There IS a difference between reality and fantasy. We see it all the time.

There is an actual fetish for consesual non consent aka rape fantasy/roleplay. If we allow that people routinely engage in fake rape, then why are you surprised if anything else is sexualized. People are weird.

But is it not just as disturbing to you when people glorify violence and gore such as the Saw franchise?

I do not understand the attraction to these things either, but I dont think its healthy to pretend that reality and fantasy cant be separated.

I watched more than a couple movies i knew would be bad because Peter Cullen was doing some voice work in them

Im conflicted. I want to watch the usual suspects again for the first time but with Kevin Spacey being too much of that movie I dont know if i would even if i could. And that makes me sad because it had one of the best moments in cinema…and that has been completely tainted by a shit person

I watched serenity before i watched firefly. Wish i could watch both again in the other order.

BUT i think i had an interesting relationship with the river character that many other fans dont have because i got to view every river moment knowing where her story ends up.

On a different tangent, i wish we could get a Book of Booke or The Good Booke show/novel/film

Im gonna guess.

Sport is a spectacle. At the highest levels of any given sport(usually)

Women, if they cannot compete with men, will simply not exist in the highest levels of that sport.

If women cannot be part of the highest levels of that sport, the sport cant make enough money to create leagues that can convince enough women to put significant amount of systems in place to train and produce the best women capable of playing that sport.

Until we stop caring about only letting/finding/supporting/producing the best of the best, its an incredibly bad idea to ignore the many sport specific disadvantage biology plays in competition

Now i want to play cards against humanity lol

Im glad they are a better person than they used to be, but that particular sentence made me laugh out loud

Then I stated reading the Bible, and once I did that, I obviously couldn’t continue believing it.

Yeah nothing obvious about that. Your religion is idiotic, all religions are lies made up by con artists or crazy people. You cant be trusted if you need some book assembled over a 600 year period, edited and abused by religious leaders to control and manipulate the masses into maintaining and increasing their own powerbase, to tell you right from wrong.

Religion is just the old world version of todays billionaires

Children get bone cancer for purely physical reasons, yes, but there is no plan behind it, nothing that makes the situation better in any way and this is how the phrase is usually being used

My exact point. Im glad you agree with me

I hate how people use this but not the phrase itself.

Everything DOES happen for a reason. It’s literal, precise, and accurate. Reasons dont need to be mysterious, aloof, or unknowable. They often are because we choose to stop learning but everything does happen for a reason so start looking for better questions

Ahhhh okay thanks friend!

Edit: interesting wiki on it!

Sojourn continued until 1996, when a difference in creative vision among the staff led to the project being forked into TorilMUD and Duris: Land of Bloodlust. Of the two, TorilMUD is regarded as the more direct inheritor of Sojourn’s legacy. Toril continued until 1998, when it became Sojourn 2, and underwent another rebirth in 2001 as Sojourn 3. Kris retired in 2003, and Sojourn 3 was reborn as TorilMUD, or as the old-time players refer to it, Toril 2. Throughout these rebirths, the areas and code continued to grow: there are currently 300 zones (with several more nearing completion), 16277 types of monsters/mobs, and 13753 different items.

Many TorilMUD staff members were staff on Sojourn 3, Sojourn 2, and some are even from Toril 1, providing a degree of continuity. All Toril staff started as players on the MUD, giving them a great deal of personal experience with the game.

Both of those i have logged into, but didnt play them much. The mud i played was apparently very unique and was hard to find something similar.

I think sojourn is still running…if i get the itch to mud ill have to give it a serious try!

Updoot for MUD

Conservatism is a vile plague of inhumanity, oppression and death and should be treated as such. It is due for a cure.

And yet they seem to be the majority, or close to it. So one has to ask, why is that so many people turn to it. It has to give them value. And is that value real or perceived.

For some it is very real, usually the exceptionally wealthy. Which means conservatism is profitable.

Not having empathy for anyone outside of your in group would make it easy to dismiss or justify the fact that the first rule of capitalism is find a weakness and exploit it

You arent wrong.

And for what its worth, i also like boobies

A hotmail account from before microsoft bought it

About 3 months ago on my way home picking up burgers for my bro and i. On a major route and this sketch pedo van (early 90s white ford econoline rusted out and ratty as hell) busts out of a side street, almost hitting one person, slams on their brakes, slides over 2 lanes into oncoming traffic passes me and 2 other people before cutting someone off as an oncoming car almost hit them head on, the. Makes a left hand turn on a red light at the next intersection.

This could have been in a movie except somehow no accidents happened in my view. Fucking crazy.

Besides that a few years ago at 3 lane traffic circle on one side of an overpass to our largest highway(settle down, its only 3 lanes each way!)hear someone absolutely gunning it over the overpass. Comes into view, brand new metallic blue BMW M3 goes the wrong way into the traffic circle (everyone stopped because we all heard it coming) loses control, spins like 480° almost hits the retaining wall in the middle of the circle then proceeds to gun it back over the overpass they came from.

I blame drugs

Intel pushing into the gpu space is so obviously them trying to get the public to R&D AI hardware since Nvidia is so far ahead of everyone in that game.

It would be great if they accidentally did some good, but it’s not something they are going to keep getting better at.

A Linux optimized GPU would be an interesting product, even if its still just R&D for an entirely different goal

Hey my guy, if you just need to increase your calorie count just add healthy fats to your diet. Fat is incredibly calorie dense so a little goes a long way.

Nuts are a good way to add calories to your day.

Can i ask you to describe a couple of typical meals you would make for yourself?

Ill tell you how i would modify it with what i have in my cupboards
