Ty kindly

Would you please edit and toggle the NSFW tag on (b/c of the gore)?

You just want my watch. You can’t fool me!

What an honor!

It makes me wonder if the alcohol is to distract you. Lol

if you excuse the trek reference.

I’ll always excuse a trek reference.

Since we aren’t capable of gaining absolute knowledge, we’re cursed with having to each set our personal threshold for skepticism/credulity. Setting it too low like your quiet uncle seems like it would be a confusing nightmare.

I tend to be skeptical, but I still went down a rabbit hole the other day re: aliens after indirectly reading about “sightings” in Europe in the 1600s. This one was fascinating:

Some would probably call stuff like that “woke”, but maybe “performative” or “pandering” would be slightly less politically charged.

This type of stuff is immediately what I thought of too. They will happily sell both sides’ identity and values right back to them.

Lol, I’m very curious to know why someone would buy a shirt that says “Corporate Greed”

It’s making a joke about how we relate everything to our previous experience, no matter how limited. Basically this meme:

Or, another example might be how every game gets described as “like dark souls”

Ohhh, now I get the top comment.

Np, just learned it myself right before posting this.

The Japanese pronunciation is why they wanted to call him Puck-Man! It’s apparently from a Japanese onomatopoeia for a mouth opening and closing, “Paku Paku”

Well damn, I guess they’re taking some liberties with the classification of “dinosaurs” and are still off by a bit. I’m just going to remove the post.

I mined an unknown amount back then and then left it in whatever mining wallet I had at the time because it was worthless… I also try not to think about it too much.

You’re the 2nd person to mention this game, and I haven’t heard of it. Time to look it up.
