  • I can never get a vasectomy, I just can't say what will happen in the future. Suppose there's' some sort of societal collapse, man becomes an endangered species, and I somehow end up captured by a tribe of busty amazonian women who want to use me as a breeder, just constant and frequent encounters with different women every night. However, they check to see if I'm still fertile and realize I had a vasectomy, then they kill me and eat me. I can't take that chance.

  • Yeah, I try to limit it, but occasionally there will be some half-ass historical event or fact that I remember as part of my argument and I'll go to look it up and realize the actual facts of the matter contradict whatever point I was trying to make. So then I just delete the comment and move on, "Well... I guess I didn't have anything to say about that after all."

  • It happens all the time, but it's usually because I realize that either:

    • I'm not as invested or informed on the topic as I thought I was and just don't have anything meaningful to contribute
    • whatever joke I was writing up didn't sound as funny to me after I actually wrote it out
    • it took too long to write, did some basic research and realized I didn't know what I was talking about
    • it took too long to write, I got distracted by something, and by the time I got back to it I had stopped caring
    • something happens to the post I was responding to or my connection, page resets/refreshes and I've lost whatever the thing was midway through, I'm not typing all that again
    • realize I'm going to say something not very PC and I know the exact responses I'll get, "Nah, I don't care enough about this."
  • 1/3rd of voters voted for Trump, a 1/3rd voted for Harris, and a 1/3rd just couldn't be bothered to vote. It's not that Trump got a groundswell of support (he got +1million more than 2020, not a huge increase), it's that Harris didn't get the same number of votes as Biden got, she got around 7 million less votes than Biden got. It's that Democrat voters didn't turn out in the numbers they needed to.

  • This is going to fuck up the healthcare industry (along with many others) and it's going to hit alot of Americans hard. There's millions of immigrant home health aides across the country that help care for mentally disabled and elderly Americans. Start taking away those aides and suddenly you've got Americans struggling to find anybody to watch their family members, causing them to have to choose between work and caring for a relative. It's going to be a shitshow if they actually follow through with this.

    The only silver lining I can see is that it might actually open Americans' eyes to how much they actually need immigrants after everything goes to shit, but I'm sure the ignorant will just go on to blame some other group for the resulting fallout.

  • I’ve been doing that here lately, just bouncing from game to game to game. Despite having hundreds of games in my Steam library, just feeling burnt out I think. Trying to move back to my unloved boardgames more to switch it up some. Sometimes you don’t need to force it, take a break and find something else to do for awhile until the interest comes back.

  • Shyea right, nice try NSA, like I would ever tell you about that time on September 27, 2012, 3:03 am, Jefferson Dr in Bowling Green, Ohio, when I was driving drunk and veered around a corner, slamming into someone walking along the road. Or that the pedestrian is killed instantly and I sped away without calling 9-1-1. You think I’d rat myself out like that?

  • I'm assuming it's because they really only have a single neighboring country, the US. Despite the Fallout games, I doubt that the US invasion/annexation of Canada is even seen as a remote possibility, or something that they could really ever meaningfully oppose were the US to even try it. There's just no need to maintain a ridiculously large military when you're neighbors with the country that has the largest military spending on Earth anyways, may as well just spend your money on your people.

  • They got like 1–2% more votes than Harris got and only got ~1 million votes over 2020. Had Harris gotten the same number of votes as Biden she would’ve won. It’s not that the country went more Conservative, it’s that Democrat voters are unreliable and failed to come out. There’s hardly a “mandate” to speak of, these people are still weird as shit, nothing changed.

  • They’re an easy minority to scapegoat. In the US they make up between 0.5% and 1.6% of the population. A sizable portion of straight people associate being transgender as something sick and weird and a sexual deviancy, so it’s easy to target them and to try to associate them with actual objectively bad things (ie pedophilia). They’re just people trying to find their place in the world and live their lives, same as most of us.
