You guys are helping my hardware inferiority complex (caused by the vocal ones always having systems that cost more than a decent used car) a lot! Thanks! 😁

the average loud PC gamer fucking sucks

Fixed it for you.

Those assholes don’t represent the average PC gamer any more accurately than the Gamergate troglodytes represent all gamers.

Unionization doesn’t always prevent layoffs

Fixed that for you.

I’m sure you didn’t mean to imply that unionization NEVER prevents or at least helps to prevent spurious mass layoffs, since that would make you a total imbecile about how labor relations in general and collective bargaining in particular works or at best an otherwise rational victim of gaslighting disinformation campaigns carried out on behalf of the people doing the layoffs.

I like flowers but don’t have a blog

Impossible!

Now I’ve got a hankering for pamplemousse 😄

Am going to seed now.

Sorry, got distracted 😉

That doesn’t make you more interesting but it doesn’t make you any less interesting either! Huzzah!

PS: which would you say is the best Fallout game and why is it New Vegas?

driving while intoxicated/under the influence (different states use DWI or DUI).

I thought it was a matter of severity, with DUI being over the limit but not obviously impaired and DWI driving while there’s no doubt that you’re drunk, leading to more severe punishment?

that makes it even worse

My point exactly

bottom line is they don’t want to do anything without some kind of expectation of ROI

Which is why they need to be compelled by law.

Some countries have Good Samaritan laws that protects people who honestly want to do their best to help someone from being penalized for it.

Other countries have “duty to act” laws penalizing those who choose not to help in a clear emergency.

Other countries still have BOTH. That’s what’s needed when people are starving, corporate profits are booming and more food is wasted than eaten.

“I can fix him uwu”

companies that have tried to donate ended up getting sued by the people they donated to

That’s a false narrative that companies are using as an excuse.

As long as they’re acting in good faith and with full transparency, Good Samaritan laws make them immune to lawsuits and not liable for any ill effects.

If you’re one of the few people with ADHD who can do that kind of intense hyperfocus torturing yourself into getting things done without being physically, mentally, and emotionally drained for far too long afterwards and also too traumatized by the ordeal to want to try it again, then good for you! Keep doing what works for you!

If, on the other hand, you’re not able to employ that method sustainably, How to ADHD has some great advice as usual 😁

Flula or the hive mind? I vote we combine the two making a Flula Borg based hive mind

Executive dysfunction might be more recognized in some cultures than others, but it’s for sure not a PURELY “cultural phenomenon”.

Nah, that’s the drawback of bands invented for a joke: no music to listen to 🤷

Cuts down on practice time, though…

I was in a band called Vulgar Magic. We were dreadful but charming.
