I HATE their mom! She’s the worst!

Another common argument is that it’s very resource intensive and wastes energy. This is true, but there’s no reason to believe this won’t be optimized. In fact, we’ve already seen a lot of optimizations happen in just a few years that now make it possible to run models that used to require a data centre to run on a laptop.

On the matter of “collectible”, how is it even ontologically sound to “collect” things that are expressily produced as collectibles? You collect things, coins, paintings, stamps, phone cards, even gaming cards. All things that exist in their own merit that you choose to collect, usually giving them value according to their accidental rarity.

With this shit you are not collecting, you are just purchasing.

Communism.

No it’s a comic nobody really exists in there.

I’ll bite. The elephant in the room is your father and your relationship with all the people involved.

The obvious answer is of course yes. Earth shattering yes. Driven to multiple bankrupcies by therapist bills yes.

This in real and you chose to vent by asking strangers online if the would feel “weirded out” if that happened to them.

I used to bury myself under a copious amount of videogames. Unlike what one could expect, mostly online but never engaging with people (I’ve never engaged with the rather common habit of inviting people to duo / coop / join the party after a good performance, having stranger’s voices invade my head and other rather normal experience for 2024).

I guess it worked, to an extent, because it kept me busy.

On the long run I never said no to any chance of socialization that arised from work (I guess School would be the equivalent here).

It can leave you vulnerable to rejection, or rather unentusiastic spotty invites, but it should eventually lead to a couple of lifetime friendship, possibly more if you are not as caustic as me.

For reference, since this is the most upvoted reply as of now, this is not a description I (and possibly other people) resonate with.

I’m not referring to prostate stimulation, I mean the concept of hornyness as a burden and orgasm as a an escape from it. I’ll add that I would never in a million years pick a foot massage or scratching an hitch as preferrable.

I don’t play Civ VI and I don’t rule a country so I can’t speak from experience.

Well that escalated quickly.

100% of the people are like that!

Last time this happened to me we hastely turned our dinner in a romantic candle lighted dinner.

The hope is for enough people to die therefore making further death impossible?

You can rephrase it in lighter terms as “how much is enought military funding?”

You would probably just start disliking what they manipulate you into disliking, instead of what you actively discover as wrong.

Unless you cut all social contact, that is.

At birth.

The necessity for an army.

So you don’t know enough to navigate the news therefore you’d rather know a little?

Isn’t it better to know a lot so you can navigate news and everything else properly?

We can agree to agree.

I guess having something in there is good but it’s inherently an issue when the topic at hand is acting outside survelliance.

Let’s say, for example, things escalate and reddit get fully weaponized for the benefit of one side, and they start pushing for known compromised VPNs. How can you fight that if pepole got into the habit of trusting such platform?
