Tim’s strategy seems to be “Whatever Valve drops, we take because we feel Valve is missing out on something BIG! It’ll make US look great!”

And while the sad truth of the matter could very well be a maybe, depending on how the pure-epic userbase are over there towards it, it still pales to everything Steam has been built to be.

Oh are they finally running out of that oil money they’re known for?

If so, good, stop throwing your damn weight around and contaminate whatever you touch.

When I want to quit your game, I mean it.

I do not want to be prompted several times as attempts to keep me in the game when I just want to leave.

By the way, you may never know if spanking your kids ends up turning them either into boiling teapots ready to blow or someone who may later be into it a little too much to be a porn star. Never know.

You’re on the money with this one.

ADHD, Depression and Anxiety is stupid common for this very reason. People self-diagnose themselves all of the time, too afraid to go to therapists because maybe there’s a good chance that the therapist might tell them that they’re wrong and over-blowing themselves about what they think they have.

I sympathize with actual mental health sufferers, who have had their care stalled and stagnated, because a lot of these self-diagnosing types are blurring the lines.

Then when you try educating the fakers, out come the accusations that you “hate people who suffer mentally” and that “you don’t understand.”

Oh we do, we’re waiting for you to finally come around!

I really wish this was the norm. I never understood why the lights have to be so damn bright, why the music has to be loud and repetitive and just general noise. I remember having gone to Wal-Mart when they once were 24/7 and going in at 2 in the morning to shop was pure damn bliss. Much better than the times I’ve gone in and people are stupid, noisy and in your way all of the time.

You’re telling this to someone who has been on 30 years online, that little regurgitated and redundant statement of yours, was only relevant for the past 15 of those years. Services that were offered for free made it by just fine, the problem is greed, in that which you don’t care to see.

Let me spin that little statement of yours around since you want to try and sound smart, you go to buildings of grocery stores, banks .etc for free. Guess what? YOU’RE ALWAYS THE PRODUCT! So don’t just think it’s an internet-only thing. Now go touch some grass.

I don’t think there really is a good job that’s easy to get, not without what you may need to sacrifice.

And I’m talking, whether you’re okay with living out your comfort zone. Long commutes, potentially living in hotels or cities that have nothing but a Dollar Tree and chain-plaza stores that have nothing else going for them.

Those are things one has to factor in.

No I wouldn’t.

E-Mail is an essential tool and so is using a search engine. When ProtonMail was offering a subscription just so I can have multiple folders, that turned me off.

I hate that what is deemed essential, is turned into a monetizing scheme. God forbid those of us lived in a time where search engines were useful and e-mail was perfected. Now we’re in the era of monetizing everything so those two features have been enshittified.

I like the sound of Schumerats. There’s no ounce of Democrat in him.

Despite Chuck Berry predating them by 2 years. Elvis, Buddy Holly and several others making their crafts.

It was exactly the same case for metal music. Black Sabbath is hailed as the founders of Metal music, but there had already been seeds planted for the genre to blossom anyways before they were a thing.

The thing about inventions is that, a fair amount of them will have a name tied to it who you’ve never ever heard before. But you’ll most likely believe the name that is tied to it but should be more credited with refining the invention to what it would be. And one poster clearly explained that.

There will always be someone somewhere inventing something, but there’s also opportunists out there ready to pounce, take up the invention, patent it before someone else does and run away with the credit.

“I mean…you know…it just sounded like a good idea in our minds. So uh…will you please be with us next year?”

And nothing will be done about him.

That’s why monopolizing is bad for IPs.

Nothing is more apparent with the child and the toys analogy more than what Disney has been doing with Marvel.

That’s okay, not like your soup isn’t jacked up to shit with sodium. People are tasting more salt in your shit-ass idea you call a soup than the actual so-called ingredients you put in it.

Man, look at most of these well-off parents splurging on their kids. Are you sure the economy is in the sinker? /s

Eating boogers strengthens your immune system.

I mean, it’s plausible, because the idea of building your immune system is exposure to some of those things. Not trying to invalidate the other methods because those should be a better alternative. Some studies suggested boogers can help.

The moment I catch a driver who has the bumper sticker or window decal of a stick figure with the ‘It’ on the right side humping it, that’s a person with 60 IQ right there.

9 years too late, but I’m eager to know where this will all go. Should’ve happened in 2016 and we would’ve never have suffered not one term but two terms with the Shithead-in-Chief.
