Ok, but only if I get to make the next post that complains about people complaining about people who complain about Reddit. Or…something.

*Donaghy, and at least Jack had Liz to act as a moral compass/course correction. David is just another asshat CEO with no moral or ethical scruples.
I know Reddit would have a field day if I said this over there, and maybe here would too, but…
Should be more like “Fascists go kill yourselves” because fuck fascists.
It’s weird to think about but for some reason that’s my favorite go-to exclamation when I’m genuinely shocked at something.
“What in the Cinnamon Toast Crunch is that?!”
I posted a similar comment elsewhere but along the same line of thought: The sad thing is that the masses that are still on Reddit at this point dgaf and will likely stay on Reddit forever. There’s a real problem of Apathy in today’s culture when people are just jonesing for their fix of daily content/memes, or at the very least nothing that disrupts the status quo. They don’t give a fuck about “ideals” or what corporations do or farm from them so long as their instant gratification and daily intake of said content remains unchanged.
Not really sure why this is a question. If I have a cup of coffee, I am fine to get behind the wheel of a vehicle. If anything, my reaction time would be slightly quicker (vs me uncaffeinated, YMMV).
If I get high, I’m keeping my ass put on the couch/at home and if anything my reaction time is slower.
Good news to everyone! We’ve wanted an alternative to YouTube for a long time. Now it looks like Google that next big step in forcing alternative platforms to rise in it’s place. I’m an avid user of YouTube, but not a snowball’s chance in hell will I buy Premium when they are trying to shove it down my throat like that. That’s a very good way to get people to NOT buy something but for some reason companies don’t seem to understand.
Gabe Newell said it best: “We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem.” - Piracy was down and streaming subscriptions were up when Netflix first came about due to the ease/convenience of it, but piracy is seeing a return due to the mishandling and misconception of companies about how to gain profit through improved services vs increased pricing/poor performance.
The reason I bring this up is because YouTube, like many companies, thinks they’re “solving” the issue of adblocking by force-feeding this kind of bullshit to the masses, but all they’re doing is forcing more people to turn to alternatives instead.

I suppose it depends on what a person considers a hidden gem because everyone’s tastes are different. I’ll list a few categories and at least 1-2 of my favorites in those categories that I’ve found on Steam and are currently on sale:
Exploration/Base-Building:
Story based/Farming/Romance:
Visual Novels:
*Note that MTAP has been fraught with issues. Although these issues don’t necessarily make the game unplayable, and it’s still enjoyable, be aware that it is was Pathea’s (the studio) first such attempt and as such they were still learning. Their second game Sandrock has solved a lot of the issues and it’s not necessary to play the first one

NTA. For one thing, if she left “suddenly” with no explanation, your kids are old enough to see right through that. Telling them “things broke down” wouldn’t explain why it would have been a very swift exit on her part unless something crazy happened. Second, allowing her to tell them herself was the smart thing to do because not only does it allow her to be the one to break it to them (and take responsibility), but it can’t be said then that you were trying to pit them against her or anything by telling lies because the truth came straight from the horse’s mouth. If she wishes that you hadn’t made her tell them, then it’s only because of sheer guilt that she has decided to try and project onto you as a form of defense. If she can’t understand that her actions have consequences for others around her and not just herself (by saying that it’s none of their business), then she probably wasn’t a very fit person to be parenting them anyway. Parents are people, too. They can make mistakes. But not owning up to those mistakes or being able to have the empathy needed to see how it impacts others is not something you want to pass down to your children.
And a hotdog is a taco.
…actually that one kind of makes sense.
I literally just had a friend tell me he joined Threads and how neat it was, etc etc and when I explained why I wouldn’t be joining him, he basically just gave me the old “Well I already know they have all my information so it doesn’t matter”
…like wtf? So you just…give up having any privacy whatsoever? I just couldn’t respond to him after that, I don’t really know how to respond to that. There’s a disease spreading in the world unfortunately and it isn’t just COVID. It’s one called Apathy and too many people are coming down with it.
