Just a below average idiot that mostly comments for one of 3 reasons:
Catharsis, expressing exasperation over the general state of things.
Looking to make someone laugh.
Self deprecation.
I don’t really understand this. What’s the difference if I watch a Disney movie and make pictures? Midjourney isn’t selling the pictures, I think that’s where it gets to be illegal.
If my printer has the capacity to print what I created and it’s a copyrighted thing then do they sue Epson or me? It’s just taking the work out of being artistic, but I don’t see how it’s different than me making the image myself as long as I don’t sell it.
Yarrrr this be very true, if ye be a real fan and really want te play somethin then you’ll make it happen

OkCupid.com (founded 2004) asked users a wide range of multiple-choice questions. It then went further by also asking them to specify the responses to those same questions they wanted to see from prospective partners
Yet another example of a feature dumbed down for seemingly no reason… In another comment I mentioned removing features, and this one mentioned here used to have a section for you to elaborate on your response… They removed it just a few years ago for god knows what reason, making that questions section worse…
“Do pets have souls: yes/no”
…well normally I’d say “no” and then elaborate with “because I don’t believe in souls, I don’t think anyone has a soul. We have personalities and I believe animals have them too.”
Now I just look like some heartless psycho “no, animals don’t have souls.”
I have been on and off dating apps for over 10 years. I witnessed what they did to them.
Enshittification to the maximum. Sites literally REMOVED useful functions and put others behind paywalls. You used to be able to set tags of interests and search by tags as well to find people into the same things as you, but that stops you from swipe swipe swipe swipe swipe… Swipe swipe is time spent on the app which increases the chance you start feeling desperate and pay them for the increased functionality of… Seeing who likes you… Other sites used to let you actually browse who was near you, not swipe, but have a list of people to look through. That’s not swipe swipe swipe pulling the dopamine lever so gotta give it the axe.
I mostly blame Match Group. Any dating site that actually worked well was bought by them and stripped down to be tinder 2.0 clones.
The more difficult it is to use the more likely they are to get you feeling desperate which is how they get you to pay up. No thanks.
“I wonder why aliens never show themselves to us?! Come in peace!”
…yeah.
Putting aside the insanely vast distances needed to reach us, we can’t even stop killing each other. Why the hell would another intelligent life form want to come here? All we do is kill each other, rob each other, exploit each other. Wonderful societies we have going for us.
Seriously lol monster hunter wilds was pretty frustrating with that shit… Like ok Olivia isn’t traditionally “hot” but wtf not every character in a game needs to be a supermodel for you to jerk to. I kinda like the strong woman theme anyway, she’s attractive in a different way.
Steve fucking Bannon wanted exactly these kinds of men. He helped push the gamergate thing and wanted to cultivate a group that he called “rootless white men.” He utilized anger within the gaming community and focused it on right wing talking points, now that shit has spread like wildfire. Check any steam discussions forum for any reasonably popular game and you’re guaranteed to find a “is this game woke?” Thread or “stop with the fucking pronouns!”
Lance or sword and shield might be good to stay a bit safer and learn the monsters. This game series is all about understanding what you’re fighting, they will all have a “tell” when they go to do something. Some might take one step backwards and arch in a specific way, some might make a specific noise, and they’ll always follow with a specific move. You have to understand what they’re going to do so you can figure out how much time you have to attack.
You’re going to die a bunch, but after a while you’ll come to know how the monster you’re fighting will move and it will get easier.
After all that also get to learn the skills that come with armor pieces, you want specific skills to compliment play styles. I don’t remember freedom unite specifically, but for weapons with a shield you’d want a skill called “guard” that improves how blocking works, whether it’s taking less stamina when you get hit or allowing you to block once unblockable moves.
And as others have said, with the older monster hunter games you have to learn “the claw” lol they had absolutely atrocious camera controls
I keep editing as I remember other important things lol there’s a move called the “superman dive” that will save your ass. When your weapon is put away and you’re running AWAY from an attack, you can “roll” but it will make you do a dive that makes you invulnerable for a bit. You cannot be moving towards the monster or it won’t work and you’ll just do a normal roll. I also don’t remember if freedom unite has this as well, but in most monster hunter games you don’t have to get up when you get hit to the ground. If a monster knocks you down and you see they’re following with another move just don’t move, let your character stay down and you shouldn’t get hit.
October 2025: China will now face an ungabatillion percent tarrif! We can keep this going all day!
“It’s also worth noting that in many instances they’re renaming the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) to strip the word “equity” out. Because, you know, racist kakistocracy.”
So it will be BAD, fitting…
It’s so grey! I mean whatever you’re into, no shame here.
Right wingers: wait wait I love USAID now!
Yeah with all the ways he seems to be actively trying to ruin the country I wouldn’t be the slightest bit surprised to see him have the US do it first and then the others “can follow” after they see we did it.
Except what they’ll follow with are nukes aimed at us to ensure we can never get in their ways again. :/
They aren’t really off with 1984. “The ministry of peace” being the department of war and all that. Pro Women’s health actually being anti women’s health.
It’s so gross…
“Pro Women’s Healthcare”
😡😡😡😡😡😡
Fucking propagandists
I believe Sanders is actually independent and just votes with Democrats because they’re the current only option.
We cannot afford to chain ourselves to a corporate focused party that will never have our best interest in mind. We have 4 years to start working on this, we can’t keep doing this “it’s too late” thing over and over and over and over. The Democratic party is still refusing to accept what they did wrong. They’re pulling this whole “it was a messaging problem” thing as if they just need to lie to us harder and somehow we’ll get them back in office.
I’m tired of 40 years of the same thing. They aren’t changing.
Anyone here old enough to remember when Republicans would say “we don’t pick winners and losers?”
They really went full 180… we openly picked a winner, they’re our donors.
You’re saying this isn’t a real picture with accurate information???
Now is literally the time to fight for a new party. We’re 4 years away from a general election, the next elections are local which means it’s way more realistic and up to all of us to actually go and run with/vote for this “new” party. We have 4 years to work on the message getting a wider spread and even if it doesn’t, we’ll have the Congress if all goes well.
The Democratic party can die in a fire.
Thanks for the detailed response!
