  I think if someone implied they were bringing someone without at least asking, as this person did, I would match their rude energy and say “I did not agree to that, so here are my boundaries.”

  The way the other party phrased it would annoy the shit out of me. 'I’m bringing my best friend." Ok, so why don’t you date them? Causes way more friction than asking “Hey, I know it’s unconventional but I would like a friend to be there just for my safety since we don’t know eachother yet.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Firefly, the shinest damn show in the 'Verse⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah came to say the same. His shows are forever tainted and I say that as a fan of Buffy, Firefly even Dollhouse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's been downhill since 2020⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The vaccine was really just a sedative; they kidnapped you and plugged in you to the matricksssssssss

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨asked and answered⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  bro same. From the moment I was aware of the problems with America they have gotten progressively worse, though the past year has seen an acceleration of madness and chaos I never thought possible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hollow Knight: Silksong is out now on Steam - and it broke Steam servers for 15 minutes and counting now⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Can someone explain the fervor over this game? I played the first one and bounced completely off of it. It was slick for sure, but obtuse and kinda janky.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I may swear like a pirate, but I'm a fucking PRINCIPLED pirate⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My daughter said “oh shit” as her first curse word. Seems appropriate for the times

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨monthly challenge⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Does frozen pizza count as takeout?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone else guilty of this?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Cant force the shit, same with any culturally significant thing from your childhood. Think of it in reverse: if you aren’t willing to engage with their zeitgeist in good faith, how could you expect them to engage with yours?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fucking Censorship. That's fucking why Physical Money is fucking best⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  No, its patronage. I am not buying anything, just supporting an artist. Then I “acquire” a piece coincidentally from the same artist, because a minority of people can apparently bully payment processors in to not accepting money for goods.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An excellent source of protein: Health, hype and hard truths⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Protein helps you eat less calories by being more satiating than carbs or fat. You feel full faster and longer, plus you burn some calories digesting it. And unless youre a body builder thats pretty much it. Its not that complicated.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dirt Man⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The ones who walk away from Omelas is one of my favorite stories. Powerful metaphor, that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fucking Censorship. That's fucking why Physical Money is fucking best⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Or you could pirate the game and just donate the money to the creator.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Creative writing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  yeah… school for me at least was a race to the bottom. Test scores and homework quotas superseded teaching creativity or critical thinking.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK Government responded to the "Repeal the Online Safety Act" Petition.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  robust but proportionate are just weasel words. Who is determining the line of “robustness” or “proportionate” and can they be trusted?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Coldplay actually sounds⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Wow Laura Dern sure was something

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam is cracking down on porn games, to keep Payment Processors happy.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s funny, Patreon cracked down years ago on Incest content forcing indie porn devs to do *nudge *nudge *wink she’s your “Landlady” stuff. I guess paypal just assumed Steam was cleaner until now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thanks I hate it⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d eat it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It’s the little things⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  if we lived in a high pressure environment, this totally would happen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨naruto therapy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Shounen, just like any good young adult fiction, is a morality play. Good life lessons about friendship and overcoming adversity…but it is not a substitute for personal growth. You gotta take those lessons and synthesize them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Beef and pork is no problem…but cheese and coffee aint goin quietly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨fuck the rules!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My wife and I smuggle candy and booze in to the theaters all the time. Theaters are so understaffed and mostly by teenagers and they dont give a fuck what we’re doing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The signatures are still coming and it's already making an impact⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol publishers curtail developer choice, gtfo

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In 6 hours it will be illegal to say "I support Palestine Action" in the UK, with a sentence of up to 14 years in prison.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  change the name of your org, make them play wack-a-mole.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yep, I actually own 7,255 games on Steam. I’ve played 23% of my library. I regret nothing.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Damn, I thought I had a lot. Just checked and its only 500, with about 60 sitting in the “backlog”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yep, I actually own 7,255 games on Steam. I’ve played 23% of my library. I regret nothing.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Bro that Robocop game is petty good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ted Cruz's plan to punish states that regulate AI shot down in 99-1 vote⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  lol he even voted against his own plan. Imagine being the schmuck who was the one dissenting vote

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you have cut off mainstream music streaming, how do you discover new music or artists and songs like what you're listening frequently?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Rate Your Music is a great resource for discovery, if a bit snobby.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A cuppa Jill⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I call sparkling water “Sparkle Boys” does that count?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Completely Natural Conversation in the NYC Reddit⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This reminds me of a time when i used to subscribe to Hydro Homies and there was always someone in the comments tryna hawk a Berkey water filter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube might slow down your videos if you block ads⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  meh, its still not inconvenient enough to pay 10+ dollars a month. The state of adverts online is so egregious that I would probably sooner stop watching Youtube than pay or put up with ads.
