My parents both openly smoked weed in front of my from a young age. I was told that as long as I was home by curfew and didn’t come home in a cop car they were fine with me doing basically whatever cuz they knew I wasn’t a complete moron (my dad worked in the school system and knew all the ACTUAL problem children really well, they hated me because of that so I never got to be a hoodlum lol), though my nugs WERE taken from me at 15 because “you were dumb enough to let us catch you with it” which is fair but I say they were out and bumming off of me without saying so lol

As for sex I got a quick talk about using a condom after my dad caught my GF and I doing it, but otherwise it was left mostly unsaid cuz my sex Ed wasnt trash

Because they’re 2 different types of vehicle

You’re inside the moving vehicle and should you not be attached to it you’ll bounce around the inside or go flying out the window in a crash

A motorcyclist is not contained, and thus it’s dumb to attach them to the dangerous and heavy metal should a crash occur. We instead require protective gear (unless you live in a shitty state) so you get less injured if you go flying

Proton

Mullvad is good like the other guy said but Proton has port forwarding, which if you don’t wanna be a HnR jerk you wanna do

Or, alternatively, you can bootstrap into a fine red mist as you get stuck to it and violently flung about

Lathes rule

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

They also combined Caravan POI’s with Tourist destinations, which really really fucked things up for people wanting to just see those and not thousands of other locations they want nothing to do with. Why are churches also mixed in there too? Makes no damn sense.

You can edit those out, though I agree them being there by default is fucking stupid, full stop

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

Probably because DT has seriously damaged many people’s view on their storytelling ability

ARR->EW is a fucking great ride though

Yeah, that’s how YouTube works: you don’t pay for individual videos

If someone wants to go that route for their content then there are sites for that

Because I can get the same results + more for free

If you run your own server it’s as simple as setting

Online-Mode: false

And installing an account management plugin if you open it to other players (so people can’t just easily change names and impersonate someone)

I exclusively played on and ran cracked servers for 6 years (2011-2017), shit rules

I know my dad and I played Ace Combat, Crash Bandicoot, and Independence Day when I was suuuuuper young, so it’s probably one of those 3

Horrifically enough I remember equating one of the power-ups in ID to the shirt Steve from Blues Clues wore (this might legit be my earliest memory period) so it’s probably that steaming pile of garbage

Caffeine and nicotine are legit organic insecticides, that might be a deeper joke about coffee and cigarettes powering development

Unless it’s some really obscure app it should be on APK mirror or a similar site, no?

That way you can update your stuff (generally a good idea if it connects to a network) and if something is ruined you can downgrade back to an older APK pretty easily

My Pixel has a search bar at the bottom of my home screen that lets me search the web or for shit on my phone, so for me it’s just tap ‘n’ go

And it’s a widget that works on my 3rd party launcher!

Yes, after the rep had personally been trying to play dumb for almost 30 minutes. As a CSR myself I know it shouldn’t take 30 minutes to explain your delivery person THREW MY PACKAGE OVER MY 8 FOOT FENCE FEDEX I FUCKING SAW THEM DO IT. THE PACKAGE SAID FRAGILE ON IT YOU STUPID CUNTS WHY IS THIS SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND I HAVE SECURITY FOOTAGE

I kinda blacked out because I absolutely loathe being unkind to customer-facing workers but dear Christ this was a $300 object and I could hear the smugness as the guy played up his Indian accent (suddenly much more understandable after I snapped) while saying “I’m sorry sir I don’t see what the problem is they delivered your package???”

Fuck that guy, he deserves nasty customers every call

Removed by mod

I had no trouble with this as a kid, seeing people always complain about it is wild. I even picked up the game again last year on emulator to try it again and best it first try once I fixed input lag issues

You wanna talk impossible?

The actual last mission of this game on the hard difficulty might as well be RNG for now fucking hard dodging the NPCs that spawn are, as they’re faster than you

And I am not talking about hate from transphobes, fuck those guys

A little self-hate is always nice
