One more bit of context; many hollywood movies have a male internal monologue used as a narration device. So it’s also technically stereotypically a male thing (even though I have no idea if it is actually related to sex at all). Fight club comes to mind as a prime example.

I find it incredibly stupid when people blame the forests when they have a problem with a specific tree. And that’s just the most sympathetic take on why he posted this in the first place.

No sympathy for this guy at all.

FTFY.

Fair to say it’s only a sign when it starts to happen regularly.

Yeah. That’s my personal indicator that there’s something wrong with my work setup; avoiding doing the thing that leads to the unpleasant parts. I guarantee he started hiding in his car after the relationship issues began.

Nope. It’s a trans-generational ploy since time immemorial. The worst ones are the bosses who ask you to stay so they don’t have to go home, but it can happen to anyone.

Valve’s better than Epic Games, but they still have every incentive to keep users in their ecosystem with DRM.

Very true.

Thats why Proton on the Steam Deck only works with Steam running in the background.

Lmao what? You have proof for this? It’s just as likely that it was easier to do it the way they did.

It really is always crazy to see the different perspectives. I’ve actually unsubscribed from a channel for the bad quality youtube put on all their 1080p videos. I’m also still eagerly awaiting the slomo guys bluray release of their greatest hits.

Well, that, and vhs is one of those things that is fun to play with. It’s never going to be perfect, and that’s enough to keep people like me coming back to see what new improvements I can make to my vhs setup this time.

New blurays are 30-50 each. New DVDs are 5 or less, each. Libraries usually have bigger dvd collections than bluray collections. People use what they can afford, not what is best.

The fediverse has been getting a rash of these types of comics designed to specifically widen the online gender divide with seemingly innocuous comics.

Make no mistake, this comic in particular is not bad, and has already engendered some good discussion. The issue is these brand new accounts posting one or two comics about how men suck, or women suck, or whatever, and then leaving.

I think the general consensus was that he was weird and creepy, but we didn’t actually have proof that he was a pederast.

Sorta like the creepy old man in the van down by the river; nobody saw him do anything weird so he’s not in jail, but everyone and their mothers makes sure he doesn’t ever get any alone time with a vulnerable person.

Their service was genuinely good for the short time I used it. You’ll note in my post that I would still recommend it to anyone who doesn’t plan on doing more than average browsing and light torrenting.

They just wanted an excuse to cut me off since I made more use of it than the average person likely does, and their ‘unlimited’ advertising means you can’t actually know what their real limits are.

For what it’s worth, I’ve been enjoying the heck out of AirVPN since then, with absolutely no issues.

It really is a great dynamic pose the artist made here.

That’s so badass. Would love to see a video of all the nitty gritty details about it.

I’m just waiting for bell bottom pants to come back. I bought a pair for a shaggy halloween costume one year, and not only are they super comfortable, they make my ass look amazing too.

Well, he has two tabs, so more like two spiritual experiences at the same time instead.

Likely more accurate to say ‘know the future’ instead of ‘predict the future’, but the intent is the same. He doesn’t share what will happen, only what will likely happen.

People are being brainwashed with crap like “calories in, calories out” or “exercise more” but that’s just bullshit. It pushes the idea that too much weight comes from a personality flaw and not health issues, but yet any actual (and by that, I mean proper) doctor will quickly search for medical reasons for weight gain because there’s a million of them.

Genetics affects how the caloric intake is handled. It does not change the fact that adjusting caloric intake will directly adjust how much weight is even possible to gain.

Studies concluded that the presence of these genes increases the risk of obesity but does not necessitate obesity. This risk can be ameliorated by healthy food choices, increased physical activity and avoiding other causes of obesity mentioned in this review.
