It's not surprising to me really given that gamers have thrown fits over past games using types instead of 'female' or 'male' but I guess I just can't get over how fucking stupid it is to care so much that you download a mod that reverts the text in a character creation menu. The slightest change in language in order to be more welcoming to other players is treated as the downfall of society by these people.

(For context, this is on nexusmods)

The 7700 XT looks like a pretty great option right now for $400, it would hold up for 5+ years for sure. For reference, I bought the 6700 XT two years ago to replace my 1060 3GB and it has held up really well playing modern games on high settings at 1440p, and the 7700 XT is substantially better all around than the 6700 XT so new games should run super smoothly.

I've worked mostly in the restaurant/service industry, so i'm most likely going to apply for jobs in that field, but I'd really like to try something else because the amount of socializing I have to do is dreadful for me

for the past two years i've been fortunate enough to have my parents support me, but i haven't been going to school during this time either, i really haven't done anything in that time that i could put down on my resume, so yeah i may just have to lie and say that i've been attending school.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

i don't, unfortunately :(

 

could anyone give me any advice as to how to create a new resume? i'm having a lot of trouble with doing so because i have a very rough history with jobs ( quitting without notice many times when i was much younger ) and also because i've been unemployed for 2 years now. I know that lying is something i'm going to have to do to make myself seem more employable and so i don't get heavily interrogated, but i really just don't know how to fill in the gaps without making it seem suspicious. I'm not very good at lying and i'm autistic so all of this has been very difficult for me. i'd love to know if any of you have been in the same place as me and if so, what you did. any advice would be much appreciated! heart-sickle

I think a large part, as others have said, is to collect physical media, but another large reason could be because people want to support the artists they listen to by actually buying their music. Streaming services are the most popular way to listen to music now and they are so fucking awful when it comes to compensating artists that most of them cannot even come close to relying on them for a stable income, even when you take in to consideration streaming on multiple platforms. So doing things like buying a record or a CD or even just buying an album digitally on a site like bandcamp does a lot more for the artists that you enjoy because they receive a much larger fraction of that money. Also, doing things like buying merch and going to shows are other good ways of supporting the artists you love!

these are the type of videos that the US is so desperately trying to stop us from seeing by banning tiktok, smh /s

this video is actually very adorable though and I kinda wish she was my grandma

yeah you're right, it's reasonable to feel anxious and want to move away from them in case of an accident, the response of him recording himself screaming and spraying mace at them as if he was about to capture his death on film though is just a bit silly

watching this video only made the reaction of the man in the video I posted look even more ridiculous, lol. cows really are just curious creatures, I'm not sure why someone would think that a swarm of cows would approach you because they want to collectively kill you or beat the shit out of you or something

One of the most common talking points that I hear from people who are advocates of leather, especially those who work within fashion, is that leather is simply a byproduct of the meat industry. The claim that it is simply a by-product of the animal agriculture industry is used as their justification to buy leather products because they think that they're just the waste of the meat industry and that they are up-cycling material that would otherwise be thrown away. What these proponents of leather never address though is that these so called "by-products" are just another way in which the meat industry profits and that leather would not exist in the first place if it weren't for the raising and butchering of animals! Like I am genuinely baffled that people believe that the meat industry doesn't proliferate its existence through the selling of things like animal skin and the other remains that aren't flesh. Of course this doesn't even touch on the environmental impact required to produce leather, which includes that of the meat industry that raises the animals (which has a horrific impact already) plus the additional awful production practices like chrome tanning that are extremely common in the leather making process.

Also, a thing that especially irritates me in the TikTok video that I linked is the creator equating faux leather with plastic leather or pleather, when faux leather encompasses more than just pleather and contains leather alternatives that aren't made from plastic! That seems like something you should know as someone whose job requires a large knowledge of textiles/materials but I guess he for whatever reason doesn't know that or at least doesn't mention it
