is it possible to enjoy wormholes with a single account? there were a lot of things i liked about eve but always hated the normalization of everyone having 3+ accounts. i quit playing after the last war and the price increased seemed like the final nail but i've never tried living in a wormhole.

you all have too much of yourselves invested in this high school esque student government project. most people in the imperium (maybe a big chunk of the people that are fun to play the game with) are barely aware of what's going on, and you're going to make yourself insane thinking you're going to wake them up.

i tested in the 99.9th percentile for English consistently thru school i actually think in words in my head and sounds is a visual-spatial thing,
i think i might have a mild kinda synesthesia thing but I've never gotten tested for it i can read in big chunks is rhe best way to describe it?

I can remember when a movie came out pretty much forever if i see the year in parentheses after the title once i just remember the shape

it's how i was so good at eve market stuff

i just popped through pages and looked at the contour of the amount/price/age of the orders& can read the order page like a snapshot -moment of the order history and could kinda track the shape in my head

I've never met a person who reads as quickly as me I'm not kidding it always made me feel kind weird as a kid

by 1st grade they just let me read books during all the phonics reading stuff id crush 1 goosebumps during the hour they did it

read the 4th harry potter book the day it came out, i turned 11y/o the week before, i read the 5th one in a day too

u witnessing a new breed rh

im terrible at remembering stuff i hear comparatively because I've gotta kind of translate it all to text in my head is that a thing

Echoing this, especially that first paragraph. None of us are who we used to be nor ignore that. We learned and moved on with a better view of ourselves and others even though it may have been hard and painful to look and admit it. Still happened, no matter how long ago or recent the learning occurred. This thread is a testament to that, and the result of the unpleasant route groomswarm took and stays on.

There are people who speak English outside of the USA so maybe that has a role to play in that word's choice in the corporation name :shrug:

there's no need to be so upset at me since I was just offering a possible rationale to the name. :shrug:

i mean you are right. i'd liken it to why nobody throws "-waffe" at the end of a word other than their lovely space guild. thankfully it only took some folks until last week to realize that place was not a very good or safe place to be. so that's good and its also good bfm got the boot.

anyway i hope you're not trying to use me explaining an english word that exists to paint me as any form of racist because boy that would be really messed up. :(

i don't know you, but if you are giving them the benefit of the doubt or offering a "possible explanation" then at the very least you are extremely credulous and stupid. at worst you understand the dog whistle and are winking along with it.

i would like to hear your thoughts on what speaking english outside the usa has to do with picking that word as the corp name, though

Maybe it means something to a redneck who has social issues but then having a person dropping the N word seems to be a huge no-no but when a black person does it, nothing is said.

this is going to sound condescending, i guess, but i am genuinely curious. it seems clear that many people in this thread view how they participate in this video game as a moral choice. do you make analogous decisions in your real life? like, never shopping on amazon, working for a company whose head has credible sexual harassment or discrimination claims, etc. video games are way lower stakes, i suppose where the consequences of sticking to your principles isn't as high. i don't mind being called a moron for still being in gsf, but the tension of constantly watching everything that has a tertiary relationship with your consumption habits (in this case, video gaming) seems very stressful

that would be funny, op. i agree with some of the above posters that my metaphor was bad, however. from my perspective as an extremely casual line member that never looks at the (gf) forums or listened to firesides, etc, maybe a more accurate metaphor is quitting your local soccer club because fifa is extremely abusive and corrupt. maybe the people in the eve thread, who play more seriously and built part of that organization, see it differently than i do
