I think I grew mine out before 20, but it’s stayed on because it absolutely made me look older.
I tried clean shaven a few times since and I end up looking like I’m 16 again. No thanks.

And? It’s not halloween yet, and even so, we still have a month before Thanksgiving.
But I guess just fuck the people too busy to decorate for Halloween at the start of September.

Republicans are traditionally, and on paper, the party of “small government”. “Fuck off feds, it’s none of your business” type shit. Some just wanted a small central government that let states and local government make their own choices, some wanted as small as government at all levels.
Which is also why you see a minority of old school republican voters refusing to call Trump’s clown show republican.
That capitalization style is meant to be mocking, because the current dipshits in power clearly don’t have any intentions of “small government”.

I’m glad you like your city, but I’ll be over here, not living somewhere I need a dedicated two person system to avoid walking through human feces.
It’s kind of amazing just how much that simply isn’t a problem in so very much of the world, and how adaptable people are to bad situations.

That you’re mentally unwell.
Also lol, you aren’t anywhere near interesting enough for devotion. Pretty damn common grade online crazy. That was my first comment in this thread and this will be my last.
Also blocking you. 1000% because I’m a coward who can’t handle the truth. Enjoy your pigeon chess trophy.

Someone who has this for their profile description is calling for purging of people with mental health issues?
Darling, I’m sure you have a mirror somewhere. Please go take a long hard look in it for a while.
In case you’re having trouble, your description screams that you fall squarely in the category you’d like to genocide.
Some bullshit about how you “speak the truth” that the world is too “cowardly” to accept? Hoo boy. That’s classic defensive behavior from someone unwilling to accept they might actually be wrong. Someone afraid or literally incapable of serious self-reflection. Don’t bend over for your beliefs, but stop and seriously re-evaluate shit if you’ve literally reached the point of “No, the entire rest of the world is wrong due to personal failings that I’m too good to have”.
The “Masters Degree level of understanding” shit is just icing on the cake. Healthy people don’t talk that way, and even many unwell people know better than to fucking lead with something that out there. Either you have these masters degrees or you don’t. If you studied for them but were denied at the last minute due to shenanigans, that’s a story/anecdote to bring up where rarely appropriate. What you have here is “person declares themselves expert in field. source: I made it the fuck up”

Hey, one thing the US has going for it. We’ll see how long it lasts.
Admittedly, it’s really only because our intelligence agencies have the ability to intercept and invisibly monitor all internet traffic, so they’d rather just put you on a list and use it against you later.

- Comment on Does you feel Crash Team Racing was better than Mario Kart? 1 week ago:
Something to remember is that CTR came out three years later than MK64. That was a lot of time for that generation of games.
That said, I remember not liking CTR as a kid because while it had more depth, the friend who had it had put a ton of time into the campaign so I had no chance of keeping up with him trying to pick it up casually through the occasional multiplayer match.

Don’t you know? Discord has a god awful, half implemented, and still practically unsearchable thread system now! You don’t ever have to leave! You wouldn’t want to leave. You’re not allowed to leave.
- Comment on You dont have to answer silly questions 1 week ago:
I’ve seen more than a few crashouts in emulation and gaming related open source devs, and the best advice I have is:
-
Make an actual fucking wiki, or have someone make it for you. Having everyone funneled into discord where you inevitably end up answerimg the same basic ass questions over and over because search is impossible is soul crushing.
-
If handling the “social” side of it, as in responding to issues, pull requests, or running a discord server for it is startijng to get to you, fucking ignore them/close them.
-
Try to keep your identity as an open source dev separate from your other identities unless you want to deal with drama related to your software every fucking moment online. Find a way to get some space.

It’s a few cosmetics and some “pre-order” style weapons that are references to Witcher. Nothing substantial. There have been mods to unlock them without Galaxy since forever, and despite all the improvements, CP2077 still benefits greatly from some mods. You’re really shooting yourself in the foot playing vanilla.
- Comment on Anon uses GOG 2 weeks ago:
I get your frustration, but Valve effectively prints money. They don’t need to care that Linux makes up less than 3% of all users, and they aren’t supporting it purely out of the goodness of their heart either, as they have direct incentive to do so through improving the Steam Deck.
Valve isn’t spending money or time tracking down rights holders of games that can’t legally be bought anymore. For all the good Valve does with Linux and Proton, there are games still being sold on Steam that simply do not work on modern machines. Steam leaves fixing that up to the devs.
We’re also just going to ignore Valve’s massive hand in popularizing the microtransaction laden lootbox hell? Team Fortress 2 has been an absolute money printer for them, and they’ve only brought that forward into all their other multiplayer games since, while doing nothing to curb all the gambling shit that has cropped up around things like CSGO skins. Or how about early access, never release “scams”?
I’m not convinced that any of that make Valve evil, but my point is that both of these companies aren’t your friends.
GOG isn’t just tossing stuff up on their storefront like Valve, they actively sort out how to get these games working on modern hardware and package it up in a way that is seamless for the average user. Unfortunately the average user is on Windows, and they don’t have the microtransaction mountains of money to burn pursuing Linux right now. That sucks.
As far as deleting the wishlist items? They answered it already.
Most importantly, a public wishlist isn’t a contract, and a company giving an answer you don’t like doesn’t make them evil.
I’m not happy about it, but this good vs evil, “this just shows the kind of company they are” shit is taking things pretty damn far.

There’s plenty of shit that disporportionately comes down on minorities, but nuclear power plant building sites?
Please, please, I’m literally begging you: Please point me to a place where a nuclear plant has been constructed somewhere that displaced anyone.
Only restriction is it can’t be people who were displaced by nuclear disaster, like Chernobyl or Fukushima.
Bonus points if it displaced minorities. Even more if there was an alternative build site available but they chose to be bastards.

If you were sorry, you wouldn’t have posted that chicken-shit “gotcha”. You already knew the answer.
Telling people they just need to make use of something literally unavailable to them is a dick move. It’s not a personal failing that our public transportation options are fucking garbage over here. It’s not a personal failing that the lack of public transportation options forces us to use alternatives that are less environmentally friendly than what we could in an ideal world.
Stop getting your cheap kicks by punching down at those of us stuck in these sorts of situations and go after the god damn corporate rats holding our heads under the fucking water.
So many motherfuckers are more interested in getting a small dopamine hit by playing crab bucket while the people running the stove are right fucking there.

These discussions are never about rural areas. No one is going to a rural town and installing[…]
That’s… not what I’m talking about at all in regards to people talking down about people who live outside of urban centers. There are people out here actively calling people maga chuds based entirely on the environment they live in.
People are chastising you for arguing people in cities that could easily bike need to drive a car. That’s what you’re doing.
Oh fuck off, I’ve done no such thing.
You’re only feeding my point and getting all bent up about shit I didn’t say. Thank you for at least explicitly stating the strawman you’ve imagined me to be.
suburban and rural people constantly fight urban transit tooth and nail
Citation fucking needed. How would someone outside one of the cities in question have any influence on those decisions, and more importantly, why in the fuck would they even care?
I personally have the displeasure of knowing plenty of god awful nimbys, and they’re all upper class urbanites worried that their little nest egg(s) in the wealthy parts of my local city will lose value.

Every time my wife has some medical thing where the symptoms or treatments could be effected by pregnancy. Although usually they just skip the sexually active question and go straight to “is there any possibility you could be pregnant?”
I’ve been present for a number of these during emergency rooms visits, and a few other situations where I had to drive her due to the use of anesthesia.
- Comment on Anon finds a plot hole 2 weeks ago:
Don’t forget that most of them live in dense urban areas as well, and to say they “look down” on those who don’t would be an absurd understatement.
Like, I moved to a place that is aiming to be an entirely walkable town, but it’s not there yet. The pandemic put a lot of the development on hold and things are finally getting back up to speed now. My closest grocery store was going to be two blocks away,but that was scrapped. There’s one being built that will be a 30 minute bike ride away. Currently, the closest one(s) are ~10 miles away. I work a job that is entirely possible to do remotely, but the execs have forced us all back into the office, ~20 miles away. I drive a hybrid because I can’t afford a full EV right now. My home’s power is nuclear and solar.
Some of the chucklefucks in these comment sections act like I’m personally clear cutting the rainforests because I dare to say that I require a car in my current life situation. Motherfuckers, I’m doing all I personally can. So go sabotage some private jets, or locally campaign for more bike lanes and public transit solutions, and get off my balls.
