  • How do y'all feel joy without alcohol or weed?

  • Smelly is, as far as I know, still sober. As is Hefe. I think Melvin is still using occasionally, and Mike does what the winds advise.

    Book is fantastic. The audiobook is hard to get through because they narrate it themselves, and it really drives home how much at odds they have been for a while now. There’s what’s not said in the inflection of their voices that makes it hit different than reading it did.

  • The irony of those lyrics being that the reason NOFX aren’t touring anymore is because Mike can’t do it without being really high and super drunk.

    But completely agree with you on music being an avenue for op to explore.

  • Greek yoghurt. I can smell a container of it from across a room. I don’t hate it, but I can’t sleep in a room with a cup that hasn’t been rinsed out after being eaten.

  • A rent-a-cop likely has an even bigger inferiority complex, and is potentially more dangerous, for one. Being unable to become a real cop is like being unable to win a staring contest against yourself in a mirror.

  • Parrying Is The Worst Thing In Video Games

    Jump

  • It’s the QTE debate all over again. If it’s a forced mechanic, meaning there’s no alternative than to learn the pattern and parry effectively, I agree with this guy that it sucks. But I haven’t seen many games where that’s the case.

    Modern accessibility standards seem to be doing a better job of making games enjoyable by a wider range of players, giving options to disable QTEs entirely on one end, or offering alternative solutions to fights besides mastery of timing dependent actions on the other.

  • You’re right, and your take is more nuanced. A huge thing about it being a private company is that they aren’t required to disclose who has ownership stakes, performance against revenue targets, etc. Ostensibly, anyone who isn’t on the inside, and even employees who aren’t privy to management decisions, will be met with more or less a black box about the company’s drivers.

  • Many things aren’t important. Life isn’t about strict necessity.

  • F.D.A. Poised to Restrict Access to Covid Vaccines

  • The evidence doesn’t support the outsized FUD. Firearms in general are dangerous. A $500 novelty that very few gun owners will ever purchase or install isn’t a serious safety concern. Seemingly only one instance of one being used in a shooting in Fargo in 2023. That situation was tragic, and the police who responded likely prevented the shooter from committing a larger and more destructive attack. But the fact remains that these things are novelties or gimmicks. They make shooting the gun worse in nearly every way, and have extremely limited practical application.

  • This alarmist and factually dubious fear mongering is part of what is hurting the Democrats and the left in the US. Binary triggers do not turn a firearm into a “fully automatic machine gun”. What they do is cause the gun to fire on both the trigger pull and the trigger reset. This allows the shooter to fire very quickly, but not as fast as a true automatic weapon. Machine gun, and assault rifle both have specific legal definitions that hinge on the firearm firing multiple rounds with one trigger action. A standard trigger has two actions for every trigger pull - the pull and the reset. This is why these devices are technically legal. It’s also why bump stocks are legal.

    It’s splitting hairs and is pedantic, but the tilted and inaccurate narrative only serves to disenfranchise people who lean left but also enjoy firearms.

    All that said - restricting access to this vaccine is asinine and needlessly dangerous. To your point, we paid for this medicine with our taxes, our isolation, and unfortunately with many lives. Fuck this administration and the spineless republicans who enable them to trample on our rights.

  • More accurately, perfect for people who don’t care to tweak, fiddle, or configure their devices. Being literate with technology doesn’t immediately mean that someone wants a device that offers them the flexibility to customize it. I don’t use an iPhone because I don’t understand technology, but rather because I prefer a device that doesn’t require any effort to use. Yes, it’s limited in some of the things it can do as a result, but the ecosystem is so seamless and free of troubleshooting that it’s valuable for me to not have to do any work outside of work.
