Yeah revolutionary concept

Yep, removing sexuality from humans would remove a lot of challenges.
(Also some positives. Don’t quote me on this)

I was on your side for a long time until I found awesome fitting and sounding ones.

Which is par for the course on current ‘AI’.

Yeah, sugar intake, I’m aware of that and fighting for a long time. But no, it’s officially no drug, hrhr. Fun stuff to look up, the sugar cartel.
Anyhow, my condition is okay but I’ve got too many neurological issues which basically make it impossible to read my own body, so that’s there, too.

Thanks, I found out that was the case whan I played mmorpg and assumed some bad English speakers were not native speaking, but they were. Interesting thing in fact.
Still, some things are lost with specific wording or also culturally - worst of all are the things that seem identical but are different (not the average false friends stuff).

Hm, maybe I should keep some dextrose on me then.
- Comment on We got more games and better games when there was less money being made in the industry. 1 week ago:
OK, let’s settle with mediocre instead.

Erm, late for me to learn but if so: shaking is a symptom from having to eat?
- Comment on It makes me shudder 1 week ago:
Apologies, I’m not natively English so that might pose language and cultural understanding issues (additionally) 😁
- Comment on We got more games and better games when there was less money being made in the industry. 1 week ago:
A lot, especially compared to the Atari games which caused the US vg crash. So the seal of quality and limit on amount of games allowed to be published actually meant something.
I get what you’re saying but this question is the wrong one.
- Comment on EA invents new microtransaction nightmare as it breaks paywall promise on Skate: rent a playable area for 24 hours or buy a premium pass, bucko 1 week ago:
I still just buy games and play them.
They’re just 99,99% not triple A games.
- Comment on "Game preservation only works if people care" As GOG doubles down on its commitment to saving old games, it's asking players "who give a s**t" to support its crusade 1 week ago:
Oh man. I’ve supported gog from the beginning, always purchased there.
Even if it was more expensive or late or downsides (especially to steam).
Still, they didn’t always hold up to the drm free standard they set.
The they come up with this, which to me sounds like ‘give us subscription money for what we already did the whole time’.
The Patrons initiative is particularly interesting
No it’s not! I care for the games. I want a drm free packaged version. You name the price, but keep all original features.
I don’t give a flying shit about any online badges or whatever. How could I know where the additional money goes? By my estimate I’ll pay the subscription and your ceo gets more money but the games wont see any of it…

I disagree (it necessarily being hyperbolic), by now it’s been proven we can have “real” physical pain (and thereby also damage). Maybe the number sounds exaggerated but we don’t know.

Well the Epstein files had something like ‘get rid of the poors’, right?
- Comment on It makes me shudder 1 week ago:
Infuriating since annoyances are equated with real suffering. I always try to explain that yes, there are things which NT can experience but they have a scale from 0 to 100 and ND scale can be wildly off like > 4000% which can cause a whole range of psychological as well as physical issues.

I really really REALLY don’t get people who leave one company turned bad to turn to another company trying the same thing.
They’ll be the good guys for sure!

Still human, of course 😁
- Comment on Sometimes, childhood memories feel like faint memories from a past life. 2 weeks ago:
OK I can add to this. From own experience in two cases, if you are open to suggestions.
So, in psychology as I understand it positive memories outweigh negatives ones since for the average person negative memories get sort of padded and fade.
I’ve always wondered why people tend to go soft with negative experiences and the longer it has been the more harmless it was. I’ve seen this first hand on family and friends and partly had to remind close family what someone else did and when reminded they snapped back to their original attitude, so to say. But they would’ve forgotten the emotional impact.
So why has it always been so different for me? I found out I am an Autist and this seems to be one of the core differences. This imo also relates to why we don’t really forgive if certain thresholds have been crossed. And of course, the world view is far more negative due to the retained memories including emotional remembrance.
The second case is too much for one post, so let’s leave it at that for now.

I think guilt tripping is part of it in the US. Here (Europe) we just apply for the stuff that were eligible for.
