Sure, I think deals and coupons were always a thing, but there were actually deals. I can’t speak for everyone, but I feel like these “deals” now just take an inflated price and make it reasonable. They’re not a deal so much anymore, just a way to make things somewhat reasonably priced.

Jesus, that was a bit of a mouthful huh? Also “says what” doesn’t work when I can just reread it. But I love this, how do you like how society is progressing. Do you like the push for DEI, trans rights, gay marriage, legalizing weed, pushing for socialized health care, gender-affirming procedures, and abortion rights? I’m assuming you like all that. I mean you wouldn’t want to be a “petty bitch” for not liking how society is progressing.

You sound like you weren’t hugged enough.

Yes, greedy companies charge more and are making it harder to get things at a responsible price, that’s the mildly infuriating bit.

I feel like people have to be purposefully missing the point to make comments like this.
You used to be able to just order pizza and it be a reasonable price. I’d you have to do research and build out a coupon spreadsheet just to get a responsible price, that’s a problem.

- Comment on Today, it has been 6 years since The Elder Scrolls 6 teaser 2 weeks ago:
I love Bethesda, what are you on about? See, that’s why making assumptions is bad lol.
No they don’t owe anyone anything. Unless you consider the fact that a company owes fans a good product or else they lose those fans. Like I said, I love Bethesda, but I’m not a blind fan boy. I can see them slipping with each new release. Do you think Fallout 76, with its issues and lies they told about it never having P2W is good? So you think a huge number of barren planets adds and entertainment value? They need to start doing better because they can’t rely on their past success forever.

This is a forum about games and you’re calling people nerds? Lol, go play more Madden.
- Comment on Intrusive thoughts 2 months ago:
Yes but in your description of an intrusive thought you could still act on it, you just don’t. But I’m sure there are people who at some point have.
I think your last sentence is close to where I sit. In my mind there is plenty of room for overlap between the two. You can have an intrusive thought with out without the impulse to do it. Yes it is distressing, but part of the intrusive thought is that sense of morbid wonder that I have to believe some people have acted on.
Also I’m no psychological expert or anything, I could be way off, it’s just my take.
- Comment on Intrusive thoughts 2 months ago:
In my mind the two don’t have to be entirely separate even, there can be some overlap.
- Comment on Intrusive thoughts 2 months ago:
I think if you’re hearing actual voices urging you to do things that’s a condition that should be addressed, that’s not normal.
- Comment on Intrusive thoughts 2 months ago:
Doing it or not doing it doesn’t change the type of thought it is, based on the definition. I reality we will never know, this could have been and most likely was planned. But assuming they didn’t want to waste money and destroy a roll of solder, the thought could have been intrusive then acted on. The possibility is there.
- Comment on Intrusive thoughts 2 months ago:
I doubt anyone wants to waste a whole roll of solder. It’s an unwanted action that they had a thought about. That’s the intrusive thought, they then just acted on it.
An intrusive thought is the thought, acting on it or not is separate.
- Comment on Intrusive thoughts 2 months ago:
Intrusive thoughts are unwanted, involuntary thoughts, images, or ideas that can be distressing or upsetting. They can also be called interfering thoughts. These thoughts can occur spontaneously or be triggered by internal or external stimuli. They can be strange, aggressive, or sexual.
The act shown in the picture is certainly an intrusive thought.
- Comment on Why do people around me tend to increase their responsibility load (i.e. have children, become a manager, do charity, etc.) while I (30M) try to avoid it as much as I can? 2 months ago:
This. I’m currently a CTO. Planning my next move to be a developer, not management of any kind.

Not even remotely? That’s a bit hyperbolic. I don’t think it’s a sim either, but it has some qualities of one.

Right? And people get mad at me for saying gur-affe at the zoo. They should have slept it different if they wanted me to say jir-affe.
