I haven’t seen either of these takes, and I’m on this platform like 4-6 hours a day at least. I think you have to look at the instances you’re on and the content you’re consuming. I know my instance, blahaj, doesn’t federate with some of the more insane instances, and I’ve personally blocked some of the few problematic ones left like .world.

Kinda wild how frequently it’s the same religion being used as a cudgel in SEA, SA, and Africa.

No, you’re too dumb if you think their discrimination stops at skin color.

If you let white supremacists fester for long enough, they’ll start attacking each other for being the wrong denomination of Christianity. People who know nothing but hate never stop.

I’ve got some bad news for you about the rich and powerful around the world.

brother, where are the pixels brother?

god I wish I could pull a badass like that

It was real wild to just kinda lose hunger, but it has done wonders for my dieting. It’s real easy to lose weight when stuff like shakes are the only way my body tells me I haven’t eaten.

The police in the U.S. are on Tim’s side. Hell, Tim might be a police officer.

The government will throw your family into a concentration camp either way. Will you acquiese and die like a dog, or will you stand and fight?

Not at all.

The idea of “ignorance is bliss” is kinda like relying on herd immunity. You have to hope that everyone else creates a society that is good and just. Otherwise, material conditions will constantly worsen, you’ll just be left unequipped with the tools to know why.

Such an existence sounds maddening to me, and considering how often ignorant people are turning to hate in the face of drastically declining material conditions, I feel confident thinking that it is maddening for them as well. If you at least know why everything is turning to shit, you can try to stop it.

just don’t use gamemode? If anything, I imagine gamemode would be a detriment to running things outside of Steam, which is the use-case OP is looking for.

If your worry is that a corporation will report you for piracy, than you have a false dichotomy. Both SteamOS and especially modern Windows are both corpo controlled platforms. You’d be far better off running something like Bazzite off the handheld if the goal is to get away from closed-source systems. You also wouldn’t have to run things through Steam to get non-steam games working, there’s other options that would still allow you to use Proton as your compatibility layer.

It’s basically only proprietary garbage tho.

I’m fine with this logic, but it also has to extend logically to the United States no longer being a democracy, and it’s arguable that a number of EU states would also qualify.

The thing is, there’s a lot of RPG players who want to see number go up, and enjoy getting into the weeds on how number go up. The San Andreas system is great for a super grounded real-world crime game where the real focus is on the story, but for a sci-fi/fantasy numbers-focused RPG people want the dopamine hit of a new skill point.

I know people don’t care for Moffat-era Who, and for good reason, but gd Capaldi had some real bangers. The whole speech is incredible.

Okay but seriously, why are there old trenches on Tau? I can buy that the Orokin, constant assholes that they were, came to Tau along the solar rails to kill the Sentients they created and claim their new solar system. That contradicts a lot of the old lore, but makes some logical sense. They presumably have the Tenno at this point though, and they have the Infestation; why would their tactics involve trench warfare? They could virus bomb a site from orbit and then send Tenno in to annihilate anything that still moved. Trench warfare isn’t really efficient, there’s a reason we don’t really see it anymore, and the Orokin have tech far, far beyond what we have today.

Also if this update doesn’t let us finally see The Sounding of the Naga Drums I will be very sad.

The real fun is having to pay extra on an application because you have a pet, then getting to pay an additional pet rent monthly. Also it’s sometimes per pet, literally trying to treat them like bonus tenants.

This really isn’t a joke. A surprising amount of my job is research and investigations, and a lot of my office excels at it because we are all incredibly nosy bitches.

I mean…yeah?

Like, I’ve gotten my fingers caught in the socket a few times, it’s certainly not comfortable but it never felt life-threatening. It’s less intense than touching an electric fence, but more intense than lickin a 9v. I’d never be afraid of it.
