Yeah, a lot of people are still COVID vax zealots, despite everything. It's become part of their identities, like political affiliation or religion, so even questioning it is a form of "blasphemy" to them.

Reasonable people know not to trust pharmaceutical companies or politicians, but even then, so many had a blind spot for the shots, likely due to fear (both existential and social) and propaganda.

Your opinion is bad and you should feel bad. Palestine leadership may not be great (or even good), but at least they're not actively carrying out a genocide.

That's crazy talk. You should put that idea on ICE.

We bought our own pope! Now we can inflict even more suffering on the poor!

USA! USA! USA!

Yeah, fascists are bad, but facists? I got accosted by a facist a few years ago. I still seethe when I think about how hateful he was to me simply because of my resting bitch face.

What we need is a parental figure to take Trump by the scruff of his neck and force him to apologize for what he's done.

Excepting that, I hope conscientious Americans are writing to other countries' leaders to apologize for Trump on behalf of the reasonable half of the population.

Good stuff. Important for people who want to play the game but don't want to give money to Bethesda and, by extension, their genocide-complicit parent company, Microsoft.

FYI, it's an acronym: TERF. Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist

Personally, I disagree with Rowling's views regarding trans women, but it's unfair to condemn everyone involved with making the game for the IP's creator's backwards views, especially since she had no role in its development.

But can you do a dragon punch uppercut?

Sure you can!

Look, dude, I don't have the energy to teach you in addition to my own kid at home. Improve your reading comprehension, reread my last comment, and maybe we can have a reasonable discussion.

 
 

While I agree with the message of most of the posts in this community, I must admonish y'all for your gross misuse of a positive word. It's good to be weird - a weirdo - as the alternative is being normal, and that's something everybody should strive to avoid.

In fact, I'd argue that most of the people y'all call weirdos are actually normal. And that's the problem - their shitty behavior is normalized. Co-opting "weird" to use as an insult to normal assholes only corrupts the word without adding anything of value.

It's like how "literally" is now literally its own antonym. Nobody benefits from that new definition - all it does is cause confusion.

 

It's a Tran, Zach, Shen trans action transaction.

 

I got Diablo IV last week and played a lot over the weekend. After 40+ hours (thank you, four day weekend), I realized I wasn't enjoying myself, and was just trying desperately to justify the money spent.

I intentionality avoided news about it, hoping to enjoy finding things out for myself. I now very much regret my willful ignorance. I definitely would've passed on the game if I'd known beforehand that it was effectively an MMO. Forced multiplayer, an open world with too many activities, content balanced for groups of players, endless side quests, and cookie-cutter dungeons. But hey, it has horses! And dodging!

My disappointment is immeasurable and my week is ruined.

On the bright side, it reminded me how much I love Diablo 3. I've been playing that the last couple days to get the bad taste out of my mouth.
