Looks like Please, Don’t Touch Anything on steroids

Games are art. I have full respect for an artist who does not compromise their vision for someone who refuses to engage with the art, on the artists terms.

A lot of people played The Witcher 3 and thought the combat was boring, but never spent time preparing for battle by considering which oils and potions to use - because they didn’t need to. They were playing on easy or normal.

These people robbed themselves of the experience of immersing themselves in the role of a Witcher, and turned each encounter into a button masher.

Imagine being a developer and seeing people shit on your game for ‘unengaging combat’.

Now, sure, you can make the argument that that’s just one element of The Witcher 3, and some people are playing for the story - and fair enough.

But there isn’t anything analogous in the Souls franchise. The gameplay IS bashing your head against a wall for ten hours. You don’t get to just turn down the difficulty, breeze through every boss on the first try, and claim the game is boring.

Social pressures I suppose.

Where’s my upstream explicit sync lads

So, where do they go? Do they evaporate? Or something?

Paragraphs are your friends

While I agree with you, I don’t think this is the right way to go about it.

For what it’s worth, both sides of the vaccine debate need to make some concessions.

While the vaccines should have been taken by every healthy person to protect those who cannot be vaccinated, they didn’t deliver the promise of reducing transmission, only lowered the severity of illness (obviously still a good thing).

Also, the listed side effects, while being mild compared to the fullblown effects of covid, were not well understood and many people had symptoms like myocarditis after getting the Pfizer vaccine.

The other side, however, has a lot more concessions to make. The vaccines were nowhere near as dangerous as they claimed.

The claim that they were “experimental” is kind of interesting. It’s technically not true because they did have clinical trials. However, mRNA based vaccines were approved for the first time in many countries to immunise against COVID.

Many of these health regulators didn’t have the luxury of auditing these new styles of vaccine with their own establish policies and timelines.

My takeaway is this: Virologists say there will be another pandemic eventually, and COVID was a dress reversal.

As deadly as COVID was, it is very mild compared to some of the natural viruses we are aware of and could potentially hop species.

If we are to prepare for that, we need to iron this shit out before then. We cannot be bickering about whether it is against “muh freedom”. We need to be considerate of others, even at the expense of our comfort.

Bold of you to assume I’ll remember to check my shopping list.

I don’t know whether to upvote or downvote.

I wouldn’t want the wrong kind of attention drawn here.

But I think if people have FB accounts that should look for this and report the fuck out of it.

No, I think you were right the first time, when you said you don’t know what I mean.

Wait, what?

That’s like saying you don’t have to drive faster to win the race, you just have to cross the line first.

I’m pretty much on board, though how much anyone can agree is a matter of relativity.

We know about the closest stars and the planets within them, and based off spectrometry, we’re confident the planets “close” to us haven’t had life, though they might be capable.

The chances of there being no mass extinction events in the millions of years following abiogenesis is arguably smaller than surviving the five or so we’ve had. Given everything we know about astrophysics, we owe the asteroids a few clean hits, we have been astronomically lucky, and that’s not even taking into consideration every other cause of mass extinction.

15 billion years is still considered early in the grand scheme of things, it’s likely that we are the early ones. A billion years head start is plausible, sure, but it’s certainly less plausible than our existence.

All of this is to say that life is rare enough without them being a stones throw away.

And this is all disregarding any possible intent behind a visit. Any being capable of space travel does not need our resources.

Unless they’re sex tourists, which would explain all the anal probing.

On second thought, I choose to believe.

You sound like a cunt, and I mean that in the nicest possible way.

Don’t talk to people so condescendingly, if you don’t know what I mean, then ask me to clarify, instead of creating a strawman.

Kinda surprising given the knowledge we have that teens even want to use it.

I hope the next generation of teenagers think social media is cringe boomer shit (because now, it basically is).

I mean… The child never saw who gave birth to them, so there’s that…

It’s not technically Isekai

The chances of extra terrestrial life to have visited earth is very, very small.

The chances of life to occur are small enough,

The chances of evolution to pass through multiple extinction events and producing a being capable of higher intelligence is even smaller,

The chances they have done this faster than humans is smaller still,

The chances they have evolved close enough to us to have visited is near impossible.

The universe is huge, there’s almost certainly life elsewhere - but to ask whether they visited earth is like speculating on whether ghosts exist.

Also the universe is expanding at such a fast rate that unless we develop faster-than-light tech, we will never reach another solar system.

This happened to me.

On the “Mario Kart Tour” sub, I made a meme during the games “Election” event. I made vague but obvious comparisons to Trump/Mario Vs Biden/Luigi.

Everyone in the comments were having fun, there was no complaining, and the post even reached the homepage.

Then the fucking mods deleted my shit and pissed the community off. I got universal support and the sub was filled with posts requesting the mods to undelete my meme.

In the end, the mods were cunts.

Fucking clowns.

Pretty much. Pubes make oral sex less comfortable. Nothing worse than trying to navigate a clit and there’s a hair rolling around on my tongue. I either awkwardly spit it out as discreetly as possible, or pluck it out of my mouth - neither are sexy distractions
