Fuck that.
Am I just supposed to fucking guess at Royalan's waistline, or are you going to step up and do your job?

I know what the projections looked like, but I need to know for sure.

You can only go back to the well so many times, unlike royalan at a golden corral buffet.

There is a group of hostile female pirates featured in some episodes, and this is the captain's standard outfit:

She's also shown completely naked in a scene.

It's hilarious how much they sound like Christian moms

And since when did "it's just a joke" argument ever not get people on Ree banned and villified?

The correct policy would be to allow body shaming, even as a joke, so someone can make fun of Tanukana's fucked up beaver teeth with no repercussions.

As a tallee myself, I'm 100% for the persecution and eventual genocide of shortos. I'm tired of not having legroom on flights and if we get rid of all the shortos we can remake society as a Tall-Friendly Utopia.

I'm not short, but I am disgusted by the behavior here. Saying they feel "emasculated" by being offended is the very definition of toxic masculinity. Are men not allowed to have insecurities or have their feelings hurt? True bullshit from this community, and it has the same attitudes towards men's mental health as any other brocentric forum

Is "drinking male tears" toxic masculinity now?

Quote from: Axon
I mean its not just men/boys, either. These games are starting to get wise and target horny girls too with male designs catered to those audiences.

Someone needs to tell Helen Lovejoy here about homosexuality.

The martial artist class default male character is so specifically laser targeted at the "I love kdrama actors" crowd it was kinda jarring to see in a game.

The first proper companion you run into also has the most K-pop of K-pop hairdo where he's basically blind but all the "High heels are too impractical!!" people don't care about that

User Banned (3 Months): Dismissing Concerns of Racism; History of Dismissive Behaviour

I think this trend of expecting/demanding censorship is not going to age well. And why leave it up to the store? Why not put a black list in the GPU drivers just to be sure?
Quote
Yeah because it would be so horrible if racist, sexist, homophobic, and downright gross (rape simulators) games got censored.
Quote
Removing racist content is not censorship. These developers have the ability to sell their game through any other store or their own website if they're inclined to do so, nothing is stopping them. But they're quite obviously not in the business to create a genuine game people actually want to play, they only want to access to the platform everyone is using so they can get a rise of people while pandering to racists who'll use it as a platform for spreading their hatred. It's nothing new, and there's no reason to enable it.

I'm so mad at Amazon.com right now. They sent me an old product in a new box. And I didn’t find out until just now, nearly a year later.

Last year I ordered an Apple Magic Trackpad from Amazon. I thought it was the latest 2021 model. It came in the 2021 box with the 2021 model number on the box. I still have that box.

I recently ordered the new Touch ID keyboard directly from Apple. I saw this 3D printed accessory on Etsy. I made sure I ordered the 3D printed model that matched the model numbers on my Apple boxes. My keyboard fits perfectly but my trackpad doesn’t fit at all. I contacted the Etsy seller with photos, and based on the shape he confirmed I have the 2015 trackpad not the 2021 one.

I tried to contact Amazon, but I couldn’t get to a human. I’ll try again later tonight when I’m less busy. I’m not sure what they’ll do for an order nearly a year old but I paid well over $100 for that Apple trackpad.

I like how he assumed Amazon had, for some unclear reason but definitely a nefarious scam, opened the boxes and swapped all the items inside then resealed it before shipping it to him rather than it being the Etsy person who is wrong.

Man. Imagine some other CEO of a public company tweeting this.
Man, imagine letting Elon live rent free in your head.

I get what you're implying, but to me this tweet is shocking no matter if Musk was expected to be an asshole or not.

Posting a "joke" saying that the Canadian prime minister is worse than Hitler is some heinous shit, and for so many reasons...
lmao

My guess is that Elon Musk is the kind of guy for whom Hitler and Nazism is only a serious matter when it's a bludgeon that he can use against others.

So, the truth is that Elon Musk is completely unspecial. He's just another typical techbro trying to present himself as a cool, freethinking rebel when he's really just a standard shithead and the norms he feels so good about flouting are usually just common decency.

Elon sucks, sure, but he's just part of the greater mess that's letting these kind of pricks run wild and heaping the praise they crave on them.
Just post through it breh.

He insults the Canadian govt.
He insults the US govt.
He praises the Chinese govt.

I'm seeing a pattern form.
Oh, he's a ResetERA.com member.

I think insulting the Canadian government should be at least 5 years in prison. Of course your bank account is frozen too. That's only reasonable.  :cancry
