is your taste and smell different in any other way? or is it just black liquorice that transformed from disgusting to beloved?
has the flavour of liquorice changed for you? or is the flavour the same but you now enjoy it?
how many tires have you eaten and what does it mean that something tastes like a tire in a good way???

haven’t you heard? strawerries lost their berry status, and now they’re trying to lay low and avoid the identity theft lawsuits
- Comment on Does the 2 hour refund limit on Steam affect game design? 4 days ago:
imo the 2h refund window is not so you can judge if you’ll like the game, it’s so you can judge if you can tolerate it long enough to form an informed opinion
there’s been a few games i played under 2h of and thought to myself “this is terrible, i’m not having fun and i actively dislike playing this”, Steam’s no questions asked refund was a cure for regret i’d have felt if i had to see that game in my library forever. Games that i know take much longer to judge i borrow from a friend who’s into fitness and a girl, that’s what saved me from buying Starfield or Avowed

💀 if you think me pointing out that you insulted someone over reading comprehension that you failed at is bullying then dang, you might want to sit down and have a hard think about what happened here and the idea of irony in general
- Comment on I hope she found herself 1 week ago:
miiiight want to re-read the comment you replied to. they didn’t ask you why you did it, but what you did after. which though you answered, the “reading comprehension” comment is rather uh ironic there
- Comment on Baldur’s Gate 3’s biggest mod team now has hundreds of devs working on its huge custom campaign in an impressively professional production 1 week ago:
bethesda taught us a very important lesson a while ago - if your game isn’t good, then the modders won’t bother. Skyrim despite its flaws is a good game, and has mods to show it, Starfield despite its budget is pretty bad, and after the initial hype most ambitious mod projects were cancelled.
because of that i don’t think there’s any neferious plot behind the game makers celebrating their modding community, and the modding community certainly isn’t getting forced to work without pay - they’re passionate about the game and want to make something of their own within it, and honestly that builds a good portfolio for future use too

tbf, next time the guy tries to make fun of someone for being a virgin he’ll think twice about it because of that interaction, and who knows maybe that will spare a person who actually went though something like that from having to feel awful
in this situation, despite being in poor taste, the lie could’ve actually done some good in the long run

yeah alright that’s probably too late lmao
- Comment on Adobe Creative Curse 1 week ago:
r/piracy has a megathread with an easy tutorial on how to make that work, it’s honestly so easy it made me feel dumb for ever paying for adobe. you just have to run like one app, and then make your firewall block all outgoing connections for each of the .exes, the only app that doesn’t work despite that is lightroom BUT lightroom classic is fully functional and the same if not better, so no loss there
- Comment on Adobe Creative Curse 1 week ago:
i’m pretty sure it’s not, since if you get through their bullshit AI assistant and talk to a human they can just undo it without a fuss if it hasn’t been too long since you’ve been charged
i’m guessing they’re counting on people just giving up whilst defending themselves with “Your Honour people can technically do that, see they just need to contact support :)”
- Comment on Adobe Creative Curse 1 week ago:
nonono, go back there is a way. you have to battle through their FAQ, and then their AI assistant, when you finally arrive at the point of talking to a human being then they might be able to just undo that for you, i don’t know if there’s a deadline for giving back money after you’ve been charged, but if it was a day or two ago i’m sure it’s not too late
it worked for me with adobe and netflix, they barely even asked why aside from what is required of them “why r u leaving i need it for a survey” type of thing. it’s a sleazy move to hide that you can get your money back, they try to squeeze just a little bit more out of you, but you if embrace your inner Karen there’s a chance!

so the “can lsd kill” contunies to be a hypothetical question
i’m so mad it’s illegal in most of the world. i’m starting to think everyone in governments of the world is either a coward who can’t face their own demons, or just copies US’s homework from back when the illusion of it being a competent nation was still there - Comment on Knock knock knocking on heaven's do-or-or-aawwhhh 1 week ago:
i mean yeah, would certainly not be an easy or short trip for sure
- Comment on Knock knock knocking on heaven's do-or-or-aawwhhh 1 week ago:
could that much cause a seratonin syndrome? you’d need an ungodly amount of lsd to attempt to overdose, and drinking straight from a bottle seems pretty efficient

real talk, how do you report someone in a different country to authorities? Especially with such a borderline specific reason like lying about where you live to get more clients, he’s still doing the work after all
- Comment on Embrace this Truth and enjoy life 2 weeks ago:
evolution is blind because all of it is an accident. life forms that survive long enough to make more life forms get their genes to live on. any life form that doesn’t, well, doesn’t. better survivability because of an error in copying genes? more offspring. worse survivability? less offspring
there is no intention to evolution, it’s simply a consequence of the fact that some primitive life forms at some point felt a desire to copy their genes and the process of doing so is imperfect. That desire, probably a product of random copying itself, is what made all living things today

oh that’s what you meant!
maybe typing it like “it will happen regardless, if you have the genetics” would avoid the confusion, because i thought the comman you get people (me) reading it wrong

have you never met an old man with hair?
- Comment on He is very determined and must be thwarted at all costs 3 weeks ago:
curly hair is its own entity at the top of my head. it craves moisture and oils, the only thing that can temporarily force it to behave is hair modelling clay. if i dare to blow hot air at it (yes even with the weird blower attachment) it is going to revolt against me and not curl. there’s a whole ritual i have to perform each wash, and if i don’t it threatens to make me look like i just woke up from a 12h sleep after 48h of partying

try out circles! there’re neat tools that help with drafting pixel art circles. a bit of a pain to build (you’ll definitely need the ruler) but it’s fun to see some spheres and domes in your world :)
- Comment on FOREX is not for the faint hearted 3 weeks ago:
it does yes, but currency exchange places near airports/train stations are notorious for pretty much stealing from you. Seriously, never buy a different currency near any place considered vaguely international, it can get as bad as getting half of what you’d get in a reasonable place, nowhere near as bad as withdrawing from an ATM in a foreign country
- Comment on Please dont feed the creatures 🪱 3 weeks ago:
i’m happy to see more people having a proper think about this, and getting rid of the learnt reaction to just say “kill all pedos”. Years ago i came to the same conclusion - that ostricising and shaming people who struggle with pedophilic desires is simply not a good idea, it pushes those individuals into isolation, and could result in them bottling up their urges so desperately that one day they become too strong.
there’s nuance in everything, and compassion is important. i’d rather have a friend who felt safe telling me about his pedophilic desires, so i could support them in therapy. than a friend too afraid to tell anyone, and fighting the unwanted desires alone
