So long enough for everybody to forget about it and then for GM to precede as usual.

Sally Dibbs: There’s four left in the back.

Structure, security, fraternity, simplicity. There’s definitely some appeal there, but maybe there are easier ways to find those things.

If only they were worried about the log in their own eye and not the mote in their neighbor’s.

Dang, there’s a lot I haven’t watched…
- Comment on The Joy is Gone: A Liberal Hate-Fest for the Holidays 3 weeks ago:
It seems the joy, bipartisanship, and civility have all expired like last year’s eggnog.
Remind me: was the January 6th insurrection bipartisan and civil? This another wants the same “rules for thee but not for me” as every other conservative asshole.

Definitely wish it had more advancement in plot but it’s still enjoyable. Plus my partner does a burlesque act as Yor.

- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing? 4 weeks ago:
P5 ditches the procedurally generated dungeons, so each main dungeon feels different. There’s still a procedurally generated one to do side quests in, though.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing? 4 weeks ago:
Are you sure they’re the last few hours? There’s like half a dozen final dungeons.

- Comment on Spy x Family manga is going on a one-month-long hiatus The Forger family won't return for a month .Chapter 108 will now release on December 23, 2024 1 month ago:
Hopefully it’ll get back on track. I’ve not been interested in the side stories as much. Maybe the makers were feeling like the main story and characters were getting stale.
- Comment on Coca-Cola accused of quietly dropping its 25% reusable packaging target 1 month ago:
It’s a tactic used by corporations to avoid regulation. “We swear we’ll do this stuff without big government needing to get involved” and then drop it later once people have forgotten about it. Just regulate corporations and don’t believe a word they say.
- Comment on Nanopasta: electrospinning nanofibers of white flour 1 month ago:
I can eat so much more angel hair than spaghetti that I suspect I could eat infinite amounts of nano pasta. Finally, some good news for the year.
- Comment on Elon Musk says too many game studios are owned by giant corporations so his giant corporation is going to start a studio to 'make games great again' 1 month ago:
Good thing he’s not a giant corporation.
Does he think Wolfenstein needs to be told from the other side?
- Comment on DOJ to ask judge to force Google to sell off Chrome 1 month ago:
Just like how nutrition labels solved obesity? And carbon footprints solved climate change? Individual choice and responsibility aren’t good solutions to systemic problems. They’re usually championed by businesses to avoid responsibility.
- Comment on Valve must address swastikas and other hate on Steam, writes US senator in a letter to Gabe Newell 1 month ago:
It’s a real problem. I’ve seen forum posts calling for the extermination of minorities.
- Comment on Anon questions our energy sector 1 month ago:
doses normally consumed
So we can just put an much caffeine into a person as we want because it’s ok in normal dosages? That’s wrong. Your analogy sucks. You can’t discount danger because of normal conditions. Tsunamis weren’t normal for Fukushima. Do you understand?
Do we get to ignore things that get labeled irresponsible? Plus, if there’s been a hundred incidents, that pretty much says we aren’t and cannot be responsible enough to prevent them.
Your points aren’t worth arguing further. I will not be engaging anymore. Feel free to continue to think that your analogies are clever; I will not.
- Comment on Valve must address swastikas and other hate on Steam, writes US senator in a letter to Gabe Newell 2 months ago:
You’re apparently unfamiliar with the concept of the open letter or writing to a specific person instead of just spewing garbage out a general agency. It’s not uncommon.
The Hinduism excuse really doesn’t fly most of the time, especially when we’re talking about hate speech. It’s pedantic and weaselly and does not pass the smell test.
Unsafe could mean, for an examples I have seen on steam forums, that minorities get harassed or told they should be exterminated. Just like Nazis should be scared to be in public IRL, they shouldn’t have safe spaces online either.
I know by your language you already have your mind made up and probably have a real strong opinion on ethics in gaming journalism, but extremism is a real problem.
I don’t really want to engage with people like you, so I won’t be responding further, but I didn’t really want to leave your bs unchallenged.

Caffeine is dangerous and can kill humans in large doses AND meth exists. It’s not one or the other, genius. Please mainline some caffeine to prove your point. Meth exists, you’ll be fine.

Who’s pretending they’re safe? The only pretending I see in the meme is about nuclear. But if you want to argue with something I didn’t say, have at it I guess.

The alternative is not necessarily oil.
- Comment on Anon questions our energy sector 2 months ago:
That’s not my point and I’m already aware.

One time? Wikipedia says over 100 serious incidents and lists about 30 of them. en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nuclear_and_…
It’s fine if you like nuclear, just don’t try and claim it was one time. It poses serious risk and should be treated as such.

Is this because the FTC does fuck all to curb them so people know it’s useless?
