  You can really change that to “should” instead of “can”.

  They literally defend a pedo prophet. I don’t know how exactly they justify that, but I don’t really care. I will actively hate them for this one detail and feel pretty fucking justified.

  When you actively go out of your way to be terrible, you intentionally choose to be considered low class until you wake up and choose a decent path.

  Just be decent. That’s not a high bar to clear. Muslims and Christians fail this test. Probably a lot of others, but staying on topic of the post context here.

  6 every time.

  Also fuck 7, those butcher broke so easily.

  I had one similar to (not literally exactly) 6 back in high school, and some really dumb jock took it from me and I’ve wanted it back ever since.

  The Bic one is okay, but pushing directly on the eraser to push the lead out isn’t ideal. I always thought that was a design flaw. Having the button on the side of the pencil but away from the index finger is ideal honestly.

  And even though we’re not deciding based on lead size for this, I prefer the finer.5 to the more common .7.

  Plus the top has a pretty large eraser that you can twist to expose more, so it had a mechanical refillable eraser too, which was pretty cool.

  And I got mine in my favorite color, and that fucked just took it.

  I was a super sheltered kid, coming fresh off being completely homeschooled (except for a Christian kindergarten), and that year of school was my first social contact with other people outside grocery stores and church. So I didn’t do much about it, as I didn’t have a clue about how anything in real life worked. I wouldn’t figure a lot of it out for still another 16 years, but that’s a different story.

  Also at this point I haven’t actually written anything at all with a pencil, pen, or marker for… 15ish years now? Outside of signing my name anyway.

  Damn TS3 was still kinda wet behind the ears and maybe even still in beta last time I played with it. I only used it for one group and I cut ties with them.

  I never even used it, I only know TS2 and it’s purplish, super basic ugly interface. (If anyone even remembers that- would’ve been back in mid to late 00s)

  Also very true. But I’m not convinced it was the right choice, just because the brand is confident in it. UHC likely did research to choose a CEO, and look how that turned out.

  This is about the US, the undisputed capital of the fast food world. That is definitely not the case.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This speaks for itself⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Isn’t the business model based on getting people to love it when they’re kids and become addicted then, before they’re able to critically think about food, and then coasting on the people that have fond memories of it?

  The adults going there now were kids in the 80s and 90s, and remember the old style. No kid gives a rip about a place that looks like this, with no characters or colors. Even today when I see red and yellow together it makes me think of them, but now it’s all gray, brick, and beige, with a dollop of yellow just for the logo.

  Personally I like this boring look fine. But damn if it’s not gonna take a huge hit from being loved by generations that have no memory of fast play places and mascots.

  Getting rid of the play area is probably good though because I mean really they are gross if you just think for a few seconds. But capitalism does dictate wringing every drop of injury money from anyone whenever possible.

  Now while I support draining the bucks from corporations, ruining opportunities for kids to have fun memories too. If only having fun wasn’t so injury-prone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I love the future.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Imagine believing that taking ANOTHER medicine that is definitely totally unproven (but the commercial has a guy in a lab coat reading a script, so you know they absolutely “did their homework”- even if this didn’t phase them before- but it’s ok when they already believe it), just so you can make sure you’re more vulnerable to a disease.

  These people have noticed no ill effects, yet they’d rather pretend to get rid of that and take on a new risk.

  And when the pill is later proven to not do anything (if it hasn’t already, hell if I know just from seeing this), they will claim the vaccine was pointless when they still don’t get COVID.

  I hope and wish this pill is super poisonous and they have a hellish vomit sickness that wrecks them for days. Some of them will claim they’re proof to suffer to get the vaccine out, but it will give others pause for sure.

  Exactly.

  The short answer is capitalism. Wasting money is a status symbol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sooo, where did the blatant Nazism suddenly come from?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You right. I shouldn’t have been commenting shit yesterday. I’m honestly not like that, I just let this news vortex get in my head and I boil over sometimes.

  They’re such an easy target to get righteous anger over. Part of be realized it even as I typed it, but I should’ve just deleted it like you would trash a handwritten note just to get it out of your system.

  Right Wing did deluded me for years (almost at 10 years since I started leaving that culture behind. Nazis kinda combine the hatred I have for them specifically and lately it’s combined with my triggers for how right wing garbage poisoned me for so long that it doesn’t just boil over, it goes from soup cooking temperature to a nuclear reactor when they’re in lockstep.

  And of course the blind rage reverts back to it’s familiar roots, and I fucking destroy what I’m trying to be with what I say.

  Good on you for calling it out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sooo, where did the blatant Nazism suddenly come from?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Someone that bought his place at the white house did it and didn’t get shot by a flamethrower, so all the Nazis hiding literally just below the surface feel ok to talk a little louder now.

  Honestly, with sufficient evidence it should be legal to kill them in public and receive any inheritance from their wills. I don’t typically enjoy personally hunting people down typically, but these aren’t people.

  One comment blatantly in favor of it Goodies any human rights in my opinion. It’s the only way. They may say it too (vermin, poisoning the blood, etc) but they’ve only ever been right about themselves.

  I would give a pedo human rights before them. And that’s saying something.

  They’re just rabid animals, and I defy anyone to give a reason they deserve a single second of life at all, for any reason, in any context. Maybe with the one exception of using them to find gatherings of others. But that’s it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hope you weren’t planning to play PhysX games on Nvidia’s new 50-series GPUs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Wow. I probably have it have played 4 or 5 on that entire list. And none of them in the past 5 or do years.

  It’s still a shitty thing to do for sure. Maybe there will be a new “thing” that starts getting used instead? Ray tracing has gotten way more coverage than PhysX ever did, and imo is like 3% as good or interesting.

  Physics actually have gameplay interactions that matter. Ray tracing looks nice, but is so absolutely expensive computationally that (imo) is not even CLOSE to being worth the effort if turning on, even with compatible hardware.

  Give us better physics, games! My main time sink rn is Rocket League, and that game is literally nothing but physics. Mostly simple physics, but stuff behaving in a logical way makes my brain a lot happier than better lighting ever did.

  I like when y’all grass became an actual object that could be moved around by players, or when tossing an item on the ground actually does it tossed down and colliding with other objects while texting to them appropriately (as in fire starting, or weight holding something down a certain amount). That stuff is potentially game creating, definitely feature drinking.

  Has anything AT ALL been affected by “pretty lights” beyond making them pretty? If it has, I’ve never heard of it.

  Keep games about a gameplay experience, not just a visual feast. Save that tech for movies or playable stories (ie Telltale type). Focus only on the gameplay experience otherwise. Toss in some ray tracing when you can, but NEVER at the expense of physics. It just doesn’t make any sense.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Good first step, but I’m scared by the word “unbiased”.

  For a conservative, there’s no way that means “unbiased”, it’s gonna man “un-leftist”, because clearly there are only “wokes” and “normals”, and he’ll expect you to see a “normal”.

  Maybe he’s ahead of the curve, but that word strikes great in me.

  At the very least he does seem to actually understand it without resorting to insulting terms or snide comments, so I have hope for him.

  I really hope this works out for you, OP.

  This seems like it’s indicating trump, not a follower to me. Not a pristine drawing, but it would be bizarre to have one resemble him that much but not indicate him.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sleepy Bees⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not in my experience.

  There have been so many yellow jackets and wasps that used to live in front of this house, and they tended to dive bomb anyone headed between the driveway and front door.

  That and I got caught up in a swarm when a friend of mine stepped on a yellow jacket best when we were all about 7 or 8. I just happened to be nearby and got stung 16 times. My younger brother got hit at least 18 (they list count at that point) and he needed an epi for even though without a known allergy to bee stings. Maybe after almost 20 songs you get symptoms anyway.

  Either way, I’ve never forgiven bees since that day and I never will. I’m not out hunting them down or anything, but if I encounter them, and it’s somewhere I have regular need to go, they’re getting evicted without warning with prejudice. And I will laugh while they’re dying.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sleepy Bees⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Didn’t care. If they got stingers and live too close to me, they are getting squished out poisoned without mercy.
