Okay. Doesn’t make it a walking sim still

It is fine to have a different experience and taste in games. But The Last Of Us is absolutely not a Walking Sim. For one thing, Walking Sims, by definition, have no combat. You just walk around and explore a place and uncover a story along the way. TLOU is filled with stealth combat and 3rd person shooting, survival horror style resource management, as well as exploration and an unfolding story.

I think what you mean is that you dislike Narrative-driven adventure games. Walking Sims are a sub-genre of narrative driven games, but not all narrative driven games are Walking Sims. The Last Of Us is an narrative- driven action-adventure survival-horror game.

Not like there are any problematic denominations there either, right?

Well, consider me brainwashed by evangelicals then. Non-evangelicals really need to step up their PR game.

Catholics do not believe that non-Christians go to heaven. Best case scenario, righteous unbelievers go to purgatory. Same with unbaptised babies.

Also, I grew up going to baptist and pentecostal churches. They 1000% do not think my atheist ass is getting into heaven no matter how righteous I am, even though I got baptized for that matter. Unless I repent at the 11th hour and “accept Jesus into my heart as my savior,” anyway. There are certainly plenty denominations that are not all about preaching “hellfire for the unbeliever”, but even plenty of those still believe that is true even if they’re not boasting about it. There are some that allow for people to be saved through ignorance of Jesus (which makes missionary work kind of fucked up when you think about it that way). But even that is not the norm.

Jesus’ sacrifice saving humanity from eternal damnation is a key tenet of nearly all denominations. And most of them also say that you need to actually accept it and turn your life over to him to qualify for the get out of Hell free card.

you picked the wrong religion

There is no way that most people didn’t pick the correct religion. Even if all Christians were “correct” enough to get to heaven regardless of denomination, that still leaves 71%+ of the world who aren’t Christians. And that is best case scenario as Christians are the largest religious group by population in the world currently. And even within the Christian community, there are plenty of in-groups and out-groups that consider one another to be cultish and blasphemy. No matter what you are betting, your chances aren’t great and the majority of the world is still “wrong” and will face whatever consequences come with that fact.

Personally, I’m happy to just not believe rather than to force myself to conform to some oppressive dogma, dump my time and money into a church, and live with shame just to hedge my bets for what would still be bad odds anyway.

The fact that there exists an m.2 x6 port SATA adapter is the wildest part to me.

Right? A normal mug has one topological hole. This one has 3. Surely that makes it 3 times as topologically interesting as a normal mug.

No, they’re right. Normally the interior of the mug isn’t a topological hole as it only has the one “exit”. But when you connect the surfaces for the center hole, it creates a third hole in the interior of the mug. The handle loop (1), the interior of the donut hole (2), and the exterior of the donut hole and the walls and bottom of the interior (3).

When I met my to-be brother-in-law for the first time 9 years ago (he was 19 then, for context), he was in a public restroom. My to-be mother-in-law called in and said “Hey bub, you in there?”

“Hey, mom. Yea. I’m poopin’!”

“Okay. This is KryptonianCodeMonkey.”

“Hi, kryptonianCodeMonkey! I’m poopin’!”

Then I went to pee at the urinal next to his stall and he announced, “Hey, I have shoes just like those.”

So, anyway… if your goal is to be memorable…

The only presidents from the last 80 years included in this are himself and the 4 Democrat presidents alive during his presidency that he has already publically shit on. Almost like he is afraid to put himself over presidents people in his party and target age demographics actually have fond memories of. No Reagan, neither Bush, no JFK, LBJ, Eisenhower…

Our tuxedo cat was named Figaro at the shelter. He was an asshole. Probably had nothing to do with the name, but I wouldn’t risk it.

Noooope

If he wants to visit Dolly, let him

You can argue a case that the current inflation is not specifically or even mostly due to corporate greed. Inflation has many factors to it, and covid supply chain interruption was a major factor as was the Fed’s necessary reaction to it. But you lose me at ‘there is no such thing as “greedflation.”’ That is obviously bullshit.

Corporations can and did use the temporary inflation from supply chain interruptions causing empty shelves as an excuse to raise prices, arguably justifiably to a degree to keep your business afloat. But when the entire market has uniformly raised prices, when production and supply chains return to normal, they have no incentive and no competitive pressure to return prices to pre-interruption levels. The higher prices have been normalized, the consumer has already adapted to that expectation and no vaible alternative options, and businesses have no reason to provide substantive releif to their consumers when they are making bigger margins and profits than ever.

Corporations, and in fact all capitalistic structures, are powered fundamentally by greed, by desire to maximize profit. If they were not profit-driven they would be non-profits/charities. In fact they are, to some extent, legally required to be greedy, to prioritize maximal return for their shareholders. The idea that profit-driven corporations that must, at all times, continually grow, lest they die completely, that must get the maximum price with the minimal overhead (including labor) does not materially contribute to inflation… that is a fucking fantasy.

I’m here for the spirit, but your reading comprehension could use some work. The title doesn’t say it’s the dumbest thing he has done. It says he is doing this particular thing in the dumbest way.

Would be a shame if someone created a network of cameras tracking his every move and posted it online for free in real time. Nothing illegal about that, right? No implicit threat in that, right?

Seems like they probably skipped the broth. Looks basically just beschemel, though, being generous, it may have a bit of mustard, sour cream, and/or some herbs mixed in.
