The greatest tragedy of the internet is when we accepted that lies are worth more than the truth.

This is ridiculous, if I’m going to be paying like $30 for a burger the chef can suck it up and leave out the mushrooms. If you’re swapping central ingredients or being super nitpicky that’s one thing, but small modifications are fine exactly because there is a chef. It’s not a frozen food factory.

Food at people’s houses is different because it’s a gift. If I had to give Joann a $20 for my meal I wouldn’t be embarrassed to ask for a minor mod. Maybe a little but the dynamic is still different because it’s not her job.

Steamed broccoli solos

Good to hear Deadlock is doing well. TF2 is as good as always, I joined after the last major update but the community is still going strong

That went right over my head lol I forgot beer is malted

Your efforts are greatly appreciated

lmao that’s crazy

I usually encounter it in NPM packages, it’s always like “200 critical vulns in your dependencies!” and then 199 of them are “if you pass a regex bomb it takes a long time lol”

We need more data on how thick a malted milkshake needs to be before it switches between drinking snd eating

Applying label truthnuke

I disagree that bullet witch is more memorable than portal although bias and the fallacy of trying to remember unmemorable games is making it very hard to tell if that would still be true with other titles. My instinct is that uncommon, distinct words (Portal, Watchtower, Celeste) are more memorable than combinations of words that compete against each other rather than forming a whole (Bullet Witch, Star Fox, Crash Bandicoot: Twinsanity). Although now that I do have examples… I have no idea, honestly it doesn’t seem super correlated.

Yeah this one gets me

So you’re saying it can’t be closer to IRC because discord is already basically IRC except actually it’s not. So it could be closer to IRC. Bad argument.

detoxification

Isn’t it literally full of every “toxin” your kidneys removed from your bloodstream?

I was going to ask how dumb these people are and then I remembered they LITERALLY drink piss. These people vote btw.

That’s not a quirky edge case: it’s the nightmare scenario critics warned about.

Aaahhhh my ai detector is going crazy rn

I don’t want to live like this

It’s simple: I see roomba, I :3

That was a good read.

I do wish it was easier to make more nuanced statements about people’s beliefs, but labels are just so convenient, and they are the natural consequence of the true complex nature of reality needing to be collapsed into narrower concepts to make meaningful statements in language at all. It is smart to try to think beyond them if possible, which usually means making time for a longer conversation.

Not have to go to work

Yup. In this case we were all experienced, I wouldn’t dare do that to a new player lmao
