Copious amounts of chemical filters in order to avoid processing reality.
Or just disconnect from the false internal narrative that things were ever going to be okay. History is one big story of shitty things happening to good people. If you get rid of the just-world fallacy and accept that this part of humanity just crops up sometimes, you'll probably be happier.
Yeah the world is collapsing, it does that every 50 years or so.
I'm a sub for a local Middle school and the kids are so fucked.
Some history teacher taught about the Maine ship explosion and how it was used as a pretense for the Spanish-American War and immediately a group of kids started espousing anti-Spanish views. I thought it was a joke at first but then a kid from Spain got jumped at lunch today and was called an Spanish slur I never even heard of before today.
Barbecue is absolutely a class issue and I have unironically ghosted people over it before.
Yeah, but my good personal friend Nick Mullen of the Adam Friedland Show advertised it to me so now I have to like it.
The answer is you wouldn't have one. You'd have a mobile device with AR capabilities that projects a screen monitor into your office. This is why Meta is pushing shit like the MetaQuest despite it being a glorified toy. The ultimate goal is a mobile device that acts only as a gateway to cloud computing platforms.
Yep, this is unironically the future of computing unfortunately.
Every single "bullshit" advancement you've seen so far has been leading up to this. The focus on developing cloud infrastructure, subscriptions services being normalized, and even the metaverse. Eventually, you will own one device and that will be a phone / VR headset. It'll act as a glorified monitor in AR which connects to a cloud computer to actually do anything. You will literally be unable to have privacy or install software that isn't approved.
I also wouldn't be surprised if AI is partially a scam to raise DRAM prices enough to make home computing less affordable.
I think there's a bit too much ice in this mini-soda.
It'll get all watery 
Hexbear party line is that #TeamJacob and #TeamEdward should get together and have an exciting gay relationship instead of more straight-slop.
Genuinely good game imo. Themes of self-improvement and love are good. The girls are actual characters and there's a nice friendship arc before the relationship. The game doesn't end with a confession and it actually shows how the relationship plays out. I don't think it's a "porn game" as you call it. There are certainly sex scenes but most of the writing is sincere not horny. You aren't going to have random tit shots or bikini armor if that's what you're worried about. It's also not a harem anime, you get a love interest and a friend in each route.
I'm not a person with disabilities so ymmv with that part but I thought it was respectful enough. All of the characters are fully formed with dreams and problems that don't just revolve around why they're at the school. It strikes a nice balance between highlighting their struggles while also showing them live complete, fulfilling lives.
It got me genuinely emotionally invested when I read it as a young adult. It can be cringe, but only in the way that every sincere attempt to display emotions are. Overall, a solid 8/10 if you're just passing by. An easy 9.5 if you vibe with the characters. Don't be put off by Kenji, he's probably the only stumbling block you'll come across. He's supposed to be a bit ridiculous. Also, use a guide since the point system will be arcane to a newbie.
Go for it, it's free and genuinely good.
If you haven't been banned at least once, then you haven't effort posted on this site. If you haven't noticed a problem with the moderation, then you haven't been paying attention.
But accounts are cheap to make so it's not like you lose anything. I'd prefer if this site was all anonymous posters to prevent cliques and other shit.
A liberals understanding The Paradox of Tolerance is that we should have the moral right to be cruel little shits to the political out-group because they do it too.
It proves they never really cared about actually tolerating minorities and correcting their viewpoints. It's something they shouldn't do but now that they can they'll relish it like a white supremacist reading Huck Finn aloud in a black church.
I feel the same way but for a different reason.
The more I've grown, the more I've come to distance myself from the cause of humanity. I used to think that capitalism was the problem, but my disagreement with people is something far deeper. In 10,000 years, when a there isn't a single living memory of war, hunger, scarcity, and racism, children will still bully the fuck out of the ugly and neurodiverse. There is something instinctual in humanity that seeks to exclude others. People make outcasts of those they deem unfit for their tribe. You can extend the definition of tribe, you can even attempt to smother the behavior, but you'll never be able to change that essential reflex.
