Is the Valve Index really that unpopular? Or is it not included in the list for some reason?

The fact that people believe this was real shows that even the most basic media literacy is fucking dead.

Why are people so bad at recognizing obviously fake shit?

Not a single millennial was old enough to vote for Clinton. Barely any were old enough to vote for Bush, even during his second term.

Do not lump millennials in with that mess. We didn’t make it, we were just forced to grow up with it.

Because literally every country south of the US is worse, with the exception of New Zealand, a few island nations, and maybe Australia.

“People will not forget!”

Ron Howard: “They Would.”

Name a non-US country in the Americas that is not

1. Are already closer to fascism than the US
2. Currently threatened by the US
3. Poverty stricken and lacking basic infrastructure (electricity, plumbing, internet) to a majority of the country.

Mumble is a terrific VOIP program. It’s audio quality and reliability are WAY better than discord. But it does not nearly have enough features to be a good replacement. It’s missing features like being able to stream in-app, share videos, keep and pin messages in different channels, pinging system for people and groups… The list goes on. These are features that groups and communities have come to rely on.

An analogy would be like comparing an incredibly good tent to a shitty house. While the tent is probably comfier to sleep in, eventually you’re going to want things like outlets, kitchen appliances, toilets, and showers which make the shitty house the better long-term choice.

Those years were around the time he was very pro-LGBT and human rights. Seems like he stopped taking the “we’re all connected” drugs and started taking the “I’m amazing and better than everyone” drugs.

“Hey! That store you don’t shop at? Make sure you continue to not shop there for the next 40 days! That’ll show the elites!”

If someone I don’t like or interact with says they support me, that is not me “teaming up” with them.

The President is behind him too. I don’t like either of them, but I can see why people would want to take a picture.

People hate whenever Brave is mentioned… But when it comes to privacy, I have not regretted my decision to use it

Yea! I was told that the genocide was single-handedly Biden’s fault and then single-handedly Kamala’s fault and that’s why we couldn’t vote for them! It’s a good thing we didnt too. It was important to send a message to the Democrats that we think genocide as bad. And what better way to send that message than to elect someone who pushes even harder for it?!

Nope, they aren’t brown enough to be on the list.

Nah, this is crazier. Ignore the DEI angle and this is a state suing a company for the crime of not being profitable. That’s way more out of the norm than a racist gunman shooting people because he’s racist.

I mean, he was incredibly rich. That probably helped.

Anyone else getting a little overwhelmed with the amount of CAD programs out there these days? Reminds me of that XKCD comic about 14 competing standards.

Maybe recognize that your partner doesn’t ascribe as much meaning to arbitrary dates and that silently expecting them to do something is a toxic mentality. I hope you realize you’re not teaching them any sort of lesson, you are intentionally setting yourself up to be disappointed/upset at your partner for not following the rules of a game they didn’t know you were playing.

Especially these days. Don’t you think it’s possible they have other things on their mind? I know I do. Between trying to figure out how to pay bills, figuring out how to save a little so we can retire some day, thinking about how stressful my job is, thinking about all the chores that need to be done, worrying about the health of myself and my family, worrying about car/home repairs, keeping insurance/registrations/enrollments/appointments/documents all up to date, and the endless struggle of what we’re having for dinner tonight; there’s just not a whole lot of mental space left for reading my partner’s mind and fulfilling their unspoken expectations.

You say this has been happening for years. Ever think that it’s just not something that’s going to change? That you’re expecting a fish to climb a tree unprompted and then getting upset with the fish when it doesn’t?

Grow the fuck up. Be a partner to your partner. How hard is it to say “Hey, I’d like to feel special on Valentine’s Day. It’s important to me.”?

No, they used Telegram because they’re idiots and don’t understand privacy.

Cuz even if I’m semi-conscious, I’m still in my warm cocoon of heavy blankets where there are no problems and no people to bother me. There are some mornings I would give up nearly anything for just 5 more minutes.
