Fuck this to hell. I want tobacco to go extinct, not be more accessible.
If there was a button that just made every tobacco plant (and the backups in that one seed vault place) die, I would keep pushing it for days just to make sure it was all gone. Including existing smoking products.
Not sorry not sorry. Addicts all going cold turkey that day.

Your sex is not an identity (inherently, at least- people can make it part of their identity).
There’s different contexts for the word (chromosomal, phenotypical, etc), but generally speaking the average of all of them is what you are described as in a biological sense, gender aside.
I’m still running into new identities, expressions, and interpretations, but so far everything I’m aware of holds at least that much in common.
Am I missing something? Genuine question.
- Comment on I go now to Sovngarde 1 week ago:
My ancestors would probably hate me. I come from god loving racists, and I’m probably close to the polar opposite of that.
I haven’t been exposed to a lot of leftist differentiating issues, so I don’t have much vocabulary or talking points to refer to.
But I know I hate this country’s government and capitalism, and the entire crude oil industry, so that’s gotta be at least 90% of the way to the complete opposite side.

Nah. But that generation looks similar enough and that design with the hole was pretty common. But seemed like every manufacturer made their own versions or had a specific no name company make the ones they shipped with their machines.

I guess it’s rarity? I dunno.
But pits actually being important has gotta be at least a little higher.
I don’t really know the intended scale though, so who knows.
- Comment on Beast Mode 1 week ago:
After being on YouTube since it came out, I saw a Mr Beast video in my feed the first time like last week.
And I think it was because other tangential channels were covering something, not even subscribed channels that I was familiar with.

So I’m a little lost. Are those supposed to be empty wrappers or containers of something?
Anything specific, or just vague plastic aluminum-y things? I’m just so confused here. I get the sensory part, but based on the reactions here is gotta be something more specific.
- Comment on Saying that hardware price increase is good cause it forces the devs to optimize is not as good as it seems. 1 week ago:
Yeah. I’m fine with gaming being a much smaller industry if we can keep people with toddler level IQs out of it. Much rather have quality over quantity.
I don’t even care if graphics get better, tbh. Games should be good, not necessarily fancy. Fancy doesn’t hurt, as long as making it fancy doesn’t cut into the quality of the project.
Keep the writing and gameplay top notch, develop new hardware to meet certain needs, and that’s it.
VR is an interesting frontier (haven’t experienced it personally), but for most games pushing the graphics is only done to stand out on the shelf.
But new paradigms aren’t necessary most of the time.
- Comment on Saying that hardware price increase is good cause it forces the devs to optimize is not as good as it seems. 1 week ago:
My stance has nothing to do with the current hardware market. I just wish gaming could evolve past the Weenie Hut Jr stage, at least for most people.
But it seems that they never learn enough to move up past preschool level in that sphere.
- Comment on Meta could make social media posting immortal — and we should all cancel our Facebook accounts right now 1 week ago:
If they’re posting links in Facebook to Google drive to download content, that’s just shady af.
Unless you’re getting like pirated content that way. That makes a little more sense, but that still seems like a bad idea.
I would honestly give up gaming entirely if that was the only way to get something.

Here I am just trying to hold onto my steam wallet balance to soften the blow of the upcoming steam controller when my friend texts me this video.
Like I knew it was coming, but after 2 pushbacks I just assumed I would have more time.

Then you must be even older than I am then. Back in 03-04 no one my age was worried much about any data other than just publicly posting your SSN and photos of your IDs.
Worrying about your tweets and statuses was not a thing amongst my peers. At the time at least.
No one knew then what it would grow into. I didn’t even think it would last through college, much less til now, over 20 years later.

First, I wasn’t saying it would be market conditions doing it. Honestly I’d love to see all the companies eat the shit they’ve already stepped in.
Preferably it would be people wising up and realizing that they are factually bad compared to PCs. Demand would (in this good timeline) drop to zero overnight and kill them off immediately.
Not sure why you’re so sure that cloud would be the next winner either. Until network speeds get above the speed of light, as long as real time games exist, cloud gaming will never be very popular. It’ll be at best the “gaming you have at home” meme.
The delay will always be too much for any serious game where real time input and reactions are core components.
So I don’t see cloud gaming ever getting huge.
And even in your version, if PCs do take a hit (they already are with the RAMpocalypse), it’s still a smaller hit than being defunct.
But overall the main point is no technology should ever be locked down to one company. If your hardware only plays games allowed by one company, then you’ve got yourself a piece of shit. Period.
- Comment on Saying that hardware price increase is good cause it forces the devs to optimize is not as good as it seems. 2 weeks ago:
Maybe it was unclear, but by “console” I was implying a locked down device stuck with only using software licensed (or whatever the applicable legal term is) to a specific company’s hardware.
And given that a steam deck (love mine btw) isn’t locked down in any way beyond having native access to a specific vendor’s store, doesn’t apply (neither does steam machine).
Any locked down technology at all is kinda suspect, tbh. Capitalism is fucking horrendous.

Unfortunately, same.
I’ve changed a lot in the years since I started, but I assume all of it is still out there.
I was raised by deep red parents, has the whole homeschool bullshit and everything.
Things were starting to fall apart like 20 years ago, but finally hit a huge breaking point just shy of 10 years ago.
A lot of shit I said back then is probably super bad and cringe. I think I’ve blocked a lot of it out just to preserve some sanity.
But yeah, it’s out there.

Or just stop playing a game that is providing content via Facebook. Wtf are you thinking?
Literally no game is worth that.
This is stupid af.
- Comment on Saying that hardware price increase is good cause it forces the devs to optimize is not as good as it seems. 2 weeks ago:
Honestly I hope the ENTIRE console industry completely dies off. Hopefully Nintendo bites it first, but they’re all fucking shitty as hell (for SO many reasons) and I hope they all go extinct by the time Trump does.
There, I said it, I’m not sorry, and I will die on this hill. I don’t even think there’s any reasonable counter point beyond it being a simple entry point with easy to plug in pre-configured boxes.
So fight me. Consoles suck, and they should go extinct.

- Comment on 'What a great way to kill your community': Discord users are furious about its new age verification checks — and are now hunting for alternatives 3 weeks ago:
I mean I’ve wanted to change anyway since the enshittification started. I think the first thing was a paid avatar/profile decoration store. Annoying enough, but if they’re decent cosmetics and not crazy prices I can understand. I still wish there was an internal, native seeing that would just remove all the visual teasing of paid options, but I can ignore it. (Mainly I hate trying to add an emoji to chat and just seeing pages of emoji from servers that I can’t use on the one I’m on- which is already super annoying, but they put the regular result ones behind all those so you have to either scroll past them or manually switch to the default emoji page- that’s just pure rage bait- default should be first, followed by the ones from that server that you can actually use)
But my main problem was when Nitro showed up.
Unfortunately, of the up and comers none are quite ready yet, and none have the full suite of functionality.
This change actually doesn’t affect me at all, I don’t really engage with any communities. I have one that I use just to mess with admin options and see what kinda choices there are and how it works, one server with a few friends (like 5 regulars counting myself) and one for some of my siblings that we only really use to play Jackbox remotely.
But I still resent the change and have wanted a good alternative ever since subscriptions started.

They’re kinda impossible to get started while Nazis are in power, sure.

- Comment on Important Announcement 4 weeks ago:
We need laws that make it illegal to actually be a Nazi (and to codify supporting Nazis as criteria of being one).
If you have a provable track record of doing things that are textbook Nazi, that should either be a capital crime, or loss of basic rights (aka, people can assault you at any time with no repercussions).
That is a very specific thing that is honestly weird there isn’t a law about. There isn’t a single good thing to say about any of them. They’re never beneficial to anyone in any way beyond furthering their cause, and there’s nothing positive to say about that cause.
We need to naturally select them out of our continued evolution.
