Sneak is basically useless with the code patch though. Even with max sneak, iirc the max chances of pickpocketing even like a spoon is ~30%.

There’s an interpretation that she did it in purpose to get away from her controlling mother. Kinda like that version.

The only part of the religion that matters is the part that lets them treat women as sex slaves anyways.
- Comment on JFC, who did this?! 1 week ago:
The Handmaid’s Tale (it’s kinda funny how both you and a commenter replying to you misspell the name in two different ways) is going for a “The Lady or the Tiger” ending. Do you believe that Nick is actually part of the Resistance, or is he part of the state secret police? The narrative tricked us a little with the “relationship” between Offred and the Commander - can we trust anyone at all?
The epilogue also gives the narrative some verisimilitude. It’s pretending to be a historical document - how would the world post-Gilead react to accounts of what happened to women during Gilead? How would you interact with the “Diary of Anne Frank” if you didn’t know that she was killed in the camps?
I fail to see how it’s similar to “The Mist” here.
- Comment on Americans Are Using PTO to Sleep, Not for Vacation—Report 1 week ago:
I worked for a movie theater for a while, and once I got off at around 3 am and had to be in the next day at 8 am.
I routinely clocked more than 40 hours a week, once making it to 100 - but they didn’t have to pay OT because it’s the “performance industry.” Despite me being a hourly projectionist.

It teaches them the thought stopping cliches and mantras that they can use to “own” libs in drive by Facebook comments.
I think about the classic creationist “if we came from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?” It’s not intended to be an actual question - you can try to explain that no, we didn’t “come from monkeys,” that we shared a common ancestor, etc… but they don’t care. It’s just supposed to be a quick catch phrase that lets you not think about the question anymore.
That’s the whole point of all of these right wing “debaters.”
- Comment on Oh Jesus he is cooked 3 weeks ago:
“Dr Laura” (receiver of that original letter) is a fucking shit stain of a human being. One of those right wing women that absolutely hates other women.
She’d tell women and girls calling in that they needed to quit their jobs and dedicate themselves full time to their children, when she herself was happy to ignore raising her children to play pundit. A Phyllis Schafly style gender traitor, someone happy to have a full time job and make lots of money telling women that they weren’t capable or deserving of full human dignity.

There’s variation between people on how much they menstruate. Some people have very light flows, some people have very heavy flows. It also changes a bit over the course of the period - you might start out with a lighter flow, have a heavier flow in the middle, and then end with a lighter flow. You generally want to go with the lightest one you can for comfort reasons.

- Comment on Bethesda's re-releases and remasters are getting outta control. 1 month ago:
I have zero interest in them remastering the older games. I 100% do not want an unreal engine Morrowind remaster. I want Morrowind to be a buggy exploitable mess where I can buff my intelligence and speed into 5 digit numbers.

The Onion started publishing in 1988, and was online by 1996.
Landover Baptist has been on the net since 1998. I stumbled on it as kid, back when the family computer was for playing Neopets.
There’s been an increase in satire websites for sure, largely driven by the popularity of the Onion, and it does cause problems. There are conservative outlets which 100% put out complete and utter bullshit under the guise of “satire,” knowing that their audience has the gullibility of a five year old, and that’ll end up on garbage Facebook pages as unironic.
It’s not “conspiracy” but more - the Onion is very popular, popular things get knock offs, and opportunists saw a way to inject lies into the public discourse, while claiming they’re “satire.” (Similar to how CinemaSins on YouTube uses the term, “we were wrong about a basic thing in the movie? psych! the jokes on you for taking it seriously!)
I really miss that brief time that the Babylon Bee was good.
- Comment on Anyone remember this famous press conference and how it ended? 1 month ago:
Warmlines are usually a better alternative.
They’re not as well funded as 988, sometimes it’s hard to get someone on the other line. Which sucks. But when it comes to suicidality, the system is very deeply fucked. If you say the wrong thing, you can end up in a mandatory hold and sent out in much worse shape than you were.
This is a problem that needs to be recognized by mental health care professionals and policy makers, but is not, because it’s assumed that if you experience a mental health crisis you can not be trusted to understand what is happening. There’s an assumption that being suicidal = being insane, thus meaning that you are a voice that does not need to be listened to.
- Comment on Anyone remember this famous press conference and how it ended? 1 month ago:
Depending on where you live, all 988 does is forward your information to the police. When I’ve called it, basically a bunch of questions to try to get you to trip that line, then nothing but “I’m sorry to hear that :(“
There’s no requirement that the volunteer have clinical experience. I’ve heard horror stories of people being hung up or mocked. The company that runs it (and subcontracts it to several companies that they hide, it can be very difficult to figure out who is actually taking your call) is opaque and does not listen to complaints.
988 is mostly a fancy ad campaign.
- Comment on President Trump shows President Zelenskyy and President Macron his 4 More Years hats 1 month ago:
They want to arrest Obama and try him for treason. There’d be some bullshit reason he wouldn’t be allowed, probably wouldn’t be on the ballot at all in red states.

I checked out Naked Lunch from my high schools library when I was a junior. Read the entire thing. Not big on controlling what kids read, but someone probably should have said something…

My favorite version is from a book with a talking gorilla. Although if you prefer talking asses, you can find it in another book too.

Even God didn’t want people to cancel him, anyone who sent him to the Afterlife would get avenged sevenfold. Weird that he was concerned when he had just killed the only other living person on earth other than his parents. It must have been a Nightmare knowing that he wouldn’t get A Little Piece of Heaven. Perhaps if he hadn’t made that Unholy Confession, God wouldn’t have noticed and he wouldn’t have ended up in Bat Country.
- Comment on Has cancel culture gone too far? 1 month ago:
It’s “do not interact.” It’s really common on tumblr. Sometimes it’s reasonable “this is a porn blog, DNI if you are a minor” but sometimes it’s a comedically long list of political positions that they want you to agree with.
