It is an example of something you do not need to experience first hand to have a valid opinion on. Outsider perspectives are valuable too.

You saying anyone that has an opinion on murder has to also have murdered?

Nah I’m mostly coming from a funding point of view. If the budget management is fucked, then it’s fucked. Though I wonder if conservatives fleeing California after secession would alleviate that. Either way, it’s a fair point. Thanks for providing more insight!

I think there’s a clear distinction between your characterization and the reality which is that California contributes massively to the US government in EXCHANGE for federally funded services like FEMA. The money California generates for the US could just be relegated to their own FEMA.

Yeah I prefer latex myself. I will not be answering questions.

When you’re watching a video and suddenly para-diddle-diddle para-diddle-diddle

They actually didn’t ask, just stated modern audio mixing was shit.

Googly eyes always make me laugh. There’s a realtor in my area that has been advertising for decades on billboards, and sometime early 2025, some hero took extremely large googly eyes and stuck them over his picture. I have no clue what glue they used but they’re still up there.

This is how I found out from my mom that my family apparently has generational beef with theirs. My grandpa apparently loved terrorizing the guy’s dad because they were assholes and my mom ended up competing with him in real estate for a little while.

Thank you googly eyes.

It’s generally agreed across the entire world that if you enter a contract with someone and that person breaks the terms of said contract, you are no longer beholden to those terms.

Thanks for clarifying! I agree!

I mean it’s the same reason the Nazis weren’t socialist despite being the national socialist party. It’s in name only. I don’t see a single way in which China is making steps towards becoming a stateless, classless, moneyless society.

Do you mean like a physically opaque package or one where the exact contents are obscured by randomization? There are some card games that have no randomization whatsoever in their packaging, like Fantasy Flights LCGs.

My wife and I call them unskippable cutscenes and we share ours with each other all the time. Sure we don’t always understand the details, but we do understand the passion we both have for the cutscenes we start and it’s adorable to watch as the sole audience member.

I watched the movies, thought they were awesome, then tried to watch the show and HATED it. If the concept interests you, then the newest movies are the way to go.

Michael Waterfox is pretty chill yeah

Ehh the s type screw is pretty nostalgic for me. It takes me back to the days in school drawing that cool S all over my notebook and then eating the page.

After playing CoQ with controller support I find similar games unplayably uncomfortable. It’s done so well that it’s shocking to look back at how the UI used to be and remember the game wasn’t designed from the ground up with controller in mind.

Just like with any kind of story, there are many readers who enjoy immersing themselves into a character’s experiences, and for that kind of reader fine details can be very important. Especially when the pleasure derived from said experience hinges almost entirely upon its inclusion. If you are glossing over the entire intimate act you can probably skip it. But in erotica, the intimate details are part of the point in most cases.

Literally says “Pedophilia is fucking evil.” Word for word.
