The difference is that now conventional corporate media has a much weaker effect on people's beliefs now.

Now its corporate social media that is influencing our deep fried brains.

I say this as someone who doesn't have Obamna Derangement Syndrome: this post is painful boomer slop.

Opposition to Epstein's crimes are far too interwoven into the fabric of the cult-right/q-anon cult's identity and mythos for them to let this go. Its not that they care about children, its that even Trump doesn't supersede the collective rage they're attached too with their belief in a "secret evil cabal" and "deepstate". Protecting children is just a convenient justification for what is mostly just bitter reactionary politics towards a changing world economy or culture. Always has been.

Even if with Epstein they're at least overlapping with the truth (Epstein was a human trafficker and rapist and many who hung out with him were rapists as well), you shouldn't mistake that reactionary rage for an earnest desire to fix things or protect the innocent. They just want a justification to hurt people. They want someone to burn at the stake.

Imagine being scooped up by that thing, never even likely knowing previously what being that high up in the air meant. Being in awe of what you are seeing as you are carried to your doom, only to be horrifically and painfully eaten alive.

Isn't NYC one of the most walkable cities in the US?

That's just a link to the wikipedia page philosophy of solipsism, what specific extreme form of it are you talking about? Is there a name for it?

lol no

"Both sides bad"

I've never sent a dick pic and I don't know if my anxiety/insecurity would allow me to send one even if it was requested.

I can't fathom just sending one to a stranger without being asked for it.

I want my foreskin back.

I say this as someone who loves sluts: Slut is technically a slur.

Following a moral framework so strictly sounds so rewarding...

I say this as an autist historically riddled with anxiety: Life is meant to be lived. I kind of lived similarly for the first ~15 years of my adult life and I regret it as a waste. Get out there, do something cringe, stupid, or questionably ethical. Make dumb mistakes, because if you don't your life will be a void and you'll learn nothing and stagnate. Live a life worthy of telling it as a story. Get hurt and accept you might hurt others by living vibrantly.

I've been trying to do so for the past 7 years or so... covid set me back a little socially but I'm recovering again.

When I say to the same degree I'm not saying there aren't people with thousands of games elsewhere. I'm saying there are more of them on Steam and they tend to collect higher amounts of games on average.

Board game enthusiasts don't always have thousands of board games, most console gaming enthusiasts don't have giant walls of games lining their house, etc.

That said, I don't have sources to cite here other than my personal interactions with other steam users on social media and my steam friends list number of games. I could be wrong as this isn't hard data but I'd bet money I'm correct though if there was a way to verify the comparison.

That's a really nice grill you got there...

Not to the same degree.

Huh

Similar story of my own: Had a middle school computer teacher who told us to use "File -> Open URL" on Internet Explorer/Netscape (can't remember which) which opened a prompt window with a text field to enter in a URL. And I pointed out that you can just use the address bar and do the same thing and she angrily told me that I had to do it the proper way. While I thought she wasn't looking, I used the address bar anyway. She apparently had been trying to spy if I disobeyed, caught me, and told me that I failed the assignment (I did not even know I was being graded).

Another different computer teacher at my high school I had seemed to more or less admit she had no idea what she was doing (she originally taught a different subject, she seemed legitimately nervous/insecure about possibly losing her job) though she tried by just reading the text book to us verbatim for a few days. Eventually, she gave up and the students just taught each other computer stuff in her class, then when they ran out of things to teach each other they just played Age of Empires all class and the she let us.

I have this problem with a bunch of new hires.

sometimes there is no step by step guide and you need to exercise judgement and make some decisions on your own.

They probably think they aren't paid enough to care so much to actually exert mental effort beyond strict requests and step by step and don't expect to have a future to look forward to so why worry about progressing in a career?

Because that's how I treat my job. I don't get paid nearly enough to try beyond the absolute bare fucking minimum.

I don't like Asmon but my understanding is he supports SKG. Am I wrong?

Also I saw a clip of SomeOrdinaryGamers, which indicated that he tempered his support with a dash of (wrong) both-sides-ism. But it was only a clip.
