I couldn’t stand the character. It feels like another level of evil to be able to read minds but still trample the fuck over everyone’s boundaries.

The funniest posts are when commenters get angry OP disagrees with them or makes their own decisions. It’s like they think seeking advice creates a binding contract to follow that advice if it gets agreed with enough.

If you follow advice that you don’t agree with, you are an idiot, even if the advice is actually good. And disagreeing or arguing when you don’t agree is a good way to resolve it if you don’t see why someone would suggest that.

People should only go to that sub for entertainment. Or if you bring a real problem there, use it as a way to get a variety of different perspectives while keeping in mind some commenters might be literal teenagers (or even younger) with no life experience and half of the replies will be either projecting their own shit onto your situation, won’t understand what you wrote, or want to play Sherlock Holmes but their version relies on assumptions they pull out of their ass instead of genius level observational skills, logic, and most of all, the favour of sir Arthur Conan Doyle who can write him as smart or as dumb as his plot about a genius detective needs him to be. Oh, and assholes, the real assholes are in the comments.

And if you scroll down to the bottom of the thread, you get to see some really interesting world views. Or sometimes the rational ones when one of the more popular biases gets triggered.

Dick Cheney: Ok, I’ll clean up the mess.

Narrator: He said “up” but meant “out”.

Eliminate the corporate veil. The people making and benefiting from the decisions made by corporations should be the ones liable, not some entity that doesn’t really exist and can be made to truly not exist if continuing pretending to exist cuts off the money train.

Though this would require fixing the justice and political systems first, since they’ve been corrupted by people who think this is the way things should look.

He did look pretty cool landing a fighter jet on that carrier before those embarrassing photos where he briefly thought the Iraq war ended with Saddam being deposed, too.

Is it a collection of games or more of a mashup? Ie, do you get a menu where you pick one of many games that are independent of each other, or is there an overall narrative (or something) that ties them all together like the NES remix packs?

Which is just regular conservation of momentum plus a force directing it towards some center point it oscillates around, which feels weird because you can hold a lot more of it in your hands than you normally can without that oscillation.

Oh come on, Mr Bean wasn’t that weird.

I’ve got Gran Turismo 7 and it’s great in some ways but they ruined the pacing of the game. It hands out cars like they expire in less than a week. It can be fun to try out a whole bunch of different cars, but there’s not much sense of progression like the older ones gave.

I remember building a connection to some of the cars in older games. When you bought a car, it was meaningful because it took time to win enough money to afford something, and then I’d spend a while upgrading it until eventually hitting a ceiling and needing a better car to upgrade to progress to more races. And then add some variety with a few races with rules or restrictions along the way to give a reason to buy some other cards in the same tier, but then then it would be a big decision.

In GT7, all except the top end supercars feel like an afterthought, my garage gets filled for free as I win races, and any time I want to try a different car, first thing I do is buy most or all of the upgrades because it’s all trivial. Race with limiting rules? Ok, give me 5 minutes and I’ll find, buy, and max out another car to win this one.

Granted, it has more of an emphasis on the driving than the older ones did (where you could usually take your super car into whatever races your wanted and see how many times you could lap everyone), but I think I like the progressing through cars part more than the racing part and GT7 is disappointing in that regard compared to GT4 or GT3.

I see it as an anti feature, like a website’s ability to create a pop up without any user interaction or navigate without the user clicking such that the back button doesn’t go to the previous url but instead to some point you scrolled to in the site.

Any of those topics that people who care more about society being polite than just tell you to avoid are ones that should be not just discussed but agreed on before making a relationship legally binding. Religion, money, politics. They are each too serious for “agree to disagree” to last long.

Maybe it’s not about humans and never has been. Maybe by the time the gods realized how much of an issue humans were, we were already too widespread for them to destroy us without either running out of mana or ruining earth for everything.

Maybe the cancer is a god’s plan, but it’s not working well enough.

Just like when a news website pops up a request to send notifications. Um fuck no? I’m not sitting around waiting for new propaganda to drop such that I want to know immediately when something comes out.

Pointing a gun at something should be treated with the same severity as pointing it at something and pulling the trigger. Yes, police included.

I didn’t go cold turkey but made myself stick with Dvorak in mIRC. I was competent with Dvorak within a couple of weeks and then switched everything with actual typing to Dvorak within a month or two while using qwerty for things where I just wanted to type before that.

At this point (some 20 years later), typing with qwerty takes concentration but Dvorak is so comfortable.

That was with a qwerty layout keyboard just changing the layout in software and using an image on my 2nd monitor as a guide that I needed for maybe a couple of weeks. I also did drilling with typing games. Programming symbols took the longest to get used to. I still haven’t gotten an actual Dvorak layout keyboard (which does make it easier when I do need to use qwerty).

We’re just taking over their digestion process, among other things!

It’s also a loophole for people like Trump to take advantage of because a tip isn’t owed, it’s voluntary. So he’ll be able to get away with not paying his bills by promising some tip and then reneging on that promise for whatever reason and then only take the reputation hit rather than that plus maybe a lawsuit if they pursue it.

Maybe that’s the real reason Giovanni had that press conference at four seasons landscaping. Make it look like someone made a dumb but relatable mistake instead of admitting that no one wanted to host them.

Immigrants are eating pets just like registered Republicans are attempting to assassinate political candidates!
