- Comment on I want a new retro Final Fantasy 23 hours ago:
I went back and played 4,5, and 6 via emulators a few years back. I’d give those a shot if you haven’t yet!

Just more evidence of the Grand Design!
Checkmate, atheists!
- Comment on Why does most of the US blame Saudi Arabia for the 9/11 attacks? Al-Qaeda may have been trained there but that doesn't makes Saudi's responsible does it? 3 days ago:
probably all of the south who are somewhat educated.
That IS going out on a limb.

I have no doubt that there are ignorant assholes out there, and the reason they believe that is because racism. But I don’t think they are anywhere close to being the majority.

Most Americans were 13 or younger when 9/11 happened
And this is the most painful thing I’ve read today.

Does most of the US blame Saudi Arabia for the attack? I’ve never heard anyone make that claim, let alone MOST people.
- Comment on If we take physicality out and the tran debate. Doesn't almost everything boil down to a single choice? Like alcohol, tobacco, weed, heroin and other addictives. More inside. 4 days ago:
If you’re simplifying drug addiction down to “You made a choice to take that drug.” For the most part, that’s true. Aside from any non consensual dosings, which I’m sure you’d agree are the exception, 100% of addicts chose to use it that first time.
We can’t completely toss away predisposition though. There are a lot of people who have chosen to use a substance that first time, and didn’t get hooked. Others, whether through genetics or psychology, aren’t as lucky.
Imagine the scenario of a safe, recreational user. He has occasionally used X over the years, and has no addiction. He goes months without even thinking about X. He hangs out with a friend, who is a little more passionate about his hobbies. After hearing about how his trusted friend has been safely using X for years, he reluctantly decides that the DON’T DO DRUGS propaganda from school must have been exaggerating. After all, this good friend isn’t homeless and sucking dick at the bus station for X. Sadly, this friend REALLY enjoys it and tries it again more frequently than his friend, and his use escalates until he developed an addiction.
Yeah, he made a choice, but sometimes it’s based on misleading evidence, and not just looking cool.
- Comment on People who work in medical offices, has anyone ever called to verify a doctor note for work or school? 4 days ago:
It was so long ago, I don’t exactly remember what it looked like, but I do remember laughing at how little effort went into it.
- Comment on People who work in medical offices, has anyone ever called to verify a doctor note for work or school? 4 days ago:
I think I actually did once. But only because this particular employee was so unreliable that we had told her that we’d for her for calling off without a doctor’s excuse.
Sure enough, she called off, but she did bring in a doctor’s note… that just happened to look like she wrote it on the way to work.
I called the number on it later that day and I’m pretty sure she was the one that answered before hanging up on me.
- Comment on How can maladaptive daydreamers possibly enjoy movies if they daydream and can't focus on the movie? 1 week ago:
Yeah, but I’ll agree that TODAY’S general audience is not that interested.

And I’ve never read one!

Spam away. The jobs you want may not be hiring, so send out applications for the jobs you need. You can keep spamming until you make your way to where you want to be.
- Comment on I still can't get over Skyrim. Are there any games that can replace it? 1 week ago:
It really was! It was available for free on Gamepass, so even though I’d already done SO many playthroughs, I thought I’d check it out. I didn’t put it down until I had done almost literally everything.
- Comment on I still can't get over Skyrim. Are there any games that can replace it? 1 week ago:
This might just be too obvious, but nobody’s mentioned it… Have you played the other Elder Scrolls, like the Oblivion remaster?
- Comment on why are all social medias based around western values? 1 week ago:
You say ALL social media is based on Western values.
Have you seen this in Social media that ISN’T based in English or another Western language?
- Comment on Is the Glock 17V any good? 1 week ago:
No… It’s ALL EVIL! Bwahaha!
- Comment on How did we get "bike" from "bicycle"? 1 week ago:
Or “Will” from"Billiam"?
- Comment on Why is "I was born this way" and other "genetic predisposition" defenses almost common place? I get the physical stuff like loss of limbs but not the I was born to hate, or rape, and so forth? 1 week ago:
I’m loving all this, but let’s not forget nurture! What we learn through our experiences can create or crush that same desire to help people that leads to nursing.
- Comment on Do people really give a shit on what a US President wear? I just see from time to time that they bring up the Tan Suit Incident with Obama. What is or was the big deal? I slept since then. 1 week ago:
I love the idea! If they’re going to be bought and paid for, we should know who the sponsors are.
- Comment on What exactly is a third party launcher? 1 week ago:
Are you asking because you still don’t understand why you’re wrong, or because you’re trying to convince the world that everyone else is wrong?
If you’re having trouble grasping the concept, it’s probably because you keep referring to different, very specific examples as contradictions to other very specific examples.
If you just want me to say you’re right and everyone else should change their definitions to match yours, then you do you, and best of luck with that.
- Comment on What exactly is a third party launcher? 1 week ago:
“Third party” in the general sense, means “Someone that isn’t you or me”
So, when Steam says third party, they refer to companies that aren’t Steam. When other companies say it, they refer to any other company, including Steam. It’s context sensitive.
- Comment on What exactly is a third party launcher? 1 week ago:
Remember the example I said about the birds? This is essentially you saying, “But what about the Flying Fish? That proves that birds swim and fish fly.”
Like I said, you have every right to keep saying it wrong. It’s your choice.
- Comment on What exactly is a third party launcher? 1 week ago:
Think of it this way. You’re free to call all creatures that live underwater “birds”, but no matter how many good reasons you have for doing that, or how much sense it makes to you, the rest of the world is going to assume that “birds” means flying feathered creatures. Unless you can convince the entire English speaking world that they are wrong and you are right, you’re just going to create confusion in others and yourself by refusing to use the terms as most people understand them.
- Comment on What exactly is a third party launcher? 1 week ago:
You’ve added a lot of false assumptions to make this overly complicated and wrong.
- Comment on What exactly is a third party launcher? 1 week ago:
You are wrong. The company that makes the game is the first party. You are the second party. If the launcher wasn’t made by the first party, then it is run by a third party.

Most people just toss the shake they accumulate over the years, but this guy turns it into a God damn Gala!
- Comment on Any examples of spoonerisms insults 1 week ago:
I just realized alliteration is spoonerism-proof!
- Comment on What was the internet like before Y2K happened ? 1 week ago:
Ahh, yes, I remember hearing the clop clop of the FTP man coming down our road. It was often the highlight of the day! I would go running through house yelling “Mummy! Mummy! The downloads are here!”
We would meet him out front of the house and everyone would hope that he had brought a new photo or shareware demo just for them!

The first 25 were the owner checking to see if anyone else had visited.
