And yet not enough.

Going off track… the best feature here is that you can block users. Catch about 10 “big fish” and you’ll find that it’s much more normal around here. 0.1% of users create 90% of the drama and squabbling.

Cut the shit.

I would like it if the front end allowed quickly hiding posts.

Right now it’s two clicks deep, and then the whole page refreshes.

I have always felt that HIDE is a very essential part of a proper system like this. It’s the most neutral way you can interact with something, you don’t want to give or detract from votes, you don’t even want to look at it. And in today’s content fire hose, we need this!

Because it’s the emotional inner world that defines how people behave, not education or knowledge or wisdom.

This doesn’t even sound like a real business. This sounds like one of those extemporaneous pitches that gets pulled out of the ass after martini 3, delivered by the sales doofus that doesn’t know how to send an email.

The red flag that caught my eye was all the cheerleading and then snuck at the bottom was (paraphrased) ‘well, people can play as much as they want but, ya know, if it’s like 10 games a month we might have to look at stuff’.

So, what? It’s subscription service but the games vanish (oh you can buy them individually) and and if you use the service for its advertised purpose, there’s going to be problems - only $7.99 ?

I should have said martini 8

It definitely sucked at the time, but it also taught me some key lessons.

Like don’t assume a game is good because it comes in a nice box. Don’t assume a licensed IP means good gameplay. Read reviews, don’t just make a snap purchase.

It was a huge loss for me at the time but I feel like these lessons actually saved me quite a bit of money/frustration over the years.

Audio people collect equipment (amplifiers, receivers, turntables, subwoofers, speakers. modulators), not cables.

There are people who actually understand audio, and they are extraordinarily cynical and dismissive of these types of products. Then there are people who don’t really understand their hobby, they just know they like to spend money on it. I’m describing the difference between an informed connoisseur / collector VS a gadget goof.

This is the same tired thing that’s been going on since I can ever remember. First establish audiophiles as some deranged group of people that are willing to spend the insane amount of money on ridiculous science and then point and laugh.

Real audiophiles don’t give two flying fucks about their cables, for the most part, outside of fundamentals being solid, good shielding, etc.

This is just the electronics version of the same shit you see across every market. $2,000 steaks covered in gold foil - but we’re not castigating steak lovers because a steak lover would not buy such a thing.

The world is filled with people who have so much money it’s embarrassing, and it’s hard for the average chucklehead to understand that.

It kind of pisses me off that they didn’t compare against lamp wire tied to rounded nails. They had the gear.

Your comment is so accusatory and disingenuous.

You’re clearly missing my point intentionally.

And I have an eating disorder, so don’t start, bud.

Really who can say. But wheat, barley and rye all provoke the psoriasis to bloom so it makes the most sense to assume it’s the gluten. It could be something else that is common to all 3, but that seems to be a stretch when the most obvious explanation makes the most sense.

No I don’t get celiac symptoms - since I don’t have celiac disease. Curiously wheat makes the psoriasis bloom, barley does as well but moreso gives me acid reflux immediately after ingestion.

No I’m saying it was the 1st time my cock had seen direct sun.

I mean come on… Try to read and understand

As much as I have spent way too much of my life becoming educated in this area, I’m not actually sure everybody has a definable trigger. After all, it is an autoimmune disorder. I guess I just found out that I’m one of the lucky ones that has figured out what provokes mine.

For anybody that has suffered, also be aware that a universal trigger for psoriasis sufferers is anything with blue/purple dye. They are safe for external use, but psoriasis is broken skin which makes it introduce directly into the bloodstream, and the number one side effect of those dyes is eczema, psoriasis, and dry skin.

E: I have come to believe without evidence to back it up that dyes are actually a major contributor to the general belief that lip balms are “addictive”.

You seem to be conflating 2 different things.

There’s the mechanism which is excess calorie intake v expenditure, and then there’s the reasons for the excess calorie intake. It’s dangerous to blend these because doing so mostly platforms excuses and denial of personal responsibility among obesity sufferers.
