I get your point about sexual attraction not being necessary, but you’re still kind of making the other user’s point for them. Deep Rock Galactic works because of a cohesive aesthetic with characters that actually fit the world they’re in. Concord was like a cast of soulless GI Joe toybait characters who went through a corporate intersectional diversity blender.
I would love to have a bag kind of like those cloth knife sets: rolls out into a change pad with all the goodies
Ah the truth any dad knows:
“This is military-grade material!” - yawn
“This has survived two kids without a single tear or stain.” - how soon will it be delivered?
Most of those baby carriers fit like shit on men because the shoulder straps are too close together. I hadn’t found one I found reasonably comfortable until these tactical ones started appearing.
I am a dad and a baby toolbag sounds awesome. I love the way a good toolbag makes your stuff accessible to you and would absolutely want a baby version (or perhaps an insert into an existing toolbag?)
What if I’m gay and I can’t read?
Imagine keeping cum as a pet
And now that gets to live rent-free in your head just like mine lol
“Oh I’m white that must mean I’m a white supremacist because some clowns ruined being white”
That’s what you sound like. You’ve got to understand how completely absurd what you said is, right?
Use it anyway. The real wuss move is to shelf something you like or find useful because a dumb ad ran on facebook.
The baby carrier and bag my wife got do not fit on me. The “mens” ones all look like this, so I had no choice.
On a related note, I find most of the bags marketed towards women focus more on aesthetics than usefulness and have poor functional design all over the place. These “tactical” bags tend to focus on functionality, which is a big plus IMO.
The Québec style is a can of Pepsi with a cigarette and some religious words that are also swear words because reasons.
Microplastics are stored in the balls.
When my friends talk about what books they’re reading and it comes back to me I just joke and say “oh I largely read non-fiction”.
I read every manual, decision tree, process document, whatever lands in front of me.
RTFM is life
I just personally wish the COVID lifestyle was more accessible.
Same, it suited me quite well and I feel bad saying I missed it because so many others, including some of my own family and friends, suffered. Now that I’m back in the office 5 days a week, I lose >2 hours a day with my kids. I had my own parents say “i don’t get why you’re complaining, we got by before COVID” while refusing to acknowledge it’s different because one of them stayed home with us, while my wife and I must both work to survive.
I grew up in a religious conservative family. These and other experiences drove me to the left in a big way. I see now that thinking we can solve systemic issues with individualism is bullshit. I want a world where my wife or I could stay home (or some communal solution) to raise our family right rather than having a bunch of latchkey kids and being stuck doing chores from the moment we get home until the moment we lie down. Some people say “well that’s how I was raised” but it isn’t right.
Now that would be a funny headline.
No sadly COVID lockdown isolation did them in. I’ve never seen minds and bodies decay so fast. I have another friend who developed full-blown psychosis from it too, and at this point it looks like he’s never coming back. The lockdowns were harder on some people than we were/are ready to talk about I think.
When my wife’s grandparents had to get a new computer they got upset about the new windows interface and the fact their old games didn’t work, so I set them up with Linux and a DE that resembled XP (it’s what they were familiar with), and I was able to get most of their games going.
They used it without issue until they died.
Your OS isn’t getting regular updates!!!
This is a feature imo.
It aligns with Democratic Socialists well enough, but not the seize-the-means socialists.
That’s a fair observation I think: UBI doesn’t put the same pressure on financialization that worker- owned industry does. Ultimately I think eliminating work is a terrible idea, but reducing work, focusing on actually productive work, and ensuring we all collectively benefit from it is ideal.
A system is what it does. If it costs us jobs, enriches the wealthy at our expense, destroys creativity and independent thought, and suppresses wrongthink? It’s a censorious authoritarian fascist pushing austerity.
Show me AI getting us UBI or creating worker-owned industry and I’ll change my tune.
You agree there is a systemic problem and then…
… You say it’s an individual one?
People are largely driving with the instincts they learned with training and over time. They’re not actively thinking about the decisions they make most of the time. We can call that a personal failing all we want but that won’t change the result.
This is a systemic problem, so it needs a systemic solution.
