perspective is hard

haha, jokes on you, it’s not that I don’t eat because I have depression! I don’t eat because I have unresolved digestive tract issues that cause my stomach to only produce pain signals, and the stress and discomfort that causes me has made me depressed!

I mean, I think it’s fine as a gimmick for wealthy gamers, and it’s been at that level for awhile.

As the future of gaming though? yeah, never gonna happen. M+KB is the best controlling scheme for tons of the genres I play, and controllers are great for a bunch of others. There’s actually not that many genres that are improved by full body motion tracking, they’re pretty much all first-person games, and they often turn a relaxing gaming session into a workout. It’s not that the technology isn’t there, it’s that the concept it’s fundamentally flawed.

I think more research is still needed, anyone wanna help with my study?

Your real dad is the father who raised you. Don’t discriminate against step-parents.

The issue is that anyone with a functioning prefrontal cortex has known he’s a pedophile since at least 2016, when it was released that he would regularly walk into the changing rooms at the child beauty pageants he would sponsor.

This whole controversy has really just been about desperately hoping the MAGA crowd would accept a single fact in their life if maybe it didn’t come from mainstream media. The issue that I see is that the right-wing propaganda machine has completely given up on getting the Epstein files released. They’re not gonna cover it, they’ll call it a fake news attack by the Democrats, and that’s the last thought the MAGA crowd will have on it. There was a very brief moment where they did care earlier this year, but Trump and specifically Mike Johnson have successfully delayed long enough.

the other issue is even if somehow it did break through and galvanized the MAGA base against Trump… so what? Trump has already made it abundantly clear he doesn’t give a fuck about his base, the law, rules and norms, or really anything beyond consolidating his power and acting like a king. Would that base actually go so far as to vote Democrat in the midterm elections a year from now? Would they vote Democrat in 2028, assuming we even have free and fair elections by then? would they even still remember? at the end of the day, I think they hate the mythical idea of “The Left” that they’ve been sold too much to ever actually fight alongside us, so hoping the J6 crowd would try to actually save democracy this time is absurd.

I wonder what ever happened with the rat hole. Last I heard, Roscoe Village was gonna sell it to some bar, but I don’t think it’s actually being displayed anywhere.

I think the only parts I’d really categorize as a disaster kinda need a third movie to explain. I really don’t like how Denis changed Paul and Chani’s relationship, but maybe it’ll get paid off in a satisfying way in part three.

Or it’ll just continue being extremely out of character teen angst for contrived plot reasons, idk

It’s not porn but it gets surprisingly close a few times.

Did not really expect a gripping story about horny teens having to come to terms with puberty in my “Japanese clearly misunderstanding an American cultural artifact” manga.

no, that was The Predator.

Prey was a Predator turning up in colonial America and getting taken down by a Comanche hunter.

I dunno who needs to hear this, but minimum wage workers do not care about you. They don’t have the time or energy to judge you over silly stuff. If you make a minor faux pas, they might chuckle about it for a couple seconds at most, and then they have to get back to work.

In my experience working a few different fast food jobs, the only customers I still remember are the ones who were incredibly rude assholes or straight up threatened my life. If someone was generally friendly and came in like 10-12 times a month, I would maybe remember their name. Typically though, the only thing that was on my mind was making it through my shift, and trying to figure out what food I could steal so I could eat dinner that night.

I haven’t quite hit thirty yet, but my friend has. She’s taken up boxing, which might seem counterintuitive, but building up your strength is a great way to avoid having a weak core and knees. It also means she does regular stretching.

he voted no while being the architect of the betrayal. IMO, that makes him even more of a piece of shit, because he did so in a way to make himself not look awful.

if a helicopter was actually that close to the road, would you be able to feel it with your car? how far does the force from the propellers travel?

okay but that’s a big sandwich right? I’m not going crazy?

I know it would get a lil cold, but I still feel like you should bang before eating the pizza.

Maybe keep it in a low oven?

You’ve basically reinvented torrenting, but the first step of that is you need to save local copies of that art to your machine. Once you have it, peer to peer sharing will be the only vector for distributing it.

The U.S. balkanizing is what I expect to occur sometime in the next few decades. Divisions have just grown so strongly that there already are functionally a few different Americas, even if we’re still bound together for now.

In terms of the current shutdown though, I suspect it will last through Thanksgiving, and we will see the mother of all air traffic catastrophes. Multiple high profile crashes, tons of airports fully shutdown, lots of airspace shutdown, all amidst one of the busiest travel times of the year. Afterwards, there will be enough pressure to get the Reps to agree to a clean continuing resolution, which will fund the govt through January, and then we’ll do the whole song and dance again.

hey I call bullshit I played tons of Magic in many tournaments and nobody ever stuck their tongue in my mouth :(

can’t believe I can’t even avoid advertisements in fucking card games now
