- Comment on Do elaborate on the accusations of "toxicity" 5 days ago:
I don’t know what I said but I hope it was some of the vile shit I was spewing about Mitch McConnell. That would just make it sweeter.
- Comment on Badge of Honor 6 days ago:
In a place where most of use showed from reddit, because we were sick of censorship no less.
This is egregious. A total breach of trust for new users.
An instance ban or mod action is one thing but hitting the API is just evil.
- Comment on thoughts and prayers for science 1 week ago:
I’m too tired to be mad about this or the changes that will happen to remind people of how important science is…
But I can always see in my minds eye, some future leader saying. “There’s no way we could have known.”
And that keeps me at a simmer.
- Comment on Bethesda roadmap: more Fallout is coming, Starfield support continues, but Elder Scrolls VI is the main priority 2 weeks ago:
The fucked up thing was 76 was actually a pretty chill and causal game. My roommate got me to play it for a few weeks…
And then Bethesda decided to change the level scaling so that everything was a bullet sponge.
Now I wont claim it was the best fallout game, but I was having fun exploring the map and having super high level players give me gear and ammo as a relative newbie.
In my opinion they broke the game the moment everything scaled to my level and I was forced to feel the grind constantly. A clear money grab to make players spend on in game purchases.
Besides that I’ll defend the 76 esthetic and community. When I left, it was because it stopped being fun to scrape for everything. Especially in areas that I had cleared 20 levels ago.
- Comment on Fallout 5 officially in pre-production, being built on Elder Scrolls VI engine 2 weeks ago:
Pretty sure the only reason they’re doing it is as a token move for some court order or something. I’m really not interested either. No hype for me thanks. I’d rather have an actual game then the nebulous promise of a game that’s going to be disappointing.
Starfield was their last shot for me. They fumbled that.

- Comment on Major media company asks itself why major media companies aren't exposing what's going on--"Where's Mitch McConnell?" mystery exposes media failures 3 weeks ago:
And at that time, TikTok was still mostly free and open, and general public sentiment was firmly with the workers. Even with the traditional media not really giving a clear picture of the events, Gen Z, Gen Alpha, and Millennials were all firmly with the workers. Biden had a softball, but he chose the rich.

I dont know why you got down voted. You’re right.
The establishment democrats tried to rig the election. It wasn’t sloppy voter fraud. They tried to pick their candidate with Harris (after already forcing us to vote for Biden the first time). It was clear in 2020 that the most popular candidate was Bernie. They just made sure to have 20 other primary candidates with different enough edge issues that it kept the vote split.
As soon as I heard Biden’s back then I knew we were fucked. That the democrats were just good cop. Biden proved it when he sided with the railroad companies during the workers strike.
And he proved it again when he dropped out after the 2024 primaries and endorsed Kamila.
It was bullshit then and its still bullshit now and we all remember it.

None of them are google.

Mean while, I’m over here turning down my radio at stop signs and red-lights so no one takes more than a passing notice of my existence.

I don’t want hair in my mouth but I do like the idea of loosing a finger in the jungle

Seeing how little we actually did, I often wonder if he regrets coming forward.
- Comment on How not to advertise 101! 5 weeks ago:
and if your audio isn’t properly equalized to whatever I was watching then I will actively go out of my way to rate your product negatively. It’s not much, but I am that kind of petty.

It’s not even a horny thing, but the one on the left is just too distracting. I’d be staring at it the whole time just trying to figure out why Supergirl made that choice.
Her thighs would be cold the whole time. Any major combat movement is going to make her bits show. It looks like she literally cut her shorts into that shape.
Like… I like attractive women too, but come on, guys. There’s no way in hell she’d wear her costume like that. I wouldn’t even be able to enjoy it in the toxic male-gaze way. I’d just be annoyed by it the whole time.

If i cant log in with an independent email then im not ltailgate.
I had the same problem yesterday as I was investigating tailscale. And while I get it for that service there’s no reason for it for some of the other services that ask me to link my other accounts to them as a means of logging in.
No. I will not consolidate my log-in profiles under companies that dont see me as a person.
Anonymous or nothing. Period.

- Comment on most perverted men are actually very vanilla and run away when faced with a perverted woman 1 month ago:
I get you.
The day you realize that you’re more than your mask can be earth-shattering. I still remember mine, and it took me another decade to start learning what who I was behind it.
- Comment on most perverted men are actually very vanilla and run away when faced with a perverted woman 1 month ago:
Yeah, I think I’m pretty vanilla myself. Maybe a little cookie dough in there for variety, idk. But there are some people in the kink community who are truly amazing. There are some shitty people in there too, but the good ones? Sterling. I’m proud to keep them in my circle of friends.
- Comment on most perverted men are actually very vanilla and run away when faced with a perverted woman 1 month ago:
This isn’t limited to sexual preferences, though. That’s just peacocking. People who like something for clout are often excessive in their bragging about it. The people who actually like a thing, sexual or otherwise, tend to integrate it and just enjoy that thing for themselves.
Unless you’re autistic, then everyone gets to know about it. But that’s noticeable too.
The difference is between saying, “I’m a freak in bed,” and “Let me tell you about this one super-niche part of the rope-play community and how it’s actually more of an art form than anything sexual.”
- Comment on most perverted men are actually very vanilla and run away when faced with a perverted woman 1 month ago:
This gave me a bit of a giggle because I used to know a real one that will show off their work. Not as a trophy or anything, more like, “This is how bruised I’m willing to make someone.”
All pictures were taken from the neck down and with consent.
- Comment on most perverted men are actually very vanilla and run away when faced with a perverted woman 1 month ago:
For sure. All of my friends in the community HATE 50 Shades of Grey
- Comment on most perverted men are actually very vanilla and run away when faced with a perverted woman 1 month ago:
Kink is a spectrum, and I haven’t been exploring it for a few years, but from what I remember, the various communities of kink are always mismatched.
There are always more sub men than there are dom women. This compounds when you realize that usually those sub men are looking for certain types of play that the doms aren’t into. Dommy mommies and what have you.
Like, I think of the feminization community. It’s hard to find people who like feminization but don’t also like cuck play, or race-cuck play, which to me is gross but is a major aspect of that community.
Matching freaks is hard, man.

- Comment on New York real estate titan likens the phrase ‘tax the rich’ to racial slurs 2 months ago:
That’s like admitting they live in a completely different world. That’s what blows my mind. By implication, he’s admitting the wealthy exist in a completely separate reality. That the shadow economy is real, and that the average person is effectively a second-class citizen. It’s an acknowledgment that it is, and maybe always has been, us versus them. I’ve always said they exist in a completely different world, one that operates on different rules than the rest of us. More than just the obvious. Everything you posted, culture, norms, ancestry, history. They will never change to help you. They will always operate from a place of exploitation. It’s their culture. They made it so.

It hurts, man. Especially knowing that the road I took has crumbled behind me, like in those old Looney Tunes cartoons where someone redraws the road lines to lead people off a cliff.
- Comment on 2/10 people on Lemmy, is that you? 2 months ago:
There are some people who have just been filled with so much wrong information over the course of their life that it’s impossible to reach them. Anything you say to them will have a keyword that puts their guard up, any fact you share would be fake news. It’s like their brains have been encrypted with the propaganda and hate. It’s pavlovian. I try to recognize it in myself and maintain an open mind but it’s hard.
