If the bread sucks, flip it, peel away the crust. Boom. Keto pizza.

There are no bad pizza toppings, and any pizza with only cheese and sauce is a wasted opportunity.

the rejection of games in liberal democratic culture

The fucking what? I’m sorry but in my experience playing video games since literally before I could read (Pokemon Yellow was a real struggle for me) the only people who have discouraged my passion for it are the conservative fucking boomers, and absolutely no one else.

The older I get the more gaming has become a legitimate hobby, accepted by more and more people. Older generations have accepted it as a much slower pace, but it’s still happening. The victimhood that these incels perceive is entirely self-imposed.

I’m more of a Der Eisendrache nerd myself, but Kino’s a solid 6/10 for sure. I mean, it’s definitely not Die Rise

I don’t have a helpful answer to your question, but wouldn’t it be better to call him something that’s actually an insult about his character rather than his vanity, like “First Felon” or “First Rapist” or something? Not that he’s the first of any of those but “First” is a descriptor commonly reserved for the White House

I could rewatch Futurama endlessly. That show is always entertaining.

I think Phineas and Ferb is also fucking excellent. The creators’ sense of humor truly gets me

Love the idea. However the reason I won’t use this is the same reason I don’t use Friendica: no one I know gives half a shit about using FOSS because it’s better for society.

Does he always hunch in a chair because he has a hunch back, or to hide his gut? Or does he have a hunch back because he always hides his gut?

I don’t have the answer but I’ve always thought it was interesting that British-English spells the filler words that Americans normally write as “uhh” or “um” as “er” or “erm”

I talked about this a lot with my partner since we had been living together for a couple of years before we decided to get married.

Marriage, to us, is really just an external expression of the love that we share and the commitment we have already made to each other. The marriage itself is not the commitment, just a statement of it. There are lots of members in our families who disagree and say that marriage itself is the commitment, but then again they’re the same ones who have been divorced or who have extremely unhealthy relationships with their spouses.

Leaning on a piece of paper with your signature on it as the reason you’re staying with someone is idiotic; paper tears extremely easily. I choose to love my partner, not because a paper tells me that I chose that long ago, but because I wake up every day and make that decision.

Why get married? I dunno, if it doesn’t mean the same thing to you, then don’t, and I say that with no judgement at all. If you care more about the person than you do about the idea if marriage (like I do) and you gain nothing from a marriage, then don’t worry about it and just focus on the person, yourself, and the relationship you both share.

“Buyer beware”

I’m not here to provide Valve with free advertising, but what do you want buyers to be wary of?

 

You know how Fenrir can selectively activate his F-NAT discs? Why can’t any other op with place-and-activate gadgets do that? The main ones that come to mind are breach charges, thermite charges, cluster charges, and gas canisters though I’m sure there are more that I’m forgetting. Imagine if you could see an icon on your HUD for all of your placed gadgets and you could look at it and select it to be the one you want to trigger. Otherwise, the triggered gadget would default to the last one you placed.

I think it would make certain OPs more useful in many different situations, like Fuze and Smoke would be great for traps, and thermite/soft breach charges would be great for distractions and chaotic rushes.

I’d like to know what the community thinks about this; would it be OP for any given gadgets? Would it be extremely useful? Would it be fun?

I know this is a really vague question, but it’s been on my mind A LOT lately. I’m specifically asking about people fighting on behalf of a group that is subject to oppression of some kind. 3 years ago, with all of the protests in America that included violence majorly against property and minorly against people but were about police brutality, I couldn’t help but question the seemingly popular notion that the violence wasn’t justified. Why wasn’t it justified? Because the police had not officially declared war on black people and other minority groups, but instead continue as an authority figure to protect and uplift their own members who do punch down on people belonging to minority groups? Because the protesters had yet to exhaust their non-violent routes? Were these protests in 2020 a retaliation or a first strike? Even if they were a first strike, was it justified?

What about Hamas? Palestine has suffered from genocide in all but name for over 70 years so does that make Hamas the aggressor or are they the ones acting in self-defense?

What about the issues with income inequality that have previously around the world led to uprisings and revolutions like in France and Russia? Were they justified even though the poor were not being constantly physically oppressed?

What about the issues with representation in government that led to the American revolution? Did those justify violence? Was the American revolution justified simply because of violent moments like the Boston massacre?

Is there a line that a group in power crosses that justifies violent revolt, or is it never justified?

Finally, I’m not burning as much energy while I queue. That’s a big win. Thank you, Ubi.
