  • Rimworld does pretty well on not just “money trader has” but specifically that traders don’t deal in, well things they don’t deal in.

    Elder scrolls to my knowledge, the blacksmith will sell you a sword… and literally buy cheese wheels down to his last penny.

    what’s he going to do then… flip the sign from black smith to cheese shop, until he builds up enough cash to restock on metals, why isn’t everyone a general store at that point due to customers selling and buying random stuff.





  • What’s dumber is the video origionally was called 1 christian vs 20 atheists, and you see in the video at least one atheist brought up the video title that they all knew before they started. (In other words, Jordan Peterson specifically volunteered to play the christian in a video that when he agreed to it was called, 1 christian vs 20 atheists) Then later demanded they rename the video.

    But further its simple, JP preffers to attack people’s specific stances, from a nebulous position where he never has to give his own stance because he can’t defend his own stance.


  • Honestly it sounds like the opposite. I’ve been there before… having feelings for someone but not being able to act on them. Feeling complete jealousy when she begins dating someone else, it can fucking hurt big time. People can say it’s selfish or whatever, but honestly the feeling can tear the hell out of someone, and it’s better for both parties to cut ties.

    However it is really tricky to handle it. Because you can’t let it sound like an ultimatum (IE sleep with me or I’m out).

    IMO the only real way to go about it is, shoot your shot. Ask her officially on a date, if she would like to consider taking things to a relationship level. If she seems not to want it, I’d try and fade out the friendship slowly. IE actually make yourself busier. Commit to more events with other friends, pick up a time consuming hobby etc…

    Most friendships drift apart anyway. If you want to spend less time with her, start spending more time on something else and let the friendship burn out the natural way they tend to do.

    I believe the OK one was just 4chan going

    “lol, the left is so gullible if we say the OK sign is a sign of white nationalists, they’ll publish it”. Of course the reality is, when they sent it out, the actual white nationalists saw it and started using it.

    which is kind of the thing that they do. Just like pepe… to my knowledge the original author doesn’t seem to be a bad guy. Meme itself was used in non horrible ways for years. But today you see someone join something with a pepe avitar or similar… you know there’s a 90% chance that whatever community you are in is about to get a test of how they react to the racial slurs that are about to come up.

    Or you know you can go to the most famous and talked about ones. IE that symbol of good fortune that existed in countless peaceful cultures for thousands of years.


  • Exactly why on so many things it’s like… even when it looks like they are getting it, they don’t get it. Kind of like watching bluesky rising right now. Unless I’m majorly missing something here. It looks like it’s kind of open and kind of federated…

    Except in a form that no one can feasibly create their own node. One change in leadership or goals of leadership away, and it can turn into the same neo nazi trash that people are joining it to get away from.



  • I honestly do wonder where the average person thinks the customer service workers have some kind of stake in the company or something. Getting fired from a job like that is only a minor inconvenience, and the odds of their complaint being anywhere near a firable offense is usually laughable (and half the time the opposite as usually it’s wanting the employee to break store policy).



  • Disqualifying no… though I would say it’s a disadvantage, just as being a woman is. IMO it’s a bigger disadvantage than being a woman, in the fact that more religious groups are outright opposed to gay people being allowed to be out.

    So in short, it could win the democratic primary in theory. It would take an especially weaker than normal republican candidate.



  • More importantly even then… IE there’s absolutely been cases of streamers attracting crazy stalkers etc…

    But proportionally they are extremely few. Would be insanely unlikely for the kind of person that’s obsessed with them, also being a door dash driver, happening to have come across the streamers address. (from my recolection of my very brief time helping my GF door dash, when deciding which jobs to take, you only get the restraunt and the distance, only learn where the delivery is going after.

    So hypothetically even if I knew Logan Pauls address. I’d have to camp out near restaurants near him… time my working when he might be ordering, guess which restaurant he’s ordering from… Honestly it seems like a plan that would take years to hit all the boxes to go with… probably more efficiant to camp out on streets I think he’d walk down or break in to his house the old fashioned way if I already had that level of information.
