It must be wild to be so incapable and/or afraid of thinking for yourself... You people are fucking crazy 🤣

I mean, he does kinda gives me some 'Cybertruck if it were a human' vibes now that you mention it...

Yiff in hell furf-

Wait, what

I fucking WISH Trump was anywhere near as coherent as an LLM

Ok, and...? Do you have a point of some kind here, or are we just going to simplistically cut semantic hairs and call it a day? Cuz if it's gonna be the latter, I don't really even understand the point of commenting to begin with since we're apparently just going to go over vocabulary instead of, say, discussing... oh, I dunno, the actual point?

(The actual point of the conversation - and today's vocabulary word, coincidentally - is ETHICS. ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ )

... I am not a clever man.

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I am soooo fucking sick to death of everything needing to be 'open world' (for some reason) that I could puke. Sure, some games may benefit from - or hell, even be downright enriched in some manner by - their use, but outside of a few, notable exceptions (Elden Ring and RDR1/2, in particular, spring to mind, for example) when I see a studio touting their "new and improved, expansive, X times bigger, blahblahblah" open world, all I can think is two things:

1. There will almost certainly be no more than five types (and likely significantly less, tbh) of copy/paste activity I'll be expected to engage in shotgunned haphazardly across the map. The studios that go 'above and beyond' MIGHT attempt to switch things up a bit by slightly altering building or adversary layouts in places, but that's usually a 'best case scenario' kinda thing, and you'll probably be fortunate to end up with some sort of palette swap. How compelling, eh?
2. I'm going to be subjected to either a veritable fuckton of bland, faceless NPC's with an equally bland line or two of 'dialogue' that is ultimately meaningless or a flimsy pretext to go over there somewhere for... reasons... or a handful or so of them that are inexplicably absolutely VITAL to (or otherwise the impetus behind) everything that is plot - which they have a flimsy pretext for, natch.

Look, I played WoW back in the day already. If I really desperately wanted to waste dozens of hours of my time delivering imaginary packages to forgettable people, or being sent in search of someone who is the only one who can help stop BBEG/the apocalypse/whatever - and will totally help, but need a favor first... Ugh - then I'd go back to the good ol' WoW treadmill. I left that shit behind because I was sick of it all just feeling like checkmarks someone had to tick off somewhere to appease the C-Suite douchenozzles that don't understand why we can't add in a battlepass. (Those are SOOO hot right now!)

This comment leads me to believe that you haven't had much 'up close and personal' experience with cancer... (Not trying to talk down to you in saying that or anything, btw, though you're super fortunate if that's indeed the case.)

Just for reference: during the early 00's I would get a bill for somewhere around $10k each month for my dad's chemo infusions alone. This went on for at least 2 - 3 years, if memory serves, which - for those who aren't keeping score at home - ended up totalling nearly $500k by the time he died.

Obviously, not every treatment is created (or priced) equally, but... I think you can probably see what I'm getting at, anyway

Maybe this is just an oversimplification on my part, but I think of it like this: Say that my INSERT RELEVANT FAMILY MEMBER HERE spends weeks/months/decades of their life violently oppressing a population just beating the absolute shit out of someone(s) in order to gain - or maintain - some sort of benefit. I'm fully aware of this activity, yet still have no problems availing myself of these clearly ill-gotten gains year after year. Have I committed any crimes? Yeah, maybe I was, say, married to a dictator who did, but... How responsible am I?

To put it another way: If you saw someone attempting to attack/stab/etc someone else across the street from you, do you feel that you have a moral imperative to call 911 even if you do not personally know either party (having no political power or responsibility, say)?

"All that is required for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing..."

I started on 10mg of Medikinet Retard

Well that escalated quickly at a controlled, regular rate...?

Hey, he bought and paid for it fair and square. He can run it into the ground as hard and fast as he wants.

Fr tho, who the fuck claims to have a 'favorite letter' to even begin with? Talk about the cringelord final boss...

'Great Replacement Theory', huh?

Business men doing... Business?

That would imply some form of justice being done, so...

Which just so happens to be the perfect segue for me to pitch my proposal to make 'cunt' the de facto (gender neutral, naturally) pronoun/collective pronoun.

I find your assertion that anything resembling "thinking" may occur at any point with such people either very generous or quite naive 😋

I agree with most of this, but how have you never come across Munch's "The Scream" before? (Have to admit, I lol'd at your description of it tho)
