If you’re in a busy place like a store or a restaurant, particularly one that is in a tourist area, don’t bother trying to speak the language - the primary goal is economic efficiency and if they speak English, trying to speak the language can come across as more performative than anything.

I never got motion sickness, but after my first extended No Man’s Sky VR session, I experienced something that is hard to explain... basically, it no longer felt like my body was my body. moving my hands felt weird, like i was piloting my body, not just... moving. it’s hard to describe, other than to say that my brain…

While I do fully condone calling out Boebert for being a hypocrite, but before this can really be taken seriously, the PAC in question should actually present some proof. At the moment it is fully leaning on just claiming that they are have seen the evidence, but it is questionable to publish such allegations without…

As a black man, I stopped participating in public voice chat years ago. The levels of toxicity just make any game unfun! 

Can attest that the narrative changes completely once they figure out you’re female.

Idk I'm not the inventor of the machine but that seems like a surmountable issue, so calm your throwing your hands up in the air tizzy about your freedums

No it’s not. Don’t start with the “slippery slope” bullshit. You wanna go to a public school? You’re forced to get vaccinations. College? Gotta get those jabs up to date. Taxes? Yep, you’re forced to pay those too (unless you’re ultra wealthy), and paying taxes is arguably the right thing to do. Want to legally…

Rare? Every 45 minutes someone dies due to a drunk driving. I know Americans are desensitized to death but Jesus Christ.

I think you’re right and wrong at the same time. For the good of us all, yes, they should be forced to vaccinate, but at the same time, we all should have bodily autonomy. I don’t know how to rectify the situation other than to lean toward individualism and accept what comes my way. 

“There won’t be any ungainly black boxes hanging from your steering column — your car will test your breath without you even realizing it.”

It would have to be done with some kind of eye recognition or something. I know how unreliable those damn breathalyzers are. Which seems odd to me they cannot come up with a really simple and good one by now. 

Let me pull your bootlicking ass out of the greys for a tick...

It’s also made more dangerous by our (lack of) gun laws. In most Western countries police officers don’t walk into every interaction assuming that the other party might be armed with a firearm. 

“Policing is a difficult, dangerous job”

I fire real guns semi-regularly and videogame guns extremely regularly...

There is nothing, NOTHING in a videogame that can prepare you for that level of force and power.

Nothing can prepare you for the first time a round gets jammed, and for half a second you feel like you’re holding a timebomb.

and besides that, I’ve…

MAYBE things would have gone differently if the arresting officers had known he killed a retired cop during his rampage, but that’s just fucked up in a different way. But yeah, it’s just “odd” how the guys with the body armor and guns and white supremacist manifestos never find themselves in choke holds or with knees…

When a racist psychopath kills double digits of people in Germany, it’s a major event that shocks the entire nation and gets declared a terrorist attack.

Below is excerpt of “no reasonable expectation of privacy in public places” explained.  

IMO they infringe on my right to privacy.

Sorry but I don’t get it, surely it’s the look of the license plate that ruins the front end, right? I don’t see how this wrap changes that. FWIW, I’ve never had a front plate on the 5 cars I’ve owned here in California. Most car people here consider it a $25 beauty tax if you get a front plate ticket.
