That reminds me of men's haircuts. If you're sticking to traditional short hair you basically just walk in and go... Okay, how much longer do I want the top than the sides and do I want a fade or a hard line? And that's pretty much it.

Going for longer hair as a guy just gives you so many more options.

I sympathize with that. I work with two ftm trans and even though they pass pretty well you just know not everyone is going to let that go and they probably have to deal with people giving them weird looks, or even obviously looking for too long trying to guess at what gender they are.

And even when you have friends that understand and love you people can misgender accidentally by no malicious fault of their own, and even apologizing and working on that doesn't make it any less awkward and a call to attention. It's an every day difficulty in a lot of ways, especially in public.

This was the most hilarious discussion I've ever witnessed on the internet, especially because you guys included links and quoted the article better than another "more serious" arguments I've seen.

This is a good one, but I think it's not all shame. Concealing farts in public is a game of skill. You must consider how to position your body so that no sound is made. How quiet is the area you're in? Are there others around who could conceal the true farter? Are you able to discreetly move to another location so that by the time the smell arrives you're no longer a suspect?

You also take into account your last eaten foods and recent farts and how they may result in large smell or sometimes no smell. It's a big game of strategy and execution to be a covert farter.

Agreeing with that. Man, remember having to rewind the thing when you were done so the next watch was ready? Or realizing that it wasn't rewound when you wanted to watch it and having to do it yourself?

Or thinking that you were about to watch a certain movie but someone taped over top of it? Good times...

You're right about moderation, but I think it's actually not an easy feat for someone to have really well-tuned common sense when it comes to tone over text. I know a lot of people in real life who text like total dismissive assholes, and if I didn't actually know them I'd think they were being dickwads because they speak in real life completely different to how they type online.

Since ebooks have taken over my casual text consumption, would you say Discworld is accessible enough to just go from the beginning? There's a lot of books in there, but I wouldn't mind having all that to cruise through over a long term.

Oh God I'm really out of my depth here... Republican fascists?

For someone who didn't even know that 196 was a thing until I got to the Fediverse, and who only knows it as a community that posts random pics, what is a vaushite?

You could probably argue something like that, but perpetuating something so deeply rooted in racism isn't worth it when the payoff is... Meme funnies.

Agreed. I miss things about reddit with its communities. There are parts of that browsing experience that a smaller userbase is simply unable to replace.

At the same time I have too much disgust with what happened to go crawling back because I need my content fix like some kind of addict. I mainly enjoyed Reddit for the long story posts on things like AskReddit or HobbyDrama, but it's not like Reddit has a monopoly on "lots of text you can read".

I've swapped over to reading ebooks instead, which I had entirely ceased doing since Reddit, and it's been wonderful getting back in touch with that. After all these years I'd somehow never read the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, for example, so as one door closes another opens. It's no true replacement, I did prefer the short story style of AskReddit and HobbyDrama, but it's not bad enough that I'll lose sight of why I left.

Dammit, you got me with the froggy chair. I don't care for politics whatsoever, but as long as you come in with the froggy chair you'll have something worthy.

I only used Reddit before this, I don't use any other social media because I really prefer text based discussion. Forum formats are the closest I feel like you can get to really talking with someone when it comes to social media.

That being said, the anonymity makes it hard to have decent discussion without half the comments coming off overly self-assured, snarky, or just plain dickish, so it's still not really truly "discussions". Not that I'm free of that sin, we all succumb sometimes.

As the rulemaker I'd say that's fair game, but you'd have to keep them strapped to your pajamas otherwise that's when you'd need to find a spot.

Even then my hallucinations were informed by memories and events from my life, people, or sounds.

It's hard to even know if seeing pure geometry is an original thought. I don't actually think a truly original thought is possible. Everything takes from everything else, in some small way, and builds on it.

Make it so that when you arrive home you're never allowed to put your keys in the same place more than once.

Forgot something in the car and have to go back out? Time to find a new spot...

No, he also stole a bunch of copies and sold them. A good few thousand dollars worth.

Seems sort of weird. They say "when we make a deal we expect prioritization of AMD features" but that they don't explicitly say you can't add DLSS. I think that's too much grey area to say for sure, especially when the one saying it is on one side.

Christ, theft of property "$2,500-$10,000". That's a lot of copies.

He'll only tell you what the job duties are AFTER you're hired and YOU have to pay to be hired? For $10/hr? Even if that wasn't a straight up scam I wouldn't invest time, money, and effort into signing up and doing onboarding if I didn't know what the hell I was doing.

Hard to say exactly what's going on there with that little info, though.

I actually have not even played it, but I've heard it's been much improved, correct me if I'm wrong though it's still different from literally Fallout 4 with other players. For example, are there multiple long faction storylines, large populated cities with many side quests, a few radio stations, caravans, morality or faction reputation, bobbleheads, basically every major and minor feature in a standard Bethesda Fallout.

If it's been updated enough times and in the right directions to include all that stuff, then awesome. I was by no means saying it was a bad game, I just want to know if it's seamlessly a Bethesda title through and through with other players or if it's still Fallout in a different direction.

Are you able to enjoy the world privately with only players you choose without any DLC or microtransactions based restrictions on construction or storage, mod support so long as each player maintain the same modlist, etc.?
