I’ve only served on jury duty once, and it was kinda fucked up. Child abuse case, and we were all kinda on the fence leaning toward defendant was guilty, but the evidence presented was just absolute dogshit. Lots of reasonable doubts.
Found the dude not guilty on the premise that we’d rather let a guilty piece of shit off the hook than risk convicting someone who’s innocent, but it felt real fuckin icky to give that verdict over what was most likely just a lazy investigation by the cops.
Hope the kid turned out okay… must have absolutely zero faith in the legal system because of that.

The cheap food is secondary to the poverty, and the decision to eat it for price over health is secondary to our evolutionary biology.
These stand out as pretty reasonable things to blame.
The take of “you don’t want to feel tortured 24/7 and the only way not to is unhealthy? Well that’s your fault!” …is pretty fuckin bonkers.
- Comment on Times are tough - but i look faboo 1 week ago:
Correct, but alas, I -like most people- am not a fucking robot. Our behavior is influenced heavily by our chemistry, and while we have the ability consciously go against what the entirety of our species’ evolution is compelling us to do, we tend not. Cuz that’s literally how we’re wired.
Tolerating the sensation of even moderate hunger is agonizing over long periods - if the choice is between that and getting fat, I’m getting fat.
- Comment on Times are tough - but i look faboo 1 week ago:
When I was piss broke I got fat as fuck. Cheap food is 99% insanely processed carbs. Fills ya up, but it absolutely destroys your body.
Pet peeve of mine nowadays when I hear someone give a low income person shit for being fat… “Hurr durr looks like they can afford to eat!” Fuck you!
Um… /rant lol.

Glad you had a better experience. It was a real disappointment for me - not just the game, but Bethesda still stood out as company that’s passionate about games. Seeing them abandon that for a quick buck really did sting.

It showcases how little pride they put into their franchise. Like… if I need a frame built for a new house construction, and the local meth addict offers to do it for 1/10th the cost of the cheapest actual framing company, and I say “Sweet! Let’s have the meth addict do it!” …and he does a predictably shit and unfinished job despite claiming he could do it just as well as professional framers… the main problem here isn’t that a guy who’s brain was fried by meth framed my house, the problem is that I hired someone who’s brain was cooked by meth to frame my house!
Shitting on Zenimax Online Studies is like pinning the situation on the addict.

Launch wasn’t as bumpy as FO76, but it was still pretty bad in the sense that the gaming community realized it was another false-advertising cash grab very clearly built around a microtransaction sales model, which they switched to after the first wave of misguided subscribers realized we’d been duped. They leaned heavily on Skyrim’s success, citing things like combat having that kind of weighty feel - swing a sword into a shield and you get that rebound like two items with real mass just hit eachother. ESO didn’t even attempt to replicate that like they promised, but delivered combat animations that felt more like a bad WoW knockoff, with two models just swinging at eachother but not actually responding to the contact in any way other than the healthbar ticking down.
It’s another example of over-promising and under-delivering. If it didn’t have the Elder Scrolls stamp on it and was marked as the C-tier medieval fantasy MMO that it was, and priced accordingly, it would have been received just fine.
But their initial charge was $60 plus a $15/mo subscription AND microtransaction bs… which for the ‘Skyrim but an MMO’ experience we were sold, many of us stood ready with the wallet open. Didn’t take long at all for the gaming community to notice the difference between the brand new Lamborghini we were sold didn’t exactly match the third-hand Honda Civic we received.
Elder Scrolls enshittified. I won’t complain if they make a comeback, but I’m not holding my breath either.

After the shit shows of Fallout 76 and Elder Scrolls Online, I don’t think I actually give a shit about either anymore.
I’ll be pleasantly surprised if it’s not shit.

- Comment on Before Wolverine got his adamantium body, could he grow back his bone claws do to his healing factor? Or is it just for skin muscile and organs? 2 weeks ago:
…what happens if he gets cut in half, perfectly midline/saggital and the two halves are separated so they can’t just heal back into eachother?
Does each side heal into a separate whole Wolverine?
You could pin his left side down onto some kind of reciprocating base that moves adjacent to a razor or saw, and just time the back and forth motion to correlate with his regeneration.
Basically a deli meat cutter, but used to print an army of Logans. Or a literal deli meat slicer depending on how you plan on using the Logans.
Have the comics/movies tackled this yet?

Absolutely. That dude was likely personally responsible for a good handful of these policies. Nowadays I’d be willing to bet that he’s either in jail or actively flirting with it.
Or dead.

There’s nuance here. If it’s ‘bad’ as in like the meat is still raw, or there’s a lump of the chef’s hair wadded up in it, then yeah it’s refund time.
If it’s ‘bad’ as in they made it properly but you didn’t like it, just suck it up and don’t order it next time. It’s good to try new things, but you can’t expect all of them to be a banger. The number of people I’ve seen punish the restaurant for giving them exactly what they asked for is kinda bonkers.

Some of them went over the top the try to ‘make it right’. Dude I went to highschool with did this shit almost like it was a hobby. He’d call the customer support line and complain about whatever bullshit he could come up with - gummy lump in his drink, hard flake in his bag of chips that 'might have been a fingernail!… they’d take his number and address, and that was usually the end of it.
Then occasionally a box would randomly show up at his front door with like 50 bottles of soda or candy bars or w/e, and a letter apologizing for the trouble lol.
Manipulative little shit. And that was when we were like 14 years old… dude’s probably running his own organized crime ring nowadays. xD

That’s clever honestly. I could see that working well for things like banners addressing a broad audience - marketing type stuff.
My bitching is more geared to why it was structured that way in the first place… and obviously it didn’t just appear overnight, but developed over ages like most other languages. Some trends stick and others don’t… gendering random inanimate objects is one that stuck. …for some weird-ass reason.

Am American. Canada and Greenland infact do not exist. Still sticking with what I learned directly from the culture in question over an internet stranger and a handful of articles.
Speaking also as an internet stranger to all of our readers, I know my own posts carry the same amount of weight as yours - that is, none at all.
Didn’t intend to stir up any drama in sharing my experience. I’ll be sure to learn the regional etiquette if and when I visit other areas.

Oh, thinking you can change a major language structure to make it more PC is dumb as hell. I’m not advocating for it, but I do understand a shred of of where that push is coming from. Spanish is VERY MUCH A GENDERED LANGUAGE… but… why? Why is my chair a girl, and shoe a boy? The status quo in this case is about as dumb as thinking we can change it.
- Comment on You can't argue with his logic 3 weeks ago:
While I do get wanting to steer the language away from pointlessly gendering everything (why tf do I need to know if my blender is a boy or girl??) …yeah “Latinx” ain’t it.
To me it always reads phonetically like “lah-teenks”. I hate it.

Back when I was a wee little shit, and the parents were ritualistically sacrificing my Sunday mornings to Sky Daddy & Super-J by dragging my ass to church: I recall our pastor actually addressing this. Idr the verse he referenced, but it boiled down your ‘soul’ or some shit being driven to god even if you haven’t been exposed to him here on Earth. TLDR, even if you don’t know, you still go to hell for being a dirty heathen, so good 'ol christians have a duty to go shove their shit down as many throats as possible to ‘save’ them.
Whether or not that’s true to their lore, I have no idea - there are so many contradictions in that shit that you can basically make it say whatever you want.

Spent some time in Alaska - the natives I had a chance to speak to referred to themselves as Eskimos. And it wasn’t one of those ‘we can say it, but it’s derogatory coming from anyone else’ words… it’s just a word they use for their people. They were kind of amused at the whole controversy.
It’s anecdote, and the number of them actually offended by the term Eskimo is probably higher than zero, but by and large this is white people being offended on their behalf at something that is a non-issue.
So, call em Eskimos. Or Inuit. Or Natives. From the source, their cool with it.
