It really sucks you feel that way just existing. I mean that genuinely, and I think you really are touching on something here.

Because women have a similar problem where they are viewed as sexual conquests or objects to be won- just for existing. So you're a little sensitive about noticing if someone sees you as a bad person, and I might be more sensitive on if someone sees me as an object not a person. It really is two sides of the same coin, and we all have more in common with eachother than we have differences.

I am am old lady though and I assure you that your insecurities about women feeling unsafe around you is more about your awareness and not necessarily reality. Frankly harassment and all that crap is just background noise for women IRL anyway so a chill dude who I have a normal interaction with isn't gonna register on my radar regardless of how he looks. I pay way more attention to body language and tone. Thanks for being a good friend to women.

Anyway this all got way off topic and what I originally meant was I just am not surprised men who are PoS in other aspects are into teens and are horrible there too.

Yes thank you. I agree with this, I just posted a knee jerk reaction. I don't literally think all men are pedophiles. I've met so many though that Yeah I won't be shocked at all if some billionaire is another flavor of scum than what it took to be a billionaire like you said.

I'm really sorry I don't mean I go around assuming every (or any) man is a pedophile or capable of it.

Just my lived experience is plenty of "normal" men are unsafe in some way, so when I see any signs I don't brush them off. And the signs aren't basic "likes and get along with children" double standard stuff. I'm not bristling at dad's on playgrounds or uncles with good relationships.

And a 5 year age difference between adults is insignificant. You shouldn't feel any need to defend it

I definitely have some other people's cringe moments living rent free in my mind for years

Now that's what I call Facism

I am amazed and shocked every time the line is crossed.

It is crossing it farther and farther as well, with increasing similarities to other authoritarian lead countries in history.

My shock is not one of ignorance but defying normalcy.

However this stuff has been great for people who didn't pay attention much before or believe stuff before. This time the administration is barely trying to sugarcoat what they are doing.

I once wrote in the sex Ed annonymous question box how snakes have sex and the teacher got pissed and threw it away like it was a prank.

I really wanted to know :(

Now I do! Kinda! I know it looks cooler than mamals mating at least

Wow that whole 'we don't have a child starvation problem, we have a child obesity problem' as evidence it doesn't exist.... that's just evil genius levels for political soundbites.

Evil because they are two side of the same coin! And genius deflection because one has physical evidence we all see everyday. Americans are fat and the media publishes articles of how our kids are fat, not how they are hungry. And if you may see that hungry kid you won't know they are hungry if you don't know them.

Frankly his first reply "get a job" is his real truth though.

Space Command, the lawmakers stated, [...] The move “sets our space defense apparatus back years, wastes billions of taxpayer dollars, and hands the advantage to the converging threats of China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea,” the delegation wrote.

Ahhh. There's the truth.

This is the type of shit that news should actually talk about if the point was to have informed citizens/voters

First Gaming PC (lemmy.world)

I have had playstation for a while, but aside from Petz, Rollercoaster tycoon, and the sims <4 I never had a pc that could handle games.

I was gifted a used custom gaming PC cuz the owner was getting a new one! I have an $80 steam gift card I'd love to spend on multiple pop culture classic games I've missed out on and can only enjoy on PC/Xbox.. my favorite are 3rd person rpg with exploration as an important element in learning about the lore/story. Some sort of reward for exploring thar isn't loot.

Games I loved

  • Control

  • Horizon zero dawn

  • Persona 5/royal Those three are S tier life changing, think about forever types

  • Bishop trilogy (2 is best @me bro)

  • P5 strikers

  • Persona 4 golden

  • Final fantasy, 7, 9, 10, 13, 15

  • Catherine Full Body

  • Alan Wake

  • Ni no Kuni2

  • The forgotten city

  • Until dawn

  • A plague tale 1 innocence

  • TLOU1

  • Uncharted 1-3

  • Portal 1 & 2

Meh

  • life is strange 1
  • TLOU2
  • Nier automata (ikr, wtf? )

Did not finish/Gave up for lack of interest

  • Mass effect 1 (and thus none of the sequels)
  • Little nightmares
  • Fallout 4
  • Cyberpunk 2077 and not for glitch reasons
  • Ghostwire

So far the only game I'm sure of is the fable series but I dont even know what version to get? It often gets confusing for older games for a newbie

Computer details: Intel i9, 32gb ram, and Nvidia GeForce rtx 2070

 

***Edit: deux ex

So I have access to the ps plus catalog. I'm really excited they have disco elysium the final cut, and dues ex mankind divided

My brain has muddled these two awesome franchise pop culture knowledge where I feel like I'm more or less able to go into either blind and I wanna preserve that! The thing is it's not really clear to me for either title if I'd be playing a sequel (or something that is better enjoyed with prior context)

So I guess my question is for these two games, what should ideally be the order placement? Even if I just watch a yt essay on a previous game I don't have access to just to have some good groundwork context.

I also am curious what games you discovered that is available through similar subscriptions. Were you pleasantly surprised? Just meet average expectations?

 

Here is the Opening Draft [01:32], which could serve as a trailer.

And his current project/upcoming video is the entire series of Power Rangers

 

Ya'll jealous of my black 08 prismacolor fine line marker and pilot precise v7 rt.

Okay what the fuck is that last one? Why does it sound like a sports car marketed to males 14-26?
