It's not super old, but the original BioShock is one of those games that you can point to and say "this is art". It's an amazing exploration of Ann Rand, capitalism, addiction, art, deregulation, unions, and greed, all with the most beautiful art deco levels. The mechanics of the powers you get are tied into the themes and your choices of how to acquire them are in themselves a statement of the self vs others. It's well thought out from the ground up, from aesthetic choices to narrative ones, and one of the few games that absolutely nails it.

I enjoy the gameplay of the second one even better, though I feel the attempt to explore collectivism doesn't fit as well by using the same motifs as the first one, the dlc Minerva's Den has the most tragic exploration of identity and the singularity out there.

The third is fun to play but I think they were trying to explore too much of everything at once, between America, racism, classism, quantum states and everything else, and unlike the first two, the mechanics of the plasmids didn't really lend anything to the story. The dlc is fun, but rewrote a poignant lesson from the base game and watered it down.

So those people being cold and not talking to you?

That's how you came off to the people at your last job. Probably why they complained.

Then instead of focusing on the people who responded to you positively, you're using the people who acted like you as an excuse to go back to your previous behavior.

I think that your attitude to the situation might be stemming from some misanthropy from some past trauma or something, idk. This is something you might want to talk to a therapist about or at least think over and objectively assess yourself.

What type of socialization do you want? Do you actually want to talk to people and have positive experiences at the risk of negative ones, or would you want to be left alone and not take that risk, but instead take on the risk of people disliking you?

Personally, I'd suggest just talk to the people who are nice to you and get to know them and leave be the ones who want to be left alone.

Keep a set of swimwear in your car. If you go to a place and forgot your swimsuit? Got the backup. Go to a hotel and find out they had a pool you didn't know about? Backup in the car. Accidentally shit yourself? Got at least something on you. Do I shit myself enough to worry about it? Not since I was a baby but now I know I got swim trunks in my car just in case.

Bullshit. Go John Brown on them. The oppressed have not gotten freedoms just by asking nicely.

To be fair, the fighting would be guerilla warfare which the us hasn't been that great at dealing with.

Oh man I'd love to, but with the current voting system and the two parties, it's between a shit sandwich and a shit sandwich with razors in it.

I think that calling veganism privileged is a response to the more militant vegans who don't realize that economic hardship and food scarcity can make their version of veganism unsustainable for some people.
