I’d never heard of S mode until my aging mother needed to get on a Zoom call with her doctor, and I couldn’t install the app on her laptop because of it.

I set her up to use the web browser mode instead. Leaving it on was for the best at that point. I kinda figured S mode meant senior mode like for old people or something, idk. It certainly prevented her from installing anything bad by accident: and it was just a youtube and email thing for her anyway.

Obviously it’s not the same as something like heroin or benzos but it’s more than just more dreams.

It’s not even the same as caffeine, my dude.

Wow, you remember vivid dreams. That’s clearly withdrawl.

…In the most technical sense, only. You’re technically correct, the best form of correct. Which is pretty much the definition of pedantry.

That’s about it. I am getting a good amount of pushback from people who very much like the idea that being able to dream again and not being high are withdrawl.

And sure, they’re all technically correct in the most pedantic way.

Shocked that discord employed 1k people tbh.

The legislative branch has been busted for so long that they literally ceded power to go to war to the executive for the good of the nation. Y’all can feel free to undo that at any time once you’re not completely broken.

This article seems to imply that stopping heavy marijuana use can lead to withdrawal symptoms.

Yeah, I’m calling bullshit on that.

Never was a fan of blaming the entire dumpster fire on the leader of the executive branch any more than I believe we should blame that leader for things like gas prices.

What exactly do we expect the leader of the executive branch to do when the leadership of the judicial branch invalidates a law written by the legislative branch many years ago when it was able to agree on such things.

How much power are we willing to cede to a single person (the president) as a result of our legislative branch being completely unable to function? The legislative branch creates laws, the judicial branch rules on if those laws are constitutional and the executive has a veto and controls the armed forces and foreign policy (among honestly, maybe too many other things). I feel like rewatching schoolhouse rock might be fun. Let’s do that, huh?

Never play Star Citizen, even if it somehow becomes playable. Got it.

Lol, who is this comment for?

Me: I don’t like the level up system of an ancient RPG because I invariably feel drawn to minmax based on the design. It just sucks the fun out of the game for me every time I try.

You: Maybe relax and pretend not to have that issue.

Back up, he’s a hero.

100%, well said!

I think the issue could be distilled down to the fact that women globally have been forced due to economic factors to choose the workplace over the home. It’s a good idea for women to have equal rights in the workplace, and they should be able to choose a career over a family. But basically, every economy shifted to the point where now you need two average salaries to support a household. This means keeping one parent home to watch the kids is financial suicide for most families.

The results are fewer children, dumber children, and a shittier society. Tax incentives for having kids are a start, but not nearly enough to tip the scales at all.

My issue with Morrowind is the level up system where you gotta metagame it to get +5s for 3 stats per level if you want to be most efficient. And you gotta max endurance ASAP to gain the maximum potential health by end game. I simply can not handle it. It sucks the fun right out of the game for me.

Ah, the cowards way out. Why engage with a question that obliterates your argument when you can feign moral superiority and refuse to think about it?

Don’t you guys have like a fuck load of slaves?

Civil tongue? Sorry what?

How would she even tease you if her naked body doesn’t get you going?

Just out of curiosity, total non sequitur here:

Do you believe homosexuality is a choice?

Yeah, but you’re not going to stop people (generally) from getting horny when looking at breasts no matter how much you educate them. So idk what your goal is.

It’s hard-wired.
