shreds and remnants of taboo. A serious mention of menopause is usually met with uneasy silence; a sneering reference to it is usually met with relieved sniggers. Both the silence and the sniggering are pretty sure indications of taboo.
Most people would consider the old phrase "change of life" a euphemism for the medical term "menopause," but I, who am now going through the change, begin to wonder if it isn't the other way round. "Change of life" is too blunt a phrase, too factual. "Menopause," with its chime-suggestion of a mere pause after which things go on as before, is reassuringly trivial.
But the change is not trivial, and I wonder how many women are brave enough to carry it out wholeheartedly. They give up their reproductive capacity with more or less of a struggle, and when it's gone they think that's all there is to it. Well, at least I don't get the Curse any more, they say, and the only reason I felt so depressed sometimes was hormones. Now I'm myself again. But this is to evade the real challenge, and to lose, not only the capacity to ovulate, but the opportunity to become a Crone.

she wanted a relationship that was for sure going to be the one for her and didn't want to spend good years on something that might not go that way
i tend to approach this kind of thing more organically, and after two years together - while i could at many points imagine settling down with her for good - i couldn't offer her the certainty she's been seeking
that and some other issues stemming both from her insecurities and my selfish childishness, in varying shares, that just kept resurfacing over and over and i felt were going to be a continuous strain on us
she is a very good person and we had a mostly healthy relationship and genuine unconditional love for one another, but i think part of me just didn't see it going the distance for reasons that i will now spend a long time re-litigating in my head
she wanted to bargain on all of it, so it was very difficult to stick to my guns on it, but i'm pretty sure it was just in-the-moment stuff and that real change on these things has to come from within on our respective ends

I can tell you from painful experience, problems don't get better with time. I think you made a reasonable choice here, I know that's hard and I'm sorry

The new xcom expansion is, as others have already said, quite good.
I already had 100 hours of xcom 2 though, and hadn't played for months or maybe even a year, so honestly just playing xcom 2 again, let alone with Soldiers Being Friends, is great. What a fantastic game.

@kedinik welp, I think I've reached the end of this Japan game. Mexico is now fully Japanese, as is California; the culturally-English settlers who now find themselves under the authority of Japan will learn to embrace the kami, in time. Japanese-Mexico is also, for lack of a better word, a nightmare of a country; I think if left to its own (independent) devices it would end up eating the rest of the New World in due course, with the USA (which we assisted in winning their independence) their only true rival.
Basically the only real challenge left is "could I feasibly hurt Ming" and, in all honesty, I think the answer is no - they have 450k standing forces, and god knows how much manpower to back it up. I can bring maybe 300k to bear, but my manpower is low in comparison. If we ended up at war again it'd just be a grind in Manchuria until we peaced out, hundreds of thousands dead for no more reason than to see what would happen.
Still, I feel like I learned a bunch in this game, like "it's still laughably easy to outpace Europe in tech if you dump enough MP into development for institutions" and "never let Ming become a stable blob, oh god, don't do it"

Cannot video, could you summarize?
Sorry data is frequently poor out here.
Clay Travis was on Brook Baldwin's show about on the white supremacy subject and said "The only things which haven't let me down are the 1st amendment. And boobs." Then everything went sideways. Brook was stunned for a while, then finally she shut it down. Cut the mikes. Which is understandable.
This is a little insight into her thoughts during the incident.

So that Shin Lim dude did a second routine on Penn and Teller after a serious hand injury and it was even more impressive. Just totally clean and inscrutable. It seems physically impossible on its face.

Don't get the reference.
Libertarians in the worst possible way.
Wonderful. I knew Penn was a Libertarian, didn't realize he was the among the worst lot.

as someone who cites a bunch of tweets, this is absolutely something I was aware of and have giggled about

Well that's certainly something stupid to say on air.
this is why kittens > cats
kittens have the intellect and demeanor of a happy/curious preschooler
cats have the intellect of a preschooler but the demeanor of a WASP
But Willow is a dreadful host
Also, I still haven't played xcom 2.
I should remedy that.
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
Are you proposing some kind of trade in system? A recycling bank that lets you insert your used cats to receive fresh kittens in exchange?
I heard of places that do that with bison.
