Sounds like the people you hang out with on discord are poor company.

Discord does an excellent job of facilitating connections between people. If you dislike it because of the people you connect with, that's not a Discord issue, that's a people issue.

I'm not even on estrogen and my hands get super cold if the environment is cold. I'm pretty sure I have a sensory difference that makes my body go "Nah, I'm good" when it should be heating them up.

The Discord experience very much depends on the people on the server that you're on. Any medium is just enabling connections, though. The connections themselves are what matter.

From my experience, you need to find a relatively small/niche group for deep connections to form. I've found several communities like that. Although, I think my experience is heavily influenced by me being neurodivergent, and finding groups of other neurodivergent people that I get along with. Like, finding groups of nerds who share the same special interests.

How is your early access category so small?

I voted for democrats, because I know better, but it's a fact that there are a lot of people who don't pay as much attention to politics as I do. Ultimately, most of the people who voted for Trump are not perpetrators, they are victims. Of course I wish they were less ignorant, but I also don't personally blame them, because I'm not into victim-blaming. The blame should be assigned to the perpetrators, the rich and powerful. Democrat leadership very much included.

I don't think this is true. A lot of the people who voted for Trump in the election are simply disillusioned with the status quo, and rightly so. They don't know enough to know which changes would help, but when only one side promised change, they went with that side.

Trump's victory was assured not by an overwhelming amount of fascist voters, but by an overwhelming amount of unhappy voters combined with Democrats' utter failure to challenge the system that made them unhappy.

Yeah, I think what it is is that I can remember things that I took note of at the time (like, in my factual memory), but nothing beyond that. And that combined with my narrow perception means that I have very poor memory of past events.

Fair. It's definitely got a lot of other bad things going on as well.

I said "I don't think it's good for Russia to be able to keep doing what they're doing"

I don't know how you could interpret that as simping for the Russian invasion.

I'm just not going along with the "This helps Russia therefore it is totally bad" knee-jerk. A tool that helps bad people could also help good people. And it probably does, because US sanctions are definitely on the wrong side a lot of the time (although I think they are on the right side regarding Russia's invasion).

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (15 children)

I'm sort of torn on whether it's a good thing that this is possible.

Like, I don't think it's good for Russia to be able to keep doing what they're doing, but US sanctions are also often used for evil (IMO) so in those cases the existence of methods to evade them could be good.

It'd be nice if the sanctions were only used in good ways in the first place, but that's not currently the reality.

There were a lot of episodes like that in Doctor Who. Basically every season from when I was watching, if I recall correctly. The weeping angels first appeared in one of those, and then because that episode was so popular they shoved them into a bunch of big budget ones after that.

I didn't watch The Game Awards myself, I mostly just know what I've heard about it being more of an industry advertising event rather than a real awards ceremony. And from what I've seen of this year's they aired an obvious AI art trailer and they snubbed ZZZ for the music category, so they're just reinforcing my lack of respect for them.
