  I mean there are literal websites devoted to all kinds of porn. Are you a prude about all of it, or only the furry sort? :P

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fuckin' furries⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  no one was able to describe to me wtf is this about simply put

  Did you actually ask any furries? I’ve never met a furry who had a difficult time explaining that it’s a fandom for people who enjoy anthropomorphic animals. That’s all there is to it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Survey says...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Rather than re-allocating their money across every human on earth, why not allocate it inversely proportional to the net worth of the recipient (and maybe also local currency conversion rate), to uplift the poorest folks?

  Could probably choose a lower number, too - say, $100M. Nobody needs anywhere remotely close to that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Having a bad day?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In all fairness, it’s in no way required to own a fursuit to be a furry. :) It’s only as expensive as you want it to be.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scary indeed.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because gamers have a finite amount of time and money? New releases are literally competing for both of those.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is me, too. Even if I enjoy the trip itself, “having a trip planned” but not being on the trip yet is the most stressful time of the whole ordeal, and the stress only increases the nearer to the day of the trip it gets.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sexy Spyro⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When you get an image with the mouth open and it’s alarmingly detailed, that’s when you can be absolutely sure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The T in LGBT actually stands for Thagomiser⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I don’t know about that. The top left one, on the other hand…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is judging you⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you’re gooning to the characters, you’d probably enjoy the movie, to be honest!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  IDK, WDYM?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Video game travel always has that weird feel to it, too. For instance, in the Morrowind / Oblivion / Skyrim, you can run from one city to another in roughly a minute. Even if we very generously assume you’re running at ~15 MPH (which would be crazy fast for any distance), that would put them about a quarter mile apart. At more realistic speeds, 1/8 or so.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Delivery robots are spreading across LA. Residents ‘both pity and hate them’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Perhaps it is not the entire world who is stupid while you’re one of a select few intelligent enough to really know what’s going on.

  I’m not sure where you got the impression that that was at all what I was saying, but just to restate, the complaint was that the above points never even make it into the conversation when this comes up. The discourse is always ‘Robots are taking away our jobs’, and it completely misses the ‘…and that would be okay if we took steps to ensure everyone’s prosperity’ followup.

  I’m not saying we should stop opposing this stuff because an alternative exists where it’s okay, I’m saying that we should be actively talking about that alternative every time this comes up, because the vast majority of people [in the US] are not used to even hearing it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Delivery robots are spreading across LA. Residents ‘both pity and hate them’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree with you, I just hate that it rarely ever even makes it into the conversation. “We need to regulate this new technology until we pass this other legislation that we are actively working towards which I will now outline” would be far more productive than just “This is bad and we need to ban it.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Delivery robots are spreading across LA. Residents ‘both pity and hate them’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The reasons related to them occupying sidewalks and whatnot are totally reasonable, but I really hate when something like this is opposed because it will take jobs from delivery drivers. That’s such a backwards way of thinking. “Humans need to work because working is how we make money and we need money to live” Sure, but like… what if we didn’t need money to live? What if the increased ‘free’ labor that things like this provide was just… shared equitably among everyone in the community? What if we had UBI so people didn’t need to work gig economy jobs that could be done by robots?

  But no, that’s crazy talk.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come assassinations went away for the most part? Why send a bunch of god fearing young kids into a battle the upper class started or wanted when clipping one leader would stop it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Imagine you’re the leader of a country. You’ve got beef with the leader of another country.

  You can resolve your beef by sending thousands or tens of thousands of plebs to die, while remaining safe yourself, or you can normalize directly targeting each other with assassins.

  In the first case, you sit safely on your ivory throne sipping wine while the conflict resolves itself. In the latter case, you’re constantly looking over your shoulder, wondering who’s going to come for you next.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do young people still say words like "taped"?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Taped as in, to record something on VHS.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Seriously, my first thought was, “Why isn’t this a thing?”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When a judge tells the jury to ‘forget XYZ,’ how can the jury possibly do that?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It could also, however, be legitimate evidence that proves guilt, but that was obtained through illegal means and therefore is inadmissible in court.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨i'mma breed you hotter⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  We’re in a sadomasochistic relationship with chilis.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Must have apps⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  An even better option is Ventoy - You just drop the raw .isos onto the drive and it gives you all of them as options in a bootloader. Can put all of your distros on one drive (and even windows isos if you really need to for some reason).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sick of this shit⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Username checks out!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sick of this shit⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That is fun sounding; too bad it’s VR + mobile and not… a more reasonable set of environments!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sick of this shit⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You know, I would totally play an extraction game where you play as a squirrel gathering nuts and things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Durian supremacy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This makes it sound like a durian smoothie would be great, but also I don’t think I could handle the smell.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I didn't realize it was so bad⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Wow, I’m very below average for my age bracket; I feel much better about my weight now! Thanks, Gemini!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who grew up watching Beakmans World?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I loved Beakman’s World. It was a more wacky version of Bill Nye.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Boop Snoots⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  God, it makes the new models look so much worse when you put them next to the old ones like that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Some people call me the Space Cowboy... Some people call me MAAUUUU-RIIICEEE⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And here I expected that link to lead to a certain highly controversial Penny Arcade comic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Some people call me the Space Cowboy... Some people call me MAAUUUU-RIIICEEE⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s great because A) his parents presumably named him that knowing full well what they were doing and B) He could have chosen to go by Will, William, or Bill, but actively chose to use Willie professionally.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Move over Red Bull we're poppin' cells now⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, that’s a lot less fun to imagine. :(
