Nooooo, you don’t get it. The poor artists are smug meanies so we are allowed to steal from them. If the poor artist just accepted the massive low ball offer than everyone would be happy and we’d have world peace probably.

As someone who pretends to be a cider, same, except always in the context of “huh, red squilly underline here, time to find where I missed the fucking semicolon”

This article came out just before the ZenFone 9, which I feel (quickly skimming the list) met all of their “ideal” criteria except the design focused ones. I rocked it for a good while, was a good phone and it is super nice having a small phone for every day carry, but after years of foldables it was just a bit too much for me and I ended up going back to the z fold series.

the problem is, from reading discussions around the time, that people either don’t want small phones, or they don’t feel premium enough (human bias is a helluva drug). I love the idea of a small weekend phone and hope something comes market that has all of the things this person wants (with a spec bump for 2025) cause I’d be super interested to give it a crack

Who’s cheating in Skate? That is such a wild thought that people would cheat in the “zone out and skate around in circles” game

Ok but why Charizard when primeape is right there, he’s practically angron with extra fur…

I love the “mid leap sleep”. On their side, back legs stretched out long, front legs curled, tail curled around to got that golden ratio, perfection.

Draiman is a self-described “very strong supporter of Israel” and last June, he posted images of himself online signing an IDF bomb and appeared to write “Fuck Hamas” on it.

Jesus Christ. It’s so exhausting to continually hear of absolute depravity from people who I used to think were so cool (albeit for this loser, it was when I was like 14).

I mean, its a news article posted to a news forum. And if we look at the comments the parent comments for the top 7 threads are:

-unrelated anecdote -praose for the idea behind the festival -something removed (probably some random racist shit). Notably the child comments seem to call out the original sentiment. -a request for more info -tangential conversation about what defines a “major incident”

• the classic “OMG wtf”
• a comment likening this to another “needle panic”

I don’t know if your issue is with the content or the reactions but I don’t see how either points to the issues with social media. It’s a bit sensationalist and some of the comments arent exactly thought provokers, but there’s nothing (that I can see) that screams “social media bad”

Even to your point about boots, there are some people who are vegan (by their definition) and wear leather boots. Arguments can be made that leather will (in specific circumstances) result in less animal harm in the long run, and while I don’t personally justify leather this way, I can understand how some have these perspectives.

The real issue is labels. As soon as you apply one, you are subject to everyone else’s understanding of that thing. In my experience, if you don’t meet their understanding of said thing you’re dismissed as not being a “true x”, or it’s “if you truly are X then why do you do y?”

This is why I never refer to myself as vegan/vegetarian and just “I don’t eat meat” (or a more specific statement as needed).

I never say I’m a leftist/socialist I just gestures vaguely at American politics believe that’s kinda fucked and shouldn’t be done that way.

I even dislike saying I’m an urbanist because, even though I despise car-centric design, I’ve been called out for the sin of hiring a car when I visited my hometown last (generally I cycle everywhere or use PT, but I had an ankle injury so woe is me I guess)

At some level we’re all hypocrites, ones intentions are far more important, and shouldn’t be dismissed as easily as they are. What’s more important is to align your actions with your beliefs, be open about what you believe in, be open-minded when someone’s beliefs don’t align with your own, be ready to adjust your beliefs based on new information and experiences but most of all:

Be kind.

No! If we wait two more weeks then Iran will have nuclear weapons!

TBf they’ve cnanged a bunch since then, even still all they’ve really done is limited the PvP aspects.

If you love the PvE aspect of the game, then you aren’t missing anything in safe seas

Cries in non-eu, non-degoogled android

Yeah, sarcasm mate

Cool narrative you got there mate, problem is while the term “alum” was used for (far more than) 5 centuries, the words “aluminium” and “aluminium” were both coined around the same time, roughly 1810ish. Also, Sir. Davy, who coined the phrase that you hold dear, was British.

Tldr: every part of that statement is wrong

top 1.9% of only fans

This is a complete aside, but does anyone feel like putting “top 2%” sounds better than “1.9”?

Like when I hear top 2 percent I think wow this person is somewhere between 1.5 and 2% but 1.9 makes me think 1.90 to 1.99.

Maybe it’s just me.

I hate articles which are just “we watched this youtube video and here are our notes”

Here’s the link to the original creators video, it’s well worth a watch:

Because just having two characters with the exact same lines is boring, Gerry has had 3 games now, I want to explore someone else as a character, with new motivations, character flaws etc

The “poster boys” are the Ultramarines, who rock the blue and gold, but there are a tonne of different chapters with individual colour schemes.

In saying that I don’t there are really any super popular ones rocking green at the time (probably were, but I don’t recall any)

I’m going to regret asking probably, but what are his abhorrent business and political views?

I don’t watch enough of his content to have picked this up, but from what I have seen, I have agreed with the majority of it (though it’s mainly been “fuck corporations screwing end users” and “Fuck LTT”)

And play time too, I played a game for about 10 hours on the week I bought it but steam reported 600hrs.

Fortunately (or unfortunately) it corrected itself after playing on PC for a few mins, still if it hadn’t, silly crab dark souls would have been my 3rd most played steam game ever
