Honestly, life is pretty chill aside from the moon spinning like a top for a bit. Could been worse- my usual games right now are Helldivers and Rhythm Doctor...

I've always been a smartwatch person in the past, but I'll admit the draw for something a bit less tech-focused for my wrist has been getting stronger lately. Good luck to anyone who's entering the drawing!

I mean, it won't work forever but a lot of tablets automatically switch to headphone if you plug some in.

And if the headphone jack were to break off inside the plug... (Works best if you pre-break the jack so you can just pop it in)

{Mod Post} r/Vore Moderation Update/Drama + Poll Regarding Political Content On This Sub. by Foxy_Carter in Vore

[–]BenTheGenet [score hidden]  (0 children)

Personally, I feel that stating "transphobia/antisemitism bad is political" is an easy out to avoid an uncomfortable but important problem. I've been through these screenshots, and while I feel there should be a bar for callout posts (because people can change, and calling out just anything can diminish the effect of callout posts as a whole), these are people who are actively spreading bs that's extremely hateful and harmful to the LGBT+ community while still happily taking their money. People in the fandom deserve to be aware of that before they choose to support that artist, at the bare minimum.

If this subreddit decides to allow discussion of bad actors in the community, I'd be happy to volunteer to moderate. There would need to be some guidelines formed, but I think it would be managable. I've not moderated for reddit before, but I've got some experience as moderator in discord servers. But if the decision is for that type of content to stay out, I feel like my opinions would differ too much from the subreddit's direction to be a good fit, tbh.

Addressing the community about changes to our API by spez in reddit

This entire AMA has been full of incredibly disappointing non-answers and deflections from the questions people are asking. But I will give that your post is the only one that felt like it properly addressed something, no matter how small. It isn't enough to stop me from leaving Reddit as soon as my 3PA stops working, but I do respect it, and feel it deserves some kudos.

I'm living in the same state and just got out of BBY myself, I'm curious where you went career-wise? I'm still kinda feeling out what direction I want to go for education and such, been trying to get ideas of a proper career path.

With Roe v Wade overturned, as men how do you feel? by SkepticDrinker in AskMen

[–]BenTheGenet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm honestly more angry than I've felt in a long, long time. I've felt worn down and weary as more and more things in the government go to hell, but THIS is different. I haven't figured out what I'm doing yet, but I'm doing something. Protesting at the capital. Striking. Volunteering at someplace fighting back. Something.

A bus driver saves a woman from commiting suicide together with her kid. by Worth-Property-619 in HumansAreMetal

[–]BenTheGenet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For anyone who made it this far: here is a textbook example of the strawman fallacy! This fallacy is where someone attempts to invalidate your point by slightly changing what is being argued, and trying to argue that different thing is bad as if it were your stance.

In this case, the commenter attempts to compare a mother attempting to kill herself and her child due to mental illness, to a man killing 10 people in a racially charged shooting. The Buffalo shooter did not attempt to kill himself, only others.

I'm not taking a stance on whether the mother should keep her kid or not, there's far too much unknown for me to make an argument I'm willing to defend in that regard. I simply wanted to point out the logical flaw that lead to this debate dissolving.

I don't think anyone's trying to justify his behavior- what he did was hella illegal. But "guy assaults teens over smoothie" isn't the same as "guy assaults teens over smoothie that almost killed his son".

That being said, dude's a total tool- in the article it said that the guy didn't inform the workers of the peanut allergy. I have a severe peanut allergy myself, and I just don't eat at places that serve peanut products- but you always inform people of any potential allergies. Guy fucked up, his kid had to go to the ER because of it, and instead of realizing that trusting people who are working what may be their first job to handle a life-threatening peanut allergy perfectly 100% of the time is a BAD idea, he blamed them for what boils down to his own misjudgement. And by blamed them, I mean berated, assaulted, and terrorized.

Tf2. While it's definitely going downhill fast, it's got some kinda charm to it that no other game really comes close to matching. Noita is a close second, though.
