  • You are under the assumption the scientists listened to the bean counters. I on the otherhand think it’s more likely that any (mad) scientist who could make dinofrogs via genetic manipulation would intentionally splice the ability to self-transition into their creation.

    “Demand I make my dinofrogs infertile will you!? I’ll show you… I’ll show all of you!!!”


  • I was actually thinking places like Humble, or often times I just go straight to the publisher or Dev, since they keep 100% of their profit that way and often offer a discount.

    I have never used G2A, nor any site that redistributes keys in that manner.

    But in the month it took you to respond, I already read up on this, and honestly you exaggerated your claims to the extent that I’m not really interested in asking your opinion anymore anyway. Your hate boner kinda showed through.

    So I guess… uh… thanks for following up anyway and have a good one!













  • Can you change your DNS again to test? Just pick Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) or google (8.8.8.8) or something. It’s plausable that you actually can connect to the internet and are instead just unable to perform name resolution. Presumably the vpn is using a different dns server, hence it solves your problems when connected.

    Or I guess you could try to ping a known good ip to see if the dns is the problem. I just pinged google and got this if you want to try it. 142.250.72.14

    Depending on the circumstance, I completely agree. There are certainly many cases where censoring yourself is giving away your power and freedom of expression.

    However, it’s not disingenuous to say that if I want to censor myself, for any reason, on the internet I will likely be shamed by folks who want to assert their values over mine. And in such I am once again giving away my power to the people who want to dictate what I do with my life.

    Perhaps I want to do it because I find it funny. Or perhaps I want to do it because I’m trying to emulate a classic comic book speech style, which often had to use censorship because they were being controlled, but now has become a recognizable convention. Or perhaps I want to do it simply to assert my right to speak how I choose, as I already mentioned, despite the “higher authority” of the crowd. For whatever reason, giving up my freedom of expression, as you already mentioned, f*%king sucks actually.

    For example, take this post. OP didn’t care if it was censored or not, they just wanted to share something funny and didn’t want to work to do it. Yet most of the comments are about the rage felt by folks who wanted OP to do more work so they didn’t have to see a black bar.
