  😂 how does the fact that that average person doesn’t use meth oppress anyone?

  I didn’t know that. Thank you!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Update: Valve Responds] Mastercard Denies Pressuring Steam To Censor 'NSFW' Games⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for the tips. I have been using that storyteller and easy mode but picking a random temperate forest.

  I keep trying to learn rimworld. I drop out of most tutorials some time after building a refrigerator. Any recommendations on how to get further along? This is a game I’ll love once I know it but I’m not there yet.

  Thank you for the particular feeling of fucked up laughter I didn’t know i needed this morning.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Breaking: Netflix has made another minor change for their subscribers.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks! Just don’t forget to cancel and end up feeling like an idiot. I think it’s possible to cancel the next day and still watch for the rest of the month. At least it was last time I did it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Breaking: Netflix has made another minor change for their subscribers.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I have all the skill and info needed to pirate anything I want safely and easily. I still use your method.

  #1 stats are recorded and they can see what those of us who only buy one month a year watch. #2 it’s easy and $18 a year isn’t a bad price for the shows and movies I am interesting IMO. #3 there is a certain joy in binging and cancelling after one month that pirating cannot provide.

  PS: I kinda like checking in on the Netflix interface once a year just to see what people are dealing with.

  I’m definitely not immune but sometimes an ad is annoying enough I decide I’m done with that company for a few years at least.

  Dude, no. African Americans, also known as Black Americans and formerly also called Afro-Americans, are an American racial or ethnic group consisting of Americans with partial or total ancestry from any of the Black racial groups of Africa.

  I think they are trying to refer to musk but he is African not African-American. Hrm…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hubris⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Always thought they spent time designing the packaging to cause it to pop as a marketing gimmick. Only fun memories here

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not enough people buying Premium, eh?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought it was based around BSSID which cannot be changed on most devices. Changing SSID helps?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DnD⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve never played Slugblaster but all the rest were great fun. However, I have had the very best sessions with Apocalypse World 2 and Monsterhearts 2. If you are into either of those genres and have the group for it you’re in luck. A good session feels better than literally taking happy drugs.

  (Finding the right group for Monsterhearts is quite the trick though.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DnD⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Amen. With a list like that how could you leave out Apocalypse World?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wait, my body's own heat is enough? Always has been.⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  19C during the day, 14C at night, 22C in the office because sitting still and concentrating is no way to keep warm.

  I can’t wait until it’s warm enough to just keep windows open 24/7 again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wise words⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree with your post for the most part but “I think” are wasted words. Every statement is a something someone thinks unless they cite a source. Only include “I think” if you’re doubting your opinions.

  I see my mistake. I was overly focused on airborne data. Malaria hasn’t really changed for the better has it. Thank you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What doesn't kill ya⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I stand corrected. Let me adjust my comment. Most viruses, the vast majority, are not deadly to humans. Those that are mutate to become less deadly to humans over time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What doesn't kill ya⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Totally 💯

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What doesn't kill ya⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  HIV won’t kill you. It weakens your immune system so other diseases kill you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What doesn't kill ya⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Uh… Cancer is not an organism with its own genes. Cancer is you baby, you’re just just getting out of control. Viruses sometimes start deadly but they almost always get less deadly over time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What doesn't kill ya⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t they usually mutate to less deadly forms? Killing their host isn’t exactly a successful strategy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm all of them⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m all of these fish. If I’m going to spend my life playing a game I want to immerse myself as much as possible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is metal as fuck⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I know at least one dude who’s parents caught him trying to cut off his balls with garden sheers when he was young in the 90s. They stopped him and he went on to play football and marry a woman and all the stuff his folks wanted. I wonder how he’s doing now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do I Need to Watch Discovery To Enjoy SNW?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel so validated. :). Star Trek Beyond… I tried twice and didn’t last through the ATV action scene either time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do I Need to Watch Discovery To Enjoy SNW?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve only watched the first episode of seasons 1 and 3 of Discovery I wanted to like it but I kept falling asleep. I tried a few times.

  I watched all of Strange New Worlds and only fell asleep during one episode which I rewatced later without trouble. I highly recommend SNW.

  PS: I’m under 50 and yes my metric for judgement when it comes to TV is “would I rather be sleeping?”

  Yes. And The Underminer from Incredibles static.wikia.nocookie.net/…/latest?cb=20180627005…
