If you know this about yourself, why can’t you just fucking ask your partners if they are comfortable with everything you are doing? Why are you putting the onus on people to understand how your personality works and adjust accordingly?

...and the jerk showed up. Go away.

The message is more “you don’t have to be religious to be spiritual” than “god is dead.”

If Luke was a bad ass who solves all the problems and shit then it would make the new characters boring and pointless.

Luke with milk in his beard is about demystifying the last Jedi.

Hey— there’s nothing I can do but point it out.

Oh, I’m not particularly anti-AA. I think meetings are immensely helpful and really a sturdy way to get started, especially. I just have a few personal qualms with the meetings I have attended over the years. It is more that AA has a pretty abysmal success rate, which isn’t an issue in-and-of-itself but does become a…

“Anxiety” doesn’t mean what you think it means.

Nah, that’s AA hogwash.

The “real” test is if the question provokes an anxiety. In this case, panthercougar showed, quickly, that it did provoke an anxiety due to the need to respond and disagree instead of just moving along.

They say something, you write a scathing takedown of their inadequate responses.

The world abounds with emotional masochists.

This is my response as well. VR isn’t some kind of live-or-die tech. It will only get better and more pervasive. This is like being worried in 2001 that they’ll stop making content in 16:9 because there are downgraded 4:3 releases for current, and fading, standards.

You can quickly see that none of this is about making the world a better place. It is about finding an easy target for all the rage and anger boxed up inside of us. We can’t do much other than watch the GOP dismantle our social safety net, so we go after easy targets that don’t require any actual procedure other than…

Also: the minute the Republicans start with their “class war” bullshit, the Democrats will run screaming in the other direction.

I’m with you. I picked up NMS just two days ago on sale, because it works great with my new SteamLink. NMS is a relaxing, interesting single-player survival game set in space.

Your friend should get on Tinder. Not to “hook up” but just to get some measure of affirmation and connection. It works pretty damn well and finding people to just chat and talk is a lot easier than it may seem.

The older I get, the more I can’t shake Situationism. It seems to inherently explain and inform everything in a way that few other cogent concepts are able to do.

The silver lining to this crap is that the GOP non-response to PR’s crisis will be the straw that flips Florida blue.

This is because we don’t communicate anymore, we simply yell past. It is what occurs when we stop engaging with things themselves, and begin engaging with the world through arms-length mediums which provide think representation of the real thing, but are entirely poor facsimiles.
