I’m kinda in the same boat here. Shouldn’t the push be for making state ID cards free?

There is nothing they could possibly slap into a ‘smart ring’ that would make it worth wearing a battery around my finger.

Certainly doesn’t help that it’s ugly as hell.

Your comment would make more sense if we weren’t talking about industrial monoculture crop production. Honeybees are certainly important in a broad sense (though not to any ecosystems in the US, they are not a native species after all), but they are not involved in the production of these ingredients, and the original image is wildly misleading (though obviously made with good intentions).

A lot of that is just age too. From my experience, once you get past your mid 20s the constant hornyness dies down. I’m in my late 30s and I still love sex, but it’s not a need in any capacity.

I can understand the aversion, especially when it is so ever present in our society.

The thing is, why shouldn’t it be? Sex is completely normal, natural, and frankly incredibly important to us as a species. It’s only slightly less important than eating and breathing. Not necessarily on an individual level, but as a collective. Sex is the reason every single one of us exists today.

Unfortunately many religions like to use it for control, they connect it to shame, evil, weakness, corruption. They work very hard to make something that is inherently beautiful into something their followers fear and hide from, leading them to engage in deeper cultural taboos. After all, if watching porn is already a sin, and all sins are equal, then there’s no difference in looking at the Venus de Milo or watching graphic rape. This criminalization of normal sexuality is incredibly depressing to me.

Anyway, at this point I’m just rambling about my own issues. I do hope that you come to find peace with it, even if it never appeals to you personally.

I’d have to know what a ‘normal’ person is to recognize one, and it’s a concept that just fundamentally doesn’t make sense to me. What does a ‘normal’ fingerprint look like?

Really? I don’t think I ever have.

There is no way that story is true right? How would that be any way better than a normal wide glass with a low center of gravity? Those would be rolling back and forth all over a rocking boat.

Just like all the thousands of people eating tide pods? Or maybe it’s just rage bait…

Don’t give him credit for TFA. That film set the entire trilogy up for failure with its opening crawl. There was no future for the sequels as soon as he decided to make a shitty ANH remake.

It’s both, people don’t draw inspiration from just one thing. It’s also Hidden Fortress, but that doesn’t make the WW2 elements any less relevant. Star Wars is about the fight against fascism and imperialism in many forms.

How is Star Wars even remotely grimdark? That’s just a wild criticism.

And the game you’re talking about literally has no Jedi or Sith at all, it’s entirely about the regular people of the galaxy.

It did hurt Bud Light pretty massively for a while there. They still haven’t recovered their market share.

That’s literally the only example I can come up with.

I mean, Germany is doing alright these days from what I understand.

Yeah, that’s exactly what they’re talking about, did you not read the rest of that post?

4chan runs ads like any other site. I mean it’s mostly stuff that wouldn’t be allowed on most sites, sex toys and whatnot, but this seems right up that alley. I doubt they’re talking about organic posts.

Yeah I absolutely do not care about that. I also won’t bother to get a 4k TV until I get some banger clearance deal or something because it does not fucking matter. I grew up on tube tvs dude, anything that isn’t fuzzy is golden. Most of what I’m playing is either indie or ancient, and seeing giant pixels in perfect clarity does nothing to improve the experience.

That’s fair, it is streaming only at the moment. I had honestly forgotten, I don’t play much that really needs perfect latency, so I’ve just been enjoying streaming on mine for months now.

You want access to games or services that are either better or only available on Windows without having to deal with the desktop Windows interface. That is literally the reason to buy it. Game Pass and popular live services can woo plenty of people over.

What would that be exactly? Gamepass already works great on linux, it’s a better experience on my steam deck than fighting with my windows laptop.

It seems like the main audience is people who are scared of Linux and just don’t want to learn something new.

Nah, I’ll just keep gaming on a cheap Linux PC and fuck ever buying a console again. Honestly at this point a 5 year old GPU gives you access to 99% of all games ever made, why spend so much to play 4 shitty ‘AAAA’ games a year?
