Humanity always seems to learn the wrong lessons from historical events, doesn't it? Hurt people hurt people, I guess...

It wasn't always, and it's not explicitly a trans sub, but yeah it's definitely been very trans-oriented since well before we migrated here from reddit

This one's interesting, because it hails from a time when there was more of a cultural underpinning to the term - companies had a cultural obligation to at least keep up a facade of taking care of their customers, and calling customers guests was explicitly meant to convey a sense of safety and comfort.

It has the exact opposite effect now, because the customer's interests are often in direct opposition to those of the company. The company thinks it owns you, and no longer cares what you think about it.

I don't understand this comment. What harm has nihilism caused that is worth protesting?

This internet version of centrism that everyone hates on is bizarre to me, for the reasons you say - the "only commit half a genocide" type of centrism. Are there people who really strike a middle ground on every issue on principle?

I always understood centrism as "I hold enough opinions from both parties that I don't align with either one", which honestly fits me pretty well. I still have strong opinions on individual issues though...

I'm guessing they knew that it likely wasn't a problem with being ugly, so the therapist did this 'experiment' as a way of demonstrating that. Seems pretty solid to me, actually.

I disagree honestly, the context made it very clear what was meant here, and was a proper use of the word imo.

The colors on that are kinda confusing. 6tn years is yellow, but 2k years is green?

I can't tell if this is a joke or not, and that makes me sad

Holy shit I think I blocked this one from my memory. Seriously, now big could the overlap between mistborn fans and fortnite players possibly be?

Yooo, real life cyberpsychosis just dropped

+1 for airvpn. I've never had any issues, port forwarding works flawlessly, and you can get some incredible deals if you buy 3 years at a time during a sale.

Took me all of 30mins to spin up a local invidious instance. Worth every second

I wish the current list view didn't lead people to unknowingly necro years-old threads lol

I'm fond of wassail. It's usually made with cinnamon, but you could exclude it and it should turn out alright.

I am continually reminded how glad I am that I made SJW my home base. Thank you.

Congrats bro

As soon as I noticed this, I immediately grabbed a userscript that removes it. It's incredible how much screen they managed to waste with the shorts display

Step 1: be attractive Step 2: dont be unattractive

I'm glad people still remember this, I immediately heard it in my head when I saw this post

Good to know this isn't just me, I updated and reinstalled without resorting to forums, and it solved the issue for me too.

I haven't seen this mentioned yet, so I'll say it: The End is Nigh. Shit's hard as balls but very fair and rewarding to play, only go for it if you're a real glutton for punishment.

Ughhhhhh, just logging in in the morning and seeing the tab header go to 'Inbox (27)' is awful.

I personally had a lot of luck save-scumming by savequitting the game and copying the files elsewhere at every holy mountain. (there are scripts floating around that make this easier) Then when I died, I could revisit that area without risking much progress, and it made the game much more fun while I tried to scale the truly formidable learning curve.

Nowadays I feel much more comfortable just doing normal runs, so I guess I 'graduated' lol, some understanding of the wand-building goes wayyyyy further than I expected.

And thus the cycle begins anew.

Made by the same guy, actually. I would say it's similar to Meat Boy in difficulty if you just play the main game, but there are rabbitholes to go down that get much, much harder if you're a completionist.

I've seen no censors on sh.itjust.works so far. I can read the parent comment just fine.

It's nice to see thoughtful comments like this that aren't overwhelmingly downvoted. It's a breath of fresh air after leaving reddit

Likewise... haven't found a good way to do this yet.

+1 for MAM, both their community and collection is excellent.

I can see that, you make a fair point. Centrists are probably the least homogenous group by definition, so they don't really stand for anything in particular and the label loses meaning.

However, I do think there is something to be said for using the centrist label to dodge around people trying to pigeonhole you into a specific viewpoint. For example, I've had great discussions with someone about UBI and socialized healthcare before, only for them to feel utterly betrayed and revolted by my stance on gun control (as they naturally assumed the rest of my views would align with theirs along their party lines).

Our political culture is so incredibly hateful and polarized at this point in time that I feel like 'adopting the role of a D or an R' for a single discussion is a recipe for disaster. If there's anything people instinctively hate worse than an enemy, it's a traitor.

This is a great write-up, thanks for your take.

Maybe the take is that without masks, everyone would have had covid already and immunized themselves to it? Given how fast covid seems to evolve I don't think this interpretation is true, but at least it's coherent

That's fucking awesome.
