Well, going to own some very successful bookstores, or have a decently successful device repair shop. (Bookshop Simulator and ReStory) Thankfully you didn’t ask this tomorrow when I start up my next Stalker 2 play through…I’d be pretty damn fucked.

Man, that’s really impressive. i can’t get shit in that game done without cheaty mods. My best raw play through got me like 3 levels down. And another I got into a couple secreted areas where I faced immediate one shot death.

There’s shitposting, and then there is being a miserable cunt. Chippy likes to claim the former while doing the latter.

I get this is a shitposting sub, but just want to say to anyone thinking this way seriously, other people have lives too. They are absolutely likely to be doing other things and don’t have time or brain space to reply. If you can’t realize that you are being too self-centered in this case, it’s time to clue in.
Sincerely, Someone that can take a long time to reply.
- Comment on Maybe it's time for Penguin 6 days ago:
MS just pushed their stupid OneDrive Photos as an update. I decided that’s my last straw. It was one thing when I could toggle AI off, but this trying to connect all my pics to contacts etc is too far. I’m done. I just wish Tuta Drive was ready for daylight. Probably going to ride Mega until it is.

Whenever I try to access the already established personal vault it asks me to set up a vault. If I go through the steps nothing changes. It’s stupid AF.
- Comment on How to deal with people who obtusely miss your point on Lemmy? 1 week ago:
I try to give them one chance. Sometimes I get pulled in deeper if I’ve got nothing better to do. But on the whole, respond with curiosity first. Then determine of they are worth your time. If not, ignore them and move on, interacting with those more worth your while while eye rolling the idiots.
Guess the best way is to not care much about what others think of you. Then, eventually, down votes and bad arguments made by morons really just don’t even bother you. Engage with better people, ignore the rest and chuck a down vote.
- Comment on How do people easily find out that I'm an easy to pick up on? 1 week ago:
Draw firm boundaries with them on what they are allowed to say. If they say things you don’t like, verbalize it in some way. Start polite and move up from there. If they don’t stop, get HR involved for targeted harassment. I’ve had people that I had to tell “fuck off asshole” before they backed down. Most stop earlier though.

Only if it’s an air gapped network with no internet access.

It’s too bitter for me to enjoy. Unless it’s been made into kimchi. Then it’s my favorite part.

Just don’t buy it. Don’t look for it. Pretend it doesn’t exist. Don’t reward them.
- Comment on Capital of Estonia after a visit from Swedish football fans 2 weeks ago:
Just don’t be a dangerous, negligent person. It’s really not too much to ask. If someone thinks it is, then they’re probably one of the negligent ones.
I agree, and I think it’s a reasonable expectation. We might not entirely agree on how to get there but I think we both want the same thing of personal responsibility and reasonable behavior.
I don’t drink personally since I’ve seen it destroy lives and don’t trust myself to handle it. But I do know people that have just done dumb people things (both drinking related and not) and have corrected themselves and moved on to better things and behaviors. Some would’ve managed despite a harsh punishment, but some really wouldn’t have and would just have been a bigger problem in the end.
Because of those experiences, I see people resorting to substances as people in need of help and rehab more than ones that need dire punishments. But even with that said, punishments should match the danger one caused. I also definitely agree multi offenders should see escalating punishments though. More especially if they cause damage to more than themselves. It’s one thing to pass out on a sidewalk, another to wreck some signage, or piss on a wall. But it’s another thing entirely to drunkenly drive a car, and yet another to hurt or kill someone else because of your stupid choices.
It’s a difficult line to walk that gives adequate reeducation and mental support, and one that gives punishment on a deserving level and forces a suitable amount of restituionary actions. I agree though that we would need to see some major institutional changes for any of the solutions you and I have talked about to actually work.
- Comment on Capital of Estonia after a visit from Swedish football fans 2 weeks ago:
I hear what you are saying and understand it. I want to agree with it to. The only thing for me with punishments that severe is that you catch accidentals at a way higher rate, and it becomes super easy to ruin someone’s life as a corrupt law officer or whatever other position.
I do think there is a probably a way to handle it that’s not life ruining but I don’t really want to delve into it that far atm. Besides that though, forfeiture of a license is just forfeiture of a license. That won’t stop people from driving without one. Especially if they need to get to a job to survive. I get that they make you angry, but extreme punishments like that tend to make life impossible or overly onerous to live and will just encourage and enable more risky behaviors. It comes into the cruel and unusual punishment territory.
And you can’t expect people to behave better if you make life extremely harder to live. This isn’t dark souls lol. You have to find a balanced approach. Some kind of correctional support should be in place with a strong but not life ending punishment. I do agree that most of the time our punishments now for issues stemming from drunkenness are too lenient. Especially in the cases where drunk drivers kill someone else. The slap on the wrist for DUI related deaths is a slap in the face to the victims and their families.
- Comment on Capital of Estonia after a visit from Swedish football fans 2 weeks ago:
I don’t think we should live with a limited set of emotions, just that we should control whatever we feel. I see nothing wrong with people being excited and overjoyed at something. Even if I find that something stupid and not worth my attention. It was worth theirs and they are excited about it.
My issues come at the destruction. Alcohol is a difficult topic. Prohibition of any substance just makes access more dangerous and less safe. There should probably be lower limits for public events though.
- Comment on Capital of Estonia after a visit from Swedish football fans 2 weeks ago:
All these Swedes apologizing and me as an american watching this like, “so that’s what it looks like from the outside to apologize for your idiot countrymen.”
- Comment on Capital of Estonia after a visit from Swedish football fans 2 weeks ago:
I tune out the moment people start talking about sportsball. I think a lot of the destructive side of things comes from a mob effect. You get a lot of inebriated people together, all high on their excitement, and it compounds. It’s not justified, but one potential reason.
- Comment on Why Everyone Hates PETA (it's astroturfing) 3 weeks ago:
I will not. I’ve heard their spiel plenty, they aren’t trustworthy. You asked, I answered, and you gave a response like what I assumed you would because you don’t want to look at them critically. You fixate on a point here or there and assume that is absolution for all things or just want to pretend the rest doesn’t exist.
- Comment on Why Everyone Hates PETA (it's astroturfing) 3 weeks ago:
The leadership is unethical and corrupt, they euthanize at a WAY higher rate than any other group dealing in animal rights and welfare, they frequently lie and misrepresent issues, etc etc.
All this shit is VERY easy to google and pretty well documented. So when I say that you are refusing, it’s because you couldn’t be fucked to type “Peta issues” into a google search. You came in with your mind made up, throwing around Peta propaganda claiming whitewash and expecting a spoonfed rebuttal. I think you are likely just looking for an argument.
Here’s one of many many articles out there that look critically at the bullshit of Peta. Peta is a shit organization, run by shitty people to dupe those with a tender heart towards animals. They are trash.
- Comment on Why Everyone Hates PETA (it's astroturfing) 3 weeks ago:
If you refuse to look anything up about them, or came here with your mind made up, I really don’t see how any reply will matter.
- Comment on Why Everyone Hates PETA (it's astroturfing) 3 weeks ago:
Oh well then by all means ignore all the rest of it.

Grow the fuck up. Others aren’t responsible for your comfort. If you have a problem, you need to talk with a therapist and leave her alone.
