Scouting for hotties.

Ok, now that the CURRENT phase of enshittification is complete.

I think it’s an unfair stigma to judge crack worse than cocaine

Like so many stupid things that don’t make sense, it originated in racism.

Basically, the Reagan administration realized that more black people used crack than powder cocaine and it was the other way around for white people, so they made the sentencing for crack harsher by a margin of 100:1 to make sure there were more black victims of the War On Drugs than white ones.

This, combined with the Reagan, Bush, and afair also Clinton administrations demonizing crack users as the ultimate example of “it’s their own fault for the moral failing of doing street drugs” bullshit, and the for profit yellow media happily following their lead, is why even people without a bigoted bone in their bodies still think that crack is a hundred times worse than the pharmacologically identical powder cocaine.

Google is wrong. As it usually is now that the enshittification is complete.

Or the frustratingly unkillable body of Wade Wilson (Deadpool)

Using KolMafia for configurable automation and tons of other helpful scripts and the wiki to look stuff up helps tremendously! If I had to go without either, I’d probably burn out pretty fast too lol

Is it a genetic thing?

Probably more of a cultural one. Like how even Americans with Scandinavian ancestry consider black liquorice taste bud poison but us Scandinavians IN Scandinavia generally can’t get enough of it 😁

Professional Kingdom of Loathing player, I guess! I may spend more time on other things, but other than biological necessities, KoL is the only thing I do every day no matter where I am 😁

Yeah, rights are for people. Not entrenched power structures arranged within semi-arbitrary lines on a map.

Islam used to be the forefront of scientific and mathematical discovery.

No, Islamic COUNTRIES did. They didn’t achieve excellence in science because Islam benefitted science.

They achieved excellence in science compared to Christian countries in large part because their religious authority figures didn’t stand in the way anywhere near as much. Not because religion helped.

Believing in god have nothing to do with science

Not true. They are polar opposites. That’s why scientists are disproportionately atheist and agnostic: the evidence based mode of thinking employed in science doesn’t mix with the superstitious and unquestioningly convinced thinking of religion without some SERIOUS cognitive dissonance.

it’s that irrational thought that make us human

No. That’s not being human, that’s being brainwashed and/or obedient to authority.

You’re right that it’s irrational and that irrationality is an inherent part of being human, but the SPECIFIC irrationality of religion is learned and enforced, NOT inherent.

I’m currently playing Yakuza 0 and planning on playing the Kiwami editions of 1 and 2 afterwards. Would you recommend going back to the 2009 Yakuza 3 for the intended story progression after that or skip ahead?

Edit: found out about the 3-5 remasters, definitely gonna do those after Kiwami 2. Guess I have a couple of hours of aggravated assaults and saving damsels left. Gaming too 😛

OMFSM YES! I’d forgotten all about that great game!

Rock Manager. It was very limited in scope and quite short, but it was a really fun game with tons of potential.

I’ve been unsuccessfully looking for games like it that are as good as it could have been or even as good as it was for over 20 years now.

Somewhat relevant xkcd

In a word? No.

In three words? No, definitely not.

In five words? Never Gonna Give You Up

You mean like this guy?

Okeydoke, fixed!

You and me both 😁

Update: I checked and apparently they pronunciation is significantly different so that he doesn’t in fact just go around bragging about how big he is 😆
