An authoritarian pretending to be agrarian

Yeah it makes sense it’s just funny looking. Like the devs skinned each character and made a pelt rug out of them.

The fact that texture files of characters are flattened out never fails to get a laugh out of me. I get the function of it but they look so ridiculous it’s hard not to giggle when you see it

Cool, so all we need to do is keep lead exposure to a minimum and in a generation fascism won’t exist, right? If you’re agreeing with the statement “lead exposure explains Boomer and Gen X MAGA conservatives” then something along those lines must be what you’re trying to say.

And you said I’m oversimplifying things, sheesh.

While it can be comforting to find something external to blame, assholes have always existed. You don’t have to look farther than human nature to explain their behavior. In fact, doing so can in some ways prevent us from fully understanding the problem. We can’t combat it effectively if we don’t understand it.

Bright side is that they’re out of the house by 45. Still though, I’d rather be relatively free of responsibilities at 25 than 45.

The first dying light is one of my favorite games of all time. The 2nd was a big let down. I never even finished it.

In what category?

Not the thin little bitch fibers were talking about for home use anyway. Need some of those thicc subsea fibers for that.

The Middle East, obviously

This guy definitely owns a milking table. It’s probably homemade.

I’ll put it in your space hole buddy

Wherever you live has people that believe every one of those things and more, with the possible exception of imperial measurements. The idiots in America just seem better at getting other people to listen to them.

I wouldn’t necessarily say it fixes problems and if it does it certainly isn’t free of cost in more than one way. I do think it can temporarily lessen some anxieties that one might view as obstacles to happiness because they impede one’s ability to engage in meaningful social interaction. I also think that making friends and finding romantic partners are learned behaviors that you need practice to get good at. If alcohol can help you be social enough to make friends in a new place or find a partner then I can see why someone would say it fixed a problem for them. It’s certainly more expedient and cost effective than therapy to get past your hangups would be.

That said, that sort of “responsible” use of alcohol isn’t without its drawbacks and risks. I don’t know how common it is either. Perhaps that’s just what people who like to drink tell themselves to avoid feeling shame about their behavior.

I also am extremely socially awkward

That’s what the booze is supposed to help with. Whether or not it does is up for debate but it certainly makes you worry less and that’s a huge part of awkwardness.

Just point the vents fancyman

I think you mean brakes, but funnily enough both work in this context.

You guys have another part?
