Thanks

Technologic.

Having a toy is just as good for that purpose.

You won’t be treated as if it’s a toy though.

I like to think it’s just an administrative paperwork thing. When you make an “order” there are some things that require less paperwork and come quick vs others.

This is why you can decrease the expected delivery time by committing resources to the cause to create a more efficient paperwork flow.

I’m not sure if it’s changed, but in places where the PSN isn’t available, are the players still able to play?

YouTube can burn.

They generate more money than whole countries and you want to give them more? I don’t have to pay them shit for them to make money off of me from my browsing history alone.

I would rather speed forward the enshittification to the point that all creators decide to strike and hop over collectively to another, kinder, video hosting site.

In the meantime Google benefits from my viewing data/history and sells that over and over. They’re making money hand over fist and then when you pay them for a “premium” experience you’re just handing them more. You’re already a cash cow for them with just using the site. Screw that noise.

Give directly to the creator.

The string above this pointed out that the greyhound bus is more expensive than the delta flight from the same start to finish.

I’m not saying the price increase isn’t bullshit or acceptable, but you are already paying more for the greyhound for slower travel.

Maybe the convenience of speed as well? A plane will get you coast to coast in just hours vs a bus or train.

C-O-C-A-I-N-E!

Probably because he talked to his doctor?

It’s been years since it was released. If you haven’t seen it at this point then saying *spoilers! * can only be seen as sarcastic.

You might wanna use a /s

I think it’s more the psychology of the nofap group themselves that’s hurtful. I’ve seen many/most discussions that are fine, but others are just wildly toxic with a cult-like “discipline”.

You’re either with us or against us.

Us vs. the system/females/people in power.

You’re better than others. Or, if you trip up, you’re garbage.

There’s no in-between and no room for mistakes.

That’s not good for you in the long run and it’ll hurt more than it helps.

Hindsight is 20/20, after all.

Exactly. I have a friend who was going through it, even considered offing herself, but in the end she kept going and came out on the other side better and more mature than ever.

It took years, but she’s now in a much better position, stable, and learned valuable life lessons.

She would say she was just surviving, but the desire to keep enduring takes strength, and to those of us who have never been tested like that, it is absolutely, 100% strength of character and will.

You don’t eat your toothbrush or floss right? I think that’s what the above poster was getting at.

You shouldn’t eat a toothpick, either.

This swings both ways. Public information such as voting records, for example, were used to coerce, intimidate, and physically hurt innocent people in the past. I think it takes a mature culture/society to use public information responsibly and I don’t think we are there yet.

Then again, a ton of awful stuff happens in private already, so there needs to be a balance of some kind.

Yes.

No canned onion rings on top?

It’s the same thing every season. Cold, flu, RSV, mycoplasma, hundreds of other viruses and bacteria, now COVID all go up when people congregate. We’ve known this since grade school.

Why the news is being sensationalist, who really knows? /s
