They will have removed no fault divorce across a number of Republican states within the next four years, and none of those states will be investigating rape allegations inside a legal marriage.

So are we going with Lem-stralia, Lem-Rok Nor, or Lem-giers as our colony name?

Not to be annoying, but can someone please ELI5 how kernel level anti-cheat software actually works, or link good resources where I can read about it.

I really think it all boils down to the regressive thought prison that permeates religious culture, and anything that is adjacent to it. Asmongold himself has stated on many occasions that he was raised in a Roman Catholic environment even though he personally rebelled against it.

However, when everyone you are around in society still uses the same flawed logic pathways, lacks critical thinking skills, and perpetuates the hegemonic in-group dynamics that surround that religious world-view you are still personally psychologically affected by it even if you don’t subscribe to the religious component of it.

That’s the even more nefarious, pernicious, and hidden damage caused by promulgating religious culture is that it makes being willfully ignorant not only permissable, but REQUIRED in order to conform to the group identity. I can see how that influence has literally broken his brain in ways he appears to not even be consciously aware of yet.

We’ll see if this wakes him up, or drives him further into his echo-chamber in an attempt to avoid the painful process of overcoming cognitive dissonance. Only time will tell, but I will admit the deck is stacked against him when he has such a massive financial incentive to resist developing a more mature, nuanced worldview.

Personally I think he actually wants to be a decent person deep down, but the environment he built for himself has led to a self-reinforcing manifestation of the macro-scale social problems that are plaguing young men in this generation. For that reason I don’t hate Asmongold because I believe he is still reachable, and has the opportunity to have a moral arc that could potentially help a lot of people if he was willing to do the work of real self-actualization.

Oh man, I swear I saw the weight from a Kusarigama. I have been waiting with baited breath for another game to deploy my favorite weapon from Nioh. I’m extremely hyped for this. I hope they introduce some more RPG-ish elements too.

I’m moderately offended that I haven’t been banned yet. It’s giving “the last one picked for kickball” vibes. I want to speak to the fucking manager of c/vegan immediately!

This is my number one pick as well. Just keep it the fuck away from Disney.

I was just thinking about Splinter Cell the other day. It’s crazy how every single third person game turned into a “souls-like”. It seems like we used to get such better diversity in game genres.

Don’t forget Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 3.

Conventional brick and mortar retail is extremely expensive to maintain. It has less to do with Amazon specifically, and more to do with the rise of online retail & direct to consumer business models more generally. Don’t get me wrong, Amazon was a huge pioneer in that area, but it would have happened one way or another.

So long Steam. We had a good run, but I guess it is finally time for Phil Spencer to take you out behind the woodshed.

the memes were better.

[X] Doubt

I dare one of them to show up to my front door. They are going to be in for a fucked up conversation that will make them second guess their life choices.

The one thing I have noticed is the proliferation of overly niche communities rather than congregating in larger hubs and then organizing into smaller communities as the userbase scales.

Truth x Facts

Any interest in playing with another player? I’m looking for a server currently, and would be interested in playing with some fellow Lemmings.

This was fantastic information. Thank you so much for taking the time to respond to my post, I sincerely appreciate it.

I actually came from a previous retail background as well, and built a small business from 1 location making $1.5 million annually to four locations making $20 million annually in 6.5 years. The owner made the decision to sell the business after surviving all of the stress during COVID, and that is what started me back on my education journey.

I developed basically every system in that business myself from the ground up, through blood sweat and tears. So for this next chapter of my life I am looking to take my career more in the tech mercenary direction for lack of a better term where I am out to focus on developing my own skills in order to live the life I want to live on my own terms as much as is reasonably possible.

So, your advice really resonates with me, and was an extremely valuable addition to my thought process.

Thank you for your response. I think my main concern with no acquiring a degree is being taken seriously as a candidate for jobs. I also want to make sure that I set myself up for success my acquiring the foundational knowledge that will allow me to be a quick efficient learner as I am presented with opportunities to learn new technologies. I will take this advice under advisement though, and make sure that I am being a good consumer in how I spend my money. I am definitely looking to maximize my return on investment, and cut out all the fluff from the education process where possible.
