I’m sorry the hwhat?!

I know that a nuke would literally create a hell on earth but there’s no way you can name the fucking thing Satan and not be the bad guy.

Can just give it a simple code. We don’t need fun names for this stuff.

Rockstar Games DDoSed Heavily By Players Protesting New AntiCheat Code (cyberinsider.com)

Rockstar Games’ servers have been under heavy fire from massive DDoS attacks in recent days, causing widespread login and connectivity issues for players of GTA Online. These attacks come in the wake of Rockstar’s recent implementation of BattlEye, a new anti-cheat system designed to crack down on in-game cheating, sparking...

Gamers and still buying the same old tired shit while bitching about it, name a more…

You’re absolutely right. The number of great games to play is absurd and the access to them has never been better but for some reason most people just play mediocre games that should have been put out to pasture years ago.

That’s the thing, in a lot of cases you’d simply go without whether you wanted to or not. They use “savings” to illustrate how much it would have cost to buy all those books on their own, that’s it. They clearly wanted to read those books but they wouldn’t be able to afford them without a library. If they had the money to spend on them I’m sure they would have but they didn’t and that’s literally the whole point.

Not being able to afford something and not wanting that something are different and calling this “savings” is fine and makes complete sense.

Example: I’ve seen 1085 episodes of One Piece. Without Crunchyroll(and it’s low fees, compared to buying box sets I’d never rewatch) I’d never have been able to see all that content. I would have wanted to, but I couldn’t.

Or to mirror your own words more: Before Crunchyroll I never would have seen it as without the service to offer these savings I’d be shit out of luck.

Ah see you said “pregnancy” which one o’ them woman things and see we just don’t got the time and energy to be spending on that stuff. /s

Soup ,

Pff, nonsense, if that were real then we would have heard of it by now!

Soup ,

That doesn’t count when the known is telling everyone how evil it is and the unknown is only unknown because everyone plugs the ears and closes their eyes whenever any kind of new information presents itself. Then the saying just falls flat on its face.

Soup ,

C’mon, bro, be better than that.

That sometimes works, but sometimes the right way is not immediately comfortable so people so stuff that seems right and hurt themselves. Sometimes the thing that seemed correct initially was only because of a lack of deeper understanding and an ignorance of the knowledge of those who have already made the mistakes.

I dance, play instruments, drive cars, and do a whole lot of other things where the immediately comfortable thing is so often one of the best ways to develop a massively limiting habit that is a huge pain to get away from once you realize how badly it’s holding you back.

It’s a case-by-case basis, of course, but simply “the best is what you’re most comfortable with” does not have near the nuance it needs to not be abused. It is great advice for people once they have built up a strong base of knowledge, and until then they need to get over it and try things.

Actually not wearing gloves and washing your hands regularly is, I believe, generally bettee for sanitation. There’s a lot of false confidence and shit with gloves, and they cost money and are technically a limited resource. You should always have them on hand, especially for if you get cut and need to wear a bandaid, but washing your hands as needed is totally fine.

And as it relates to this conversation they have a point in that gloves fucking suck to wear. They’re weirdly sticky and also even tight ones are like wearing loose skin and it just kinda sucks. Again, super great to have around and they can be awesome for some tasks where you just do not want to have to do anything more than removing the glove and rinsing, but the point stands.

Soup ,

You literally brought it up. I even explained how the other person was not talking about sanitation so that it was clear that it was you who did so. I understood them the first time just fine.

You’re being, like, turbo-stupid right now. Cut it out.

Soup ,

Look I know these threads are wack when we get to deep and memory fails even the best of us, it’s fine.

  1. Fiivemacs asked about why no gloves.
  2. You said they needed the fine motor skills
  3. Fiivemacs agreed with you, citing the kitchen thing(and by extention how they hamper fine motor skills.
  4. You made it about sanitation, didn’t want to be corrected, and then asked why we were all talking about sanitation.

That’s all there is to it.

Soup ,

You not understanding Fiivemacs point and visciously ignoring my entire explanation on it is really just telling me you’re far too up your own ass for any kind of reasonable conversation.

I’m spoon-feeding this to you and you’re still not getting it. Credit goes elsewhere but “we seem to have reached the limit of your comprehension”.

Soup ,

“Man loses his argument and throws a tantrum, more at a 11”

skips around

Complain all you want, I’m completely right. I gave a good explanation both addressing the fine motorskills thing that everyone else was actually talking about and I even took time out to validate your concern about sanitation by explaining that gloves actually don’t help all that much in many situations.

You were the first person to bring up sanitation based on a misunderstanding of the other person’s comment and then ignored every effort to rectify that mistake in order to be mad about it.

Look, you’re in pretty deep now and I don’t expect you to suddenly turn around and go “oh, my bad.” That’s fine, I get it, just put an effort into avoiding it in the future and we’re all chill.

Something about god’s holding out to see if Trump wins because he’s not sure wait hold on…

Weird conservatives have never been know to understand things like “longterm effects” or “treating what they have with any respect”.

They like buying trucks, guns, and knives. They like showing those things off. Like the “rustic charm” in the memes that are really just about how anti-social they are. They like wearing red and black flannel, camo hats, and acting like they could totally live off the land just because their entire idea of nature is about who’s more violent.

The people who can name the birds and trees, who gather responsibly, and just like to go for a nice canoe aren’t usually too conservative. Obviously it happens but that requires a level effort and stewardship for the land that’s often incompatible with the personality required to grasp onto conservatism.

If you’re gunna simp for something you could at least have the self-respect to choose a thing that isn’t openly unstable dogshit.

“Wah wah I’m a victim look they’re going to attack me any second now!”

I hope you figure out whatever’s destroying your sense of self-worth and causing you to attack margainalisized communities to protect what’s left of your ego. That’s both a dig and a genuine dose of sympathy.

Soup ,

No?

Yes, sometimes it’s better to just leave the shitty person to be shitty but not calling people out also validates their shitty opinions. I’m glad you’re in a place of privilege to just ignore it but maybe practice your own fuckin’ augenmaß and butt out if you don’t have anything constructive to say.

Soup ,

Sure thing, bud.

Just someone trying to “get ahead of the people who will complain that it’s not politically correct”. Like, no one is complaining but they’re already mad for…some reason.

If he’s already been convicted, what’s the hold up? Like I’m sure yea there’s something we don’t know but normally I get the waiting for them wanting to build a strong body of evidence during the trial, not after a conviction.

Right, that’s it folks, a perfect argument to not care or hold anyone accountable ever.

I’ve just started with smoothies. Some greek yogurt(has loads of protein), frozen vegetables, honey, and water(to make it a drink) and it’s already goin’ pretty well.

I agree, it’s awful to deal with.

Soup ,

Well it’s good thing that not a single source I could find seems to agree with you or maybe I’d worry! The hell do you think chewing is?

Blending a smoothie is perfectly fine and does not hurt the nutrients at all.

Soup ,

I’ve heard of this homemade yogurt thing. I may have to give it a go depending on how much I need but for now I don’t mind buying the stuff at the store.

Soup ,

Hmmm ok that doesn’t sound too bad to do. What vessel does it go in, just a pot? Is wider and shallower better?

Soup ,

Do you have a source because it really does not destroy the fibre unless you’re doing an incredible fine grind which a blender simply is not capable of, certainly for the 10-20s it takes to make a smoothie. You’ll need a source on this.

Nuts aren’t unhealthy seriously what are you talking about? A bunch of extreme examples that never really happen?

Soup ,

Ah ok, sick! Thanks!

There was a factory in NYC that locked the doors so people wouldn’t take breaks outside. A fire happened and people died because of this. Afterwards they…did it again. Regulations are written in blood and usually because anyone expecting a business to do the right thing, especially a larger one, is so bewilderingly stupid that I’m shocked that their shriveled up brain can even keep their heart beating when they go to sleep at night.

According to Wikipedia that is because the bird-hipped ones looked like modern birds and the names came before we realized the error.

Right but if Windows is now becoming a problem then it’s a start. And so many software developers I know use MacBooks for their job and say that they’re just better for the work. Microsoft is hoping that the fear of change means they can do whatever they want, if they even have any thoughts in their thick heads at all that is, and don’t seem to realize that at some point even the most devoted users will have to face the fact that there are better options.

Fuck Windows, it’s such an ass product that’s only selling point right now that some key products don’t work on anything else simply because the developers of them don’t want to do the work and not because it has some magic sauce that a Mac or Linux machine doesn’t.

My old roommate just wakes up with perfect hair. Some people just got it in ‘em. I also learned how to cut my own hair in the pandemic and it went pretty well, though yea a knife a dirty mirror ain’t gunna cut it.

The restrictions are on people who are playing the game(and showing it off prior to release).

The restrictions are showing that the company selling the game is kinda shitty.

We cannot say for certain but it’s possible that someone(s) in the first group, the customers, is trying to disrupt the sales for a game from a shitty company.

The people who care about and released the restrictions and the people who would be affected by the attack are the same people. The attack isn’t about in-game themes because if it was they simply wouldn’t launch the game.

An Israeli freed from Gaza returns to a village where 70% of homes are targeted for demolition (apnews.com)

Qaid Farhad Alkadi, 52, is one of Israel’s roughly 300,000 Bedouin Arabs, a poor and traditionally nomadic minority that has a complicated relationship with the government and often faces discrimination....

because they were built without permits in a “protected forest” not zoned for housing, according to a lawyer representing them.

Look I’m not out here trying to defend the Israeli government but as someone who works office-side in contruction and who deals with building codes frequently I kinda get it. I’m sure they’ll go about it all wrong and treat the people like a racist afterthought but codes and permits exist for a reason.

I like that tractor Jeep. Doesn’t look super fast but it gets its job done and can be used for all kinds of things even outside of wartime. Plus it looks like a station wagon and I frickin’ love station wagons.

I was hoping to find something explaining why they weren’t employees previously. They drive Amazon branded vehicles, are called Amazon drivers, don’t seem to be doing anything else, and don’t seem to have been hired externally by another firm.

So how in the fuck were they not employees?! This is crazy, I hope Amazon gets royally fucked in some why they might actually feel.

Soup ,

God, that’s dirty. What a bunch of assholes, I’m glad they’re getting the stick.

Soup ,

No, kill the mood. Stab it in it’s stupid fucking face and kick it’s corpse out of the way. All it’s done is be an obstacle because weak people are too uncomfortable doing little things and even more whiny now that the need is far greater.

You’re exactly right and put it perfectly: “it’s not about who survives, it’s about who suffers and dies”. People will die over something we have endless solutions to but will never put in place because the weakest, most fragile little snot-nosed fucks are afraid of the slightest discomfort.

It’s disgusting, end of.

While it doesn’t make the image real there are plenty of airsoft pistols that use CO2 and propane. They look like the real thing, even knock the slide back and everything. Some are even designed to look more like sport shooting pistols.

That’s the best, and worst, part. The left just doesn’t ever need to create boogey-men because the right simply cannot help themselves but be just the fucking worst. They say it all themselves, none of that misrepresenting or twisting of words or anything, they just fuckin’ say how shitty they are all the damn time. And you can still double check to make sure!

Soup ,

And then you just let it lie? Sure sometimes you ignore what a boss says because they have an unreasonable hold over your life, or that douche at the store who you just don’t want to have a fight with, but this asshole was on a podcast trying to act like a big important whatever and didn’t walk it back or anything.

If this ain’t that bad then buddy you gotta do some soul-searching.

Soup ,

The best part is that it’s not even as easy to say “opposed to science”. They love that shit if it gives them power. All conservatism is, or has ever been, is an ideology to give to the stupid in order for those in power to maintain their grip on it. Any common themes over the years and in different cultures are just so because that’s the meta.

Soup ,

Could be at least ok if any of it actually fit.

Oh I just read them as separate things, that’s all.
