Car crashes have killed and seriously injured roughly the same number of people as shootings in Chicago this year. Only one of these things draws media attention.

  • Hi! PROBLEM SOLVED. /s

    But seriously, you can find a community with similar interests. There are lots of lonely people out here.. help solve each-others problem.

    Discord gets a lot of shit, probably rightfully so, but it's genuinely helped me find a lot of casual connections that not just distracted me, but helped me learn more about something I like, or sometimes even somthing about myself.

    • It's important to be clear

  • hahaha, I've never heard that before but It sure sounds amusing.

    Like I said before, I think that very well may be the origin of the term. But it's certainly not commonly use in the city like that these days.

  • Ahh there you go, maybe hitchhiking culture was different down here. Although I don't think I've ever seen someone attempting to hitch-hike in my life tbh. Just not something people do anymore I guess. (Maybe it happens in more rural areas).

    You're not wrong about your culture spreading though. Halloween wasn't even considered a thing when I was growing up. Now... depending on where you live you get kids attempting it. But it's still a minority. Many grumpy home-owners saying "this isn't America!" still exist.

    'Dag' is certainly some aussie slang. Although I've never heard it used like that, I spose that might be its origin (sheep shearers are kind of a historical working class icon here). These days it's probably be more synonymous with "dork", or wearing some unfashionable clothing.

  • Australian here. Sorry that's not a thing. Maybe if you gestured the thumbs up in a particular way? (Usually moving your whole arm up and of towards your shoulder? Honestly hard to explain in text). But that's kind of a whole new gesture, not a thumbs up.

    Don't be afraid of doing the thumbs up here, we all do it and know what it means.

    • The perfect day!

  • Damn.. I need to play automata again. Feel like a lot went over my head the first time.

  • So I only just got into linux this year. I gave some X11 distro's a go, but the screen tearing was awwwwfulll. So I've been running Wayalnd/Plasma for months now.

    What exactly am I missing out on? Seems lots of users here still favor X11 over wayland but as I've never had any problems. It's still unclear to me why people are still sticking with X11.

    • Doom (2016) now DRM free on GOG

  • I always liked the idea of doomguy, an absurd character, being grounded in a little lore and just playing around with him decimating any kind of plot a villian was comming up with.

    Doom:E seemed to build a bunch of lore that no one was really asking for. Does anyone really want to know "Who was doom guy?" I didn't. I really enjoyed him being barely a character, more a force of nature trying to eridicate demons. Rip & tear!

  • Tell me more, why for you is that the case?

    I think doom 2016 does theme/story and just the over all 'fantasy' of being the doomguy WAY better. I really missed it in Doom:E. However I do really enjoy the way they built the gameplay loop into this frantic dance of violence.

    • What’s your ultimate unpopular opinion?

  • The problem really is whats at stake.

    When you get somthing wrong, what are the consequences? Extermination.

    Even with the best of intentions, huge, horrible mistakes can be made.

  • I understand the mods disagreements here but I can't agree with just straight up deleting these comments. Censorship has its place, but this isn't it imo.

  • Can you link the thread/evidence? Given the right context that'd be pretty damning.

  • I'd argue survivorship bias might skew your perception here.

    I'm all for cheaper uniforms though.

  • To OP: I think Uniforms are important factor to reduce discrimination based on class.

    Just becauae you come from a poor family doesnt mean you should stick out from the crowd. Uniforms help equalize that playing field.

    • Which game is it?

    Jump

  • Oh yeah, SS14 has finally made the game playable with high ping... anddddd has therefore I've put like 300 hours into it.

    Its really one of the few games that seems to avoid a community of "meta-gaming" or "instrumental play" which sucks all the fun out of a lot of games with huge roleplay potential.
