And yet here you are, getting upset that people didn’t like what you said

I was never upset about them not liking what I said

That’s where you misunderstood me

I know that you in particular did not misunderstand me on my AI stance, but you did misunderstand me on what was annoying me

But now that you’ve made it clear, thank you for having an appropriate counterpoint

This kind of shit happens to me a lot as an autistic person and you were just here to see the camel’s back break in a space where I can anonymously show more negative emotions with less shame. As for reading the room, boy I have room literacy just not an online-friendly amount of it :/

This is what I mean

You’re doing it again, telling ME what I THINK

That’s the only issue that I have

Like or don’t like what I say. I’m cool with that

But DO NOT misrepresent me and what I stand for. Do not mistake me for something that I am not

I am not an AI supporter. That’s all I want to make clear. I am not what you say I am. That’s why I’m upset, not if you agree or disagree with what I’m saying

Just stop mischaracterizing me

Do you understand? I am not upset about being disagreed with

I am not sorry for anything, because I never had a problem with what you claim my problem is. I am fundamentally being misunderstood and that’s what pisses me off

It’s more like you’re a computer made of fat, piloting a bone mech powered by meat motors wearing a meat suit

When my dad didn’t know better when I was a little kid, I told him how curious I was to try soy milk after seeing it in a kids’ show

He told me to never drink it because then I’ll start growing boobs

No, it’s plausible

The unrealistic part is expecting the company (who has access to whatever information you use for your HUD stats) not to take greedy advantage of every tiny detail of your life to fill your HUD with ads and probably other nefarious shit

And for the HUD to not be AI-powered, since they’d also be too lazy to put real programming into it

I’d love an online-free version of that though. Huge one-time purchase, software runs entirely within hardware. That’s the dream

Born

Hey, what I gave is different than what I’m getting. All I said was that the criticism was weak, and now you’re all assuming that I’m suddenly with AI

I don’t care if you disagree. My pet peeve is being told what I think and what I am

Oh it was bad alright xD

My downvote wasn’t as serious as other downvotes I’d normally give. You just really made me groan

This guy still believes in the ganda

I’m going a step further, because you know tail docking is as old as 2,000 years ago? People didn’t even know that animals felt pain

I don’t know much about the details, but here’s what makes me suspicious: didn’t dogs already chase and hunt before domestication?

And, you’re telling me that only after humans make a job out of it, it becomes something that injures their tails?

This is why the factory analogy starts to make sense, because clearly there is something that was put in place, that we imposed on the dogs. Something changed, from the wilderness to their jobs, that make chasing and hunting less safe for them

And instead of doing the responsible thing and making it safe by idk, fixing the thing that injures their tails? No, no too hard, no let’s just fucking cut off the entire thing

I mean that’s just so dramatic and cruel. There had to be a better way

This, it’s important never to misdirect hate on what countries inherently give back to the world

I think that’s what makes it so good. It gives you hope that we will find peace in this huge barren land where mercy wins in the end

Some of them! Unfortunately I moved, and had to put my boxed set in storage, and I can’t get to it because it’s lumped in with all of my family’s stuff, probably buried which is really annoying and makes me wanna just repurchase them at this point

I did get as far as past the section that the movie was based on, definitely didn’t expect the Tolmekians Torumekians to be just the knights, with no chickenhead soldiers or birdface tank guys, with the chickenheads originally being wormhandlers. That is one thing that I prefer about the movie since the chickenhead helmet bears a striking resemblance to the giant warrior, which is a nice parallel to the monster that they aspire to use

Edit: just realized that you can actually see the birdies in some panels like here

The injuries were related to the dog’s job

That’s like if people work at a candy factory and they keep injuring their thumbs on the blade of the candy making machine, but instead of making the machine safer we just cut off their thumbs

Humans are so violent like jfc

It’s a snafu; it’s not real, but it’s closely based on the real thing

This one is coaxed into ear cropping and tail docking

Bro I’m a grown man and didn’t even know about tail docking until probably months ago

Saw this lady in an elevator with a dog, and the dog had no damn tail

Anyway I was like “umm is your dog okay??” And she just gives the most nonchalant, indifferent explanation, she’s like “ohh yeah her tail got docked~” and I’m just thinking wtf is she even implying here. I had to google what that even meant later because it didn’t even occur to me that she actually had that dog’s tail removed on purpose

I assumed that she meant that the tail was diseased somehow and had to be amputated, like maybe docking is just emergency tail amputation- BUT NO AARRGGH I hate this planet

Vegetables is a broader and higher classification of food. It describes any edible plant

It refers to leaves, roots, stems, stalks, seeds, pods

It even refers to fruits other than tomatoes, e.g. peppers, squash, okra, corn, peas… all fruits, some even berries

If we wanted, right now, we could ALL just decide to start naming another subclass of vegetables, let’s say roots are now called beebles

Well now it’s fruits, vegetables, and beebles. If this were a trinary of equal classifications, then we’d all swear NO YOU FOOL, POTATOES AND RADISHES ARE NOT VEGETABLES!!! THEY ARE DAMN BEEBLES!!!

And that… just sounds so silly

McAfee basically is a virus. Pops up like hell’s popping corn and is hard to get rid of

I think that the soundtrack, the designs, and ultimately just growing up with it, are what make me partial to it

I thought that was Reddit, why even come here then 😭
