  1. My wife and I watched the Outlaws trailer yesterday. As it ended she looked at me and said "How could it try so hard to look epic but end up looking so boring?" She took the words right out of my mouth.

  2. There is a local boba tea place that opened about 2 years ago. They use a digital POS system just like pretty much any business does nowadays. The single biggest difference between them and just about everywhere else is that when they turn the screen around for you to sign they bypass all of the tip screens and they WONT LET YOU TIP. They even refuse cash tips. These same people bend over backwards to make sure you are happy with their service and their drinks, and if you don't know what you want and they suggest something for you they WILL NOT LET YOU PAY until you've tried it and like it. If you don't like it they will make something else and they will give you both drinks for free. Their business is BOOMING, and word of mouth advertising for them has skyrocketed the amount of business to the point where it's always a long wait to get your drink, but nobody cares because they love the people who own the place and the people who work there so much.

  4.  @mackpunch368  And it's in direct conflict with the way the rest of society operates. Why then does the rest of society have to bend to the tiniest fractional minority's whims about speech? What makes the fact that they take offense to normalcy more powerful than societal norms?

  5. The way you talked to your mom about cigarettes is the way other people are trying to talk to you about improving your living conditions. I lost my dad in 2005 and still miss him, that part never goes away, but I honor his memory by trying to improve myself every day. I hope you can pick yourself up and start doing the same.

  6. “The best argument against Democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.” This quote often gets attributed to Churchill, although who knows if he said it. Regardless, it's apt.

  7. Exactly. SBI doesn't have to be the sole cause of this, but they have become the face and meme of this, and we can use that to focus attention wherever it's needed to shine light on any and everyone else doing the same thing.

  10. I think the Cocomelon people have simply ramped up the techniques that television advertisement companies have been using forever. One of the reasons I got rid of live TV from my house was when I noticed just how much of an effect commercials had on toddlers, both my own kids and their friends and cousins. The kids would be running around acting wild, like toddlers do, but the second a commercial would come on they would all stop in their tracks and all attention would be glued to the TV. I started to suspect that there was either some sound outside of the hearing range of adults or something else going on, because it was eerie. I pointed it out to my family and they all started noticing the same thing.

  11. When my wife was pregnant with my now 10 year old daughter the only severe craving she got was for a Big Mac. We never eat at McDonalds but the craving was unquenchable. We went on 5 separate occasions and they didn't get her order right any of the 5 times, across 3 different locations. 3 of the times we got something other than a Big Mac, and the two times we got the Big Mac neither had sauce and one only had 2 buns. We haven't even thought about going back since.

  17. The problem with having the discussion that you want to have is modern feminism. To even have an honest conversation about it you instantly get labeled a misogynist or worse. The goalposts move on purpose, in order to ensure that the money stays in feminism.

  24.  @37Hipper  Start small. Do SOMETHING out of the ordinary in that lazy time, even if it's just standing up and walking around for 10 minutes. Make that part of your habit and then make it 20 minutes. Once you are used to moving, start to focus that movement in the direction you want to head. Keep physically moving even when you change and start focusing on movement in your financial life. Improving your physical fitness will help keep you motivated to improving the other parts of your life. It's going to suck, but you can do it and once you've been doing it you will start to feel proud of yourself for overcoming the suck.

  26. The problem with that is that it would likely make the finals completely uninteresting as the streamer would likely roll them due to items and gear. Non-streamers were already allowed in this tournament and you can see how that turned out. What they really need is an enforceable ruleset that doesn't give streamers an exponential advantage over non-streamers, like an SSF tournament.

  32. MHWilds is the first time I was actually overwhelmed by the options in the character creator of a game. I played it a little and then tried to stop so that I'd have more to discover next February. Then I went back to it and tried to stop because I wanted to have more to discover next February....then I went back and fought Rey Dau and now I can't wait for February can it please be February already?

Not everyone is bad with money.

  41. I do get the schadenfreude temptation to say "Let the stupid people get scammed" but, in order to maintain a functional society you can't allow it. After a few iterations this becomes "Let the weak people suffer the home invasions. They should have been stronger."

  42. I still play D3 couch-coop with my wife and I think D4 looks awesome. This video actually made me feel better about the game since I'll be playing it almost exclusively couch-coop on console and I was semi worried that it would be too complex for my wife.

  43. I too was raised by a narcissist mother, although she no longer has any place in my life nor the life of my wife and kids. Even though you don't think you will make a lasting difference you can set an example every day in every interaction you have. Kindness goes a long way, especially in face to face interactions, and even if you won't leave a centuries long legacy by small acts of kindness you certainly can make the world better, even if only infinitesimally.

  56. Asmon is learning a valuable lesson about the progressive left. They are only your friend as long as they can use you to advance their own agenda. They only love you as long as you are useful to them. They don't love you Asmon, they love your reach, and as soon as you aren't in line with them you become their enemy.

  59. I still play Diablo 4 couch-coop with my wife (although this season is lame so we've mostly been playing BG3). Every now and then we see a cosmetic that we would absolutely buy if it were in the $1-$5 range. Every time we see something cool we look at the price and go "Nope." Every. Single. Time. We have been playing since beta and have purchased zero cosmetics because the prices are just ludicrous. It makes me wonder who in the hell is actually buying the cosmetics. My guess is that very few people actually are, and instead of thinking "If we made these cheaper more people would buy them and our profits would go up" they actually think "Nobody is buying these so we need to make them even more expensive so that we can make more money on the miniscule amount of sales we currently have".

  60. This. I see a lot of doomer complaints in this thread about "I used to do X 5+ years ago and I'm still doing X but it cost more and I haven't changed at all nor learned any lessons." Around here there are a ton of open positions that pay solid wages plus benefits and they'll take anyone with a pulse. People have simply convinced themselves that they deserve to be immediately comfortable and living the life they think they deserve. Does inflation suck? Yes. Is life still livable? Absolutely.

  61. At least the conspiracy that the deep state would rig the election for one of their own is somewhat believable. How could Trump possibly have rigged the election between all the time that was spent trying to shoot him, convict him of felonies etc?

  62. I don't know about the availability of where you live but I have some recommendations for where to meet quality people: Try a cigar lounge. Try a board game group. Try volunteering. If you believe try attending church and then attending various activities through the church. The chances of you making a permanent friend online is extraordinarily slim, but if you find shared interests with people and meet up with those people to do those activities then making friends flows naturally from there.

  64. I bought a bunch of my favorite boxer briefs in the early 00's and they are all finally starting to wear out and get holes under the elastic in the waist at the same time. I've been trying to replace them and I haven't found a brand (I haven't tried all of them, but I have tried 8 or 9 now) that both fit well and last more than 2 months. I also have 2 Hurley hoodies and a pair of Abercrombie warmups that I bought in 1999 that are still going strong, and I've already started to see wear on the Hurley hoodie I bought at Costco about 5 months ago.

  65. I love the term "dog whistling". The definition of "dog whistling" has changed and now means "I can ascribe meaning to anything you say and call it a dog-whistle so that I can discredit you without having to have any logic or proof behind my argument."

  66. I live in N Idaho, a supposed mecca for supremacists. I am very active in my community and the ONLY people I ever hear about this kind of thing from, in fact the people who I learned about these references and "dogwhistles" from, are ALL pearl clutching progressives.

  67. I think a big lesson we all learned this time around is that the overly emotional moral grandstanding, name calling, shaming and dehumanizing no longer works on us. We're tired of it, and it wasn't even that hard to defeat. All we had to do was quit giving ground.

  70. When done intentionally that's called building rapport and it's actually a very useful strategy when getting to know someone for the first time. I used to have horrendous social anxiety, and I spent a LOT of time putting myself in uncomfortable positions socially (simply talking to strangers used to TERRIFY me) in order to face my fear. One thing that helped me was that I would pretend that anyone I was meeting in a social situation was already my friend, and that helped me remain more calm and have easier conversation. It also helps to ask people questions about themselves, which can naturally lead into discovering things that you have in common and going from there.

  71. I used to drag those bat riders onto one of the rogues in our guild who refused....REFUSED...to manage his aggro. I would warn him, save him, and then teach him a lesson. He died so many times one run that he had to use a repair bot...still never learned his lesson.

  72. It's not all bots. My mother in law spends HOURS on facebook every day and she likes and comments on these kinds of pictures ALL THE TIME. Her and her friends, all in their 60's and 70's will also repost crap like this, and the whole group of them then perpetuates it.

  85.  @taylemgames2652  This! My parents were terrible with money, emotionally and physically abusive and my childhood sucked ass. I put my anger and hurt into ensuring that I wouldn't have to live like that and that my kids would be way better off than I ever was and that's exactly how I live. I bought my first house at 41 and I have zero credit card debt, no car payments and my wife is able to be a stay at home mom. I didn't follow my passion or my dreams, I looked at the job market and decided my path based on where the jobs were. I NEVER wanted to work in healthcare but I've been doing it for almost 20 years now and, while the work doesn't thrill me, it lets me live the kind of life I knew I could.

  87. I feel like an idiot. I started playing Avowed because it was on GP and I figured "'why not?" and I've been having fun with it.....but I was also holstering/sheathing my weapons in town because I just assumed that NPC's would react negatively if I had them out. Baby's first Elder Scrolls.

  88. This is why I quit calling the people who make games like this developers and started calling them programmers. Even with all of the available history of D1, D2, D3, D2 remastered etc they still manage to f it up every single time. If it's because it seems like a job to them rather than a passion that's because that's exactly what it is. A whole bunch of people who don't like games are now forming large parts of the game development industry to fill quotas rather than to make great games they are passionate about. This is the result of that.

  89. "If you wanted 30+ you needed 10 years experience. And if you wanted more then that you either need to weld on the top of skyscrapers. Or underwater offshore." The skill does indeed mean the opportunity to get paid more. You outlined three methods of increased pay yourself. It took me about 7 years from starting in healthcare to making above $30+. This is how the job market works.

  90. "I didn't even play any of these other games, I didn't realize this." I think Asmon has accidentally summed up the experience level of the modern game-dev perfectly. The industry had an influx of people who wanted to be involved without any actual love for video games nor history with video games. They saw a space that they wanted to make "inclusive" and have subsequently forced the passionate people out, resulting in the kind of soulless facsimiles of the games we used to love that we are seeing now.

  92. While I understand that you feel like you were born rich, not showing respect for the things that you do choose to have shows that while you may feel that way you certainly don't act that way. The house and things may be "good enough" but when you don't clean and maintain them you are showing that you don't truly care about the things you have. Cleaning isn't just about meeting some standard that other people set for you, it's a statement about how you choose to live and how much pride you choose to take in the foundation of your life.

  95. "The more I care about things, the more unhappy I am as a person." - Welcome to adulthood. The type of person you are is determined by whether you let that control you, or if you take control. You've convinced yourself you are more different than you are. I'm glad you are talking about it, but what you see as a performance or an act is actually called "deciding what kind of person you are going to be" and it's a struggle for the majority of people who actually give any kind of crap about being a good person.

Game comes out that focuses on traditional beauty/sexiness and those same "journos" froth at the mouth about how "unrealistic and sexist" it is. The last gasps of the fading relevance of self destructive narcissists. This is always going to be the end result of trying to take over a thing to destroy it from the inside. Either the thing ceases to exist, or you get booted the hell out. It's about time.

  104. Gamepass is awesome. It's the best value in gaming right now for me, but that completely hinges on the fact that I can buy the games I like at a discount, and I get to play other games I wouldn't buy for "free" i.e. included with the subscription. Currently it is 100% value-add for me, especially since my one GPU sub can be used across multiple different consoles in my house and my PC, all simultaneously. With all of that being said, if they removed the ability to buy games I'd unsubscribe immediately.
