I love how the Letter from Prester John was basically the original viral hoax. Part-way between a scam letter and spam, and it got turned into basically a chain letter for 500 years.

Incredible trolling.

Terrible takes abound. SBMM does make people's experiences better by not having people getting steamrollered by douchebags that just want to own noobs. The reason you're having a bad time is BECAUSE THESE GAMES ARE BAD. They can never be fixed, there is no way to make them good because they have made the wrong decisions at every turn.

Matches should be short and sweet, if they last longer than 20 minutes you need to throw the entire game out and start from scratch. Teams should be scrambled regularly based on score/skill. You need to have many chances to get a kill, time to kill should be short, and respawn times should be very short. Maps should be relatively small and not too convoluted, with plenty of sight lines and hiding places. Simple controls and no abilities all upgrades should be available to everyone and per-match with no progression trees.

What I'm saying is that UT2004 is all we ever needed.

the only good natopedia editor

Bringing it back as a crossover SUV, and they're dropping Android Auto/CarPlay so they can datamine you harder and have more data to sell.

Don't think that one was me, but I've fixed the error. Thanks for the heads up!

You folks aren't capable of handling different points of view, conflicting opinions, or anything that doesn't resonate perfectly with the echo chamber.

Immediately tells someone to kill themselves for their differing point of view.

"Go handle a forb, ya dweeb!"

I mean, yeah, not everyone can literally walk away, but I think ultimately the sentiment can basically be boiled down to "take a break and do something else for a while." I don't know that there's anyone for whom it's genuinely impossible to stop arguing online, and that they're genuinely unable to spend even a few minutes doing something other than posting.

I don't think "touch grass" is that literal, is it? I'd been using it to mean like, log off and go interact with real people or read a book or go for a walk or something. Not like, a literal request to go outside and put your body in physical contact with a graminoid plant, but excluding sedges and rushes.

No, if you told them the sky was blue, they'd think it's green now. If the DNC told them it was rain, then they'd believe it.

I've experienced zero discrimination for being Jewish in the past few years, in fact it's seemed like a lot of the sort of latent antisemitism in average people has reduced.

I can't speak to dating, as I'm happily partnered and monogamous.

Yeah, it's crazy how bad testing standards are with things, and you just have to stick with the most up to date one and it'll be the least insufficient at best.

Yes! If you're on anything motorized, doing downhill cycling, or MTB, get an ECE 22.06 helmet. Do not settle for DOT!

If you're just a casual cyclist or short distance commuter in a bike-friendly, low traffic area with lots of separated bike trails and sidewalks everywhere like I am now, a full face helmet is probably overkill.

GET A ROTATIONAL IMPACT HELMET

There are inexpensive MIPS helmets that cost around the same as other helmets and are no bulkier, but they will absolutely save you from being severely injured where others would fail to do so.

insane that private ambulance companies are a thing. They should all be state-run like all other emergency services.

Incredible that anyone would do this. There are over the counter options that are safer and more effective.

Talk to your doctor. I've largely managed the symptoms of my IBD under the direction of my gastroenterologist by megadosing on fiber and avoiding FODMAP-containing foods.

It's fine if you're under 4 or above 74. Any other time, you should talk to your doctor. Unless you're an american, because freedom is when no healthcare.

Anything plastic that touches your food, you should certainly replace with glass. If it's like, your TV remote or something, it's no big deal.
