Everything you claim to do here can be done safely, which I condone and have done myself. The way you go about it, you’ve chosen to be a serious danger to others for absolutely no good reason, while lying to yourself that it’s okay because you’re doing them a favor.

Go to hell.

I told you I don’t care what you do with your own mind and body.

But if you don’t care that you’re putting other people in danger of serious harm, then you’re a horrible person.

Do with your own life whatever you want, but don’t give dangerous advice to people who may trust you and don’t know better.

If you’re all about fun, guess what, even just a bad trip ruins that too.

Yeah that’s fun. But I bet you had people to tell you what to expect and how to be reasonably safe.

“Try all drugs” will get people to try Heroin or Fentanyl and fuck themselves up for life in an evening. Don’t do that. We have a responsibility towards each other, especially towards newbies.

The distinction may seem like nitpicking but no, CSAM is a legally defined term of depictions of actual children being sexually abused.

This game does not feature any such content. Not just because there are no depictions of real children, but also because the fictional children depicted aren’t subjected to sexual abuse.

Valve’s language cites “sexual conduct” which in this case reportedly (I didn’t watch it myself) has been stretched to include nudity that is non-sexual in nature.

I get why Valve would err on the side of caution, but that TOS decision is no basis to turn around and make the legally relevant claim that the game features actual CSAM.

We all know what that’s code for. I have never been to the US in my life, and yet as a white European I’d be accosted much less than tens of millions of US citizens.

If only he was closer to his predecessors in other ways too.

FYI there’s scripts that will fully activate windows, not via any local modifications to the OS, but via the official Microsoft activation servers.

I’m already looking for USB-powered devices for stuff like electric razors and flashlights. Check out Wurkkos for example.

With toothbrushes the problem is seemingly the duopoly. If there is a good USB-chargeable alternative to Oral-B, please let me know.

That’s a new sentiment. Most games try to occupy as much of their players’ time as possible.

Did you maybe start with online dating? That’s where the transactional thing really is omnipresent and it sucks.

I think this is a joke about the first copper-tier sponsor.

Which would that be?

Does it perhaps have the “remote control session” feature that Spotify has when logged in on multiple devices? I’ve ditched Spotify but am still looking for a platform with this feature.

Yes but that’s the reason why adding ice is the standard, if not policy.

Adding ice is just filling your cup with 60% water. Filling the same cup with the same drink and no ice would be less profitable because you’d wait longer to order another.

The joke can also be read as the pointe being the stupidity of the second person for exactly the reason you gave.

It’s not. Roundabouts work better than intersections.

The whole game can even be read as propaganda against car-centric traffic management, because road planning just becomes a nightmare at some point that incentivizes you heavily to diversify into public transportation and even walkable city blocks.

Home Office can also really suck if you don’t have a dedicated workspace at home. Spending 10-12 hours at the same place with no reason to leave the home for days can really fuck with your emotional state.

the bigger issue is that generally people think men are evil by default, and women are good by default. and that’s not a cultural assumption most folks are willing to look past.

I consider myself a feminist and I vehemently disagree with that take, nor does it reflect in any way the commonly held views in the relevant communities.

Women and men are people. All people hold the capacity for good and evil within them. The real differences are 1) our respective socialization, and 2) the way we are perceived and treated by society based on our gender. That’s not an individual issue, but a systemic one.

I’ve been part of a few support groups for men that regularly received appreciation from women specifically because they were aimed at helping men in recognition of this fact, and thus didn’t revolve into inceldom and gender war nonsense.
