Hey you know what, when you're in love, whatever works. So many people are lonely, at least they found each other. 🥹

This is how playing Pokemon Scarlett feels

RimWorld and modded Pokemon Scarlett.

On one hand i am adoring Scarlett more than i expected... On the other, what I enjoy is almost exclusively from the mod, so I don't know where to even talk about the fun i am having understanding I probably still wouldn't want to purchase the full game, even with all the fun I am having, because the jank is only tolerable for me on an emulator with mods.

RimWorld im really into a insectoids 2 mod run. About to try my hand at vanilla expanded genetics with Alpha Animals and Rimbees.

Im vibrating for stardew valley mobile update. It's been my favorite way to play and I wanna mod that, too. 😩

Flashbacks to when only the teacher and I understood A Modest Proposal and not being able to explain to anyone else in that class that i was appreciating that he was sassing the english NOT the actual idea of eating babies. 🙃

I haven't thought of those apps for years, I used Pidgin! I had to look up the program name.

Is that question really "in good-faith" to "that law doesn't apply in my country"?

I've been pretty lazy about changing stores since they had the easiest pick up i had found in my area, but i guess this is the ass kick i need to make sure i never go back.

Sucks they own almost all the groceries in my area. But i can trust that it's not a monopoly, right?

Groceries prices deeeeefinately aren't inflated. Nope. All good here.

My question would be how much of this is actors no longer being completely subjected to the gross wims of the director. How many scenes had little to do with a story and felt more like the director using the opportunity to make pretty people obey them.

We have intimacy directors now and what may also be happening is individuals having more say in production and in their bodily autonomy and I don't see that as an issue particularly.

Did random sex scenes really hit the level of art for you folks? Is pornography art the same way? 🤔 You know both are made for mass sale and consumption usually, the same way, much more than trying to make content to say anything.

But um "it so bad we block the titties!" or whatever is popular to say. Even though i personally don't remember many that added anything story related. Show me them bonding in a real way, sex doesn't cement anything if you've ever had a cheating partner, but a real collection of moments spent together between them that shows understanding and sacrifice for each other can really have an impact.

I think the issue people arguing with you that you don't seem to get is that not everyone does want it to stop.

You seem blind to that reality that there is a large portion who arent even looking or talking that people are dying.

Who think what is going on and continuing is fine, or even good or right. And those people are in the positions to even try to limit any of it, and wont.

You're not arguing honestly if you really claim the reason no one in power speaks against it is because it's too hard? That seems really unlikely doesn't it? "It's difficult and we're looking at legal options" and "we will continue to arm and defend them" are wholly different.

The bimbofication of the chat bots has been weird to watch. I played with Replika back when it was an egg billed as "a chat bot you teach to chat how you want" more than a romantic parter.

Were they ever good conversationalists? No, but if you're someone who likes to externally talk things through they could be a fine echo of a generally positive generic person.

Now they feel so gross and desperate/pleading it feels weird to interact with them.

Have a cat, was planned. Feel obligated cause i rescued her ass 8 years ago, and she's really easy and low maintenance.

The big dog i have was rescued after an elderly family member passed away and there was no one else to take her in.

I love her to pieces but i definitely wont be getting another 60 pound+ dog in a 3 floor walk up! 😩
