It says 2019 to trick the viewer into commenting “no 2012” or 2016, since no real human thinks everything was great until 2019. It’s bait for interactions.

I have no experience with it and can’t claim to know, but the privacy advocate in me tells me it can use everything because it wants access to everything so it can datamine from every app at once.

Again, I don’t know this specific app, but literally every other non Foss app is just a front for granted permissions.

Language is always evolving, and for a term as long standing as pet, with such wide use, it’s no longer an incorrect use of the word. Pet as a past participle aligns with the use of similar words like bet and set, and on a cultural basis petted sounds like the way a little kid speaks.

If I recall correctly, only one of the heads likes to be pet. Don’t lose a hand.

It’s the main reason I don’t care for 80s-00s east coast comics. It’s too hard to tell if they’re going for shock comedy or are actually as dumb as they’re telling us.

Sepparate utensils into three groups. Prep and baking tools should be near the largest counter space. Cooking tools should be near the stove. Single use tools should be near the curb.

I feel like this is one of those models we’re completely wrong about.

I feel like the term has been bastardised away from what the literal words mean, being able to sense humor. So in that context, a good sense of humor would be a chill person who knows how to find absurdity in a situation rather than taking things seriously.

A fun person, in other words.

As for the more modern use, I would say someone who can make regular conversations and events entertaining, while avoiding low hanging fruit and what I consider lazy jokes, jokes based on discrimination and stereotypes.

Like, it’s not cool or nice to make sexist and racist jokes, but on a totally different level, it’s lazy joke writing. Wife bad Asian driving black criminal is hack shit that relies on ancient cliches for a punchline, and is generally missing very key parts to approach humor in exchange for getting white dudes in trucks to chuckle and say yeah.

A good point, but I do like the observation that the only problems Nissan has are with the two most important parts of a vehicle.

This is some pretty good spaghetti, just the noodles and sauce are trash.

Guaranteed this just turns Honda into Nissan quality

Not advertised at children, though

I bet we could tweak the language to be pretty persuasive. Those guys are known for believing some bullshit youtube ideas.

Conversation, mostly. By the time I quit reddit around two years ago, every top comment was a repost of a previous joke, or some predictable mutation of one.

Anything that went against the common preconceptions was shutdown immediately. I’m an expert/professional in a few niche subjects, and the final nail in the coffin for me was any comment I made turning into a fruitless debate with armchair experts too dumb to even understand why they were wrong, while correct info was downvoted to invisibilty.

None of this helps you crosspost, I’m aware.

First order: Greed Crimes

Any white collar crime done for the sole benefit of enriching one or siphoning money away from citizens or workers.

Regulatory capture, pyramid schemes, political bribery, hidden tax havens, environmental distruction, writing bills like citizens united, cutting social services, forming monopolies, competition buyouts, blatant conflicts of interest, etc.

We have hate crimes, when something is done out of hatred for a people it is given the harshest penalty because it hurts an entire group.

The thing is, greed crimes ruin the lives of thousands and millions, possibly everyone, and in my opinion should be capital offenses.

We need an investigative oversight committee that stop all functions of a person or company while looking into accusations. If found guilty, a company is dismantled, an individual is executed, their will is ignored and all assets are liquidated and used to remedy the situation that was created.

If found not guilty, you’re closely monitored by the greed crime committee for an agreed period. If you are accused of three sepparate greed crimes and different times, even if found not guilty, you should be considered a bad faith potential, and exiled or removed from any position of power.

I would’ve been with you until I saw Grumper Pig.

I want him prosecuted, and freed by jury nullification.

Let them see that yes this was murder, but the people agree with it.

Headline scared me. Can’t do the alien bounty hunter dirty like that.

Seems like poor timing

So I don’t have a habit of playing terrible games, but I can say the worst games I’ve played are sneaky. They trick you into thinking they might have something going for them, only to never go anywhere or get better.

Husk is the first one that jumps out at me. It announces itself as a silent hill inspired horror game based on domestic violence themes. After three hours of painfully slow controls and enemies that don’t make any sense to the story, it just suddenly ends with a cliche, tacked on, “you’re the asshole here” monologed conclusion with no explanations whatsoever.

Another category of absolute butt-trash I’ve fallen for is games that appeal to edgy teenagers, and so have stellar reviews regardless of how they in fact suck shit.

Lust for darkness is a prime example. It’s a horror game with nothing remotely scary in it about a sex cult full of people with British accents in America who refer to themselves as cult members, and whose outrageous taboo sex acts are really just regular shit but they wear masks. It’s like a wet dream fantasy for a 13 year old incel. It’s not scary, it’s not clever, it’s not even just porn, and it’s most of all not fun.

A game that fits in both of these categories, that I played to completion just hoping I’d click with whatever coolaid the reviewers drank, was The Cat Lady. Reviews made it sound so deep and emotional, and it seemed like it was going somewhere for a minute, but at the end, it was just a cringefest hidden object sidescroller with weird voice acting that was targeted at angsty children who romantisize depression and death.

Years after leaving my negative steam reviews I still catch flak on occasion from superfans of these dogshit time sinks who have never read a book in their lives.
