If I have to choose between keeping nature around and not having to buy an iron again, is gonna be a tough choice.

There was a conversation awhile back about how any term used to describe someone with a disability eventually becomes a slur and history tends to back that up, but I’d say ‘special needs’ is probably about the least offensive qualifier we have today.
For 4chan, that’s like a miracle.

Roger Garth at least claims it’s based on a picture of them from around '05. No original photo found and could just be trying to cash in on the trend, but they knew about where the photo was from and offered details we didn’t have before (Obviously, could have been made up).
I think filippa hamilton has also claimed it was her, but with no supporting details.

But yes, what kind of unit is this?
How lifelong friendships are made.

Not for quite as long, but I’ve been there my friend.
I don’t know how to tell you how to alleviate depression, but I can say that if you manage to, things may look drastically more hopeful afterwards. When you’re really truly depressed, the idea that things can get better just doesn’t make sense. You can’t trust your ability to judge that though because when you’re depressed the part of your brain you need for that just isn’t working right. It’s not capable of telling you whether normal happiness is possible, you no longer have the tools you need to judge things accurately.
If you’re like I was, your depression also tells you that you are special in that the ideas that work for a lot of people who go down a path of trying to get better just wouldn’t work for you and it will take any minor setbacks as proof of the same. Your depression isn’t exactly lying to you, it’s just stupid and it’s not qualified to determine that.
I’m pulling for you.

That brings up an interesting point, they’ve been here 400 years, at one point does something stop being classified as invasive?
If we say never, then the term invasive kind of loses all meaning, but I wonder where the logical cutoff might be.

You’re not wrong, but I feel that level of support for one of their releases would be a bit out of character for Bethesda (Without the long-term monetization present in games like Fallout 76). Especially so with the trend of Bethesda’s comments indicating that the consumers are the ones who are wrong for not liking some of the more problematic game design decisions.

You’re objectively wrong.
Objectively.

Kansai region specifically, that is a bit more useful info, but that’s not new either.

I don’t know why, but I’ve never had a worse hangover than after having a few of those. Taste is alright, but do not recommend.

On a bit of a tangent, but it’s all about positioning, you repeat and broadcast the positive outcomes that you can manufacture supporting data for as much as possible and don’t engage with the negative ones. So, we don’t even talk about cancer, we just show you how much weight you can lose, and weight loss is obviously good for you, something like this:

It’s real easy to miss, but you’ll find a ‘Supported in part by the Nutrasweet Company’ in the foot notes on one of the pages. The study is not specifically ‘Aspartame is good for you and makes you run faster’ but… it’s pretty close and people are going to draw similar conclusions from it. They don’t have to lie, you just have to make sure the ‘right’ data is prevalent enough that it buries the ‘wrong’ data.

We all did, so much so that there was a petition to make it happen: change.org/…/pornhub-com-make-an-actual-porn-of-t…
400 signatures before it ended.

I’d hope so and square enix has been… improving, but their track record of ports even working properly on an average windows PC is not super great. I’m still hoping I’m wrong, but betting against it launching in verified status and kinda 50/50 on it working at all on my steam deck.

I don’t know that we’re bitching per se, just kind of a weird choice. It’s like they went to Popeye’s and tried to order a salad, it’s just like yeah, the ingredients are technically there, but why?
