as alive as you need me to be
100% agree.
We still have a ways to go in… socially realizing / allowing men to actually express emotional pain… I literally instinctively wanted to just call it ‘weakness’, lol.
We are still basically at ‘well if you are a man and you aren’t basically always a tough guy, well then you must be either gay or totally mentally unstable or something’.
That being said, of course there are exceptions to this, my experiences are proof of that, but yeah, its not the norm.
I’m banking it, I probably will at some point =)
For what its worth, I can offer an e-hug, if you’d like.
… I am a man and I have successfully done this more than once.
Not like, out of the blue, first date hookup kind of thing. More like… we’ve at least been dating for a few weeks, more like months usually, kind of thing.
Sometimes, it ends up with just comforting, no sexy time, just … more or less bonding time.
But, sometimes, it does end up with sexy time.
If your goal is relating to the other person, growing a relationship with them, not just sex with them… it doesn’t matter.
Because your tomorrow will include that person.
Lemmy is not a clone of reddit, we do have our own lingo here.
The power move counter to this is you trauma dump before sexy time, and then, if they help you through it, then have the sexy time.
You’re gonna be naked, bare your body.
Why not also bare your inner self?
The Sims.
You do not want to know how many ‘dlc’ there are for your digital dollhouse.
As well as entire community of enthusiastic corporate boot lickers with a ‘cozy’ aesthetic.
I will never forgive EA for destroying Maxis.
Kind of yes, but actually no.
We just see that debt now, its explicit.
EA … was subject to a leveraged buy out, that they sought out. They did this… because they needed cash, now.
What that means is that their internal financials were an absolute shit show… that they had, up untill that point, basically just legally lied about, hid, downplayed.
They fluffed up their balances and returns and cashflows in ways that are legal to do, but if you actually do due dilligence, you could read the writing on the wall.
Its basically the same as any other US company that got bought out / sold itself to private equity in the last 10 or 15 years.
Difference is, EA is so huge, it had to be bought out by essentially a sovereign wealth fund.
All games with kernel level anticheat, that isnt’t open souce.
There, fixed it for you.
Kernel level AC is literally a root kit, in some cases also a boot kit.
It has never made any sense to allow this shit on your computer. Sorry if marketing convinced you otherwise.
Anyone who did not see this coming is an idiot.
EA is… in a loooot of debt lol. Thats why they needed a buy out.
Oh my bad i forgot to add masochist to my list
Thats honestly hilarious.
Like a joke in a Coen brothers film, ahahah!
I am in this picture and I don’t like it.
Which reminds me!
… time to piss.
If you are still using Windows 11, for enterprise, and things like this surprise you… you are an idiot, and are bad at your job.
Yowza, fuck.
Hope nothing fractured.
Just… yeeesh. Dang.
I wonder why that could be, rofl!
Surely MSFT would always be clear, transparent, and forthright with the public, ahahahaha!
To be fair…
This is ‘windowslatest.com’.
Totally agree with you, but… the bias … was foreshadowed, lol.
Well said.
