That’s why they were all surprised when Donald Trump won 2016. They didn’t understand that the 4chan president was using 21st century tactics that old fashioned politicians couldn’t compete with.

People got more polite. They wanted their reading to be more legible to others, even if it took a little bit longer.

That’s ridiculous. Those small children could be learning something useful like epistemology instead of wasting their time with selfish letters.

It’s selfishness. Your mother wants to save herself time by writing the quick way, and doesn’t care if it costs you more time.

Thank you for the kind words

Same, but even with all that BS, I got more kills in 6 minutes participating in that drama than I would have alone, since I was soloing 4 players’ worth of spawns. I’m happy to part fools from their spawns to get orokin cells they refuse to pick up, I just wish it didn’t come with misgendering. If the harassment weren’t part of the package deal I’d be doing that all day just to spite them, and they’d have twice as many orokin cells that they refuse to pick up.

Plus, that newbie was a good kid. They didn’t deserve to be lied to that Gabii totally has plastids. They ended up siding with those assholes, but only because they were manipulated. I don’t like the taste of leaving newbies to the kubrodons.

Do you think DE are going to punish me for that report?

Halo is unique. At a time when the military shooter genre was closed in terrestrial (or at best, mars) spaces, Halo presented natural environments filled with gorgeous alien architecture that presents an ancient mystery and a sense of wonder at the scale and the age of a place. Perfectly augmented by the monk-like vocalisations, Halo defies the conventions of military shooters by putting you in a beautiful place that you have to explore, and slowly come to understand.

Wow, that triggered my trauma really bad for a split second. I used to get told that all the time when I was a kid, just because I was curious and neurodivergent. Eventually I came to see that sentence as a symbol of the poor empathy of neurotypicals for autistic people, and of ableism in general. If you said that in my house to a member of my family you’d probably start a domestic incident, because every autistic person I know has a similar experience.

No, that’s a lie

Nah. Only 50F to 115f is usable. What kind of weird ass datapoints are those? I mean 10C to 45C are just as random, but at least it aligns with something practical. At least I understand that 200C is twice what it takes to boil water. I have no idea how hot 400F is supposed to be.

So you must think Judaism is even worse than Christianity, right?

The washer is het coded and the washee is queer coded because the point is that hets should be nice to queers.

I’m glad Playstation games are coming out on PC now. I bought a PS4 for the exclusives and the ones I bought it for were good, but I’m never gonna buy a PS5.

Funny thing about owning a console is that when Christmas and birthday come along, non gamer family and friends would rather get you a physical object than a steam key. But a physical object is sooooooo inconvenient. So I own the PS versions of RDR2 and AC Oddysey, and I’ve never finished them and probably never will. They’re good games, but it’s a bad platform. Bloody annoying.

Lego Island 2 was great

It’s a shame they fixed Cyberpunk.

Someone read Worm

The Romans didn’t need worry about diluting their culture. They freely integrated foreign myths into their pantheon as a way of assimilating foreigners. They believed their culture was strong, too, not just their economy. That it could survive anything.

When you oppose immigration from an economic standpoint, you’re saying “my country isn’t strong enough to hold all these refugees. I’m not going to share because I’m too weak.” You think the Roman Empire felt that way? No, they were conquering countries left and right and turning foreigners culturally and economically into Romans. Because they believed Rome was strong. Politicians who oppose immigration are weak people who believe their country is weak. They are not patriots. The politicians saying “come on in, we have plenty to share, we’re the best because we value and practice kindness”, they’re patriots.

Right, but what about the mimic plant? It mimicks whatever plant is near it. And it can mimic plastic plants. https://www.vox.com/down-to-earth/2022/11/30/23473062/plant-mimicry-boquila-trifoliolata
