It's not bad by any means. Some of the best exploration and puzzle solving in the series but damn the combat sucks.

That's more than enough protein for three young children .

I don't remember Digg being infiltrated by right wing conservatives. What I do remember was a website with a community that dickrode its power users so hard that unless you were a figure like MrBabyMan, your content would not get a single vote. The only people who actually used Digg's social features (i.e. Friends lists) were blog spammers.

IIRC Digg v4 tried to address the issue by making users subscribe directly to news websites and dedicated content creators. They hated it and flocked immediately to their competitor.

Reddit has the same power user problem, albeit 1000x worse. Say what you want about the people who gamed Digg's front-page, but they didn't have the power to be judge, jury and executioner when moderating communities.

It's hilariously ironic that I got banned from worldnews four years ago for criticizing the Saudi regime and how they use millennia-old scripture as justification to treat women horribly. Apparently that's 'bigotry.'

Everything I hear about the toxicity of worldnews these days is baffling.

They'd fit right at home on r/Asmongold. That place has become a KotakuInAction offshoot in recent months. So much right wing, anti-woke and anti-trans content gets posted there that I'm surprised the admins haven't quarantined or banned it.

Such a mod does exist, and I'd be shocked if it didn't also remove any scenes of sexual violence.

An example of what I mean is the Harvestman, which the video doesn't fully explain and for good reason. He not only begins the fight creepily caressing members of the party, but from the third turn onwards his attack becomes a coin flip.

Fail it, and it's an instant game over, where you're treated to a cutscene where the Harvestman breaks your limbs then fists you to death.

Fear and Hunger seemed like an interesting game, until I found out the true horrors of what some of the enemies do to you, and that put me off. If you think getting your head pecked off by the Crow Mauler is bad, what if I told you that rape is a highly recurring theme in that game?

Found out about it from r/RedditAlternatives but had always been reluctant to sign up, after watching Voat and Ruqqus become right wing shitholes.

The API controversy was what caused me and others to flock here.

I've heard Iraqi Kurdistan is a nice place to visit and is relatively safe compared to the rest of the country.

A girlfriend.

My own place to live.

A job that isn't 10% basic Excel admin, 5% copying and pasting snippets from a slowly updating Power BI report into PowerPoint slides, 5% chasing managers for info, and the remaining 80% twiddling my thumbs because I have nothing to do.

His dad is King Cold.

Cooler is his brother, also probably not canon because he's only ever appeared in two movies which aren't considered part of the main continuity.

That's Freeza's mom.

Yup, he wanted to say it, but 28 day modmail mute and all 🤷‍♂️

It's easy to terminate staff when you keep the real reasons hushed.

Hard to prove discrimination, union busting or workplace bullying when all you gotta do is set unrealistic targets, PIP those who fail to meet their goals and push them out through disciplinary/capability processes.

It's how I got scapegoated for department-wide failings and shitcanned from Teleperformance years ago...

It's easy to avoid buying things from Amazon

I mean... Yes but also no.

Amazon have gone to crap in recent years and has become a more upmarket Wish or Temu. Much of their storefront is full of Chinese knock-off brands these days.

What Amazon does offer is somewhat reliable next (and sometimes same) day delivery. The only way you can get something faster is by travelling to a brick & mortar shop and buying in person.

As for AWS, aren't we forgetting that Microsoft, IBM, Oracle, Google, even Alibaba and Huawei have their own cloud solutions?

This is actually a real post but I cannot find the genderswapped version. Presumably because the duplicate nature was identified and OOP was banned.

I grew up on most of the examples you quoted. They're Emmy award winning masterpieces compared to Skibidi Toilet.

Indoor smoking bans in public places made sense, but this is just dumb as fuck.

Second-hand cigarette smoke is a health hazard when frequently ingested and it was probably refreshing to not have everything smell like tobacco. But this harmed the hospitality sector and made smokers far less inclined to go out drinking. A lot of pubs shut after the 2007 smoking ban introduced by the UK and the hospitality sector hasn't really recovered since. A good 'best of both worlds' approach would have been to allow larger establishments to have a ventilated indoor smoking area and make it a soft-ban, but unfortunately big tobacco is the enemy.

And now Keir Starmer (British PM) wants to push through a similar outdoor smoking ban to what the EU are proposing, where it would become illegal to light up outside a hospital or in a pub beer garden.

This moronic plan would basically kill what is left of the hospitality industry, and if Keir Starmer's grand master plan to solve our country's housing crisis is to make more pubs shut so greedy parasitic landlords and property developers can snap them up and turn them for a profit, then he's gonna be remembered as the UK's worst prime minister. And believe me when I say that the Tory bastards who killed thousands with austerity measures, dragged us kicking & screaming out of the European Union, partied in 10 Downing Street while we were forced to lock down from COVID, and who crashed our economy with tax cuts have put up some stiff competition.

Fun fact, you used to be able to smoke on airplanes, and the air quality on flights actually decreased after smoking bans were put in place, because the regulations around air conditioning were also cut.

And unlike with Reddit and Stack Overflow (other platforms that have pulled shit like this) , poisoning your data to sabotage generative AI efforts is going to make you look like a fucking degenerate in front of current and past employers.

This is pretty fucking evil.

In all seriousness... Skibidi toilet is probably one of the egregious examples of brain rot in our society. Gen alpha is truly cooked.
