Like becoming a hobo in order to avoid paying rent
Just call me Diogenes
people really are out here believing real life has the intelligence stat from an RPG
help, that weird band of raccoons is making music in the landfill again
i wish i had enough money to accidentally go to the wrong country to learn a language. send me to japan to learn chinese. then I'll cross the East China Sea to learn Japanese (I will reply to anyone who tries to speak Japanese at me in Japan with "wakarimasen" because I know that one already). once I'm done learning Japanese I'll go to India and learn Arabic.
this could be my life 
you know who this asian man reminds me of? yellow cartoon character. how is that racist btw? 
I have used both chatGPT and a couple of image generators. They're complete trash, useful for nothing, and only made me appreciate human workers even more. I have since commissioned multiple pieces of artwork from human artists.
Well they killed League for me because Vanguard doesn't like my PC, so I've been trying to learn DotA. I'm actually having a lot of fun with it, I think it's basically League if they didn't spend 15 years making the worst game design decisions you can possibly fathom. So far, anyway, I'm sure there's plenty of stuff that I'll dislike when I'm actually "good" at the game, but for now it's very refreshing how well designed it feels.
I've been playing Vintage Story with a friend, I recommended it here and did a giveaway a while back. It's basically extremely modded minecraft but on an engine that doesn't suck ass.
Rabbit and Steel has been a lot of fun when I can get my friends together for it.
somebody get bugs bunny on the case, that saw's got more work to do
fuck jail time, they should be brought out into the middle of the sea and kicked overboard. if they're strong enough swimmers they might die of dehydration
At least I'm trying to have a conversation instead of just jumping into a thread and insulting people for no reason.
In other words, fuck off, asshole.
Yeah, it's a very common joke which I argue does not work because despite the fact that there is leeway in how words are defined (that's kind of what my entire comment is about) there is no valid definition of edible which includes mushrooms that definitely kill you if you eat them.
Their rationale is literally just that girls should have long hair and boys shouldn't. That boys having long hair looks "unprofessional."
Source: I went to a Christian high school. I got in trouble over this all the time. My hair is past my waist now. 
i still cannot fathom how the common use of that phrase (in this context anyway) has become "not ALL apples are bad!"
one
bad
apple
spoils
the
bunch
why do they use a saying which means the literal opposite of what they believe and are trying to argue
You'd have to use a very strange definition of edible. For something to be edible it does not only need to be able to fit down your throat, it has to be capable of nourishing you without harming you. You can swallow paper and it won't harm you, but it also can't nourish you and is thus inedible. You can eat this mushroom and it'll probably provide some kind of nourishment, but then it will swiftly kill you and thus it is inedible.
I would accept a definition of edible which includes things you can't digest. For example, gold can also be a food additive referred to by the code E175. Can't digest it, but it doesn't hurt you. So I could accept someone referring to gold as edible. But I think the barest, most universal element of something being edible is that it doesn't kill you. If literal deadly poison is considered edible one must wonder what the word "edible" is even supposed to mean.
random internet posts are explicitly not allowed there anymore, you have to be posting some shit elon musk said or whatever
i didnt even consider that this AI shit was going to claim to be able to ID mushrooms
ok ive been a little skeptical of the idea so far but now im fully convinced. this dumb ai shit is going to get people killed. like straight up more than one person is going to die because of these upjumped autocorrects masquerading as intelligence. and no one is going to be held responsible.
spits out racist conspiracy theories, what a surpriseWhere things like "freedom" are a sincere part of governmental decision-making, and not just an excuse for a few rich old fucks to hoard more wealth. Where there exists a temporarily flawed but fundamentally good organization in every single city in the country devoted only to keeping the community safe and in harmony. Where the people in charge are truly doing their best to make the lives of the common person better.
If the world worked the way liberals think it does I'd have become a cop straight out of high school, I swear. I still harbor thoughts of trying to become a firefighter, but I'm not sure I've got the discipline for it.
I don't really have a point, I've just been chilling and drinking tea and thinking about this. I think this line of thought stemmed from having been mistaken for a cop once or twice and trying to think of exactly the best way to word exactly why I would never in a million years consider it regardless of what you paid me, and thinking about how that concept is kind of hard to understand from a liberal's point of view. To them, saying "cops are fundamentally bad" is like saying "firefighters are fundamentally bad" or "farmers are fundamentally bad." In liberal propaganda, cops are just as necessary (and as enduring) as either of those jobs.
Well--
"There ain't no covid no more--there never was no covid!"
It protects me from a wide variety of things.
"What, you believe in aliens too?"
Sure, why not?

An actual conversation I had with a trucker the other day.
!bunny-vibe bnuuy !bunny-vibe
!reisen-dance It's like if Touhou had a baby with FF14 raid mechanics. Everything is adorable. It'll make you hate your friends for coming near you when they were supposed to stay away, and it'll make you hate them 5 seconds later for running away from you when they were supposed to stack. I highly recommend it. It might even be a fun game to try to get some people from here to play together, since it's pretty low time investment, intuitive, and doesn't necessarily require voice chat. (It's better with voice chat, funnier without it)
Vintage Story is what happens when one of those people who make the ridiculous complicated Minecraft modpacks gets tired of working with jank ass Minecraft and decides to go make their own engine and do whatever they want with it. It's a beautifully complex, (optionally) brutally unforgiving, wonderful little game that I love immensely. You start out by banging rocks together to make stone tools and foraging for berries and wild carrots and trying not to get murdered by weirdly aggressive wolves and completely normally aggressive pigs. But it quickly opens up into a whole world of making pottery, learning the right ratios of copper and tin to make bronze, accidentally collapsing mines on yourself or accidentally setting entire hillsides on fire because you forgot the hill was made of peat, farming (don't forget to rotate your crops!) and facing evil hordes of eldritch monstrosities.
Also, I just love the mindset of the devs. Check out the "held to high standards" header on that main page I linked.
Anyway, getting to the point: I've already bought the game for myself and a friend, paid for the optional account upgrade that just gives me a different color name and a forum badge, and paid for the "pay what you want" soundtrack. So, the only thing left I can do to give money to this great game is to give it away to some of you guys, if anybody's interested in trying it out!
So, I have three giftable game account key things. First three people to say they want one will get one. So if you're a fan of this sort of silly Minecraft modpack, try it out!
I just got an email from Hirbawi which reads as follows:
>Dear [Name] >We are delighted to announce that all pre-orders prior to the 16th October will now be shipped, and those who ordered will be emailed today with their tracking details. >It was an adventure to say the least. >After many pickups and dropoffs, our drivers were eventually able to pass through the valleys around Hebron by using dirt roads. >Despite being blocked at four different Israeli checkpoints, we kept trying, and eventually succeeded in passing through the fifth checkpoint.
With another section down below:
>Next Shipment? >We are now working on getting our next shipment across the West Bank border and past the Israeli blockade. >The factory is working flat out to resupply Black & White Kufiyas as these have been the most popular choice for wearing in support and solidarity for Palestine. >We are forever grateful that so many of you were willing to pre-order a Hirbawi Kufiya, despite the uncertainty due to the ongoing blockade.
In other words: They're making it work somehow. Get yourself a fancy handmade scarf for way cheaper than you'd expect, and directly support Palestinians.
If you're a white devil like me and concerned about the optics of wearing traditional middle-eastern clothing, maybe take a look at this article for the opinion of the Palestinians in question themselves. In short: It's a good opportunity to start conversations about Palestine and normalize visible support for their struggle. Go nuts.
Any of the ones that don't say preorder are available for the next shipment they can get out there.
I was pretty excited to see where that comm went and learn some stuff about cultures and philosophies I'm not familiar with. Just curious about two things I guess: Why was it created in the first place, and what changed to cause it to be deleted?
Might be an oddly specific post, but I've seen this recommended, and I'm just not sure I understand how it would be used effectively. Surely an air/water kineticist should be acting as a ranged spellcaster most of the time, in other words, not being within 10 feet of an enemy and especially not of multiple enemies. Furthermore, this impulse doesn't discriminate, so even if you were within 10 feet of all your enemies, you'd probably be within 10 feet of your allies too, subjecting them to a bunch of slippery bullshit as well.
Am I missing something about what makes this useful / not a detriment?
