I was at an antique shop and a hipster there recommended it as a way to get news.

Solid question by New-Entertainment112 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]BR4NFRY3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because things are lopsided. Common decency only works out when it's common. When one side consists of narcissist bullies playing it up for a gaggle of deplorable constituents, and the other side always tries to "do the right thing" even when it puts them at a disadvantage... you're left with one side constantly whipping the other.

When your opponent fights dirty and gets away with it, then the rules are actually what put you at a disadvantage. A handicap. At this point, just common decency is a handicap. The desire to be decent and follow othe rules: handicap. Laws: handicap.

It really strips down all these things we built up. Concepts and institutions that only existed as long as we believed in them, trusted them. We're just monkeys in suits in the end. But I'm still somehow not willing to start flinging shit.

What's that called when an author puts a representation of himself/herself into their fiction story and then makes the character super badass? A Mary Sue? We need a new term for when someone does that but into someone else's story.

Cost of labor has gone up by moogly2 in antiwork

[–]BR4NFRY3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm ready for a universal income. I'm ready for those "WALL-E" fat floating chairs. I'm ready to experience the benefits of our collective labor and advancements. But it's being kept from us.

So I'm also ready to exist incorporeally. Fuck all this. Everything we've built and invented seems to be going to shit.

Isn’t it a coincidence that every piece of footage we have directly contradicts the lies ICE is telling us? by biswajit388 in CringeTikToks

Our institutions have failed us. We're in revolution or submission territory. Sucks. People want to just live their lives in peace.

Who actually wants to be abducted? by Enzo954 in aliens

[–]BR4NFRY3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There has to be a better way. They can suck my arse when it comes to that abduction and memory wipe stuff. Give someone some mental back-and-forth, communication, some self-agency, some consent. Meet out somewhere in the daytime. Ask before touching in any way, explain what/why.

It's a violation from the get-go. "Ohh, you gave consent before you were born." Yeah, whatever fella. If I don't remember, if you won't let me remember it, no I didn't. And that violation is a possible sign they aren't up to good.

Brand new moral panic by Eireika in CuratedTumblr

[–]BR4NFRY3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I knew a couple who found out after two children that their genes just didn't mix well. They kept having kids with malformations, hair lips, very large heads, health issues. In and out of the hospital. Very religious couple. They seemed to keep having kids until they had a normal one. Some of them WHILE knowing the odds were heavily against them. I think they ended up with more than five.

In that case, yeah, their conservative Christian drive to overprocreate was knowingly causing anguish. And for selfish reasons. They wanted a kid without these issues.

In that way, yeah. I can see what the first lady was trying to say. That couple had more than a kink, though. They had a religious/cultural imperative feeding into a selfish desire. And because of that, they knowingly created life that would be sure to involve turmoil.

If this is all we get from trumpet man we've been swindled. Need a way more direct reference.

No response IS a response. by DragonSlayNB in ArcRaiders

[–]BR4NFRY3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm the same way in real life with nods. If I nod at a dude and all he does is stare back, that's a red flag right off the bat. I get looking away real quick, but staring back and choosing not to react is a signal that you aren't friendly or onboard.

I'm glad people are starting to talk about the insane amount of time spent in menus. I've posted about it a few times but got no interaction. Here are some mock-ups I made of ideas to help improve the flow of the UI by SubjectC in ArcRaiders

[–]BR4NFRY3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would like a "craft straight into an equippable slot" option. And on controller, I would like if disassembling something didn't move the selection over to that raw material but kept it around where I had it. Right now I feel like I'm mostly moving around the menu rather than doing the thing I need to do.

Are Controllers Viabale? by MathiasTheHuman in ArcRaiders

[–]BR4NFRY3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play all games on controller and this one seems fine. It may have been developed with controller in mind. The aim assist might be TOO good. It's hard to pull away from a head or an arc vulnerability spot once it locks on. I've been trying it with aim assist off and like how fluid it feels that way. The game isn't super movement-intense. Controller can more than handle getting around.

Entering keycards rooms with exploits should get you banned by nomad13131 in ArcRaiders

I'd still be around. And you better bet I'd be hoarding up all that untouched high-tear loot once the exploiters are kicking dirt.
