They have been performing horribly lately, and so pretty much all of their product lines have had shit like this happen. Nerf, Wizards of the Coast, even their Marvel line has reslly dropped wuality to the barest minimum. It’s stunning, reallt.

Sigh… No, I actually meant to write 99th percentile. Which is also wrong, and is entirely symptomatic of me being ‘an idiot’.

I know many many artists, and none of them would resist an offer to do what they’re passionate about in exchange for lots of money.

My partner was in the top 99% of performers on onlyfans for several years (according to onlyfans’ metrics, which actually are surprisingly accurate since it involves reporting financial information). At the peak she was making about $100/month. The number of people who actually make any substantial amount of money on that platform is shockingly low.

The only reason we americans need to know this stuff is to make sure we never accidentally end up going there.

alabama’s rep so bad there are more people that know they fuck their cousins there than there are people who know where alabama even is.

Well that’s a take.

Fallout 3 is honestly a pretty shit game. Play Fallout New Vegas, it’s built on Fallout 3’s engine but instead of being designed and written by indentured interns at Bethesda it was made by people who are, you know, game designers. (I would kill for a NV-esque sequel to F04)

Is it really that excellent? Big “how do you do fellow kids” energy with this one. These animals all look like they could be the star of a gritty animated film noir feature about anthropomorphic animals in 1940s brooklyn. “The primal inside me”, get that triple entendre going for it.

Fuck, I’d sure like to be living in the fantasy world where America is that generous. You might get that much with a severe disability in a super high COL area, but it’d be hard fought and the invasion of your privacy is going to be absurd to make sure you’re not ‘abusing’ it.

Really, the famines were due to the great leap forward killing off everyone who knew how to prevent a famine. Though iirc it’s argued that in a few regions the famines were intentional genocide.

Yes, hence why I had to correct.myswlf
- Comment on Will Firefox die for good if Google is forced to sell off Chrome? 1 month ago:
Sorry, you’re correct - I should have said they do not make a loss on the sales, (turn a profit is obviously a bit of a stretch) since they use their existing infrastructure to offset the operational expenses.
- Comment on Will Firefox die for good if Google is forced to sell off Chrome? 1 month ago:
It’s a side point, but the costco hotdogs do absolutely turn a profit. $1.50 seems unreasonably low because of how much we’re used to paying for food these days, but its hotdogs and a fountain drink, the cost of ingredients is next to nothing.

- Comment on Am I allergic to my dog, and if so, what solutions do I have? 2 months ago:
I would absolutely advise talking to a doctor about this. That very much sounds like an allergy, and although there are many meds that may help, none of us online can safely advise them for you, you really do need a prescriber with access to your medical records/bloodwork for that.
As far as first steps go, regularly taking OTC allergy meds and developing a daily cleaning schedule + filters for the bedroom + keeping your fog off the bed at fhe very least, and out of the bedroom entirely ideally, will help. Also frequently bathing your dog.
- Comment on Nostalgia and remake culture 2 months ago:
You’ve a winning argument, to be sure! Not sure where I quantified how much I think hollywood influences culture but okay.
FWIW, obviously popular media both is influential and responds to culture. “Hollywood” really shouldn’t be treated as a singular entity if we’re trying for a semblance of legitimacy. This is really quickly going to fall into a discussion of the role of the audience and how that’s changed in the digital era (vs. when Aristotle first brought it up…), and neither of us care enough to suffer through thay. Suffice to say it’s not cut and dry, and beyond that I dont know any better than you do what specific impact they have (and neither do they).
- Comment on Nostalgia and remake culture 2 months ago:
This is a real Im14AndThisIsDeep meme. More people have access to platforms for their creative work than at any other point in human history, if you aren’t seeing it then you’re not really trying to find it. It’s not hollywood, but hollywood doesn’t define culture (as much as they’d like to think they do…)

Poor word choice on my part, will freely admit that. The veg population of inda in is roughly larger than the entire US population, which is the much more useful statistic.

I cherish you.
But probably from a distance. Chickeboos aren’t the best for, you know, close-up cherishing.
You know why.
