I mean it's true for TF2 also, overwatch killed itself lol

They did the bare minimum of banning bots so TF2 has been going pretty great recently. I think I've encountered 1 or 2 bots in the last 2 weeks and I'm pretty sure those were just blatant cheaters and not actually bots

so small and bitter but you just smile through it and say "it's so good! 😒"?
maybe I don't know how to grow stuff...

it's sarcasm saying how Jesus was actually really really caring about people which is the opposite of what conservatives do, dispute them claiming that they're the Christian party

I used to want this unironically, id pay $30 a month to not see any ads AT ALL. However my mind has changed. I now see ad companies as immoral and, quite frankly, evil.

I would rather not only not give them money, but I choose to use a Ublock Origin fork AdNauseam that 'clicks' on all the ads. This seems counter intuitive, but since some advertisers pay per click so clicking a total of a combined 10,000 advertisements on my desktop/laptop/steam deck/whatever costs them a LOT of money, and I've bought 0 products from advertisements because i haven't seen any advertisements!

The best part is that you get an image of all the ads. It's super cool to look and see what they want you to buy and you can play the guessing game of "What Was My ADHD Ass Looking At?!"

(this SS is from ~2 months in iirc, now I'm ~6-10 months in, I'll have to check when I get home.)

But mass downvoting is a form of brigading

The downvote button is just a "I disagree" button. By saying you don't want people to downvote you, you're saying you don't want people to disagree with you.

now you're adding insults to the mix. Well done.

That's a bit passive aggressive innit? I don't think that was close to an insult.

you're not encouraging people to share their thoughts

this is [email protected], not [email protected].

I DO care that you're excusing the inexcusable

I think Luigi's (theoretical) actions are the opposite of excusing the inexcusable. Murdering thousands a year for profit is inexcusable and should be stopped immediately. If that takes the death of the person orchestrating the murders, so be it. I see it as indirect self defense that's just more controversial than direct self defense.
The CEO chose to kill people and accepted the risks that come with it.

Again, I personally could not care less

I doubt that.

what do you think "Direct action" means?

in my Spanish (HS) class if I don't know I just guess based off of the vibes

I've guessed correctly more often than not

A baguette, a baguette, the a.

There is a trick that can help you in this situation.

Just say two baguettes.

It is a little more expensive but in any case, it is worth it and you will have two baguettes at the end.

I don't think the translator worked that well here, but I think it makes it funner lmao

mistakes = ok
purposefully using the wrong pronoun = not ok

is it that difficult? I don't understand why you're so upset about a gender diverse instance enforcing their rules πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

you think respecting trans people is silly? or the gulf of Mexico being "trans" is silly?

this is dodo circa 30 sec ago. While typing she zoomed past me to go investigate the other cats food bowls. My room is dirty because I'm currently kicking her out of my closet so I can actually use it as a closet lol
Shes loved zooming around the piles of stuff so far.

Since the joke of "that was not on my 20XX bingo card" is so popular and we're facing a dangerous year in front of us, what's on your 2025 bingo card?

here are some of mine with varying degrees of confidence,

  • Taylor Swift gets in controversy over something dumb
  • U.S. nationwide HRT ban proposed
  • Bluesky gets advertisements
  • Florida gets exactly 3 hurricanes
  • some sort of glass shortage
  • coca cola gets in a lawsuit
  • skibidi toilet creator does something controversial
  • Elon musk tries to buy Wikipedia
