Always has been.

You can spend more on mobile game mtx than a full triple A experience including the console and in fact most people do which is why the "core" is an ever shrinking slice of the pie that to GenA probably doesn't even make any sense.

The price doesn't really matter, my point is that you're not buying a Nintendo switch to play GTA 6 and you're not buying a steam deck to play Warioware Inc.

(Well, I am, because I've never given them any money nor plan to and think Nintendo peaked way back in either the SNES or the GBA era and I neither had nor knew what a Nintendo even was as a kid).

I did answer yours. I said I assumed someone must be feeling insecure if they downvoted my very sugarcoaty post, if that's not the case then I'm wrong and that's that, but at least one dude definitely got it and said he "appreciates the honesty".

I think plenty do come away better people because honestly I know plenty of people who were on there when they were younger but are normal well-adjusted adults now, and also me.

These are completely different devices for different use cases for different audiences with wildly different tastes. Nintendo hasn't been in the "core" gaming space since before the Wii.

They taught it toxicity so it knows what they mean by "don't be toxic". It's only a shame so few flesh and blood models take the same lesson away from it.

What a nice folder of mostly text files, would be a shame if someone did a cat * without checking to make sure it doesn't have a 2GB encrypted game asset archive in it.

How am I factually incorrect? I didn't even state any facts. A statement like 5'7" is quite short is fairly subjective by its nature because short/tall are qualitative descriptors that it's hard to quantify even with a frame of reference and averages agreed upon.

I could see it being effective, yeah. Obviously in this situation she just needs to try it (carefully obvs) and report the effects. If it's not/won't be medically prescribed for her condition then she would be in somewhat untested waters, so it's a trial and error thign obviously keep it safe and acetone wash it.

When I was self-medding with amph, I bought a scale and would pack it in capsules weighed out to 40mg each and pop two - four a day. Don't snort that shit.

Definitely don't do Cocaine that shit doesn't help much of anything and even if it seems to, lasts all of 10 minutes unless you OD.

I would also suggest wellbutrin. It's sometimes used as a generic stim, but unlike amph and etc. it's also a smoking cessation aid - because it works on the nicotinic receptor, similar effect to nicotine but without the addiction (and in fact,.you won't want to ever consume nicotine on it).

Also usually has an integrated LSP and Linter for the text editor.

It's a joke based on the Verge article from last year(?) that said Zoomers don't know what files and folders on a computer are.

I excitedly told my girlfriend who's big into PC overclocking that my SSD does 500mb/s. Hers is one of these newfangled M.2. NVMe drives does 5000mb/s. She also asked me if a mechanical hard drive does around 500mb/s too... I'm like 25 and right there with ya.

I don't think so, the game critics video and the cyberpunk video and most videos other than the Starfield one I mentioned are older than that, but even if I am mistaken - I would be mentioning them because they're fresh in memory, but my overall impression is that pre-"I'm done making good videos" he was doing a lot more in terms of quality of the essays, the humor and structure.

I guess he's focused on running his publishing studio, doing music and streaming these days? Godspeed honestly.

I use F-Droid on Android and I don't use Google Play at all. I'm really glad laws exist that prevent monopolization and I'm really glad the OS is open source so that if it were to ever change I will just use a different fork.

There's no sign up or payment info required.

It works great for me. I don't pay for any apps nor have I ever nor will I, but if I did, I would PayPal/Ko-Fi/Shopify/Patreon the money to the Dev without any further sign up required.

1. It’s your SO or kid accessing it and they don’t know any better.

Teach them or dont give them devices or admin privs on them. If all else fails they are free to use the apple app store where apple will now be exposed to the broader market and set the fees accordingly.

2. You just bought something (an appliance, a vehicle, an FPV drone, whatever) and it requires you to use an app, and that app is an exclusive on the shadiest App Store possible.

I would never buy such junk that it requires an app. Your decisions are your own.

hope you like signing up with all your personal data and credit card information on app stores that make Apple look like saints, because that’s where this is headed, and sadly you’ll drag me with you.

Isn't that also a problem with Apple? And any specific app? In any case I've never signed up with any app store nor am I going to.

Because again this hypothetical thing you bought might be a family member buying it, so it won’t even be up to you at that point.

I mean, it's their device, why do you care? You can educate them but you can't make the right choices for them nor can I for you.

The way to avoid it is to get rid of app stores completely, and have users download and install apps one by one. Like that’s going to happen.

Do you mean like the way everyone installs programs on Windows and has for the last two and a half decades?

Not you specifically necessarily, but my comment got quite downvoted so I figured I'd include that as a disclaimer just in case

Sad truth, but it's no excuse.

I don't click thru any EULAs. I see bad EULA - I pirate. Then if it makes any network traffic i just block that shit.

Yikes. Is the review in the screenshot true? They got root anticheat? Or rootkit data harvesting?

Event log for when it stops working?

Yeah I'm not gonna change what bathroom I go to because a bunch of fascist nonpeople called a sham trial about it.

I went to the women's loos, changing rooms etc. since I DIY'd the very hormones and puberty blockers the papers fearmonger about as a minor and will continue to use women's loos etc. now that I've had the 'permanent irreversible surgery' the public hates so much as an adult.

I had it on the NHS of course, and as a work immigrant from outside of Europe and yes - I paid the double taxes that subsidize the welfare of this sinking hateful little island for years, so I absolutely deserve it and it's just me getting some of my money's worth by accessing the appropriate healthcare for my condition, and now my condition is well treated, almost cured, and I'm doing better than ever.

If you're upset by this - cope and seethe. I'm not going anywhere. I'm a citizen now.

I advise all other trans women to do the same.

If my condition makes me a criminal then I'm a criminal. If this is radical to you, then I'm a radical.

Self-ID was/is supported by ex-Tory MP Theresa May btw. It's fairly common sense. So is NHS funding for healthcare. So is hormones and PBs for minors.

Edit: whoever replied to me, I must've blocked you in a previous thread, unsurprisingly. Doubt I'm missing much.
