It builds character! Lol but, yeah phasmo is too intense for many of my adult friends, even.
Out of curiosity, do you generally know what he was doing on Roblox? I’ve heard of several horror games being remade within Roblox, such as Iron Lung. I’ve wondered what the limitations are. I definitely remember stumbling into some intense things when I was around that age, but the landscape is so different now
The facts? What are you referring to? I am simply asking a question about percentages. Are you imagining that my question was somehow related to an earlier post?
I’m glad we are both in complete agreement that it is definitely impossible for any meaning to be conveyed other than a literal interpretation of the exact words being used.
Your contribution to this discussion has been very valuable and I’m sure everyone is looking forward to hearing more from you
Oh no for sure lmao. When I first started playing I would literally just exit the game if I heard a floorboard creak
But it gets sooooo good the more you play, especially on the higher difficulties where ghosts suppress some of their official “evidence” types and you have to rely on your knowledge of each ghost’s unique traits. Genuinely of the most rewarding detective style experiences I’ve ever played
Whats the point of writing prn, f@ck, sht or anything like that instead of the actual words? You can still read them, its not like they are gone if you replace a letter or two.
Correct, OP does not engage with any form of technology that facilitates crime.
Thank god for OP’s grandchildren, who run his accounts by occasionally asking his opinions and posting them without his knowledge, thereby allowing us these glimpses into his perfectly moral mind
Close! It’s a literal equivalence, which is why your take is so bad.
Oh but since we’re talking fallacies, refresh my memory, which is the one where you call everyone who disagrees with you a pedophile? It’s on the tip of my tongue…an abdominal attack or something right?
I’ve noticed a common trend among people with laughably bad opinions, which is that they are also incapable of presenting coherent arguments to defend their point of view when called out. Do you care to comment on this phenomena?
I quit smoking via vaping a few years ago. Idk how easy it is now, I know some laws have been passed regarding the availability of different juices.
But essentially it just gives you more control. You can gradually step down your nicotine content over the course of like a year or more if you want. At the end I had a bottle of 3mg/ml and a bottle of 0, and I would mix them to get even smaller amounts. Eventually you’re just not using nicotine anymore.
For some people tho it goes the other way. Lots of times it ends up being the case that nicotine consumption goes way up, or people end up vaping + still smoking anyway. Which is…pretty bad lol
So yeah vaping can be a very convenient way to quit. It worked for me. But there’s a reason doctors don’t recommend it
Reading other articles it seems like no, he was generally very positive and encouraging to others online. The impression I get (from 10 minutes of reading, not saying this conclusively) is that he was not overtly hostile whatsoever to trans people.
There are enormous social pressures in small conservative towns, and the man was 63. I can imagine life leading someone otherwise pro-trans into being a republican preacher in that environment. An awful tragedy
Coffee I like when I’m sitting at a desk doing busywork for a long time. Tea I like for many reasons, it has more vitamins and minerals than coffee, more flavor diversity, and anti inflammatory properties.
Caffeine pills I take in the morning if I just want to get moving quickly, and I also use them as a pre-workout instead of those expensive powders.
I could just use (and have just used) pills instead of coffee, and it works just fine. However, they literally just hit different. The pills are all at once and then it wears off slowly, coffee lets you ramp up at any speed and maintain at any level. It’s mostly just preference, but being able to spread out the same amount of caffeine is very handy. I would be interested in slow-release caffeine pills, although I imagine these would be very dangerous for some people.

They believe it in part because transphobia is itself inherently irrational. They already carry around the hatred for no reason, so it’s not like they’re suddenly going to have standards before they believe whatever story they hear that caters to their outrage

Youtube let the other shoe drop in their end-stage enshittification this week. Last month, they required you to turn on Youtube History to view the feed of youtube videos recommendations. That seems reasonable, so I did it. But I delete my history every 1 week instead of every 3 months. So they don’t get much from my choices....
If you aren’t willing to eat ads, and you aren’t willing to be the product, and you aren’t willing to pay a subscription, then why do you think you’re entitled to content?
You’re overthinking things. I click one button once and I never see ads, for years at a time without needing to tweak it at all. This is also completely free to set up and completely legal.
The fact of the matter is that this technology exists, and they can do nothing to stop it. Despite this, they continue to rely on the ad supported model. Curious, no?
then why would they want to spend money serving you for free?
Because if I post a link to a video and as a result someone sees an ad —or better, signs up for premium—then boom, they just made a profit. There is of course a critical threshold of adblockers where this no longer works but we’re not near it yet so they won’t change their revenue model.
Note: I am not taking a moral high ground here, just pointing out how it works. Yes, you are subsidizing me, thanks for that.
Yea, sadly. You can open the app to hear some music and get a link to the merch store. It also unlocks an extra in the developer’s other app, pixel pals. But no browsing
Cis people generally don’t experience the desire to transition when they experience attraction
Or me being unhappy with the role men have in this world? Or me being depressed otherwise?
This can still be true if you are trans. It sounds to me like the best possible thing would be for you to connect with a therapist, preferably one with experience in gender affirming care. That would go a long way towards untangling the mess, although I know it isn’t accessible to everyone depending on your situation.
I had a post that just seemed to evaporate. Do mods just delete posts at will? Is there a notice sent typically? Post wasn’t anything remotely controversial. Is this something that happens on Lemmy? Say what you will about reddit, but at least there were notices when something was taken down.
The weapons breaking and stuff is whatever, eventually you just tune it out. They shower you with new stuff constantly, so the idea is to use a little of everything. No comment on whether that’s a good or bad thing, it’s probably the most divisive part of the game. Just is what it is.
You do get permanent loot in the form of clothing (which can have interesting special properties) and powers and such

So. Instead of inserting layers of metaphors and renaming a gun ban to “making murder double illegal”, what if we just called it what it is, “making gun ownership illegal”
You are taking it for granted that it will always definitely be okay to own a gun as long as you don’t commit a crime with it. What we are discussing currently is whether ownership should be a crime in and of itself. On the most fundamental level, do you think a law directly targeting gun ownership could possibly have any effect?
And before this turns into a whole thing, it may come as a shock for you to learn that I do not personally support such a ban. The article you listed says in quite plain language that higher wages and better opportunity is what decrease crime, after all. The only thing I take issue with right now is the ludicrous assertion that the law has no effect on “criminals” because they will simply break the law.
I can guarantee you a gun ban would reduce the number of guns, and the strategy of trying to gaslight people into believing it wouldn’t is fundamentally ineffective. If you support ownership then you should want to nip these arguments in the bud as well, as they’re only going to backfire
Oh, lol yeah I was talking about tallwookie’s “criminals are not known for caring about the law” slant.
New Mexico situation is wild. Unilaterally banning guns in response to a shooting is not a good move, especially when your Sheriff is publicly vowing not to enforce it
