this is an insult to even the absolute worst gay porn.

can they be unique buttons though? I thought they had to be copies of existing buttons, or macros or something.

hideous crossover trash. I'll keep my Taycan, thanks.

But still, I'd rather more of them be electric than gasoline.

The steam controller takes AA batteries. Doesn't get much more "standard size" than AA.

what the fuck is a "baka"

Fighting back just lead to more violent retribution against those who were already being mistreated

This is what I meant when I said there's no "worse", just "different". In a concentration or extermination camp I think it's insane to blame any of the victims for what their captors do.

I'm genuinely sorry to hear that and I'm glad you made it out of there. But I stand by my point.

Then either get one or don't switch?

I don't think you understand what it's like to be constantly bullied and constantly on guard. At some point there is no concept of "worse". At some point there is only the sense of "literally anything in the world except this."

Willingness to stand up for oneself is not necessarily the same as one overestimating their ability to fight.

I was bullied regularly as a kid. I was no match at all for most of the bullies, they easily had strength, size, numbers, and fighting experience over me, but since the schools wouldn't or couldn't do a damn thing to protect me, especially when the bullies followed me well away from school grounds, the only choices I had were to either endure it, or to try to change the situation by standing up for myself. Even if I got my ass beat even worse just for standing up for myself, at the very least it made it clear to them that I was no longer guaranteed to be a frictionless target and that sometimes changes things for the better.

It's not about winning. It's about putting up the fight, because the potential outcomes of not fighting back aren't always much better than standing up for oneself.

That said, I personally wouldn't want to put a foreign trip in jeopardy by assaulting anyone if it wasn't an actual self defense situation, much like back at home. I'm just responding to this idea that willingness to fight is not the same thing as being overly confident that one will come out on top.

And, in some less frequent cases, the pickpocket may have had actual needs like buying medicine…

Likewise, a pickpocketing victim may also need to buy medicine.

Wrong. There is no AI agent on my Pixel 8 Pro running GrapheneOS.
