  • They could have a community center or a library. Sure funds are hard to come by but what kind of political party would even consider that?

    Funny enough here in the rural parts of CA I’ve seen Raleys and Holiday Markets putting in large community areas with amenities like cheap (sometimes free) printers, office space, children’s areas, etc.

    They’re not perfect or anything but its wild to see capitalist behemoths pull off something actually close to what the ideal would be, even if it’s likely to manipulate people somehow

    Make it law that communities with a dollar general or fuck it any grocery store we all have to eat have a community center of halfway decent quality in it like those places have done willingly and you’ll have an improvement, guaranteed


  • I’ve seen multiple people suggest hunting and get correctly told thats inaccurate

    But would war fighting, or just fighting in general what with our aggression n shit help explain it?

    The only times I’ve noticed this discrepancy in life are when hunting with women of playing competitive FPS games with my wife watching. I’ll regularly see and react to things they don’t, and are shocked when I shoot the sniper out of the tree on the other side of the map because yes, I did see him and I’m not crazy when I say I see shit flicker gdi

    Aliasing also bothers me more than any woman I know, and everyone I know who hates it as much as me is a man


  • When I worked at subway… Fuck me 10 years ago this month…

    We pulled them nipples and the inserts off every night and rinsed them in hot water, then left em overnight in sanitizer solution, and I (being 6’4") had to clean the ice holder every 2 weeks to a month, never got told bad in there thanks to that

    There was a picture our boss would show you of what happens when you don’t that convinced everybody to clean it religiously. We got free drinks from the machine, after all, we’d only be killing ourselves faster with that shit being dirty


  • This woman died only because she was honest with her doctor about her alcohol use

    No, and it even says so in the article

    She quit about 5 months before her death when transplants require 6-12 months of sobriety. She was drinking regularly with the fucked up liver before that diagnosis, and liver damage isn’t something that just suddenly appears.

    She kept drinking despite what would have been intense cramping pain and a slow death, thats why she was denied (addiction) and ultimately died

    Note that the article says her partner was a compatible donor but the system refused to accept him because she used alcohol

    And as the article also says it’s incredibly dangerous for someone to get a live-donor transplant when they’re in bad shape like she was, as failure of that means they’ll need to let her die on-table or transplant a good dead one into her (which she was denied for, due to her drinking)

    It’s sad, but this woman died to alcohol abuse, pure and simple






  • I recall reading somewhere that less than 5 years is the average time it takes for most individual works to earn the majority of its value, tapering off from there

    So I’d probably do a 2-tier system:

    Tier 1: independent civilians. After 5 years any normal civvie can take your work and use it without your permission to do whatever they want with it

    Tier 2: Companies. Life of the author. For as long as the original creator is alive no company can ever use their work without permission


  • couldn’t do much without being the slog A Realm Reborn was.

    I agree with everything else you said, but not this. I’ve seen multiple people write out different mild rewrites of areas and bits of the story to make it more interesting, and it wouldn’t have been much more work to flesh out the MSQ into more than just “go here talk to person” to the extreme it was. It didn’t have to be a slog

    Hell, had they just picked between the two completely different stories in this expansion (hi Stormblood critique from 2017) and kept with that for the whole epac they could have produced something far less of a slog at least, and actually really GREAT at best (just look at the content design after all)

    Shit my queue just popped I’m off to fight THE BEST BEE GIRL EVERRRRR




  • I just finished reconfigging my whole old server into it’s new modern form and set it up so that at either ratio > 2 or 1 month of no seeding has passed

    So far my overall ratio is fucking .78 because apparently nobody wants to download the shit I’ve got seeding other than me :'(

    (Tbf it’s mostly old obscure shit rn cuz I’m catching up on more obscure releases of movies n shit this month, but that was maybe a dumb idea right after completely overhauling my setup and tracking my ratios now lol)
