  Badly written to get people to stop. Like “Graj sale”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The woman in the center of this pic is Dead⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Tuberculosis, cholera, scarlet fever, or dying from childbirth were all pretty common.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Remembering Descent, the once-popular, fully 3D 6DOF shooter⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Already bought it. It’s the Descent IV we never got 20 years ago. Dang, been a while since I thought of the dev drama surrounding these games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Remembering Descent, the once-popular, fully 3D 6DOF shooter⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The resemblance is immediately obvious. Didn’t know this existed. Thanks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Remembering Descent, the once-popular, fully 3D 6DOF shooter⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Played the hell out of 1, 2, and 3, along with Freespace. Planetdescent was my home for years. Shakerheads unite!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨mentoring⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  We all need Gary.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Pilot had to dive aggressively to avoid midair collision over Burbank airport."⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Put your fking seatbelts on. All the time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When will we have reached enough productivity?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Never. The line must keep moving upwards. If it doesn’t come from productivity it comes from enshittification, layoffs, offshoring, etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨crypto investment⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Hold it. Crypto is senseless. It’ll climb again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I feel like it was on purpose⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The US is in decline. Hastened by Republican ideology, accelerationists, and general willful stupidity and ignorance to varying degrees across the board. The “economy” revolves more and more around the stock market which only serves to enrich the already well off and wealthy while the rest of the ~90% flounder.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨See their point⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Nope. Once on a while I might listen to it out of nostalgia’s sake. Otherwise it’s churning through a bunch of garbage on spotify trying to find something decent. My other half otoh is constantly listening to our high school year’s music. It’s all the same, it’s the same top songs from the charts from the same top bands, over and over… It’s boring AF.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Drinks shouldn’t be chewed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I like coconut water that bits of coconut in it. I do not like boba tea.

  Texture preferences and dislikes are really weird differences between ASD peeps.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Coldplay actually sounds⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Meh. There’s by far more mediocre bands with some fame than Coldplay. At least Coldplay isn’t one of the “hype” entertainers like Bieber that need constant press coverage to stay relevant or a band that will play anything and have no real sound of their own like OneRepublic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would you rather unionize or buy some videogames?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That does suck, and I have never been with a union where that isn’t a possibility. That’s one of the downsides whether or not they’re management’s tools. Top leadership tends to take care of itself first.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would you rather unionize or buy some videogames?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  My union dues are 1.5%.

  But, my union:

  Makes sure I don’t have to take my work home with me.

  Says when it’s ok to be contacted by work at home.

  Got us a nice pay raise that more than covers any dues.

  Makes sure any training events are monitored, correctly administered and can’t be used to get rid of employees.

  Provides additional insurance that make up for shortfalls in employer coverage - particularly disability.

  Substance abuse and mental health help so that you can get help and not lose your job.

  And plenty more.

  All of it worth more to the entire group than any pain from the dues I pay. Love being in a union shop, worth it even with the few downsides.

  FTR, I have seen Eddie/Suzy at multiple shows, and s/he has said that “Eddie” is fine, but prefers Suzy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In the cave⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You could do the same thing with a painting and a dim light. Just wouldn’t move. Assuming there are ”fake window” screen saver things for projectors.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨W.XP⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  True, but it booted Win 7 next, so it’s not like I was leaving windows.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Personal Responsibility⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s still not the kid’s fault if they were brought up to tolerate and play emotional games against family members.

  Having kids myself and listening to them describe their fellow students’ situations at home, or even how we observe acquaintance’s kids act and how it mirrors parental behaviors, you can bet your ass that they learn from how their parents are acting and what they’re allowed to get away with.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Emma Watson banned from driving for speeding⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Interesting the cultural difference here. People arguing in favor of, or at least the reasonableness of, the law and its application. Americans regularly speed, 20+ mph over the limit is not uncommon. People would lose their shit over a driving ban in the US, and probably keep driving anyway. DUI repeat offenders and suspended license drivers are pretty common.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam is cracking down on porn games, to keep Payment Processors happy.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What are these games? Steam is littered with these and waifu porno stuff… Not kink shaming here but what’s the attraction?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thanks I hate it⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol, dude’s trying not to vomit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bill Burr Says Stop Blaming Immigrants, Blame Billionaires | SubwayTakes Uncut [13:16]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because Bill says enough crap that aligns with right wing views that they skip the rest.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It’s the little things⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So you’re saying my floor needs to be water?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Deserved? Poll inside⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  context for those not seeing it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good morning to sovcit vanifestos, and only sovcit vanifestos.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d bet local LEO are familiar with this guy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Every time⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Alabama was proof of how shitty things have to get before people start taking action.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨coping⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Right? Not everything has to be the worst of 4chan, Ogrish, or Xitter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pop it in your calendars⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The biggest crime in AAA games is the tools paying top dollar for preorders and early access to games that have beta-level problems with gameplay.

  Wait three or more months, they almost always go on sale and have had a patch or two. More playable, save $.

  They all have a martyr complex. So yeah, they’ll believe him.
