    ‘R-tarded’ is a slur, and I’m sick of otherwise “liberal” people going along with the right’s move to renormalize it

  • While they are incorrect about the specific term, their main point is correct. "Slave" was removed from the terminology. Same with Blacklist and Whitelist. They are no longer the preferred terms.

  • Do these look like fake cigarettes or used tampons?

  • Right? And even if we're talking about China tea sets and doilies, were talking what, like 1950's-1970's? So like, your grandparents? You're amazed that something your grandparents and maybe parents did is still known? And comparing that to the Wild West and stage coaches?

    Sounds like something a kid with no context would think up.

  • What TV series introduced a plot point, only to abandon or never properly explore or address it??

  • They did tho? He's a high ranking person in the cartel. He's directly responsible for Salamanca being in the wheelchair.

    I get what you're saying tho. They implied he was gonna be this legendary villian and then it's revealed that he's just another cookie cutter cartel member. It seemed like they were gonna go some route like he was a former cartel leader who got disgraced and was now building himself and his empire back up. But it kinda fell flat.

  • What do you expect to solve with this comment? It's just an attack wrapped in smugness. You're not going to gain anyone you didn't already have on your side with this attack. Be part of the solution, not more of the problem.

  • They say word-of-mouth marketing is the most effective form of marketing. What games did you (not) enjoy that came well-recommended by friends to you, and why did they recommend it to you?

  • For me it suffered from "show, don't tell" problems. There are numerous weeks long skips between scenes and you're just supposed to understand that Joel and Ellie became close during that time. But as a player, you're basically being asked to babysit someone you've known for 10 minutes. It was basically one long escort mission and the "OMG SO AMAZING SCENE" is.... giraffes walking by. Like really? That's what it takes to wow people? Some giraffes walking outside the building????

    The world was a generic apocalypse setting, the "story" can be described in a few bullet points, and the big "emotional gut punch" at the end is so cliche.

    I'll die on the hill that it didn't do a single groundbreaking thing. Nothing about the game wasn't already done before and better. It's the equivalent of a summer blockbuster movie: a fun mindless take on an idea but otherwise generic.

  • Although sometimes you get lucky and the tech support person actually admits that their routers are absolute garbage and while they won't necessarily say "you should buy your own", they don't fight you and subtly encourage you when you say you plan to do just that.

    Frontier tried to give us a dual band, single antenna router. 2.5ghz and 5ghz using the same antenna that just alternates between both networks constantly. The vast majority of my smart devices refused to connect because they need constant 2.4ghz network, not some laggy inconsistent psuedo dual network. Argued with the first tech support person trying to get them to understand that I physically could not use that router until they sent me to someone higher who admitted the routers were useless junk. Oh, and the settings could only be accessed by a web portal with limited functionality. The VAST majority of the features were locked behind customer service and having someone else do it for you. And of course their routers had a built in "free Wi-Fi for all our customers" hotspot set up so you were paying to extend THEIR network as well.

    Now I have a "gaming" router with 3 antennas that I have complete control over and all of my devices are happy.

  • I'm not gonna say your feelings are invalid or wrong or anything like that. Because for you, they are the truest thing imaginable.

    But what I will say, as someone who felt the same many years ago, is I'm sometimes surprised by how much my life has changed. And not in some hokey, feel-good "everything turns out fine!" way. Just in a simple "I'm really not the same person I was 10 years ago" way. Things that troubled me in the past seem miniscule and things I took for granted now seem like the biggest things ever.

    The way I eventually rationalized it is this: if you end it because it all just feels overwhelming, well, then that's it. But if you continue, you have so many chances for things. Something is better than nothing, right?

    I know it's tough, and I'm sorry, I really am. But keep fighting. It's worth it.

  • ‘All the trees are dead’: An ancient California forest has been wiped out

    Jump

  • Really sensationalist title. Should read "Forest of trees that need fire to reproduce were hit by a natural fire instead of the artificial burn that was planned because we did decades of 'no fire is good' prevention, leading to overgrowth and dead vegetation taking over, making the natural seasonal fires grow out of control".

    A little wordy, I'll admit. Key takeaway though is that this is what's supposed to happen. And would have happened to a lesser extent if we weren't meddling so much and preventing necessary fires because rich dolts build luxury homes in fire zones.

  • Because you're an anti-AI zealot unwilling to hear the other side so every conversation devolves into uselessness. You don't want to have a discussion, you just want people to agree with you.

    Exactly what the OP you responded to is saying.

  • Will you morons stop nitpicking this? Contextually, for an older person, she's still a child. Big whoop.

    She was beaten and you daft imbeciles are outraged over the use of words.

    You wonder why you get no progress? Because you're a bucket of crabs nitpicking anything that isn't perfect because that's easier than actually doing something.

  • BREAKING: Israeli authorities have beaten Greta Thunberg, made her kiss Zionist flag

    Jump

  • Ok, so you just keep wanting to try and derail this into talking about becoming conservative when you get older.

    For the last time you retarded mouse:

    An older person described Greta as "still a child" because from their perspective she is. I never said she wasn't worth listening to. Not once. Get some reading comprehension.

    And your daft retarded ass keeps missing that point over and over and over and going on and on about conservativism.

    You're retarded or a troll. Have fun being blocked cus I won't see you anymore. People like you are why they put warning labels on everything. You'll still die of stupidity, but at least your family won't be able to sue.

    Go huff the end of a tailpipe.

  • Oh, you have a SAYING?!? Omg, another vague generalization? Holy shit, how have we as a species survived for so long without your wisdom, Plato??? You need to tell the masses!

    Hey everyone, this guy has boiled down all of politics to a few simple sayings! We've found the Messiah!

    Fucking dumbass 😑

    Again, this is about someone older referring to a young person as "still a child". That's it, you fucking tool. How daft are you?

  • Cool, now let's talk about the overwhelming majority of today's youth leaning right. If young people are so much smarter why are so many of them falling into that trap?

    Oh shit, it's almost like making generalizations leads to you spouting bullshit out of context. I can just as easily paint today's youth as absolute morons.

    But you're so ready to be like "old people dumb and evil" that you forget this is all about calling Greta " a child". You know, like your grandma might do to your adult self because, from her perspective, you still are.

    Go touch some grass you fucking loser. We're talking about someone being abused and you're nitpicking over the definition of "child". You've missed the mark so far you're not even in the same stadium.

  • That's a bullshit generalization, or "stereotype". Jane Goodall just died at a ripe old age and she was a saint. You're not debating, just throwing bullshit assumptions out and acting like you just wrote a thesis paper on experience.
