I’m a professional programmer and factorio scratches the same itch as designing systems.

It teaches you about constraints, modular design, pub sub architectures, input output flow, etc.

Sniper Elite Five is fun. It only has gore when you are shooting Nazis and it is always morally good to shoot Nazis.

I’m sorry you are going through this. I haven’t had any experience like this besides having an alcoholic sister.

But I’d just suggest that you need to try to come to terms with the fact that your pop seems like an asshole. This is all speculation. I bet he convinced you to stay with him as a way to hurt your mom. You as a person were not important to him, but he wanted to use you. So when you turned 18, he didn’t want to deal with you anymore because it cost him more than he got out of it.

You can’t do anything to change him, you can just work on you. For me with my sister, I just sort of accepted that she is who she is and I’ll never have the relationship I wanted with her. I don’t go out my way to avoid her, but I certainly don’t really ever try to interact with her. It has worked, but the relationship between siblings is less important I think than a parent child relationship.

Maybe therapy could help? Or read up on narcissistic personality disorder and see if that fits your dad.

I’ll compensate them with some advice. Don’t make investments in fascist states.

Maybe India needs a good round of sanctions until Modi is fucking kicked out? Killing people on our soil seems like a step too far.

You know what women in Italy in the renaissance did to their husbands who displeased them? Used aqua tofana to solve that problem.

Coal billionaires are getting more money tho, so who’s to say if it is all that bad.

Lots of Greyzone tankie bullshit on lemmy lately.

They should make this the default.
