Yeah, this line of posts I would consider completely separate from the other one. Though not completely in a vacuum.

Oh, I wasn’t like being mad or anything. I was just trying to explain what was happening. I’m autistic, so not only have I already learned all these lessons the hard way, but I’m very familiar with being misunderstood and having to make extra effort to explain my jokes.

Edit: And with the most common way of browsing lemmy, especially as a new user, being to have it set to /all, there are actually alot of instances of a random person showing up with a super unpopular hot take on something they don’t know about.

If you want to play a person that would get downvoted, without indicating that you are doing so, you are then not in a position to be upset that you got downvoted. Acting irrational and defending the indefensible is a normal thing to encounter on the internet, unironically.

Nobody knows who you are. And nobody can read the words the way they sound in your head. So if you type exactly what someone that is wrong would type, with no indication that you are doing so ironically, how exactly are people to know that -you- would never say that unironically. There are people that would, and their post would look the exact same.

They did give her a lesser sentence.

Most people don’t have those thoughts in their head in the first place, and thus don’t have to control themselves from posting them at an emotional time.

Calling specific people to commit specific violent actions against specific targets is very much a crime. If it was just a vague “this thing was bad, I am sad” post, there wouldn’t have been a problem, even if one of her followers took it upon themselves to do something. But with her specifically saying exactly which buildings her followers should burn down, it’s a problem even if they don’t then do so.

With all that, I don’t know if your post was serious or sarcastic, so hopefully I’m not getting whooshed. But very much, this is not a role model. Her serving a short prison sentence for what she did will be a better behaviour model to her kids than her getting away with that would have been. And hopefully it will help her work towards being a role model in the future.

The point is that both those statements are the same thing.

As a guy with long curly locks, all my adult life, I have wrapped and unwrapped them around my fingers, or corkscrew my finger into one of the tighter ringlets. Before I was an adult, my parents generally managed to convince me to have haircuts/styles that were more popular for our location.

I actually don’t play with my beard as much, but probably would if I didn’t have the hair. Once I hit 18 and was done school, that’s the last day my hair was ever cut. Gone full natural since then, 41 now. It naturally terminates around 2 feet, hair and beard.

Already gave it away to my neices.

Cv1 was significantly more expensive than a Quest 2. Like, double the price. Even Quest 3 is cheaper, assuming you want the best version of Quest 3.

A rift cv1 nowadays would be a pretty bad deal even if you got it for free.

Could you imagine someone getting a 10 year old cellphone?

What about someone getting a 10 year old cellphone 10 years ago, like, the first smartphone, when everyone else was using an iphone 8 or galaxy s8.

That is the era VR was in 10 years ago. CV1 was fine back then. But it is caveman VR now.

And by today, you mean almost 10 years ago. That’s a Rift CV1.

Yeah, you actually see MAGA hats in public here in Alberta. There is absolutely a recent push of foreign influence, but there was already momentum before the push. Hard to say now how much of that previous momentum was an old push, and how much it grew naturally. The only concrete thing I have ever seen them point at is equalisation payments, and they misunderstand them. Otherwise they think our oil should be worth more than it is, or respected more or something. But also that it should be only Alberta’s oil and not help anyone else. “If they wanted part of our prosperity, they should have had their own oil”, or something.

Basically, it’s just selfish greed all the way down, and some disillusion as to what we even have.

Just one more thing to blame when the “deal” ends up being as bad as they want it to be. Ignoring that it would also be their fault if a “mistranslation” led to the deal being bad. They only have to trick idiots into continuing to be strung along…

In the sense that a venn diagram of “nerds” and people with Autism is nearly a circle, yes.

Ignoring the content of the article for a second. Did they not proofread this at all? There are so many spelling, grammar, and sentence fragment mistakes. I would joke that it was written by AI, but it has too many mistakes for even that to be the case.

I have never seen anyone using the term “cutiepie”(let alone “spelled” like that) succeed at talking to whoever they called a cutiepie.

If you feel like using that word, take a step back and assume you need to give yourself more time before you are mature enough for a relationship.

Hehe, every new tech community goes through that, when it stops being mostly autistic people and becomes mainstream. We pave the way to make sure it’s safe. Then go hide in our little place of that community and wait for “the next thing” that isn’t good enough for normal people yet.

Not sure specifically when they were added, but they are there now. Play the game once every 3 years or so, hehe. Last playthrough we did a 6 player group game. Basically played it like it was dnd sessions. That playthrough had the move speed stuff. Comes from a book seller. So if you know when that book seller was added, it would be then probably.

The sprinkles contain MSG!

I think it might happen in 10, 15, 20 years… but not any sooner than that.

There are plenty of both permanent and temporary speed increases, with the permanent ones you are almost as fast as the horse. And with temporary ones you can be faster than it. No need for mods, just base game. And these are things you easily earn part way through the first year.
