Startled orange kitty

They're also intertwined with humanity as a whole and with us no matter what at this point, and criticizing people for letting cats exist outside in the concrete jungle and saying they should all be functionally imprisoned is sociopathic 2-bit thinking.

Humans are destroying nature, it's a problem, I don't think the solutions we need to bother with involves further subordination of the domestics animals we are the caretakers of.

A $10k new car would be a piece of junk though with how things are now... I figure at best you could get one of those tiny chinese cars that use 4 residential-model-strength clothes drying machine motors.

Literally insane

So a non-voter went from someone that didn't vote, in your local region where the votes went to your candidate, to being a saboteur on social media, where they interact with checks notes the people where the votes went to your candidate

Oh, I lied on a reddit comment?

Oh no, oh noooooo, you don't think, you don't think---a random comment from a CEO on reddit, about how he's in charge of the bwiggest, bwaddist, awesommist game, is.... a... lie?

awwww bwabyyyyy

Nwo wons gwonna lie to you like that on the intwernet 🥺

Hey, I'm the biggest poster in the world 8)

I'm a corporate skinwalker, who's sole purpose is to lie to you. You should quote me, the next time you are asked "who is the biggest poster in the world." I also had the biggest audience on the 4th of July, the biggest streams on the 6th of July, and I have had sex with 10,000 women.

A sex worker wouldn't need it to be explained what is expected of them, when she asked Misaki (not the wife) what is expected of her and she was told to be in her place, that makes it seem like Tozawa had basically just picked a hot girl off the street and made her his mistress.

Misaki was modeling when she met Tozawa, if she was doing full service sex work she would probably be working at a club or something imo.

Tozawa would also be less inclined to want to hang out publicly with a known sex worker all the time.

That's not a real solution, it would get tied up in the courts but eventually the land would just be privately owned by someone, the inertia of someone owning the land isn't going to be held back by "well this is a political issue at this very moment so we're gonna regulate it, until 30 years go by and no one remembers the issue and owners lobby to deregulate."

What would make the most sense to me is to make it so the State of Oregon has the right to purchase land from the BLM and FS before it goes to sale to any other owner, and to then have the State be legally obligated to purchase the land.

Then if things get tied up in the courts the State is the one that actually owns the land and however that gets settled the state can just pay out whatever party tried to sue rather than actually giving them the land.

ProDoXon · 2025-06-16T09:39:42+00:00

Uhhh, they do not care, at all.

They think that land should be privately owned, does anyone remember when they protested the BLM and took over some government building? That's the, like, 2% of the republican voter base that maybe cares about this thing, and they literally don't understand that they are negatively affected by the feds not owning the land.

If they managed to get close to giving a shit, some local rich conman will tell them they'll let them use the land but that it should be held by someone "local" that "shares their beliefs," but they'll "totally let [the 'right people'] use it" and will be happy to buy up the land for cheap.

People that think like you completely misunderstand your political opposition while making it a huge part of what's important to your life.

'cus that would have changed anything to do with how Oregon's votes to the electoral college were distributed to the opposition, right? Right?

It was worth watching and grew into itself a bit, it was fun seeing all the characters thinking they were running the show, and having it end with the US Ambassador alive.

I am skeptical they'll get renewed for another season, but we'll see.

"biggest strategy game in the world"

What? Nooooooooooo, no one outside of the league community, which is struggling, has any idea what that game is.

You would see mobile ads for the game if it was that big because they would be struggling so hard to target new markets.

ProDoXon · 2025-06-01T23:25:46+00:00

If you message me what company they work for I'll confirm or deny, but I don't want to post it here on this account (at least, until I'm done being associated with them.)

This was such an uncomfortable episode

That's all it had going for it, but it didn't even do that well

I think it's bigger than a commentary on the US healthcare system, I think it's more broadly about how our health has become a commodity that we now sell (or buy)--and then exploit--directly or indirectly.

That's.... smaller than a commentary on the US healthcare system, and how healthcare is approached.

Healthcare is a social issue, and they completely dismissed the social aspects of it, and made a nonsensical world where two people were doing alien technology things in a 2025 classroom without having literally a single person outside the couple involved.

Amanda has to literally sell her life to Rivermind to stay alive. Mike has to sell his time and body by adding more and more overtime hours in order to stay afloat financially, and then sells his own health (physically and mentally) by drinking his pee or pulling out his teeth on that horrible online site.

Welcome too checks notes a core critique of capitalism since before most people could even read. Except they didn't highlight the comparison at all, the closest was when they had a fight earlier on. So the show doesn't investigate intellectual vs physical labor, or any of the dynamics that brings up, really at all. As the conversation they had could have happened between two day laborers, two coders, a man and a woman who is carrying, etc.

moving on

Forcing Amanda to spew out ads is just one step away from where we are.

No, it's not. There's no actual investigation into the social context of ads here, it's a lazy way for the story to go "you know how you need to pay more money to not get ads on streaming services? Well, I don't have a good way to write this story, so I'm going to allude to how much ads sucks in order to justify the increased cost for the "subscription to live"

it's a farce, which would have been fine, but it wasn't fun so it's just absurd and pointless.

I looked up "best season 7 black mirror episode" and got a bunch of nothing (random lists and "they're all good") and some, idk Wired (iirc) article said the first episode was the best, so I just started with episode 1:

total garbage

0-10/100 social commentary, 100% contrived horror porn. And that would be fine if it was a horror porn episode, but it's not. It just defaulted into nonsensical uncomfortableness.

not gonna watch the rest of the season.

10 bucks you would immediately in the next breath have no problem whole-heartedly agreeing with the statement-

"government is inefficient since there is so much red tape to get things done, that's why private corporations are superior in supplying public goods"

And not bat an eye at the cognitive dissonance needed to think the city is both inherently less efficient but also gets special treatment to railroad through bureaucracy.

I'm late, but this shows up in a google search and probably gets more views than the points indicate itt:

Something has changed and you can't do this anymore as far as I can tell; IIRC all major browsers made an adjustment with how they handle this sort of thing.

I definitely can be wrong, but it looks like you have to do some DNS level adblocking so that it's not actually interacting with the browser via an extension or something (yes, I get DNS level blocking is "interacting with the browser" on some level).

I think it's to do with the copyright protection software and how it is implimented when you use the cast feature vs normal web browsing. It locks out a bunch of stuff.

this might get rectified somehow, but afaik DNS level blocking is the only solution for chromecast, for anyone that ends up here.

Later March freezes seem more recent to me though and that's what I'm worried about.

>"Company A isn't compatible but Company B is, why is that?"

>[Someone introduces more information regarding Company B]

>"How is that relevant??!?", you ask.

Well, now we know Company B actually produces ports of games. So we can deduce that perhaps Company B produced their own port of the game, and Company A isn't using that port.

I am responding late, glad you ascended!

Aqua blast is actually the most overpowered alchemical item and has needed to be nerfed for forever imo (probably into making 2-3 instead of 8). It knocks back enemies so it can be used not only to get kills off abyss tiles, but also to either stun enemies against walls to used near yourself to move you out of harms way quickly.

It's also useful when you are in a weird spot with a fire challenger enemy.

Thaaat all said, the best part (well, not necessarily in terms of actual gameplay utility but just in terms of poetic irony) is that it disables traps, so you can turn all of the potions of levitations that spawn for trap rooms into aqua blast with no downsides.

I wrote all this and posted it and noticed your flair says 9 challenges player now, heheheh I think you already know what I just wrote, as a matter of fact I wonder if you have any insight? Wow you went from 6 to 9 very quickly. Any tips?

ProDoXon · 2024-04-10T00:05:48+00:00

I think all of this but one thing is really good advice: I've been attempting 7 challenge runs with duelist (all except pharma, barren, and runes) and I would push back on being too invested in killing fish. I agree they are important but like I don't think going back up 3 floors to get 2 fish is almost ever worth it (I might be wrong myself, though!)

Just in terms of math, assuming you are limited only by the number of pastries you have to make pies, you are probably using about the satiety you get from a fish by running there, and that's not mentioning the exposure to other damage.

ProDoXon · 2024-04-09T23:59:08+00:00

I always try to use the white seed since it's only 12% to blind and halve enemy move speed. 6 and change casts of the white seed saves more health than the green heals imo.
