One reason women get so angry about having to “tell a man what needs to be done” and why they will never stop complaining is because

For men, the stress is heavily tied to EXECUTION. The actual work.

The garbage needs to go out? Take it out.
The garage is a mess? Saturday.
The sink needs fixing? I’ll handle it after work.

He mentally schedules the problem, puts it in a box, and stops carrying it until it’s time to act.

But for women, the stress starts LONG BEFORE the physical work.

She notices the laundry, remembers the groceries, thinks about tomorrow’s dinner, sees the dirty bathroom, remembers the kid needs an appointment next month and suddenly she feels like she has already been working for hours.

That’s the “mental load.”

The problem begins when managing your own mental load becomes SOMEONE ELSE’S responsibility.

“I shouldn’t have to tell you.”

Why not?

Communication is not oppression. Your husband is not a mind reader or Professor XAVIER from XMEN

If five things are running through your head simultaneously, he doesn’t automatically inherit those five thoughts simply because he lives with you.

And constantly THINKING about a task doesn’t necessarily make the task more physically difficult…it can make YOUR EXPERIENCE of it more stressful.

Men cope by compartmentalizing: identify the problem, schedule it, execute it, move on. Simple.

That isn’t necessarily laziness. Sometimes it’s exactly how they PREVENT mental overload.

So instead of demanding psychic abilities, communicate.

“Garbage is full.” Okay.

“We need groceries tomorrow.” Okay.

“Can you wash the dishes tonight?” Okay.

Problem identified. Problem handled.

A peaceful household doesn’t require two people obsessing over the same mental checklist. It requires COMMUNICATION, division of responsibility, and execution. Plain and simple.

Your man doesn’t need to think exactly like you to be a good partner.

And making him GUESS what you’re thinking isn’t emotional intelligence.

Telling him clearly is. Stay bless.

Ive been seeing a lot of confusion about the Space King Boardgame Kickstarter. So I've decided to give everyone some key information regarding pledging to the campaign and doing your part for Space King!

-The "Recruit" tier only gives you the board game for $20 off. If you want stretch goal rewards and extras, you have to get the "Psycho Warrior" tier or higher.

-You will NOT be charged immediately upon pledging. Instead, your card will be charged when the Kickstarter ends on September 25th at 5 PM PST.

-Upon checkout, you can split the payment into 3 separate charges paid once a month. So, if you get the Psycho Warrior edition for $299, you will pay around $99.67 each month for 3 months starting on the 25th instead of having to pay the full sum all at once.

-Reminder that this is a purchase you will not receive until December 2027 (with KS projects, you could receive your stuff earlier or later than this as this is just an estimate). So, do not buy in and expect to paint models in a month or two. This is a buy and forget kind of thing.

-I can personally confirm that @FlashgitzAnims has an amazing track record when it comes to choosing good manufacturing companies when it comes to merch and figures. Their larger Psycho Warrior model released earlier this year was of great quality and with this high of a backing they should be able to provide some good minis.

-The miniatures are made of high quality PVC. Compared to Games Workshop's Polystyrene plastic, PVC is a softer vinyl plastic. I will admit, this is a cheaper material that most mass produced tabletop games use for miniatures such as Gloomhaven and Fallout: Wasteland Warfare. They're pretty simple to work on and possibly simpler than GW minis, honestly. Here are just a few tips regarding painting PVC minis:

1. PVC does not react to plastic glue. You must use super glue. Luckily this wont be an issue since Space King minis come pre-assembled.

2. You must wash the minis with soap, an old toothbrush/sponge, and warm water before priming so the primer will stick better. Basically like you do with resin.

3. Warping/bending with thinner parts (like swords or antenas) can happen with PVC minis, however it's a super easy fix. Simply put the messed up part in a bowl of hot water (just below boiling) for 10-30 seconds. It should automatically correct itself. Then immediately dunk it in a bowl of ice cold water for 20-30 seconds to set the position.

And those are all the tips I have for supporting the Space King Boardgame on Kickstarter. Please share this around to help others with purchase anxiety.

PRAISE BE TO SPACE KING, KING OF SPACE!

I am so freaking done with the “Patrick was never investigated” bullshit.

Stop acting like police just shrugged, patted Patrick Clancy on the back, and sent him on his way. That is a lie.

Every scrap of evidence points to Lindsay. Her own defense says Lindsay did it. First responders found her outside after she jumped and then found the kids in the basement. The 911 call shows Patrick discovering the children—not sitting there watching them die.

He left the house. There is CVS video. There is a restaurant timestamp. There is phone data. He was gone. She was home. That is the timeline. That is the case.

Yet somehow, three murdered children have been turned into fanfiction about their father because some of you cannot accept one simple, ugly fact: a mother killed her children, and the evidence points to her.

Patrick was not “protected.” He was ruled out because he was not there. Lindsay’s lawyers are not accusing him. Police charged Lindsay within 21 hours because the scene, the timeline, and her own words all pointed to one person.

So if you are still screaming, “But why wasn’t Patrick a suspect?” after all of that, you are not asking legitimate questions. You are addicted to a story that makes you feel smarter than the evidence.

You are insufferable. Get a damn life. Leave this poor man alone.

Every dad, every man should read Patrick Clancy’s 911 call transcript.

Dawson was his first son. The first son to a father is an incredible bond that only God can accurately explain.

My gut is wrenching and I cannot stop thinking about it.

𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: My wife tried to commit suicide.
𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿: Stay awake. How old is she?
𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: 31–33.
𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿: Is she awake?
𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: Yes.
𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿: Is she breathing?
𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: Yeah. Lindsay, what did you do to your neck? She’s talking.
𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿: When did this happen?
𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: Last half hour.
𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿: How far did she fall?
𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: 20 feet.
𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿: Is she responding normally?
𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: A little bit. Wake up!
𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿: What part of the body was injured?
𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: Her neck. She’s breathing. Lindsay, look at me. Look at me.
𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿: Are there weapons?
𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: I don’t see any. Where are the kids?
𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿: Do not move her.
𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: Open your eyes. Lindsay, look at me. Open your eyes. Say my name.
𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿: I’m going to tell you how to stop the bleeding.
𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: It’s not really bleeding… open wounds. She’s in the backyard.
𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿: Is there something on her neck? Can you put pressure on it?
𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: No. Lindsay, wake up. They’re coming. Look at me.
𝗦𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘀. First responders arrive.
𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: I need you to stay with her. I have to go check on my kids.
𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲 / 𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁
𝗙𝗼𝗼𝘁𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽𝘀.
𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: Guys? Guys?
Cora? Cora?
Dawson?
Oh no. Oh no!
Wake up!
Then screaming and gasping for an extended stretch.
𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿: What’s going on? Hello?
𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: Basement! Basement! Oh my God! I need help in the basement right now.
𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿: Hello? Hello?
𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: Dawson! My buddy! My little boy! My buddy!
AHHHHH, SHE KILLED THE KIDS!!! Oh my God!

When your game is so important that more law enforcement is going to get used to arrest a video game leaker who name isn't known, than a island full of preds whose names are documented

[⍑⍲☈⌾ 🍥♓ @TaroTheCerelean]

Let's do this one last time:

- all digital. No physical release
- sells base game for $80 and locks regular in game content behind $20 extra. So base game is really $100.
- opened pre-orders months before showing any gameplay.
- first bit of gameplay shown will be locked behind paywall (unless you look at leeks)
- and now apparently the game is unfinished, meaning, they've opened pre-orders for an unfinished game.
- for a bonus Rockstar fully expects you to not care about any of this and just play the game.

This is the biggest scam in gaming history😭

[Kifflom! @KifflomGames]

🚨| Última Hora:

Comunicado Oficial de Cyberleek, el grupo detrás de la nueva filtración de GTA VI donde exigen el cumplimiento de los siguientes puntos:

PUNTO 1:

Ningún consumidor deberá pagar por un juego a través de tiendas digitales antes de su lanzamiento y de que existan análisis independientes. Las preventas físicas de medios tangibles seguirán estando permitidas.

Las preventas no fueron creadas para los jugadores. Se crearon porque los discos físicos tenían límites de fabricación. En la distribución digital no hay inventario. No hay escasez de existencias. Una copia digital no puede agotarse. Sin embargo, las editoras mantuvieron el sistema de preventa y eliminaron su único beneficio para el consumidor. Ahora los jugadores pagan por adelantado y no reciben nada a cambio, excepto un temporizador de cuenta atrás y una apariencia cosmética.

Si las editoras quieren obtener ingresos antes del lanzamiento, pueden fabricar discos. Imprimir cajas. Ponerlos en las estanterías. Ganar ese dinero mediante la producción física.

PUNTO 2:

Ninguna editora deberá vender acceso a contenido para un jugador que ya esté presente en los archivos del juego base que el consumidor ha comprado.

Esto significa: no a las claves de desbloqueo, no a archivos de marcador de posición de 1 MB, no a cambiar una variable de bloqueado a desbloqueado para contenido que ya está en el disco o en la descarga.

Cuando alguien paga más de 70 USD por un juego, ha comprado los datos. Todos ellos. Venderles un archivo que cambia de locked = true a locked = false para una misión, personaje, arma o capítulo de la historia para un jugador significa cobrarles dos veces por el mismo producto.

PUNTO 3:

Cualquier juego que incluya contenido para un jugador deberá incluir un estado alternativo sin conexión. Cuando finalice el soporte del servidor, la editora deberá publicar un parche final que desbloquee todo el contenido para un jugador para su uso local e indefinido.

The Crew tenía una campaña para un jugador. La gente pagó el precio completo. Después, Ubisoft cerró los servidores y todo el juego murió, incluido el contenido para un jugador. Sin reembolsos. Sin parche. Sin alternativa.

El contenido para un jugador depende de una única cosa: el hardware que el consumidor ya posee. Hacer que muera cuando los servidores desaparecen es un robo.

Estos tres puntos son el suelo, no el techo, de lo que resulta aceptable. Si las editoras los incumplen, serán señaladas.

CYBERLEEK seguirá interrumpiendo sus operaciones hasta que emitan una declaración pública y una disculpa con un compromiso concreto para reparar el daño que han causado.

No habrá negociaciones privadas. No habrá acuerdos silenciosos. El público lo verá, o los «leaks» no se detendrán.

Las editoras deberían tener cuidado. Si CYBERLEEK puede llegar hasta Rockstar, nadie está a salvo.

Este es un mensaje para todas las grandes corporaciones: comportaos o seréis el próximo objetivo.

[skumm🧊 @skumWgmi]

Nobody wants to work anymore.

CORRECT. No one wants to work 50 hours a week for a salary that hasn't kept up with inflation since 1979, pay 40% of it in rent, get 10 days PTO, no sick days, no pension, no job security, and be told they're replaceable at any moment.

You solved it. That's the full sentence.
