Thank you and thank you also for the conversation

I would say that prohibition of local abortion healthcare is not the answer regardless as to what other options are available.

Since writing the OP I've found a local pregnancy center that offers services in alignment with the above that is in need of male volunteers. I'll have my orientation next week and hope to be of help there.

start a car service that ONLY gives free rides to women and one or two support people

A transportation service is a great idea, thank you for sharing

Minetest is actually what we play - I host a server for me and my kiddos and have tried out several different games / mods

Currently preparing to move back to Asuna with an increase in mob mods and some of our other favorites

Minecraft and other open-ended games without much guidance toward specific goals.

While I do enjoy freely exploring a large open world I also lose track of the point of playing at all... add some quest objectives or something and it's perfect.

Ditto here - I get bored super fast when gaming alone but put me on a server with others and I can easily play for hours

This and a proper height pillow for your sleep position

I sleep on my side and needed a thicker pillow to better align my neck for example

VoxeLibre is designed to be very similar to Minecraft without needing to tinker with mods or settings so I would definitely suggest starting there

That said we've ran several different Minetest worlds and our other favorite was Asuna with additional mods

Thank for responding; I share your passion around the issue

I am assuming you are in the US, in that case there are little programs available to help a woman raise a child she does not want especially if it is a red state.

This is the kind of information I am looking for

They do little background checks on people who foster and adopt

As a foster parent of 8.5 years this is highly variable on the area; ours for example was extremely thorough and we were able to see several children's lives improved through their placements - I do not however want to discount that the opposite does also happen though I do not have the answer as to any better solution beyond providing significantly more support to all areas of the foster system. We need more well-meaning people to get involved both as social workers and especially as foster / adoptive parents.

In my opinion, the logical path for straddling both sides is to leave the pregant woman’s choice 100% intact, but then make it easy for her to choose the pregnancy. In other words, universal healthcare, a high-quality child care network, maternity leave, and assistance for getting the child adopted. Preventing unwanted pregnancies by providing contraceptives also helps a lot. I feel like that’s also why this discussion hardly exists in developed nations outside of the US, because they have these things.

Agreed and I think this is where the group is aiming along with myself as well

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Agreed and so far all of my interactions with their team have matched that stance so I am hopeful.

For a long time I have not felt belonging to either the Pro Choice or Pro Life groups and recently came across ProGrace which sets politics aside to focus on aiding the woman and meeting her needs directly both during and after her pregnancy regardless as to how she decides to proceed. This got my attention and I have since taken their training course, listened to their podcast and started some of their recommended reading to further my understanding.

In full disclosure I am a white christian male in the southeastern USA who has experienced two unplanned pregnancies myself and after learning of how terribly the church has handled their support of women, especially around unplanned pregnancy, I am looking to work with my wife to educate those within our sphere of influence to address this.

However, as mentioned above, I am a male and so naturally my experience around the issue simply does not compare to the depth of emotion and trauma that a woman would experience and so I am hoping to learn from those here who are or have experienced an unplanned pregnancy to better understand what support is needed to bring women through the traumas associated, overcome the fear and shame around the issue, and just generally help in any way I can.

I know this is a sensitive topic and so I would not ask for sharing directly in the comments here. Rather I am hoping to chat directly whether via Signal, email, etc. or even a quick call for those comfortable with that (can use Jitsi, Signal or another private voice chat to avoid needing to share any personal details). I would like to simply listen to your experience; I will not debate, judge, etc. as my goal is entirely to learn.

Thank you for taking the time to read and consider.

TMB has been on my wishlist for years but the price tag has been too high... this week I noticed it was in stock and a bit of extra funds had came in as well so I decided it was time to finally buy a copy.

The game arrived today and I'm super impressed with the component quality. Even the tuck boxes and other component containers are well beyond the quality I've come to expect in a high quality board game.

Hopefully will find time in an upcoming busy weekend to squeeze in a first play.

Buddy of mine just picked up No Man's Sky on Switch but it lacks the multiplayer features of other systems.

He only has Switch and I only have PC so I've come here to ask:

Aside from Minecraft or Terraria what other games are available on both Switch and PC that we could play cooperatively together?

Also it's totally fine if I need to host a dedicated server for it.

Edit: specifically need PC version playable on Linux and ideally something open world.
