lets stand up for people that are thrown into the same pot as the big bad guys simply because they have a condition (or more) in common.

not to mention the other cluster B disorders (antisocial, borderline, histrionic) are getting dragged under the bus too. There’s evil people that are also narcissistic, there’s evil people that aren’t. Blame the person, not the mental illness.

hell yeah lets further demonise people struggling with mental health disorders

it’s smantana (smântână) in Romanian

i believe your brain needs a lil’ workout, since you’re accusing people of things that aren’t even there.

so it’d be funny if i did not elaborate

again, projecting much?

projecting much?

if you’re brave enough this is not a difference

the same people that invented fireworks (thing that is set on fire and goes boom) now actively research/made the safe batteries (things that DON’T set on fire AND don’t go boom)

is this the virtual insanity i keep hearing of

he said that churches are taxed and regulated and whatnot, as prostitution should be too.

Maybe saying “same as belief” wasn’t good, but the rest of the comment makes it clear they’re talking about churches. Not to mention the demonisation of prostitution that comes from those churches, so i find it relevant.

Or maybe there’s other parallels you can draw between belief and prostitution, like being roped into one against your will, or maybe it being “the only option”, or being the only thing some desperate people look to for help, etc.

Well, belief used in the sense of how most “churches” use belief, as a way to indoctrinate, kind of like the modern church.

You can draw many dots and see it can be relevant to the discussion as a comparison, but it’s easier to offload the mental work to others, no?

how do you know someone is an edgelord atheist?

why, the same with defensive religious people. They’ll see a criticism on churches and they will take it as a personal attack

apparently no one i know can sense the chemical/marker(?) taste in artificial cherry flavouring like dr. pepper or cherry coke/pepsi

i seriously don’t know how anyone can get past that taste, so i figure people either enjoy it, or don’t notice it

And you sound like someone who jumps to conclusions too quickly about people and you can’t comprehend someone not having a reductionist take on generalised human suffering.

I don’t think anyone here is denying people suffer from capitalism, i think they’re just saying capitalism is a factor rather than the only cause, similar to how the Archduke’s assassination was a factor among many in starting WW1.

Mostly staying indoors and skipping (read: sleeping thru them) a bunch of online classes in 12th grade due to the pandemic. Due to family circumstances I started living alone at 18.

Second half of 12th grade was spent preparing for the Baccalaureate

how dare you!? i put pineapple on pizza and DON’T play inverted. don’t compare me to them

Usually, you use the D-pad with your left hand. But in dark souls, movement is done with the left analog stick. Otherwise, if d-pad is used for movement (and not item switching), you use your left hand

on the xbox controller the D-pad is to the left of the Right stick, meaning you can easily move your thumb over it to use it in certain games (like in Dark Souls, you use it to change equipped consumables/weapons). Whereas with the symmetric design, you’d have to move your right thumb a bigger distance, and also get in the way of your left thumb (which is on the left stick for movement). Ofcourde, you can always let go of movement to switch items, but that’s not always an easy option (Bossfights, enemy encounters, ehere you have to be moving constantly)

That’s just one game i can think of where the asymmetric dedign is better

Bigger button as in, compared to the XYAB/Symbols buttons. The bumper just feels like a big button you press down. And the trigger does look like a gun trigger, due to the shape. Well, at least on an Xbox controller

the trigger is like the trigger of a gun. the bumper is a bump/bigger button
