Yeah, I had no idea what was going on until I read this comment.

Upon closer inspection the stripe is clearly white on the first image, but the second one really threw me off because it looks the same color as the floor. I’m also slightly colorblind so that probably doesn’t help.

I’m personally a fan of the 12 hour format for casual conversation and 24h for anything else. 4 PM or 4 in the afternoon sounds better than 16:00 for casual speak imo.

But man, I’m bad with the 24h format lol. I often need to consciously correct myself in that 18:00 =/= 8 PM.

It’s okay, they only whip cows that are into that, otherwise they wouldn’t cream.

(I copied this from my other comment, but it was very relevant to this one so I figured I’d say it here too.)

I do not mean to. I know its an issue and more attention needs to be brought to it because too many people—especially other men—don’t take it seriously at all and can even treat it as a good thing. I just don’t think now is the time to bring it up.

In a vacuum like that it sounds bad, yes. That wasn’t the entire context though. What I do think women raping men is irrelevant to is the topic of women being too afraid to give compliments to random men in fear of getting assaulted. Which is the whole reason rape was brought up in the first place.

Like, the other comment said I marginalized half the population. I do not mean to. I know its an issue and more attention needs to be brought to it because too many people—especially other men—don’t take it seriously at all and can even treat it as a good thing. I just don’t think now is the time to bring it up.

Completely unrelated but I just want to say you have a good taste in pokemon.

You’re not wrong! Also not super relevant here. This is like responding “all lives matter” to a black lives matter comment. Well, maybe not that bad, but I hope you get my point.

Yup, Skyrim is the big one for me too. I also fiddled with FO4 for a while, but nothing keeps me coming back like Skyrim… or at least, its nexus page. If I had an hour tracker on mod organizer 2, I’m sure I’d overtake my playtime in the actual game by at least 10x.

I also create private mod packs for my friends and I to play numerous games. Minecraft, Lethal Company, R.E.P.O., Risk of Rain 2, and more. Fortunately for those last three, I never really scrap my mod packs and instead build upon them constantly as new mods or updates come out. Which I do perhaps a little too much, because I get poked fun at for it now lol.

One thing I’ve come to appreciate is how detailed nexus mod pages tend to be compared to most other websites. Half the mods for games like Lethal Company or RoR2 don’t even have any pictures or detailed descriptions of what they do. I’ll hear about a really neat mod in the Lethal Company modding discord server and then check out its page just to see “adds a couple new items and enemies” and that’s the entire page.

Often, I will reread the same paragraph a dozen times because I either fail to comprehend it, or because I can’t help my mind from wandering. Sometimes my mind will wander to thinking about what might happen next, instead of just reading it.

If its a book or subject I’m really enjoying, this is a process I don’t mind and even like doing. It’s okay to just let your imagination run sometimes. But if it’s a boring book, or it’s something I’m totally uninterested in like required reading back in school, it’s miserable and I’ve never been able to do it.

Unfortunately this means I’m terrible at research unless it’s something I’m super interested in at the moment.

Doing this used to annoy me, but I’ve come to accept that the modding bit is just a hobby of mine. I enjoy the process of research, troubleshooting, and time spent finding, installing, and configuring mods. Then I’ll play the game for a bit, maybe complete the first quest or something, and then it will sit untouched for the next year before I eventually uninstall it for storage.

Yeah good catch, I used the completely wrong word there.

The capybara with airpods, lol. Are capybaras particularly popular with Gen Z?

It’s interesting to me to see the airpods aren’t even in its ears, which I take as the LLM not recognizing that the capybara’s ears are ears. Or maybe it doesn’t recognize that airpods belong in ears, and just sees that it generally goes on the side of the head where ears usually are. It really is fascinating technology, shame it’s used in the way it is.

Oh wow, Xbox 360 Minecraft. That just unlocked some childhood memories. I no longer have a 360, or I’d gladly be playing it too. I guess I could look into emulators instead.

I vaguely remember seeing mods for Java edition that exist to bring old nostalgic Minecraft elements like the whole Xbox 360 UI and the old janky ass world gen to modern versions. I really ought to look into them at some point.

Ah yes, classic “everyone but me is the problem”.

Overreaction of the century right there.

Exactly. Its not about convincing non-believers, its about constantly reminding believers “you’re right, atheists just want to sin, no need to think about it”.

This one was always really funny to me. As if their supposed god himself hasn’t explicitly commanded (and even committed) both of these sins on numerous occasions.

I doubt it. Surely there would have been some sort of sign.

This was me a few hours ago with the word incentivize. I had to try like 4 times before I got it right, and even then I looked it up before sending the message just to be safe.

TBF, her original comment was about being able to beat up strippers in GTA5, not about T&A specifically. Not that the context makes it any better. You can beat up just about anything in GTA, taking issue with specifically the strippers is just looking for things to be mad about.
