You’re not missing too much. There’s sort of a set of customs most servers have as well that are counter intuitive to new users. What’s frustrating is that most mods are so used to them that they forget how unobvious they are.

On Discord I always get more DMs around certain times of year, I think it’s from college kids getting on there for the first time and not knowing the general etiquette. Or thinking you need to send a friend request to someone before talking to them. Interesting how some patterns return.

And where do you think the majority of the wealth is going to be concentrated? Or do you think everyone on Earth will magically become a billionaire?

It’s funny that people think the wealth from asteroid mining will trickle down.

They’re saying they interpret the post as a consensual act between three people instead of a joke about cheating.

“Splattered, splattered, splattered on the windshield of life!” I remember that song, but can’t find it. Also haven’t looked super hard recently. If I wasn’t busy I’d listen through the sound track, I’m guessing the title doesn’t match.

Isn’t this more or less what Truck Simulator is? I find the idea interesting, but I’d want some sort of goal. I could be really obtuse and say that Grand Theft Auto 5 is an open world driving game lol.
I like open world games. They get a bad rap because a lot of games that are sort of samey and sloppy use open world aspects, but I don’t think the open world aspect is the problem.

This one is big and I never noticed it until a few years ago. My wife and I never got cable when we moved into our own place. One time my mother in law was talking to my wife about some commercial and my wife just said she hadn’t seen it. My mother in law got really weirdly upset or something, like my wife was trying to be condescending or something. But she was talking about it the same way people might talk about a funny skit from a show. It wasn’t until being away from it for years that I realized how odd it is.

Which part do you think is incorrect though?

I feel he’s comparing streaming to white collar jobs, not blue collar jobs. I often refer to my white collar job as my first “real job” because it was the first job I got involving my degree. Prior to that my blue collar jobs where I worked as a “janitor” or in a deli were just part time work to get some spending money.
Ironically, or perhaps not depending on your perspective, having every statement you make over analyzed because your profession is just constantly making statements live can certainly be soul sucking. I think this post is evidence of that. You have to constantly make sure you don’t say things that can get clipped in a way that will make you look bad.
Judging by his other statements, I find it hard to believe he’s saying that hard manual labor is easy work that isn’t soul sucking.

Oh that’s interesting, I wonder if it’s easier to get heartburn in space? It’s common to need to sit upright to keep the acid down.

I could’ve sworn I read that some people did some research on the accent of folks from where he was from and the conclusion was that he did say “for a”. Exaggerating it, if you say it like “fer a” then sort of slide from one to the other like “fera” and sort of drop a little enunciation off the end you basically end up with “fer”. So to me, I think he said “for a” and that was his recollection as well, but either way the quote is basically entrenched as “for” so I don’t really think it’s worth trying to fight to correct people. Especially when the argument is so full of weird details, but if you just listen to the clip it sounds like he fucking just says “for” lmao.
I was thinking about a similar thing recently because I got a Star Wars question wrong in trivia. The question was what planet is cloud city on. I said Besbin but apparently it’s Bespin. Without looking at the word in a subtitle or knowing what it is beforehand they sound exactly alike as far as I can tell.

AccuWeather must have picked this trick up from radio stations on Facebook. At least in the past a lot of them would make memes and throw their logo on it, I can only guess in the hopes people would see the logo even if they’re downloading and sharing and not clicking the share button.

- Screenshot it in case they keep harassing you
- Report them for sexual harassment
- Block them (or ignore if the app you’re using has that instead so they won’t know you did anything)
That said, the unsolicited dick pics I’ve received have been more of a frustration because I stopped responding. In that scenario they want a reaction, any reaction.

They’re pushing hard for them in Georgia. I get a lot of ads on YouTube about how Georgia Power has recently locked in a rate for three years. (I believe they’re ignoring that it shot up a lot prior to this, but I might be mistaken.) It’s so weird seeing ad campaigns that are targeting businesses instead of individuals (or at least individuals working for businesses).
