Outer worlds just felt so uninteresting to me. I played it, and it was a forgettable experience imo

Well, that doesn’t matter for blåhaj, which disables downvotes, at least

That’s the thing, it’s not an established console line

And also, half of Wii U sales is fucking massive. Yes the Wii U was considered a failure, but it was still well known

Frankly at this point self-diagnosis shouldn’t be as demonized as it is. Because getting a diagnosis is, 1. Expensive, 2. Involved as all hell sometimes, 3. Not all professionals being great, and 4. In certain countries cough the US cough, it gets you literally put on a list

I say this as someone who is diagnosed. Just preface any statements you make with you not being professionally diagnosed and that you think you might likely have it and such, and you should be fine. Ultimately the point of the diagnosis is to help you. If you feel like the autistic framework is useful to understanding yourself, use it.

As a rule of thumb, there typically are very few people clamoring for volunteer leader positions. It’s a constant problem you see even in irl non-profit organizations, unless they’re fairly big/famous

It just turns out that, it’s actually just a lot of responsibility and work. Most people realize this, and don’t have the capacity to do the work, so often there even are no candidates for the leader positions… until someone reluctantly steps up because otherwise the organization would die

At least, that’s my experience in the real life organizations and clubs I’ve volunteered in

Britain was also broke after WW2, and couldn’t really afford, nor did they want to, keeping India

So in a way India’s freedom was fought and won violently, it just wasn’t mainly India’s violence

You need to rebuild roads to maintain them every couple decades anyway. That cost is already baked in, it just depends what you so with it

That’s a big assumption about who I am, what I do, and my abilities, isn’t it?

You don’t know everything, and your experiences aren’t universal, you know

There have definitively been multiple times windows systems bricked themselves on me without it being my fault

It’s not rarer than Linux systems bricking in my experience. In addition, Linux systems tend to be a lot more fixable, but with windows being just a black box sometimes you’re just shit out of luck and have to reinstall

That’s mostly what I was referring to in my latter paragraph, yes

But the important takeaway is that it’s not the core of what pornography is

seeing violence is probably worse than seeing sex

Yes, I mean, one is (ideally) about two (or more) people enjoying time they have together in an intimate way, the other is about hurting one another maliciously. I certainly prefer one of these things to be more prominent than the other

There is a discussion to be had about stuff like objectification and porn that doesn’t depict people like, consenting, and such, but at least in an ideal I’d much rather have media that focuses on pleasure and love than hate and suffering

“you keep messing with that thing and it’ll fall off and you’ll turn into a girl”

On one hand, fucking horrible thing to say on a child

On the other… probably would not have the effect they would intend on a certin chunk of the population lmao

Image so old it got moldy

So much for “capitalism better because material wealth communism one toothbrush” etc etc…

Funny how things turned out

Fascism never lasts. It’s a self-destructive ideology that will start eating itself more and more over time. They will never win

The big issue of course, is about all the damage that’s going to be done in the meantime. That’s what I hope won’t be too extreme

But if history is still a thing in the future, you can be certain that this moment in time will be judged very harshly

What do you mean ruined?

Who cares at this point, they’re doing evil, treat it as such

Wayland is the new protocol and will be the one that everything uses in the long run

If Wayland works for you, then that’s great, don’t use X11

The main reason you’d want to use X11 these days is for compatibility. But that’s getting less and less of a concern as time goes on

And then… What is that money going to get used for, exactly?

That’s the fucked up part in all of this. A government is much closer to something like a non-profit than it is to a business. Because, like, when you’re a government and have a monetary surplus, what do you do with it? Of course you just wanna spend it!

I know the actual answer is “to give to the billionaires because apparently having enough money for 2000 uber-wealthy lifetimes is not enough” but you know
