Friends, family, everyone, I feel like I am everyone's last priority. Not that they don't like/love me, just I am at the bottom of their priority list.Other family members and friends always come first.

If we make plans, they will cancel at the slightest resistance. If they are hosting something, I'm the last to be invited, if I am invited at all. If we are talking, they will start ignoring me if someone else starts speaking.

It doesn't matter who, if I try to make new friends, it's always the same story, either because I'm their newest friend or just a total lack of charisma.

Anyone else going through this, and how do you cope?

And to all the people who say just be your own top priority, that is lonely as fuck. I've been doing it for years, and I'm tired boss.

This is a thing I have been doing recently, detaching the audio from movies to add to my audiobook library. Movies that are dialogue heavy where you don't miss much by not seeing what is happening. Have any of you done this, and what movies or TV shows did you do it with? So far I have Conspiracy, Mass, Spotlight, and several episodes of Star Trek TNG, The West Wing and Newsroom.

For me, it is usually my phone, which doubles as my wallet with a credit card, a debit card, my Costco card and Driver License in my right pocket, my Earbuds, chapstick, and keys in my left pocket. My employee ID/fob or dog treats in my back left (depending if I am walking the dog or at work), and any random papers or receipts I get in my back right pocket.

Aemon the Dragon Knight joined the Kingsguard and took their oath. But if there was no other Targaryen to sit the throne, if his uncle, cousins, father, brother and nephew all died, would his oath end the line of Targaryen kings, or do you think he would be able to sit the Iron throne, take a wife and continue the Dynasty?

I was watching Star Trek TNG recently and was wondering if I would make the same decision as Riker did. I probably would because it is the Enterprise and most star trek fans dream of being on that ship, but if it wasn't specifically the Enterprise, just a generic flag ship of a navy, would my decision change?

I try to make an effort to reach out to friends and family, but the rejection can wear me down fast when they keep telling me they are to busy to talk or do anything with me. How many time will you reach out to a person before you stop trying?

If Rhaenys didn't die in Dorne, and outlived her husband/brother and her son, do you think she would have mounted Meraxes to potentially fight against Maegor on Balerion and Visenys on Vhaegar to support her grandson Aegons claim to the iron throne? In addition to Rhaena on Dreamfire and Aegon on Quicksilver, could we have had the Dance of the Dragons a few generations early?

When I start as a landless adventure, I like to do a world tour, not just to collect the experience from points of interest, but also to recruit the best unique Men at Arms units from my Patrons. Which units are the best for each type? Best Horsemen, heavy infantry, bowmen, spearmen etc...

You have a magical dial you can turn in your head. Turn it left, and it will inflict pain, but earn you money. Turn it right and it will give pleasure, but cost you money. The further each direction you turn it, the more money you spend/earn, and the more pleasure/pain you feel.

You can decide to turn it in any direction at any time, or set it in neutral (which isn't no pain, but just your normal self with no added pain or pleasure from the dial)

The money earned/spent will be relative to inflation, your income, socioeconomic status, and cost of living where you are (so if you are poor or rich, it will scale how much money is needed for pleasure or you earn from pain). And the level of pain/pleasure will also be relative to your own pain/pleasure tolerance. But to give an example: A regular middle class person in America could feel a minor ache for 10$ an hour, a noticeable amount of pain for 100$ an hour and a distracting level of pain for 1k per hour, and 10k per hour the worst pain possible to feel. Or spend 10$ an hour for a minor high/buzz, 100$ an hour for a noticeable amount of pleasure, and 1k per hour for orgasmic pleasure, and 10k per hour for the maximum pleasure possible.

How do you use it? Quit your job an live off bursts of pain? Work even harder and pour all your money into more pleasure? Constantly switch between the two? Leave it in Neutral?

You can not stop the timer once it has started. You can't extend or add any more time. It does not matter who or where the person is or how they died. The money is 1 million dollars CAD for every one person who dies.

Option A:

All of humanity is wiped out, every person alive will suddenly disappear, effectively dying, and everything we made will be removed from the earth, effectively returning it to how it was hundreds of thousands of years ago before humanity began.

However, you and 10,000 people will get to start over on a new world, one capable of providing for the people's needs as well as earth, where you will have enough supplies and infrastructure to sustain the new settlement and get started.

You will get to choose these 10,000 people, either directly by individual, or indirectly, by their attributes. So you could say I want to bring my family and the most capable farmers, mechanics and scientists.

Option B: Everyone else get's to live, humanity keeps going how it has been, and you spend the rest of your life in prison.

Playing the Century of Blood campaign from the bookmark submod, and was wondering on how to best dismantle the mega "Kingdom of the Trident" holding all the Riverlands, Crownlands and Stormlands? Just subjugate the storm king and start revoking titles, or declare war on all his vassals one at a time to break them off of his kingdom. I am still pretty new to the game, so any advice is welcome. Also i only have the main game, none of the DLC
