The amount of times I heard "le dollar bean, "sewer slidal," or "unalived" was part of what made me uninstall the app back in 2020. Got a little tired of willingly participating in the plot of 1984.

Having sex while eating. At the time I first had the idea (thanks Crush Crush) I was only really having sex with one person, who wasn't into the idea. I could prooooobably ask one of the other people I'm with now, though

Depending on where they are, it's most likely not enough, and that's if they can even qualify in the first place. Even people will well-documented disabilities struggle to get on assistance programs in some areas

My own personal experience over the past year with it has... Largely not lined up with that? The install process was easy, I do have gplay enabled but rarely use it, favoring fdroid, and it's... Been fine? It's felt mostly like stock android tbh

I'd say that it's a bigger red flag when they start introducing cash shop fashion items that aren't thematically appropriate, really. It happened with TERA shortly before it closed down.

Reason I say that is because I started playing FFXIV about a month ago, and it's a fashion show early game xD They have released thematically inappropriate apparel, but they're like... T-shirts that cost in-game money, I'm pretty sure TERA had a goddam little tikes car to drive around in.

Oh! And if it gets sold to Gamigo. That's another massive red flag. Happens so gods damned much.

It's about the same is what I was saying, yeah

I mean... American minimum wage comes out to $1256 monthly (assuming full-time, and that's pre-tax). Community college comes in pretty cheap at $450 a month on average, but four year universities come up to $4,800 on average (assuming full-time enrollment for both). The cheapest MD programs I can find are still close to twice the minimum wage, and that's assuming you get in-state tuition, since out of state is usually 2-3x more.

Oh, absolutely, I do very little to hide it online. Might start posting my RAADS-R score in profiles for fun xD

Ahh, fair. I generally see that as a justification for recommending it to the general public, sorry xD

Fair point. I'll need to figure out which stick it is, and if it's the old one hope they're still in business

someone just told me I was willing to die on a hill for my opinion

Yeah I saw that one, that was... Weird as hell.

This may not be the case here, but idioms like this can sound particularly weird when they're in a language that isn't your first language

Or when you're autistic, which is the case here, I'm a native English speaker xD

It is about steadfastly holding to an unpopular (...) opinion in the face of adversity.

Yeah, I frequently don't share those opinions to avoid the adversity. Not all of them, hell if you sort by "Most controversial" on my profile there's some good examples of me dying on a hill. More just the quiet beliefs that shape massive swathes of my worldview that I don't talk about frequently for one of a number of reasons.

Think that one might be the root of why this thought occurred to me, tbh; the difference between the opinions I hold that I will actively argue in favor of, vs the ones I hold that I don't really talk about in any context because, while they're important to me, they're not worth arguing over.

You said you have a few opinions you would be willing to die for. That's probably a bit more extreme than this phrase is intended for.

Fair, yeah. I tend to overanalyze these things, it's fun for me xD

There are a lot of opinions I'll likely have until I die, but comparatively few that I'm willing to die for.

Remember: Companies don't learn lessons, they react to profits. They're 100% gonna boil the frog here.

Surgeons have to have really strong stomachs (herbicide.fallcounty.omg.lol)

Vaguely talking about unsanitary topics

Not even just for the obvious gorey stuff. Saw a video going over a case where someone's entire gut stopped working, and one of the options presented was surgically removing the blockage. Made me realize it's not just the obvious gross stuff that comes up.

It seems like a weird point to bring up. How often do y'all convert your measurements? It's not even a daily thing. If I'm measuring something, I either do it in inches, or feet, rarely yards. I've never once had to convert feet into miles, and I can't imagine I'm unique in this. When I have needed to, it's usually converting down (I.e. 1/3 of a foot), which imperial does handle better in more cases.

Like. I don't care if we switch, I do mostly use metric personally, it just seems like a weird point to be the most common pro-metric argument when it's also the one I'm least convinced by due to how metric is based off of base 10 numbering, which has so many problems with it.

Edit: After reading/responding a lot in the comments, it does seem like there's a fundamental difference in how distance is viewed in metric/imperial countries. I can't quite put my finger on how, but it seems the difference is bigger than 1 mile = 1.6km
