Being cute to humans was an evolutionary advantage. That’s the look of a shrewd and calculating hunter. Cats have domesticated humans, not the other way around, they still pretty much do their own thing and are largely resistant to training, but we still keep them around and feed them because we think they’re adorable little derps. Meanwhile they’re in the back yard demolishing the local bird population.

Frankly, these days? Yeah you totally can. “Hey Siri, what’s 3% of 235,889?” or “Hey Siri, what’s 8/37ths converted to 300ths?” will most likely just feed you a correct answer.

Didn’t know Santa Claus was a politician

People who have been paying attention have already moved. Anyone who’s left will need a missile dropped directly on top of their head by Elon Musk or Steve Huffman personally. They will leave when the websites can no longer support themselves and shut down their servers, forcing the users out.

The belters make a pretty solid example of what it sounds like OP is looking for. The entire setting doesn’t match to a T but there’s enough interaction with inhospitable environments to be worth looking into, I think.

Honestly I disagree but I wouldn’t mind seeing them coexist. But I say this because I’ve actually grown kind of fond of wojak so what the fuck do I know

Most of the EA games I buy (not all, but a significant majority) are sold for less, sometimes a lot less, than their final sale price, and I get tangible input on the design decisions before 1.0. I’m a big fan. I get to provide funding and feedback to a game I’m excited to see, get it for a good discount, get to see it grow up, and then when it blows up and everyone loves the game I’m considered a source of arcane ancient knowledge about it. It’s fun.

Mostly I enjoy being able to go on a game forum and say “this sucks, we should consider changing A to B” and then logging in next week to find B implemented.

Almost all people who didn’t vaccinate against covid are still alive and well you know

Ah, so we’re just ignoring the 7 million deaths from covid then. (Source: the World Health Organization (WHO)

Covid killed more people than the fucking holocaust, so far, it isn’t even finished yet. I don’t understand how people don’t realize this.

Just downloaded. Thanks for the tip 👍

For it to be needed regularly.

Once upon a time you could drop one of those in every third thread. People really just out here saying anything on the internet.

Ah, yes. “Interpretation”, of a thousands-year-old text, originally written by men to control other men, in Hebrew and translated at least three times in sequence before reaching even the predecessor of the popular King James Bible, then the apostles wrote the whole New Testament at minimum 50 years after all the alleged events contained within and possibly up to a couple hundred years later, then the whole thing was gutted, reordered and rewritten by old King James himself, then it was passed through the grubby mitts of between 10 and 30 generations of southern baptist-esque preacher before finally reaching the ears of the modern avid churchgoer.

If you think a single word in that book still holds the original meaning that it was written with, and more so if you think any part of that book is a factual account of events, I have several bridges to sell you. If not even that is enough to spark a little bit of self reflection, I invite you to investigate the Mormons and see what happens when religious ““interpretation”” is allowed to run free without restraint.

SFM has been the patron saint of shitpost videos for decades. It has a certain je ne sais quoi that’s not easily replicated, you can always tell when something has been made in SFM and I think it’s become a part of the DNA of that subset of memes.

And you don’t know what a source is.

Build quality does matter though. Especially for a cable that will be plugged in and out frequently.

That was kind of my point with the gold plated cables though; the ads for them will act like they’re better in some way and that you’ll get ultra high speed super definition picture or whatever. But it’s the same damn spec as the Amazon Basics cable.

And everyone who is tasked with fixing your constantly crashing shit doesn’t like that, because it gives precisely zero actionable information with which to prevent future crashes. I may as well pull out my tarot deck to diagnose your problem. It’s worse than useless, it’s actively insulting.

Getting good quality cables can make a difference.

Getting gold-plated cables will not ever. I fucking see you Monster. For $40 a cable that thing better also come with a free handy and an ice cream.
