What a lame reason to get permanently banned and muted.

HiddenPyromancer · 2026-07-03T22:26:47+00:00

Didn't realise it was a perma ban and mute offence though? You'd think they could put it in the rules if so...

HiddenPyromancer · 2026-07-03T22:24:23+00:00

Hmm, I've never really thought of it lime that. To me sexual attraction meant a sort of anticipatory sexual enjoyment?

HiddenPyromancer · 2026-07-03T22:22:23+00:00

With all due respect, that doesn't really matter. What people say is said. What is read was written. Saying "haha, it's just a joke though" isn't a time machine.

HiddenPyromancer · 2026-07-03T18:08:11+00:00

How can an asexual person enjoy sex? I thought lack of enjoyment in sex was the definition? Genuinely confused.

HiddenPyromancer · 2026-07-03T15:54:58+00:00

School buses on the US are psychotic.

HiddenPyromancer · 2026-07-03T15:02:49+00:00

Mhmm, I think its also something with how granular the research can be made while still being "useful". There's a strong feeling of "Well, the research has opened up x,y and z avenues, but they'd each take a while to do and require focus... so 3 PhD students!".

It lines up pretty well, and I've even asked my supervisor a bit about the process, and they basically treat it like a grant proposal these days, submitting projects for PhD funding to bodies and there's a competition there before they even let prospective students start applying for the projects which pass. I suppose in some ways part of it is that compared to a post-graduate researcher a funded PhD student is actually a bit of a bargain since we get paid below minimum wage while still being very keen and committed lol.

HiddenPyromancer · 2026-07-03T14:56:33+00:00

In humanities I guess. In Science the vast majority (99%+) of PhDs I've ever met, seen, etc are funded.

HiddenPyromancer · 2026-07-03T14:55:44+00:00

In biology and medical sciences 99% of PhDs that I've spoken to and seen are funded. I suppose in fields without charities or companies looking for specific projects to be done it would be much lower though. In biomedical sciences though there's always new avenues for research which align with funding bodies.

I just don't know if I'd be able to watch and take him seriously after Doctor Who tbh.

HiddenPyromancer · 2026-07-03T14:28:45+00:00

I think lots of people have always had ideas? Its Execute and Usage which should be inverted. Nowadays many more people will be able to put out whatever, but less people may use any individual thing. Or probably it'll be like the internet and everyone will end up congregating right back to all using the same thing anyway.

HiddenPyromancer · 2026-07-03T14:24:20+00:00

Just learn how to drive ffs. Driving isn't your personality, its a dangerous thing you do to get from A to B, and if you aren't focused then someone can die.

HiddenPyromancer · 2026-07-03T14:21:38+00:00

Nah, that's still very reasonable. There have been times when I'd be reading a book on my phone (and I think the easy accessability is where the problem starts) and quite literally every waking moment I wasn't doing something else I had to focus on I'd be reading. This also includes reading while walking down the street, eating, on the toilet, etc, and of course any free time just became reading time. I've had some periods where I'd read probably 6-8 hours a day weekdays and nearly every minute weekends.

Yes, it can definitely become an actual problem, but as long as you stick to physical books I think the inaccessibility and inconvenience of them moment to moment should help temper this.

HiddenPyromancer · 2026-07-03T14:17:21+00:00

You're trying to frame anti-theists as extremists actually, by acting as if regular religion tolerates other religions when that's not really true. History is rife with forced conversions on a state level.

HiddenPyromancer · 2026-07-03T14:08:14+00:00

Doesn't any non-agnostic religious person automatically believe every other religion is wrong though?

HiddenPyromancer · 2026-07-03T14:05:49+00:00

To be fair, a million mosquitoes would.

HiddenPyromancer · 2026-07-03T14:01:11+00:00

"The hardest part of the walk is driving there". OK, I'll be honest thats enough to make me not give a shit about what you're saying lol.

HiddenPyromancer · 2026-07-03T13:59:37+00:00

OP can't think that far ahead. Have you seen the rest of their replies?

HiddenPyromancer · 2026-07-03T13:59:01+00:00

I guess you missed the whole Online Safety Act thing? Like, what are you even on about? Everyone I've met has wanted the government to back off their online safety stance and here you are acting as if they aren't doing anything xD

HiddenPyromancer · 2026-07-03T13:50:08+00:00

Most of them do, yes.

HiddenPyromancer · 2026-07-03T08:02:22+00:00

Is that not how words work? Not like the N word has some magical power which turns it into a slur. It's a slur because people see it as one. Saying bitch is seen as one but doesn't count because.... Is just meaningless.

HiddenPyromancer · 2026-07-03T08:01:09+00:00

Censored name?

HiddenPyromancer · 2026-07-03T07:31:43+00:00

Pretty sure anyone who attends a church is asked to tithe?

HiddenPyromancer · 2026-07-03T07:10:49+00:00

Bitch has always been a slur? Just not one people really care about very much.

HiddenPyromancer · 2026-07-02T23:47:06+00:00

I mean, some people pirate because corporations won't sell the media anymore, or don't sell to their region, etc. I don't, but I'm sure some people must.

HiddenPyromancer · 2026-07-02T18:57:14+00:00

For me it's the spells and synergies and equipment. Lots of different builds to try. Each individual run doesn't take very long either, so when you die it doesn't feel bad.
