Yeah, mania can present as rage.

Oh, it’s not too bad. Rounds up to $60 a year and averages out to about $15 per game.

We had a sock basket when I was a kid!

Somehow Walmart is leading innovation, launching a butthole logo in '07. Truly ahead of their time.

Teddy sniffing glue, he was twelve years old, fell from the roof on East 2-9, Cathy was eleven when she pulled the plug, twenty six reds and a bottle of wine.

But people don’t like that song, so you’re right about not wanting to talk about it.

If you can be my bodyguard, I can be your long-lost pal, I can call you Betty; and Betty, when you call me, You can call me Al

You jest, but…

You can’t just say you made a youtube rant about it without posting a link.

I’m in the middle of pulling a chat friend out of his programming. His only real problem was being raised in Texas by a Good Ol Boy single father, and once he got out from under his dad’s wing, he started to realize that what he was taught simply isn’t lining up with reality.

He started out as an incel, but now he’s in therapy and has a girlfriend.

I think of it less as ‘converting’ and more just holding his hand while he figures out that his dad’s advice was complete horseshit. It takes forever, and not everybody has the spoons to pull it off, but I do, so I will.

Yeah, I got accusations thrown at me after letting a trans lady crash at my place when she came out and her ex-wife kicked her out of the house. Everybody was an adult, but the ex-wife found a friend in the TERFs, and they think trans rights is pedo apologism.

I got molested by my babysitter when I was 5, and it was incredibly infuriating to hear people say it was the same as a fucking divorce.

I mean, that drunk uncle is now old enough to be a grandparent who looks after the kids while both parents work two jobs each.

I think it’s because it’s great for group messages too. SMS/MMS is kinda shit, especially when somebody has an iPhone and their iMessage interferes (seriously, enough of the ‘loved an image’ spam). IRC gets blocked on a lot of public networks because of its association with piracy, so that makes it less than reliable.

Discord is pretty full featured too, like IRC doesn’t do group calls, and getting a group phone call going is a pain. Being able to have different channels is also super nice, because you can have a channel for, idk, birthday party planning to keep it from vanishing in the general daily chitchat. I’ve used it with roommates to get everybody on board with a grocery list before, because we all had Discord accounts anyways.

It’s just useful enough as a community tool.

The revolution will not be televised

Allegedly park rangers in the 80s were complaining it was hard to make bear-proof garbage bins because people are sometimes stupider than the bears.

I just have trust problems whenever somebody says a medical condition is 100% one thing and nothing else could ever cause or cure it. I’ve had too many doctors tell me that my GI problems are just anxiety and couldn’t possibly be a real thing. I’ve had doctors tell me that my GI problems are actually an eating disorder and I need more antidepressants. I’ve had doctors tell me that I should be happy about my GI problems because a lot of people struggle with losing weight.

So yeah, diet is a tricky subject for me right now, because all I want to do is eat a normal meal, and the main response I’ve gotten has been “have you tried eating normal meals?”

It is currently unknown whether dietary weight loss interventions can induce regression of carotid atherosclerosis.

I just did a quick search, maybe you have a better source I can refer to?

Edit: Specifically for the 100% claim, not saying diet doesn’t help.

And heart disease is 100% preventable through diet that is cheaper than the SAD.

I need a source on congenital heart disease not existing.

They want us to be poor and sick so we’re easier to control.

Because “totally preventable” is financially unaffordable for most of us. My insurance won’t help pay for vaccines unless I get them done during a PCP appointment, but those are scheduled months in advance. I normally go to my local pharmacy and pay $20 for a flu shot, but covid vaccines are like $100-300 without insurance.

I’ve had gastro problems for a few years now, but because insurance and bureaucracy, I JUST got a scope done yesterday and they found a bunch of ulcers in my intestines that I’ve just been living with, untreated, because there’s no option to speed things up without money. It COULD have been caught years ago, but getting prompt medical care is too bougie for me.

Ohhhh, okay, The sarcasm went completely over my head, sorry!
