Yes, I block them, after I make sure that they’re insistent on being disingenuous.

I mean, basically same?
There was a kind of… cresting wave effect, where it was getting more popular, and some really good stuff was coming out… and then yeah, it became super popular, and the overall quality of any random show just tanked, with the occasional bright spot of course still showing up.
I’m baffled that this is apparently a controversial opinion, this has happened in basically every format of art ever.
- Comment on Anon was bullied 2 weeks ago:
Except that therapy actually is expensive, and a whole lot of therapists actually suck at what they’re ostensibly there to do.
Then, try finding a good therapist who actually is neurodivergent, its nearly impossible.
A neurotypical fundamentally isn’t capable of actually fully empathizing with a neurodivergent… their brains are literally wired differently.
You being this dismissive of genuine, deep seated pain… that literally is the problem, people who act like you.
Why would anyone listen to the advice of someone who doesn’t actually give a fuck about their mental health, about their CPTSD, caused by people like you?
The… whole problem is that at the most basic level, people repress and internally stew on their feelings, when broader society does not allow them to express them without mocking them.
Your entire post here is ‘I am better than you and you are pathetic, I sympathize with you though’.
Do you have no self-awareness?
… therapy is a good thing, if you can find it, if you access it, if its done by a person who actually knows what they’re doing and can actually relate to you without the sociopathic ‘emotions off/HR mode enabled’ mask that many therapists use.
We could just have a space where people could just say whats really on their minds, you know, publically.
Or we can have people like you show up when they do that, tell them they suck, and tell them they need to pay money an expert.

No you don’t get it.
Halal, most literally, means basically ‘approved’.
In this context, its essentially ‘Family Friendly’.
Inshallah most literally means ‘Godwilling’, genuine, earnest hope that the family is reunited.
I wonder if anything is going on anywhere in the Muslim world where a story about a family being able to reunite would be a resonant and uplifting story.
Again, there’s nothing inherently forbidden about … non Muslims existing, to the vast majority of Muslims.
Most of the people in this thread are being bigotted by way of presumably ignorance.
And I’m a kafir, a dhimmi, an Atheist, who just likes to learn about different cultures and religions.

Surely, there is absolutely no precedent for anything going wrong in a scenario such as that.

… Are the fish Muslim?
As part of their acting like humans?
Also, generally speaking, fish are halal to eat.
So there’s no reason for a non muslim fish to either literally not be halal, as food, nor abide by muslim dress code, as a ‘person’.
The widely varying different standards of Islamic Dress Codes != Halal.
To conflate the two would be like asking if a Yarmulke is Kosher. Its … nonsensical.

- Comment on Fallout: New Vegas dev says don't expect a remaster, argues Bethesda doesn't have the source code or 'the engineering knowhow' 2 weeks ago:
See there are a couple of problems with this plan.
- Emil Pagliarulo is complete self-sucking hack at this point, who quite literally could not write a coherent, engaging story, with characters that actually act and speak like human beings, in a world that is actually consistent and makes sense… if he tried.
As evidence of this, please see anything he’s done in the last decade.
So unless you’re gonna fire him and everyone he’s molded, no shot.
He was also the design director of Fallout 76 and Starfield.
Which are essentially perfect examples of both incompetent game design and execution of ssid design.
Literally, he is the primary problem with Bethesda as a game developing company.
- The entire problem is that you, like the rest of AAA gaming, have the game dev prioritization backwards.
You want the actual experts to fix and refactor the engine. Having contractors do all that for the last decade plus is why everything is broken now; bandaids upon bandaids produces code necrosis.
Assets, on the other hand, are broadly much simpler, (presuming you habe templates and standards as determined by the engine), and there are way more people who can produce quality assets than there are people who can fix and refactor core engine code competently.

Yeah, we know Bethseda does not have ‘the engineering knowhow’, we’ve known that for like a decade now.

- Comment on Why do we dance and hop when we desparstely need to go number 1? 2 weeks ago:
My ‘theory’:
Your sphincter and other pelvic floor muscles functionally work together to hold your pee in.
You actually have two sphincters, the external one is skeletal muscle and is controlled voluntarily/directly by you most of the time, the internal one is smooth muscle, that you generally cannot consciously control, its on autopilot.
When you really need to hold your pee in, your sphincters get more active, and start to get tired.
The muscle groups near them, they basically try to do load balancing, by shifting you around into other configurations that make it easier for the specific muscles to be able to hold your urethra shut.
Thats why you find yourself, or may be directing yourself, to reorient/reconfigure your pelvic muscles, to basically ‘help’ your sphincters be able to hold on a bit longer, by finding a mechanically less demanding pose for them to assume, that still keeps the gates closed.
Think of how if you’re carrying something heavy for a while, you’ll tend to try and shift to a different way / configuration of carrying the thing, that uses different muscle groups in different ways, if a particular muscle group is just way too exhausted.

I’ve not had much experiences with donkeys beyond basically state fairs, but that does track with what I’ve heard about them…
… tend to be a fair deal more intelligent than the average horse, and yeah I have heard that they’ll actually stand and fight, more often than a horse, who will often just freak out and then run in some random direction, potentially directly into a tree.
- Comment on Best Friend 🫂 3 weeks ago:
There are people whose entire job it is, is to be a horse fluffer, to masturbate them prior to attempting to breed two of them, or to just get the stallions to splooge into essentially a gigantic fleshlight.

Horses are very often dumb idiot assholes.
Much more so than dogs.
Yes, they’re very, incredibly useful.
Not really great ‘friend’ material though, more like you cajole them into helping you, and they maybe kind of trust you, sort of.
Wolves that we domesticated into dogs literally evolved into having eyebrow and other facial muscles that allow them to convey emotion much more analgously to how humans do.

- Comment on Steam is basically a PC gaming monopoly, so why isn’t anyone mad? 3 weeks ago:
The entire AAA video game industry right now is basically freaking out, panicking and financially imploding right now, after at least a solid decade of mainly figuring out how to waste an enormous amount of money…
While all trying to be the next big live service game.
A live service game isn’t so much a game as it is a platform itself, a cash shop.
These people all failed miserably at this, such that Ubisoft imploded, EA got bought out by Saudi Blood Money, Unity itself is imploding as an organization, MSFT switched its gaming division into pure wealth extraction mode before they shut it down in ~5 years and just act as IP liscensing overlords… etc.
They all tried to establish vertically integrated businesses, and despise that they can’t come close to matching Valve, the most competent horizontally built business in the entire industry.
And yes, the ‘video game industry’ includes nearly all ‘video game journalists’.
These people are with few exceptions, allergic to doing any actual investigative journalism, they’re mostly just paid to manipulate the flow of discourse around video games, as a form of marketing.

I’ve been abused by enough narcissists that yeah, I’ve got some rough edges to me, but frankly, I’m fine with that, a whole lot of people just fucking suck, and its a reasonably effective autorepellant for people who are too full of themselves to take a joke or criticism.
