What's the opposite of "eating the onion"? I thought this was satire for sure.

"Okay, look, I understand this may be presenting as if I am in a manic episode, I get it. And I get that I have pulled every item from the storage room and am now in the process of reorganizing the entire basement. And yes, it is 3 A.M., but I really don't see how that is relevant. Honestly, have you considered that I am going to need a lot more space to keep all the wood I just found on the side of the road? I swear, it's like you don't support my much-loved woodworking hobby I started 6 hours ago."

"Oooh, you know what? I'm going to give in and just build an extension to the garage for a new workshop. No, I don't know how to build anything, but I have resources and it can't be that difficult. It'll be done in three days, I really feel like you underestimate just how motivated of a person I am. "

Two weeks later, I'm hyper-ventilating in the fetal position on the floor of my closet when the city cops come out to say something has to be done with the rotting shit-wood awkwardly slapped together and nailed to the side of the garage.

Hey my friend, fellow depressive here. It's not addiction, it's a massive struggle. This is a vital time, the only way out is to face your circumstance.

To be fair, I assumed people would understand I don't mean gamers as a whole are like this. I think we all have a responsibility, but I also think the majority of gamers (at least in my age group) are reasonable and show respect.

I see where you're going with negative generalizations on race, but it's a completely different ball field. I could probably think of many reasons why, but my main argument is that the general group of "gamers" have never had to face any real existential adversity. No one ever put us in chains, stole our children, etc. on the basis that we play games.

So, I'm not trying to be severe here, but your argument implies you would watch someone be raped without intervening. Your argument falls apart for me with that context. Someone has to yell into the void, it's something more than letting the problem fester unabated.

The ones who will listen need to learn to speak. Otherwise, why are listeners paying attention at all?

Not even being sarcastic; I am completely open to suggestions and constructive criticism.

That's a pretty harmful word though, my guy, kind of antiquated. There are better insults, like "cock-brained" or "silly stupid little groundfuckers", to name a few suggestions.

Lolol. Win some, lose some, it doesn't really matter. I made my point and am satisfied with that; it's anyone's right to disagree with me.

And if I am in the wrong for wanting a better community, then the state of humanity just makes me a little more sad. Far from surprised, however.

"Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what makes you cheer!"

I mean, call them asses. Maybe they don't care, maybe they do, but we keep the problem relevant by being vocal against this kind of thing. To not do anything at all is to encourage trolls.

The sentiment is that we all have a responsibility to hold our community accountable for this type of behavior.

You can disagree, it is likely a matter of philosophy. I feel a responsibility to try to put more positive influence to the world, and to call out harmful actions. Not everyone does, that is fine too, albeit a little sad.

Well that felt unkind. The distinction between male and female is being made because the modder states men are sexually harassing her. There are other forms of harrassment listed, but it seems reasonable to make a distinction since there is a sexual nature to part of it.

Depends which website I'm on

Idk, he looks like a perfectly attractive man, in my opinion.

This year they came out in droves, to the point where their sound was ear-splitting and drowned out most of the cars on the major road I live on. The sound is one of the worst things I have ever heard (intense bug phobia).. so yeah, fuck everything about this.

Man, I am so sorry this is your situation. I won't pretend to really know what advice to give you, other than you should contact adult protective services and see if they can do anything since you are a vulnerable person (aka disabled).

Again, I don't know shit from fuck, but that's where I would start. Idk if the cops would take the threat seriously or not, but you might be able to file a restraining order.

Ironic that he's an actual fucking billionaire at this point.

It's a turdoggy lmao

Now I'm not some fancy science-man, but I do reckon that an impact of that magnitude would propel massive chunks of Earth debris in every direction at incredible speeds. Odds seem fairly well even that you'd get your own little impact death pretty well soon after.

Aw man, you've never been broke as fuck huh?

Problem is that something like this doesn't really hold water against sleeping disorders. Using weed to fall asleep is literally a treatment option often prescribed to people who have sleep problems. I don't think caffeine tabs are something a doctor would consider if you were having troubles staying awake.

Well I already have the crocs, you see..
