I have no intention of ever playing that game, it’s not my kinda game. I watched someone play a little bit of it, and out of curiosity wanted to see how wild the narrative got. The good ending is one of the most heartwarming things I’ve ever read.

    I have a genuine question, why do people give a shit about how large a Bethesda game is? I could attempt to make the worlds largest pizza and cover it in ketchup and candle wax but that wouldn't make it good.

    To me it seems odd being a size queen when your partner is Graham Linehan.

    Yeah I would agree it would suck ass if he added a stutter to Jones voice where there wasn't one, but he's just doing the bit well.

    Nobody on earth who recognizes Alex Jones as a goofy moronic asshole thinks its because of the cadence of his speech.

    “Originally, blowback was CIA internal coinage denoting the unintended, harmful consequences—to friendly populations and military forces”

    Seems the CIA would agree with him but I think people just get hung up when Hasan used the word “deserve”.

    America as a nation had it coming 100%

    I don’t think Hasan believes the men, women, and children that died “deserved it” but that’s what his detractors want you to hear. It doesn’t help that’s how he phrased it, and definitely doesn’t help how easily it can be removed from its context.

    Many people like to lazily think everything happens in a vacuum and will not spend any additional energy thinking why something happened through. And for those that do wonder, the first answers offered to them are propaganda and lies.

    Having two opinions of a situation like “9/11 was a horrible tragedy” and “America caused this to happen via its foreign policy” is simply too complex or world shattering for many people to accept. Especially when the pre-packaged pills are much easier to swallow.

    My mother has been experiencing back pain for a few months now, and insists her chiropractor is making it "tolerable."

    Whenever I plead with her to see a doctor or a physical therapist, or suggest that maybe the chiropractor is the problem she gets very upset with me. There is no convincing her of any alternative, she won't even get a second opinion and I'm not quite sure how to help at this point.

    My sister got her got her an appointment to see a massage therapist, which she went to and said nothing but good things about, but she will not budge on the chiropractor.

    I dunno maybe I'll just shut up about it, but it all just seems like quackery to me.

    i followed a "install any linux distro in 5 minutes" guide and after just 14 hours i finally have an OS that is running properly

    as a long time hater i must say its very nice and i like it a lot, especially considering microsoft is hellbent on making windows the worst OS as quickly as possible. i will say, im a big nerd and this stuff comes to me pretty easily but i still think hoping normies will adopt this is kinda insane

    anywho, its the year of linux or so i keep hearing

    also if anyone knows why my keyboard keeps disconnecting every 30 minutes or so, i would very much like to know why. its an anne pro 2 that i am using with a wired connection

    I’ve been parsing all of my monthly subscriptions because I’m broke as fuck and the only thing I’d rather not do without is a VPN. Are free VPNs a thing and are any of them worth using? I tried looking this up, but I feel like yall would know better then the normies

    edit: had someone hook me up, ty goat
