I am a time-traveling dolphin. An entity made of giant balls gave me the ability to breathe underwater, but this ability was recently stolen from me by aliens.
Sometimes I turn into a bird.
Bill Gates doesn’t work for Microsoft anymore.
I’m not comfortable giving my money to companies run by pedophiles. I think most people don’t like doing that. This isn’t a court of law - we’re not sending them to prison. You’re allowed to say “where there’s smoke there’s fire” and do something else with your dollars.
This shit is so prevalent its going to be hard, but I can act on the information I do have, so can you.
I’m going to take a different stance to a lot of the posters here.
Your friend may be showing signs of undiagnosed mental illness.
If you value him, listen to him and confront him when he has broken away from reality. But don’t argue with him. Be firm in your disagreements but don’t argue.
Be supportive of him if you can. Make sure he has a support network (parents siblings others)
Sometimes mental illness does not manifest until early adulthood.
Know your limits. Care for yourself.
how do i stop the mind goblins
how do i. STOP the mind goblins
hhhhhhhhhhh
Much appreciated. Haven’t found any time to read anything, regrettably, but I have bookmarked your lists!
Part of the sign up process I went through was to copy a line from something Marx wrote (can’t remember now I’m a bad communist) to be approved for an account.
Maybe it wasn’t like that in the past but it was made clear in the sign up processs that the admins are ML communists and run their instance with those beliefs informing their moderation decisions.
He said, as he replied to everyone in the thread that he did not agree with.
Thank you for the thorough answer, this is what I was looking for.
Where do you draw the line?
I’m asking if its good or if its edgelord shovelware.
Have you played it?
So you’re saying this game is a work of art that will endure the ages? Worthy of hundreds of years of praise?
Horses, a first-person psychological horror adventure about “the burden of familial trauma and puritan values, the dynamics of totalitarian power, and the ethics of personal responsibility” set on a ranch where nude human beings in horse masks are treated as livestock.
Is this just a game for edgelords or is there something compelling under that mess of a description?
Edit: We don’t have to pretend every game is art - there’s crap out there. I’m asking if anybody thinks this thing has redeeming qualities based on actual information about the game, not hypotheticals.
Friend, the totals are percentages, not absolute counts
This poll annoyed me so much I googled it. It’s just a really shitty poll. There is no reason to believe the 5 listed jobs is a subset of the answers. This is an infographic summarizing a single question from a survey that seems to be commissioned by LEGO.
Article from the “Harris Poll”
I couldn’t find like, an academic paper describing the poll. There’s no methodology for it I can find. It’s just some corporate fluff piece, frankly.
So I guess 3% if these are the only 3 countries included
Yep, only 3 countries. This is just a trash poll.
It says all the children were given an option to pick up to 3 answers.
Mmhmm, I also noticed that, which is why it’s the second sentence in my post.
Given the small sample size
It’s a survey of 3,000? It’s still possible that only one person was giving the survey to the Chinese students.
But yeah, it does look like the Chinese students got different instructions or had them explained differently or something. Just a strange poll.
18+52+37+47+56=210 for China. Each child could pick up to 3 answers. The average number of jobs the Chinese children picked was 2.
For USA/UK the average was about 1. Very few children selected more than one answer.
That’s weird. What a weird poll. Were there only 5 possible choices? I would have told you I wanted to be a veterinarian at that age, if I answered at all. (I did not become a vet, I became a failure lmao)
Have you ever woke up and felt like garbage despite not doing anything diabolical the previous night (drinking etc)? And you wondered why you felt like shit?
The answer may surprise you
She, famously, has no idea how humans live. She is culturally distinct from the Europeans on the coast.
She has more in common with the fish that she speaks to. She’s basically a magic dolphin.
Meanwhile, the people in the OP image are humans (to my knowledge, I’m not a nerd). Humans who have lived in the human world with human pasts full of human culture which give context to their characterization. I’m sure their background stories matter to their fans.
Nobody argues about what color the scales on Ariel’s tail should be.
Sure but she didn’t, she’s not in the meme I’m critiqueing. I wouldn’t have that complaint about that situation. I’d have other complaints, if I wasn’t completely drowned in a bottle or something
George Floyd and Trayvon Martin were ordinary citizens living their lives, whose deaths were linked to (and probably caused by) oppression and racism. They never wanted national attention, certainly not for this.
Kirk was a propagandist whose speech contributed to the environment of political divisiveness, bigotry and intolerance. He was a public figure who thrived on the controversy caused by his hateful speech.
I can’t upvote this meme, it feels like false equivalence (I agree with the sentiment, though, it just… they don’t care if they’re being hypocritical. That’s their game).
the only good Adam Sandler movie is uncut gems
its a good movie, he is cast perfectly, and he gets punched in the face
On selling services to law enforcement: I disagree. You would want your E2E encryption platform to be respected and recognized by law enforcement, so they don’t just think “oink oink, only criminals use this service, this guy must be a criminal!”
I recommend this defcon talk if you haven’t watched it (I think its the right one, TOR developer talks about why he teaches federal agencies how to use TOR)
