Only racists and fascists voted for him after 2016
Not only. I know people who don’t fall into either of those groups. They were just gullible and stupid. Sure they were perhaps pressured by someone that falls into the first group (the bigots). Never underestimate peoples proclivity for stupidity.
So I’ve had multiple GF’s who were physically abusive, cheaters, chronic liars, gaslighters… so is there a version of this for me? Or are men never victims still?
So glad this didn’t exist like ~15 years ago. My one ex, who decided to start a relationship with her co-worker, while we were looking for and then financing a house… When I broke up with her (like 1 week after closing), while I was trying to process the betrayal, she took to Facebook and text messages spamming EVERYONE a fake story about me, trying to pass herself as the victim. Even including a fake pregnancy! All to make me look bad because I caught her cheating. Thankfully, this app didn’t exist, and several of my female friends reached out to me for my side of the story.
But all the “stories” on that app, 100% vetted, right? We get unbiased, both sides of the story, right… Evidence was required… right? Because imaging the harm someone could do if they were just petty, or scornful, of just bored. It’s not like women have ever made false rape claims… right…
I’m not trying to imply my situation is what all men go through… but you can’t just dismiss it, or other men, because it doesn’t fit into your social media-fueled narrative. Yes, some men suck (and that’s selling it short). But, women are just as capable of the same level of suck. We are all, after all, human.
Just for you next time I’m in Chicago, I’m going to order a pickle Chicago deep dish pizza
I promise everything on that menu is like $10 overpriced.
$13 for a hot dog. Hot dog better be code for a fat blunt for $13
Have you seen a popular streamer that does?
Yes. I think a lot of people would reference the MatPat apology.
Why would he? don’t think anyone would lie about that, since those aren’t “glamorous” jobs
That’s your personal bias. He lets people believe what they want. He used it for clout, and while you might not care about game development or cybersecurity, there are many who do. When he did security, he did social engineering. Which is just as valid, but if people are more impressed because they think he’s looking at source code and whatnot… he doesn’t correct them and leans into those stories. Since you kinda hipster-esque view of YouTubers… here’s a guy with less than 1000 subs talking about it, https://youtu.be/oKadi1zy8fQ and he didn’t really do that much at Blizzard either, not in game development either, but again, he doesn’t say what he actually did and has a lot of stories that don’t connect. That’s like if I said, “Yeah, I worked at the White House for 7 years” and just left it at that. But then it comes to light, I was the one mowing the grass, and that’s it. If I don’t specify what I did, nor correct people, and telling stories that I overhear that belong to someone else (and I don’t specify that) or talk about things that happen that I wasn’t involved with… then I’m lying by omission.
That guy rubs me the wrong way too (assuming you’re talking about Cr1TiKaL/penguinz0).
Not even close. https://www.youtube.com/@CodingJesus He’s a C++ developer who got his name because in some older photos of him people said he looked like Jesus. That’s the whole “lore”.
The WoW things is the most well known, be he had a similar behavior in another game, Ashes of Creation i think. Doesn’t take accountability for anything. Cannot say sorry.
There’s also stuff coming out here cheated on his former wife. And then was a massive manipulative dick towards the person that he was cheating on with.
Or that all his previous credentials are fabricated. Like he doesn’t like giving details what he’s actually done in previous jobs. He’ll just state that he works somewhere and then let you fill in the blank. Or passing off what someone else did at the job as his own.
In his own channel he purposely misrepresent the recent things about him. And coding Jesus actually put out a video showing that, when he tries to reach out immediately gets filtered and banned. But meanwhile Thor is telling people that all he had to do was try to reach out…
Back in the day, I had a girlfriend who burned a CD that was just this. The entire thing, just filled with this one song over and over. She’s sneaked into my apartment, put it into the CD player, Hit play, and left.
Thinking about it still brings a smile to my face.
Man, I hope it’s good. Scrubs is my favorite non-scifi show. I want to buy the whole thing on bluray/dvd but right now I can’t find the whole thing. Some people, when you say “Eagle,” think the bird. Some people think “USA”. I think about Turk and JD.
Oh snap! I didn’t know that! (Not a Christian)
There’s only 10 fucking commandments! How hard is it to remember 10 short items for a faith you claim to believe in.

It’s ok.
Your enjoyment is going to fall intob either you making your own fun and/or playing with people. Playing solo, it’s a big ghost town.
Combat is unvearied. The gameplay loop gets very repetitive very quickly.
Early game at least, the sandworm and dust storms provide an interesting looking threat for a while.
It’s not a bad game, but it’s a pvp centric game with minimal pve to justify the story of Dune.
To me it seems like it’s very much going to be a flash in a pan kind of game. It is going to live and die by rapid updates to add content. What is there if you know what you’re doing, you could experience the whole game in about a weekend.
You can use your own. But at every single point they’re going to tell you that your brand new top of the line modem, is out of date and is probably the problem of any issue that you’re having. They try so hard to gaslight customers in believing that you need to use their white labeled equipment. They want you to use their stuff and pay the fees so they can resell the Wi-Fi, and they have full control over your device.
Well, the refund policy has only existed 10 years now. Well in it’s current form. Previously refunds were much harder to get.
That is made by someone who had a Geocities website, or went 1000% in on MySpace back in the day.
In office, I’m a chatty bitch. I have a habit of maybe over-socializing. For sure, my productivity goes down in the office. Oh, and people listen to me just as much WFH as they did in the office when it comes to work stuff.
At home, I can just turn on some music and focus on what I need to get done. I can work on my 20+ jira points I have every god damn sprint. Meetings (ad-hoc or planned) already cause delays for me and I’m already working to much (the highest so far, has been a 16-hour day).
I don’t miss the ‘sense of community’ because there isn’t one. Plus, most of my co-workers live in different states, and many in different countries. There’s no in-person collaboration even if I’m in the office. It’s still everything done over chat/video call.
My company, like so many others, went back on everything they said about WFH. They used to say how great it was because they could find talent from anywhere instead of being arbitrarily constrained by location. Like, obviously, the best talent doesn’t just happen to live next to you. Then it moved to hybrid, for those all important in-person, face-to-face collabs and synergy and all the other bullshit LinkedIn BS you can spew. And now, they’re doing RTO full on and even shaming those who work from home or would want to. Full-on bully tactics in meetings too. Even started shaming the upper mgmt, because their excuse was “well, other companies are doing it” so I hit back with the “if other companies were committing fraud, would we?” a spin on the “well if everyone else was jumping off a bridge, would you” I grew up hearing all the time. I actually brought that up in a corporate meeting, they never responded, so I’m taking that as a yes… yes they would and will, so long as they figure they can get away with it (or the penalties don’t outweigh the profits).
And then I find out Tim Walz (Minnesota Governor) is also for RTO… so I emailed his office, letting him know just how utterly disappointed in him I was, and to not expect my vote ever again.
Sorry, I’ll get off my soapbox. I’m just truly passionate about this. WFH, I’m far less miserable on a day-to-day basis. Working in the office, I was in multiple car accidents going to and from work (none of which I caused). I’ve been in exactly 0 since WFH. No longer spending 1-2 hours a day just traveling, so I can work remotely, in an office. If I ever win the lotto, I’ll be rich enough I could run for president and one of my pillars would be pushing businesses to utilize WFH if the position can do that. Fewer cars on roads, means less congestion for those who have to be onsite. There should be a noticeable decrease in vehicle-related accidents and fatalities.
For the demo, I really liked it. I thought the writing was good as it set the atmosphere. Not to spoil anything, but the first guy you meet… it tells you a lot about things lol. HE BROKE SO MANY RULES! (iykyk) The dialog options seem like they could lead to something interesting down the road. Understanding the various characters and what they do seems like it could be an engaging loop while you level and modify their stats. After playing the demo, which is pretty short, I fully plan to pick this up when it’s released.
MCU != comics. That should be WELL established. I know they name-dropped 616 in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, but that was more like a poor writing choice in an attempt to be an easter egg.
Adding more resources to remove scarcity is dumb. You’re acting as if you have 1000 units of resources and 1000 people, but then half it to 1000 units of resources and 500 people, well, they’ll just bounce back. But having 2000 units of resources and 1000 people, well, that’ll auto balance, and they won’t grow to match resources. Or even worse, infinite resources, to ensure scarcity is removed. Iron is a resource. Iron is found inside living things, and it’s found in the sun and the core of the planets. Double iron… what happens? The complete genocide of everything. Though it’s true, scarcity would be removed because everything is dead. Pick any resources and if you follow it, I mean really think about it, you’ll find it’s not a “oh just” type of solution. And it ignores the logistics of the whole thing too, he was snapping his fingers once, not putting out a beat, just so he can handle multiple worlds/species/requirements for each. It wasn’t open mic night at the MCU.
His plan, which I want to remind you, is in a movie which none of it needs to make sense… because ya know, magic rocks… If a planet is struggling, due to pollution or overpopulation… now that’s been solved, and they could potentially plan around that for the future. Put policies in place and whatnot. Other planets, well, people are very superstitious. The number of ghost stories on tv or YouTube, or the fact that organized religion exists, proves that. For those folks, seeing “Hey we got up to like X number of people and then god got mad (since 99.99999…% of all living things in the MCU would have no idea what or why half got dusted), we shouldn’t do that again”. And in the MCU, we see various gods do exist, and they don’t give a shit what happens to the mortals (Thor Love and Thunder).
The Confederacy and its people were an enemy foreign state. It wasn’t like a little club the South had for a few years. They split from the USA. They were defectors, traitors, enemies of the USA.
Not surprised Donny would do this, though. He dismissed the insurrection on Jan 6th, which was a group of defectors, traitors, and enemies of the USA. He’s a 34-time felon, which means he has a history of being against the US, its citizens, and their interests.
If you can’t archive something, did it ever really exist?
