Good. Now do something about homeopathy. I'm so sick of having to explain to people that homeopathy is not medicine in any shape or form. It's not even a home remedy. And it sits right next to actual medicine so people might accidentally buy it unwittingly.

Anyone have any general anesthetic I can borrow?

Hands you a beer

Here ya go, buddy.

I get what you're saying but the forgetful customer is explicitly what they said they want, which is dumb any way you look at it. Many times you're forced into signing up for subscription, or coerced under the guise of a free trial. Now this wouldn't be as bad if they came back and were like, "hey we see you haven't used our service in a while, do you still need it?" rather than just leeching money from the user. The system is designed to purposely allow the user to make these errors and that's wrong any way you want to shape it.

Fage is definitely my favorite yogurt. I'm always like "how the fuck is this so God damn good? It has virtually no sugar or anything added"

Also in case you didnt know, for many reduced fat items they just end up adding more sugar.

Stop Tucker, I was already voting for Kamala.

"If buying isn't owning, pirating isn't stealing."

I heard this before and it is becoming more true each day.

I worked at Amazon and the head of Ring said their best customers were people who bought a subscription and then put the camera in a drawer and forgot about it. They don't even want to provide you a service. They want you to absentmindedly give them money every month because you forgot to cancel.

You should. The next time you want to use it, it'll probably do some bullshit. Better to be rid of it now than be coerced into giving HP money in the future. If you need a printer, replace it with whatever Brother laser printer is on sale at the moment.

The most surprising thing is it wasn't United Airlines itself beating up the passenger.

I never buy games before reviews but bought KSP2 early access. It was so bad I returned it less than four hours later. I joke they put more effort into the ads than the game itself.

I think what really confused me is that I saw a demo of KSP2 at PAX East several years ago. The game we got looked no different than that demo. I was like, wtf have they been doing all this time?

I don't know about that. KSP has a mod that adds N-Body physics so it's not some momumental obstacle.

You're on GUUUUUAAAAAAARRRRD

This reminds me of the pumpkin carved with the tip screen... in other words absolutely horrifying.

Oh, you probably should have opened with that.

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and say you live in a place with rampant voter suppression that makes voting difficult.

I spent all of 60 seconds voting by mail. But even if I were to go vote in person, it's never taken me more than ten or fifteen minutes, including travel time.

But I know there are some places where people are forced to stand in lines for hours. This is why we need voter protection laws.

Edit: Just saw your comment that says you're not American. My comment still stands.

Did you just pull a "No I'm not, you are!"

Dude, wow... just, wow.

Dont lie. You would never have considered my point. Because you're more concerned about being "right" than actually changing your viewpoint.

Ive presented straight up facts. Also note that you didn't even refute my argument. You are not a black person. Ask yourself how I could know this. Then try to understand how little of your own thoughts are actually yours.

Maybe if you do that you'll learn to deprogram yourself. But hey, I get it. It's easier to blame other people for your shortcomings.

I won't respond any more to any further arguments on your part.

FFS dude, even a casual look at a dictionary would tell you that it is, in fact, a slur.

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/Negro

Even the most non-offensive definitions of "Negro" incorrectly describe it as a different race, as if black people were not human. So even in the BEST POSSIBLE CONTEXT you're still using it as a racial slur.

I can also say with 100% certainty that you are not black. Only non-black racists try to claim that Negro is not a racial slur.

Sword fight? Fanning at each other, crossing and smacking swords. Maybe even walking around each other. I don’t think that’s how a real sword fight would look.

In real life most sword fights would be over in seconds with no more than three moves. BUT obviously that's not very visually appealing so we get insane sword clashes with lots of unnecessary movement and the infamous "sword lock" where the swordsmen needlessly press into each other for that dramatic tension despite that being something that is never, ever done.

Interestingly enough, one of the BEST sword fights in cinema is in The Princess Bride. It manages to be dynamic and engaging and lengthy without giving into a lot of bad swordfighting tropes. This is a great rundown of the scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0rkUbrPo3k

For the same reason they can't/shouldn't put any other racist slurs in the title. Duh.

Just for clarification, I fully agree with the censorship. I just agree that at first glance it looks like they used the OTHER N word, which is what the first was saying when he mentioned "clickbait".
