I just bought the F.E.A.R bundle from steam a week ago or so, and beat the first game in the series 20 years after release. And other than a fan made .dll patch, it was great. Lacked some depth more modern titles have, but I also noticed how much effort was put into some details that were surprising for its age.

I had a similar experience on my YouTube TV app, I was watching old history channels in bed, and there was a full length documentary for an "ad". I could have skipped after 15 seconds or whatever, but I had to INTERACT with the TV before it would resume. I was distracted so it ended up playing like 15 minutes of an hour+ documentary ad.

Witcher 3 was also self published, and it came down to 70% off after a few years.

A self-driving vehicle is not exclusive to Elon.

I prefer electric cars over gas ones, and think that at some point computer controlled transportation will be more reliable than the average human driver. These aren't endorsements of any person or company.

Why are you wrapping this up so much with the one dude?

Its like saying that you can't endorse online shopping unless you also like Bezos.

The ad is saying PlayStation is as good as drugs? I'm assuming that the little tabs are supposed to be exctacy or something.

It is not illegal to make backup copies for yourself of games you have purchased and own.

It's just a tips and how-to on how to make your dishwasher work best. Run the sink tap until hot before you start, use cheap powder or gel soap, make sure to use the dispenser and use a bit of soap in the prewash cycle. Great channel though, very deep dives into technology, primarily home goods or oddities.

Constant harassment? No because I block people at the drop of a hat. Unprompted friend request? Blocked. Playing music in global chat? Blocked. Shitty username? Blocked. Don't deal with people, a single infraction is enough to remove internet strangers forever.

So because you're not the ultimate moral arbiter, why not leave it up to the people who may or may not get an abortion? Almost like it's pro CHOICE.

Your example of pushing is still assault and non-consensual, pretty easy to call a difference there. The only argument I've heard hold any water is the cutoff time for abortion, but that's not what pro life people are ever talking about.

I don't know about the metabolism, but you are definitely wrong about the spelling of "told"

Well at the point of kicking, I don't think many people are saying abortion is still an option. Pushing a pregnant person feels worse, in the same way hurting any more vulnerable party does. Can't really argue with that. Causing a miscarriage should be a more serious offense yes, but I feel like it is a difference between suicide and manslaughter. Both are crime, and both have the same end point, but one was action taken against another.

The unborn child doesn't get a say because it doesn't have a say yet. It doesn't have an opinion. It doesn't want to live. It can't survive on its own, it's just a parasite basically until it's born.

Being pregnant is a life threatening emergency, until we had modern medical intervention, we had death from childbirth all the time. Like, all the friggin time. Making someone carry to term is not exactly a no-risk/no struggle situation for them, and forcing them to is just punishment for sinning for a lot of pro-life people. Same reason a portion of pro life people want to ban contraceptives.

The goal is to stop having unhappy, poor, abused, or unwanted children, and to have happy, well adjusted, wanted and loved children. The pro-life argument usually stops as soon as a kid is born. No adoption programs, no child health care reform, no handouts for struggling parents, nothing. So someone who wasn't ready to have a kid might now be forced to either abandon them or barely make it through life with a kid, making everything harder for all of them.

Good! That's what I want to hear.

I'm also in the second camp. Plus, censoring the bad words on specific users is a few too many steps closer to don't say gay on the internet. Is ass ok but not fuck? Is sex talk forbidden? All mention of anatomy, including general questions about health? How about they ban anti-capitalist language too? The tiktok language phenomenon shows that users will absolutely just make do getting around communication bans, "unalive" and "le$beans" being the most popular. This type of censorship has already happened on other platforms, and it's all bullshit and useless.

I've seen brass colored on some older plugs.

"0h h1" is a fun, easy logic puzzle game that I find myself going back to when I have a minute to kill.

There will always be another shitty person and yes it is exhausting. My partner is non-binary, I understand some of it. But online is literally the easiest place to be an ID and not a person. Don't put anything in your profile, don't hint stuff with your usernames, make your pfp a cartoon sheep, and only express anything that might bring harassment in places that will accept it, and make that a separate identity. I use the same username everywhere and it's unique, but I'm also not a target.

I can empathize with it being a problem, but there are (annoying and unfair) steps to mitigate it. It might even involve removing or abandoning all of your online identities so you can't be tracked down, but people get doxed all the time and have to start over.

It may be stretched or something but there are 16 marks in between the inch marks, it's not like they skipped counting a line.

I was just mentioning that to my partner lol. If someone has a bad enough take on a subject, I just remove that interaction, and make sure I don't think about their opinions anymore. I'm sure some people will say that I'm not open-minded enough and shouldn't block people with other views but I don't have that kind of time, and I don't feel like making it my problem.

Right? I tried my hand at welding a rec tube to a plate to make an oil tank for knife making. I had to use epoxy to keep it water tight.

Told is the past tense of tell, tolled is the past tense of "to toll" like a fee for something. English sucks lol

I believe it is where I am too, 36+ is full-time for benefits requirements. Apparently the insurance company asked my employer to please make sure I was working at least 36hrs a week, because for a month or so I was only getting to 32.

Yeah but I'm doing 64 in a 55, passing the person doing 58 in the right lane and someone comes up behind me doing 75, acting like I'm impeding the flow of traffic.

It takes a little while to pass someone without wildly breaking the law.

I tried it for an hour, the gameplay was just starting to get past intro stuff and seemed interesting sobut I had just awful performance with my 1080ti. Bad enough that I refunded it. I do wonder if that got fixed by now, but not enough to try again.
