But the second is talking about abuses against males. If anything, using two words “dismissed, and sacked” one in each paragraph, makes it even more confusing. Felt like it was saying women in senior positions protected women less (dismissed abusers) while protecting men more (sacking abusers). Just say sacked both times.

Probably just being friendly.

Have you ever played nuclear throne? That’s kinda my preferred pacing in a game, but there aren’t many. I’d love a soulslike where combat was that fast and frantic, and bosses are really difficult but also die really fast if you play it right.

so I’m not sure I know what you mean.

I was mostly basing it on videos I’ve watched. I haven’t actually played it. I’d kind of consider any fight that lasts more than 10 minutes to be well into bullet sponge territory though.

Having a stance meter instead of healthbars sounds pretty interesting though, I think I’ll check it out.

What ecosystem collapses when removing a single creature? Are you talking about pre-holoscene extinction ecosystems? Or are you talking about modern ecosystems (after most of the original biodiversity has already been obliterated, and “removing one species” is actually thousands down on the list of removals)?

How bullet spongey are enemies? One of the reasons I have avoided eldenring is because it looks that every mob has a million HP.

Every time I try a newer Civ title, I end up just going back and doing a Civ IV playthough.

Also, I am pretty sure the games main fanbase is probably pretty… critical of police, to put it mildly.

Beyond that, Zero Parades devs aren’t the Disco Elysium devs anyway.

How so? People are still allowed to make original music. The actually good music is human made anyway.

Maybe the genocide in Gaza?

Only because they were still 1 year away from antimatter explosion vests

with fascists because right now that’s profitable

Or because there is dirt on executives. I have recently began to believe a lot of this bullshit is being run with blackmail as fuel.

Someone who didn’t touch a phone until 18 is going to be so susceptible to scams, catfishes, propaganda, digital manipulation, etc, that I definitely think it is a dangerous nuclear option. Controlled, monitored by good parents, layered introduction is definitely better in my opinion.

As far as megacorporations are concerned, they really just want all of your money

Maybe awhile back, but at this point they are kind of melding with the fascists. Social media, mainstream news, financial architecture, and communication networks controlled by corporations are definitely being backed by increasingly fascist organizations which definitely value total control over everything else.

He has a shootable face. Fuck fascists. He isn’t a political rival, or someone to be debated in the marketplace of ideas, he is my enemy, an existential threat who espouses every characteristic deplorable in humans, he is ideologically opposite of me in every way, and seeks to control or kill me and those like me, just like his child raping lunatic partner.

Ban me for speaking truth and I’ll go somewhere else, heck, that’s why I just came here from reddit.

I tried but now I’m blind after my first sip. Is that temporary?

The capitalist part that wants money can build an accurate enough profile with just statistical correlations, but the fascist aspect isn’t doing it “for the children” or even just money, it’s doing it to completely dismantle all digital privacy, so they can know what everyone is saying and doing online at all times.

If they make their lists too broad however, the lists become useless and we can all hide in the noise.

If you grow up one of the tiny % of kids that grow up without one, it will result in some developmental disadvantages I think. On the other hand, modern social media will impose another set of disadvantages, but fact is that social media and the internet in general are a large part of modern society, so not being able to interface with it until you’re 18 will leave you behind a learning curve.

I don’t think there is any way to actually functionally verify age without either an ID check, or a check that ultimately traces back to an ID check from some entity further up the chain. Any successful age check will either dox your identity to the checker, or it can be trivially bypassed.
