Almost 40 here, I feel the same. Some things evolve, some things get replaced and some mostly stay the same, but the worst is when it feels stagnant or even decaying. That’s worse than actual loss in some ways.

But in the real world you probably don’t need more precision than 333.3 anyway.
- Comment on Florida ounces 1 week ago:
If you really need that level of precision for some reason you can just write 1/3m as a fraction.

I expect it goes like this: Electricity is real and does things, yet it’s so mysterious and unseen! Just like god!

It’s a thing kids say, “girls go to college to get more knowledge, boys go to Jupiter, to get more stupider”.

Yes. I knew (or at least thought I knew) what my problems were but needed help with figuring out what to do about them. Finally started seeing someone to help me with that and they did.

we can even acknowledge that a lot of men have raped people without knowing it
I wouldn’t go as far as to call them rapists because that was not their intention
I see what you’re getting at, but I really wouldn’t use that word in any context where there might have been, for example, a power dynamic or some form of coercion, for example. Keeping it reserved for situations where violence or significant coercion are involved is better for everyone, especially the victims.
Doesn’t mean using mild coercion/emotional blackmail/pestering/shaming/… is okay behaviour, it’s just way less severe because saying no won’t usually do much beyond change the relationship between the people involved. Talking about that is fine and good, using “rape” to describe it will probably shut down any conversation before it can even begin, though.
I’d also argue that that sort of behaviour is something both men and women engage in, maybe in different ways but, well, the expectation on men is to always be sexually available, so it sometimes becomes an issue when they are not. Mutual respect and understanding really are the most important things in a relationship, both participants are fully realized human beings, not just “the girlfriend/wife” or “the boyfriend/husband”. But people seem to forget that some time.

People hate on fictional characters all the time though.

There is a lot of overlap, TERFs usually have a problem with trans women because they deeply mistrust men. The “R” is there for a reason.
- Comment on I liked Star Trek before it got woke. /s 6 months ago:
Yep, and they suck at analogies too. The old format usually had fairly enlightened people encounter an injustice, usually making it right in some way. It’s morality theater. Discovery made the Federation itself dark and edgy and the people on board a complete mess, not a world I’d like to live in. Maybe that’s what some people perceive when they complain about “politics”.

We still have mass phenomenons and bringing 100 people together is plenty. What’s probably missing is local community.
- Comment on Anons make the worst game ever 7 months ago:
Every mission is like this one from GTA:VC. Easy to fail, unskippable intro and you can’t save during it. Add minute-long loading times and it’s perfect.

We need more “men and women have it hard, let’s do something about it” content. It’s not a competition, it sucks for everybody.

- Comment on Anon sees happy people 7 months ago:
That is true, neither shaming people for how they might feel in the moment nor sharing it without context is great or helpful.
- Comment on Anon sees happy people 7 months ago:
I’ll never understand that reaction.
The experience was ptobably painful (literally) for Anon so his lizard brain immediately wanted to strike back at what’s causing the pain. Doesn’t make much sense of course so he didn’t actually do it, probably felt bad about it too.

Decency is not acting on negative emotions and impulses, not not having them at all.

- Comment on Steam's new disclaimer reminds everyone that you don't actually own your games, GOG moves in for the killshot: Its offline installers 'cannot be taken away from you' 9 months ago:
As far as I know there is no mandatory DRM on Steam either, so if a publisher wants to they can just make their game be portable and not require Steam to even be installed. Pretty sure all the re-releases that use DOSBox or ScummVM are like this, for example.

There’s a spectrum going from someone just posting stuff and getting paid to shameless exploitation of vulnerable people through parasocial relationships. The latter can be very lucrative.
