Do you not know that Clostridium Tetani is present in nearly every sample of soil from every region of the globe? Present in the feces of most mammals? It’s literally one of the most widespread bacteria on earth. You only think it’s rare because of how effective vaccination has been.
This is beyond depressing. I would love to think that explicitly queer spaces would be as inclusive to transfems as anyone else, but it’s clear that that’s not the case.
Absolutely. Daggerfall is an excellent game! It has some bugs, sure, and the procedural dungeons are sometimes broken, but it is such a fun game that really pushed what was possible in its time.
I just struggled hard with the gameplay. Some games throw up road blocks, but TW1 threw up entire mountain ranges for me. Maybe I just didn’t quite get something in the mechanics, but it felt like the game would routinely go from playable, to “die incessantly until you grind and overlevel”. A lot of the game’s difficulty felt like it was just level-gating progression blocks. Maybe I was just trying to go too fast? I admit that I may have just brute-forced my way through things that probably had a more nuanced or subtle solution.
This is also not to say that I dislike TW1 at all. I quite enjoyed it. It just frustrated me more than 2 and 3 combined.
I have three with one on the way. It’s a constant struggle to keep the place livable. Before I had children I was not a neat person and kept things livable by not doing things that made mess and staying out as much as possible. Can’t do that with kids, so what’s the trick?
Learn to redefine “clean”. You’re not living in a museum. Things don’t need to be pristine and dust free.
I picked a day of the week, in my case Saturday, and chose one area of the house to concentrate on. Dishes, laundry, and any other “infinite work” chores can become overwhelming quickly if they’re not kept up on, so there are frequently days where that’s the only house work that gets done.
The unpopular truth here is that if you value cleanliness enough for this to bother you, you probably should have considered this well before your third kid. Just do yourself a favor and never, ever resent your kids for their messes. I hope you find a way that works for you and maximizes your relationships with your children!
Seeking social media stardom for their underage daughters, mothers post images of them on Instagram. The accounts draw men sexually attracted to children, and they sometimes pay to see more....
There are so many levels of wrong to this that it’s hard to take it all in.
So the mom admits that she thinks they’re all pedos, but keeps posting anyway? There are a few different levels of depravity to that one element.
It’s not a popular take, but it seems pretty well established that pedophilia is a compulsive mental disorder. Nothing about that absolves them of their actions, but it gives us a base-line that they are all collectively sick in the literal sense.
“Mom”, if one could deign to label her such, is admitting that she is slinging images of her underage child to what amount to compulsive addicts. She’s exploiting her daughter’s innocence for profit, while feeding into the self-destructive compulsion of others, while simultaneously judging her customers with disgust and contempt.
She’s so much worse than a drug dealer. This is the worst kind of abuse and exploitation, and really makes you wonder just how much worse it really is behind closed doors for those “extras”?
The entire situation is just a circle-jerk of depravity.
This hit me like a week ago. I straight up panicked. I still kinda am. I don’t know what to do. I’m fucking terrified. How do you learn how to be a girl in your forties? I don’t even know how to do makeup, every time I tried it looked like shit....
And how well did that work with Adolph Hitler? History seems to suggest that jailing would-be Fascist dictators only delays the inevitable, and tends to work in their favor by galvanizing their followers over the “injustice” of their incarceration. For moral and ethical reasons, I truly wish that were the appropriate response. History says it isn’t nearly as final as the solutions these maniacs devise for their scapegoats.
Hogwarts Legacy on Switch. I should have known better, but my local Walmart had it on sale for $29.99 a few weeks ago and I bought on impulse after reading a few posts about how it’s gotten better after updates. I’ve had glitches galore. Mad pop-in, falling through geometry, crashes, and two save game corruptions, all in the most up-to-date version available. If this is better, I can’t imagine how broken it was at launch. I feel like I got $5 of content out of this. If the glitches were at least amusing, I might be ok with it, but the save corruption is just unacceptable.

So my child, who is not old enough for their own account, will now no longer be able to watch Disney+ while attending school at their residential academy 400 miles away. Just like Netflix. And just like Netflix, my subscription will be canceled the moment they try to block them from logging in.

We hear ourselves all the time, but we don’t sound at all to ourselves the way we actually sound. We don’t have a sort of internal picture of ourselves to create dissonance with our reflection or photographs in the same way we do with our voices. It’s that dissonance that makes us distrust or dislike hearing ourselves as we actually sound because that isn’t the voice we identify with internally.
I will never understand gankers/griefers. Rp I’m all for, but ramming another cmdr to death, inside a station no less? What’s the point? What’s your endgame here? Do you want to play alone?

I think the real underlying reason is that the PVP Arena mode is basically dead and there’s no true long-term PVP endgame, at least for some. Others are just assholes. But some are bored because the game is light-years wide but inches deep content-wise. No new ships in years. Odyssey is a half-baked disappointment that offers minimal content for maximum grinding while failing to deliver the only thing players have been begging for since Day One. So they gank and grief. It sucks, and it’s only ever gotten worse because it seems the gankers have pretty successfully run off a lot of the folks who may have stuck around, and console players don’t even get to play on the main server anymore. Putting thousands of hours into my game on Xbox and then being exiled is a rude slap in the face because “wah game dev hard”. I’m sure I’m not the only person in the same boat who can’t afford a PC to continue playing the actual game, either.
Tl;dr: FDev has not only done nothing to address griefers, their decisions actively promote griefing.
