I'm opening an issue on your ticket tracker to add filesystem i/o. Let the nightmare commence

Vibe check is your scope declaration (class?)

num is obviously your int class

fr? is your Boolean class

if __ no cap is ' if __ then', if cap is 'else', sheesh ends the conditional

flex __ on the haters is your echo/print

frfr is your scope ending

I am now! Just edited

Ok this is a super fascinating intersection of American social history

So the first thing you have to always keep in mind when thinking about Americans and their behavior is that the country was founded by people so absurdly religious that the British kicked them out. Then, along with some wealthy land owners, they said "fuck off" right back to the crown, declared "no take-backs", and went on about 100 years of aggressive westward expansion.

If you're not familiar with the phrase "manifest destiny" it's worth looking up. It's fundamental to American society

Fast forward a bit to post-WWII and the economic boom of the time. "The American Dream" - and the promise to our returning soldiers - was owning your own house with a yard, wife, kids, dog, and a car. And given our history, and the return of thousands and thousands of young men from the war, that kinda became the measuring stick of basic success: moving out.

And of course since America is the land of opportunity, if you can't do even that much, you've only got yourself to blame /s

We all know the meme of "striking out on your own" as a symbol of maturity. This is just what happens when "striking out on your own" becomes a cultural identity

Outrage-bait drives traffic. What you're seeing is the same amount bad behavior over time being made much more visible by people who seek to profit from the misery, along with an overall increase in our willingness to discuss the issues

True ignorance is the ability to look a contradicting reality in the face and declare your own correctness anyway. I hope one day you get better at learning from your experiences

Ok but actually? I'm an original backer with nothing but the original dinky ship and I'm still waiting for a game worth playing for the money I already spent. Haven't looked in a year or two.

Is squadron 42 even playable end to end yet?

Your attitude betrays your passion. This level of anger is abnormal for the subject of cosmetics in early access games, even for empathetic people. I give both time and money to charity and I'm nowhere near your level of angry and emotional over cosmetics.

Whether you'll admit it or not, something happened to make you this emotionally sensitive to this particular issue. I'm curious what it was

This sounds personal. Who hurt you?

Yeah see that's absurd

Do they sell expansions? Or just ships? I'm on original basic backer and don't even know lol

Yeah that's what I was talking about. I have no problem with this. I mean, I won't buy any of it, but cosmetic artists and riggers aren't the same people who do level design and shit.

If you want to show me someone selling, like, an expansion for $20 on an early access game then I'll be incredulous with you. But that link is just typical bad business. No reason for Valve to get involved banning it or whatever

I've never seen a game in early access have dlc, only micro transactions for stuff like cosmetics and boosts. Can you give me an example of dlc on an early access game?

I didn't realize he was a prolific kids author! TIL!

I'm always torn: I'd never stop someone from reading a book "too early" but I also don't want someone to, fot example, miss out on a great character romance story because they already read the book for the action when they were 11

There is a large selection of Japanese light novels that are being translated into English. This is where a lot of the original source material for anime comes from. The anime is often created to sell the books, in fact.

There's a lot of stuff that won't be appropriate until they hit 13yo or so, but my nephew, a voracious reader, started reading LNs around 10.

Spice & Wolf is a personal favorite that might be a good fit. They will miss out on the romantic subplot but that's only a small part of the story

I don't think Terry Pratchett is appropriate for a 10y/o if only because it's a huge waste; they won't understand more than 10% of the jokes

This is such a complicated question because it gets into the origins of religion and belief systems in general, but also power and class struggles, economics, social psychology and propaganda, and more.

Lots of people haven't been properly educated Lots of people have been indoctrinated Lots of people have a reason to exploit the beliefs of others Lots of people value comfort and community above scientific accuracy or consistency

Can you refine your question a bit?

If there is, the word for it is definitely German

Acting funny, but I don't know why... 'Scuse me while I kiss the sky kiss this guy
