Yeah exactly, and welcome!

It stands for Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt.
I’ll be honest, though, I only really ever see it used in borderline cult-like environments, like cryptocurrency or Star Citizen. It’s a very weird term to use IMO

Gotcha, so advocating for the same solution as AES countries do is bad, good to know.

Doesn’t China advocate for a two state solution too? Even they aren’t arguing for Israel to not exist.
- Comment on Anthropologists: "You motherfuckers!" 2 months ago:
Oh I 100% agree with you here! I thought your first comment was more of a free will/non-deterministic universe POV. I guess I read more into the “CAN BE” part of the meme.
It always annoys me how determinist viewpoints are misappropriated by racist “all nature no nurture” morons instead of the provably true and effective systemic approaches instead of the dumb individualistic ones.

There’s already an explanation for the Mandela effect, it’s that our memories are extremely fallible and more affected by our view/environment as opposed to facts than most people believe.

Shocking, no argument or refutation from a sexist chud.
- Comment on How China’s first AAA game Wukong Became One of the Fastest Selling Games in History 3 months ago:
I’ve not seen any evidence it was a mistranslation, and they’ve made multiple similar comments. And there’s a few in-game moments that also reflect that type of casual misogyny. I’ve also seen it commented on by several outlets and players in the genre, so I have no idea what you mean by “hit piece” since I’m not referring to a single article.
Second, why on earth wouldn’t you open with this as your argument instead of “apparently the sexist comment by the devs was right”?? Lol it seems like you support the Gamergate level sexism smh
Critical support for sexist game devs is praxis, apparently /s
- Comment on How China’s first AAA game Wukong Became One of the Fastest Selling Games in History 3 months ago:
Unsurprisingly and unfortunately, there are plenty of sexist, dumb chud Gamers™ who don’t care about sexist developers.

Aren’t these the “we don’t need female players” devs?
- Comment on Posting the shopping cart theory because people had questions in a separate thread 3 months ago:
The “utility” of utilitarianism isn’t that type of utility. IIRC it generally refers to the idea of maximizing happiness and minimizing harm, with a focus on outcomes of the whole, rather than the individual. Efficiency of labor doesn’t explicitly factor into it.
Personally, I think you’re just rationalizing being lazy and potentially causing harm to others, which isn’t utilitarian at all.
- Comment on Posting the shopping cart theory because people had questions in a separate thread 3 months ago:
From a utilitarian perspective
Pretty sure that’s not what utilitarianism means lol

- Comment on Anon meets a good man 3 months ago:
Oddly enough I once got hit by a car driven by John Goodman.
We lived in the same neighborhood while I was doing Norm and I never actually saw him but my lady neighbors wouldn’t stop yammering about living near John and his red Porsche Carrera. I don’t drive. I’m not afraid of cars or anything, I just don’t care for ‘em. I was walking to grab eggs before the grocery store closed one night – this was back before everything was open 24/7 – and I saw a red Carrera coming in the right lane but he had a red light and no turn signal on so I figured I could cross the street at the light no problem. Then I remembered that ol’ Pacha himself drove a red Porsche and I thought I should ask for an autograph when he stopped. My son was a huge fan and would have got a kick out of it. There was a problem though. John turned right and barely slowed down before his windshield broke my fall.
He got out and started apologizing and I couldn’t believe it was him. Living in the same neighborhood, working in the same circles, attending the same professional events, and I was to meet John after he nearly ran over me. When he got out of the car I was digging through my wallet for something he could sign for my son and he apologized and asked how much it would cost to keep the police out of the whole affair. I said I didn’t want any money, just a signed picture or something. He kind of looked at me weird and asked why I wanted his autograph and then it hit me: It wasn’t John. It didn’t even look like him. Not one day goes by that I don’t think about that old man and how much I want to punch him right in the fucking face.

Why do you bring up console players? What does that have to do with Steam?
Also, what’s the cutoff for the number of employees a company can have before it’s weird to stan for them? Because I’ve never liked Steam, and Valve was one of the first companies to promote lootboxes and literal gambling to children, but Epic is the devil for some reason?? Lol gtfo
