Found the libertarian.

If it came down to it, I would take an extension to turn the video black, mute it, and click the skip button for me. Better than having to pull my attention away from what I’m doing to click the skip button or else have an ad that legitimately can play for hours on end. Having the pauses would be annoying but less so than the ad.

The older you are, the more effort I expect. A kid can get away with a cape and a mask. If an older teen comes, I expect full costume, not everyday clothes. Adult? You better be rocking a great cosplay. Not that I’d refuse anyone, but I’ll be happiest giving treats to young children or people showing off really amazing effort in the costume department.

I don’t speak German but I can if you’d like.

That’s really cool! I struggle with some games because of it. Subnautica is an absolute no for me, but even No Man’s Sky and Minecraft can trigger it.

No. Having inhumane conditions for the workers is cruelty.

People in the comments missing the point completely. The solution to animal cruelty is not human cruelty.

Yes, eating animals is cruel to animals, but meat eating isn’t going away, and being cruel to the people who work in those places isn’t going to stop the industry. It’s just going to physically and mentally harm a lot of underpaid, overworked, poor, immigrant people. People who don’t have healthcare for the injuries they incur working in hazardous places, for corporations who see them as just replaceable parts of a machine. Being harmed working in these plants isn’t going to result in fewer animals dying or better conditions for the animals we kill. It’s just more senseless harm.

In the complete opposite direction, “I just want to enjoy the story” mode, which simplifies or removes more mechnically difficult sections of the game. A few games have this and it’s great. I appreciated it in Danganrompa.

Mine (thalasaphobia) would be tough to remove.

Welp, reading this thread caused me to make a cup of tea.

It would be great if our public transit system in the US was funded enough to actually be useful for more than just occasional, highly specific trips.

It freaks me out. I hate how they’re making it so we’re pretty much dependent on these corporate-run networks, which then in turn make it so you can’t discuss topics that advertisers dislike, and then you have nowhere else to go to talk about those topics online. Inevitably, minority groups are the first to lose out. There was an absolutely chilling article posted a little while back about a leaked plan from a US conservative group to make is so allowing any discussion of LGBTQIA stuff online would be considered pornographic and disallowed. There are very dangerous people who want to control what we’re allowed to say in online spaces and they are scary smart in how they’re trying to go about it.

What I’m hearing is that the images in the game can’t be copyrighted and any of their competitors can use them with impunity. Awesome.

Does that make it the shittiest, or the least shitty?

Saluton mi amiko!

Great job, Elon. He took one of the most distinctive things about Twitter, the fact that it had a unique verb for its posting type, and killed it. Way to destroy a brand.

Hatoful Boyfriend has some really great moments, especially if you pursue Anghel or Okosan. It also will make you cry your eyes out in the true ending, so there’s a good balance.

Minecraft. I’ll play it if my friends ask me to but I found it incredibly frustrating and boring. The combat feels super weird and hard to execute, most of the discoveries are repetitive, and I didn’t really like the building mechanic. I know, I’m in the minority for not enjoying it, but I guess voxel-style games just aren’t my jam.

And I crossdress (might boost me with socdems but halt momentum with undecideds and old people.)

Depends how sexy your crossdressing is… 🤔

In the winter, 68, 69 if I’m particularly cold, In the summer I don’t turn on the AC unless I’m absolutely dying, and then it only goes to 77. I’m a lizard, I love the heat, but I also hate paying high gas bills.
