This is how history works. The victors determine how the story is told. If these guys had been successful rest assured no matter how wrong they were they would have painted themselves heros.

But I get your point. Unfortunately idiocy isn’t a solid defense for treason.

I pronounce them the same. Grew up on the west coast.

I feel this way about all of the brain dance scenes in cyberpunk. I don’t enjoy them and find them incredibly tedious. Thankfully there are only a few that are necessary for the story but they are notably bad, not fun, and add nothing to the game while absolutely stripping the moments spent playing through them of all joy

What? Of course I pet random dogs on the street. You don’t?

I mean, I ask first, if they’re with a human… if not, well…

Days gone gets a lot of hate but I thought it was a blast and the motorcycle travel was such a great game mechanic.

I couldn’t finish Alan Wake. I really enjoyed the story but the game play was just too kludgy.

There are absolutely, unequivocally, killers for hire. You just aren’t going to find them on the hitman equivalent of Amazon dot fucking com.

Yo at least let them have the grape flavored “nutrient packs” while you’re at it…

Yep. First time ever was a real trip though. I was at a girl’s house and she ties me up with some of her scarves as things are getting hot and heavy.

I enjoy spanking so I asked her to punish me because I was too shy to ask for what I wanted so she tied me up and started biting and scratching me.

Looooook beggars can’t be choosers.

After a few minutes the doorbell rings and she tells me “don’t go anywhere…”

Well she was gone a long time and I’m buck naked with my dick hanging out and peppered with scratch and bite marks and I get it in my head that it’s her dad.

Don’t ask where I got that idea, but we were in a religiously conservative country and I didn’t want to get my dick cut off.

Anyway I managed to get loose from the scarves. It was an intense 90 seconds or so and my wrists got pretty raw.

She comes back and it was just a delivery.

She was bit perturbed with me because I really fucked one of the scarves up in the process but we had a laugh and got back to it.

I put my university, the years I attended, and my major and minor focus of study.

It’s not a lie, and if pressed, I always tell the truth. It’s become a non issue as my professional experience has mounted and now my resume and references speak for itself.

But, unless I’m asked directly…

Nobody needs to know I dropped out first semester of my senior year due to a crippling drug addiction. Or as I phrase it, a period in my life where I needed to tend to a family medical emergency.

It would be useful if you live in the United States, or any of the dozens of countries that use the system either as a standalone measurement of temperature or as part of a dual system. The British Virgin Islands, Antigua, Barbuda, the Bahamas… Etc.

I find it actually kind of a fun way to start a conversation with anyone outside of the U.S. by attempting to convert my local weather to Celsius. I’m on international calls fairly regularly and (can’t blame anyone for this) telling anyone outside the US or the countries above the temperature in fahrenheit is like speaking a foreign language.

Bro…

I can absolutely smell the 90s in this statement and I love it

Personally whenever I go to Instagram all I get are cat videos and ads about “targeted mushrooms” and kava drinks…

It all checks out ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Just to put the in context, you would need to play every single day for roughly 6.8 hours in order to rack up 2500 hours in a year.

To further contextualize, in the U.S. a full time job, that is a job wherein one works a combination of days each week (typically 5 8-hour days but sometimes 4 10-hour days) is around 40 hours each week, or 2080 hours a year.

The typical worker also takes vacation, sick days, etc equaling between 1-3 weeks each year. Meaning they may not even work an actual 2000 hours each year due to time off.

So you are putting in more time to WoW each year than the typical full time worker is to their job.

And you still have time for other games.

Omg I’m not a crackhead but I did enjoy hitting the ski slopes in my 20s and I knew exactly what you meant right away

I think you’re right and she was confused but that sort of illustrates the point. If someone is arguing a fallacy that is easily proven a fallacy then it indicates to me that they are generally going to be an unreliable source of information.

This.

I had someone the other day tell me the Tiananmen “tank man” incident never happened. We were discussing cognitive biases and she used this as an example of confirmation bias. But naturally she was arguing that anyone who didn’t share her world view suffered from confirmation bias.

When I said “the incident did happen and there’s photographic evidence” she told me "Google it there’s no photo "

Well, we googled it and there is, in fact, a photo. There’s more than one, actually.

I decided that presenting facts no longer was the point of the conversation when she shifted to the argument “that photo is known to be staged.”

🙄

I am also definitely not crying

It’s on 10acres so you’re mostly paying for the land. Structure is maybe 50k and a teardown for many I suspect.
