This is exactly why I use Proton as well. I'm not worried about law enforcement, I just want Google and other big tech's tentacles out of my fucking business. I don't want to be advertised to.

Whilst I agree with you in that consciousness is the true nature of the universe, it's science and its disciplines that will slowly help us understand what it actually is and why we even experience existence in the first place.

As someone that relies on bottled water to survive (no rainwater tank, low rain area, no access to mains water, only undrinkable bore water due to rural location)... fuck.

It's a young gen Z thing. Anybody over 25 is an ancient fucking fossil to them for some reason. I can't wait until they're in their early 30's like I am, and realize that they still feel young (while they try to heal that shitty left knee that hurts for no reason when they crouch down too far.)

I don't consider someone 'old' until they're in their late 60's-70's tbh.

This complaint about wind power has always come across as the kind of thing people say because they heard somebody else say it. imo, it's just stupid people who desperately want to have an opinion on the topic weighing in with the only piece of criticism they've overhead some Sky News host parrot at some point in the past, and because that host had authority on the matter in their minds, it gives them some kind of false confidence to then go forward and proclaim the visual pollution argument, as if it has any real basis in anything.

My sense of smell still sucks, and it's been almost two years since I had COVID. It's marginally better than it was, but is still substantially worse than it was pre-infection.

EDIT: Okay, this is a bit of an exaggeration. My sense of smell has mostly returned, but for example, nuances in the taste of food seem to have become permanently dulled, and it sucks tbh. Something, as subtle as it is, has changed.

It couldn't possibly be the fact that the game is just mid as all fuck, and people are far enough past the honeymoon phase that they're finally having to accept it.

I like girls. I like how they look, I like the way they sound, I LOVE their fashion options. It isn't really any deeper than that. That said, I'll usually always play a male character in a Souls title, because [insert valid reason for inconsistency here.]

EDIT: I guess if I had to further expand on this, I'd say that female characters give me a way to explore options I don't have as a tall, bearded, broad, 'built' man. I've always loved cuteness, hyperfeminine fashion, "girly stuff", and so in addition to just really, really liking girls, video games allow me to explore the cute, feminine avenues I can't in the real world.

Also, as another commenter stated, I'd also just rather look at a girl's ass than a guy's for the entirety of a playthrough lmao

Believe me, the world is better off not seeing me in a short skirt and thigh highs.

It is definitely that good. We just don't want to share it.

Onii-Chan, 5 months ago

Those are certainly words.

Onii-Chan, 5 months ago

Absolutely agreed. I came here to escape proprietary corpo bullshit, and if we don't defederate, I'll just stop using kbin altogether. I love it here, but that will change if Meta's grimy tentacles are able to take hold of the place.

Defederate.

Same thing here in Australia. No semiautomatic rifles after Port Arthur, but everyone thinks we banned guns completely (we didn't, and there are more in the country now than ever in its history.)

We've still got semiautomatic handguns, our AR15's just became pump action, and our shotguns had little buttons or levers added as bolt releases in order to skirt the law, with new variations popping up every time a ban happens (check out the Templeton T2000 - fires just as quickly as a regular semi-auto 12 gauge and is totally legal to own in the easiest license class to obtain.) Hell, I own five guns myself, two of which are handguns (Glock 19 and Beretta 92X both in 9mm, 10rnd mags.)

What Australia DOESN'T have is a culture of gun fetishization. How any American thinks these laws will work in their state, let alone the entire country, is just insane to me. I also happen to think that a government disarming people is a really fucking bad idea, and even a growing number of young Aussies are starting to change their views in that area as well.

So good on ya. Hold onto that AR. I'll now accept everyone's inevitable downvotes.

I haven't watched television in years. YouTube is my main source of entertainment, closely followed by pirated TV shows and movies running through Kodi.

Aussie chiming in, school zones are 40km/h here.

This is something I'm very interested in too.

Email, Signal and SMS get notifications. Literally everything else is off, and I use Buzzkill to shorten the vibrate. I have ASD, and run my own business, so I get literally 30-40 SMS/200+ Signal notifications a day, and the constant BZZZZ BZZZZ actually causes me an immense amount of sensory overload. Buzzkill ensures that vibration pattern is nothing more than a very quick sub-half second, one-off buzz. The number of apps I actually have installed is so few, I can literally fit them on one screen, no scrolling required, and I check for the few app updates I'll need manually each day.

It's pea shooters all the way down.

AuDHD here, and I think he's fantastic.

Onii-Chan, 6 months ago

Australia too. I'll never understand it, and I live here.

Onii-Chan, 6 months ago

Spot on. My wife and I are actually making plans to move overseas. I'm ready to get out of here, but she wants to wait until the next federal election to get a guage on where things will be heading. In the meantime, we're saving as much money as we possibly can, because Australia isn't the country it used to be, and it's clear that we're both deeply-incompatible with the general culture of apathy, government trust, and rules, rules, rules. It's suffocating.

It's fucking surreal to see not only this, but the amount that Google knows about Pyongyang. I did try to get directions to the concentration camp lol

You know, I'm glad I'll be dead by the time the one world government is formed (not from old age or anything, I'll just check out early.) EDIT: Actually no, I'll definitely be dead as fuck either way. Thank god.

Joking, kind of. It's not like this list is indicative of any true future reality. The direction we're heading in is WAY worse.
