People are messed up, man. I’ve still had someone flat out say “that’s a gay name” to my face. About my name. Without knowing anything else about me. Weird, man. Like, I’d even accept somebody saying it out of anger in traffic as being easy to brush off. But some people, man.

To be honest though, I feel like queer people that grew up in that period and before were robbed. It sucks and I don’t really know where to place the anger properly. Definitely not on a musician though, personally.

My family, the people I grew up around, yes, but not a musician really, especially when half the time they were probably just looking for an easy rhyme, as compared to someone a foot away from my face saying they wanted to drag me behind a truck. Or saying how wrong it is to be with a guy. I’m not big on ICP but have listened to a few of their songs and if I’m being real I didn’t even notice them saying it. But the other stuff… I don’t think I’ll ever heal from.

Hm, I see what you mean, then. I’m sure choice of hardware has something to do with it. But it seems like it’s like licorice, some people like it and some people don’t. Glad you enjoy it though, that’s cool.

And software, and movies, and books, and…

I’ve had the same approach from the other side of the aisle and let me tell you, talking about open source and liberal ideals in programming would be a lot less hostile than some fundie rant.

(please please please be my prof next semester…)

And how many people are only playing console instead of pc because there are physical games for consoles still? I’m sure it has to be a good percentage.

We’re heading straight towards a cyberpunk future.

And not even a shiny, pretty, exciting one, ours is still half boring for some reason. I can’t even pin down what’s missing. It still feels like ours has wood paneling or something, but even that would be too '70s, which would still be a little cool. Maybe ours is too '90s? Our cyberpunk somehow still feels too analogue and not enough.

No, that’s like dad straight up saying “I know you need new clothes for winter, but I don’t like you and I do like drinking, so I’m going to spend our money at the bar instead.”

Saying we don’t have the money to feed the poor is at least having some shame about it.

Sounds like they’re in denial.

Man I’ve seen it used in doctors offices. I think it’s picking up a lot.

And they’re going to act like they’re sooooo slick for doing it, too.

Should be a law everywhere. No chance though.

Mmkay thank you, this is such a great thing to ask.

That’s what I don’t get though, a good thing is a good thing. It’s like when they pretended the ACA was something else instead of “obamacare” so they’d like it… We weren’t all “Ohhhhh you stuuuuuuupid Republicans, you love the ACA but it’s actually (drumroll) Obamacare in disguise!!” we were just happy more people had access to Healthcare that wasn’t going to bankrupt them.

Lol, this guy thinks that they looked at our vaccine records 😂 🤣 big dawg they gave us all the same vaccines. You don’t remember that every dude had to go through every station? It wasn’t like “OK you go through stations 1, 4, and 5 for mumps, flu, and xyz because you’ve already had xyz vaccines.” It was every dude getting every shot.

No. Just no.

This is not an “individual action will solve this” case anymore. WE can’t do jack about it, individually. If we get the corporations to stop doing harm, and the rich cut down traveling in their superjets, maybe then. But some schmuck driving a Toyota corolla a few hundred miles on a vacation, or taking a commercial passenger jet on a vacation with 100-some-odd people isn’t the problem here.

Y’all forgot RFK’s illustrious background…

Someone mentioned an app for this, there’s also one called Paprika 3 that does something similar. This one you don’t need an account to store recipes though. It can also translate weight to imperial measurements, and solve ingredient quantities for portions like 1/2, etc.

Also generally you can hit the in-page “print” button and the print version is often a one-sheet that cuts out the “my family xyz” bs. To be fair, some of those have real tips or hints or substitutions they don’t include in the recipe proper, but a lot of the time it’s just fluff as you can’t copyright recipes without significant extra steps and exposition.

Well… Yeah. It’s a headset that you wear on your head. They’re really uncomfortable. How do you not get a headache from them? How are you supposed to play a game for any meaningful amount of time? I seriously have never see a headset that wasn’t a flop or a regretted purchase for it’s audience. The “metaverse” crashed and burned, if VR was such a promising innovation, wouldn’t it have done well?

VR is just the new version of the same thing that was happening with every iteration of “3D” whatever over the past 80 years or so. It’s always the next best thing and right around the corner, but in this instance the premise is just flawed. A lot of people are still “social” when they game, talking to family, texting people, pausing to watch a video or go get something to eat.

Edit: And just looking up the ram: 16 gigs?? Aside from that, it’s intended for streaming games from a main pc, do most people even have internet that’s fast enough to handle that? Iirc in the US at least the government and companies have been dodging defining what “high speed” is because most of the country doesn’t have access to it. And the resolution specs seem great, but what FPS would it be at? I gotta hazard a guess that it’d be at 30 or so for most modern games.
