I feel like I'm the only one that has had a bad experience nearly every time I've smoked. I remember passing out on the ground and no one being able to wake me for a while and it felt like I had to turn my bodily systems back on one by one. I've not been the same since.

That was my first thought as well.

"I'm having a problem with X. Any help/advice?"

"Just use cheats/edit your save file/use a mod."

"I can't do that, I'm playing on the PSexbox."

"lol play on PC, scrub."

Yes, that's some helpful advice right there!

Not that I'm likely going to be using the game boards anyway, because they've been shit for years and YouTube walkthroughs, game-specific Wikis, and Reddit are all better for figuring things out at this point than GameFAQs is.

To be honest a lot of multi platform games end up just using only one of the boards anyway.

Is that really a thing? I hate the constantly change culture. Is that a primarily US thing? I haven't changed jobs because I really like where I am, but everything seems to say you should constantly be jumping.

well if it's someone you don't personally know and they'll never personally know you, i don't really think it matters because it shouldn't ever really be a problem for either of you

it sounds like a complete nonissue

you can hate random people you'll never meet if you want to

like, it's not related to dating, but i don't like sharon osbourne because i dislike piers morgan and bill maher to a gigantic degree

That is similar to me, I don't like bill maher to a gigantic degree and found out this person dated them. And now it has tainted my view of the person so listening to them on the podcast has a different tone that I dislike.

I think I should have phrased this topic differently. I would never hurt someone because of who they've previously dated but I would have trouble trusting them if I found out they trusted someone who I found untrustworthy. It makes me question their judgement.

Man, I really didn't feel like this was that controversial of a take.

So my situation is this. I listen to a podcast and there is a person on there I was relatively neutral on. I found out that they dated someone in the industry that I think is not a good person. And they dated for 2 years. So in my head I'm thinking, if they were willing to date that person for that long do they think like that person as well? What things are they ok with? Maybe this person I'm listening to isn't that great either.

It seems like y'all are saying that you don't judge people by the company they choose to keep. Which just doesn't make sense to me.

Also, Im not dating nor would ever plan on dating this person. Regardless of this my problem is that I think the other person has questionable character so for them to be fine with that, and still seem to be fine with it later makes me wonder about their character.

For example if I found out someone dated Alex Jones and didnt regret it, I'd think that was kind of weird.

It just makes me wonder about their morals if they were okay with that persons morals.

I found out a person I listen to has dated a person I pretty strongly dislike. It seems this person hasn't disowned them nor were the ones that initiated the breakup.

Spiderman for the ps4, it was a good game but it was story focused but the story wasn't really anything special.

I think those are the games you end up not replaying. A solid game that is more story based, but the story isn't something special, it's just good. Don't get me wrong, the mechanical aspects and gameplay of spiderman is great but it doesn't inspire me to replay the entire game.

Doesn't bother me but I dont get it.

I can understand the satisfaction that comes with identifying with he or she but not they. Maybe its a feeling of freedom from being shackled to traditional gender roles but I dont really know.

It also makes me wonder what the point of he and she are. Is it just a quicker way to identify how Ill likely feel about the person sexually/romantically? Situations where sex is important like medicine are going to require more than the pronoun anyway.

I also dont like it being a plural referring to a single person, I wish there was just a gender neutral pronoun that rolled of the tongue.

Most of the engineers and data scientists I work with dont play video games or are even interested in things like that. A lot of them are interested in outdoor activities and social functions. Everyone is super attractive too I think Im one of the only overweight people there. Theyre the complete opposite of the stereotypical engineer you'd see on a show like TBBT. Its weird.

I also hate work though, I can't imagine a better places and I still dont really like it. Just feels like a waste. Especially since the work feels meaningless, I manipulate billions of customer transactions of customer data to hand off to data scientists so they can tell companies what people are more likely to use coupons.

The moment in the show that gets me is in the episode where Howard is given the task of throwing the first pitch at a baseball game. The whole episode is spent making fun of Howard for not being able to throw a baseball. Then at the end of the episode Howard decides to use the Mars Rover to deliver the pitch instead. This seemed like a really cool and creative way of lettting him win and paying off the episode.

But nope, instead the robot doesn't work out and he ends up getting boo'd by everyone.

And that is basically how the show works, hammering nerd stereotypes for the sake of comedy and never let them have any victories. It gets annoying.

If a trans girls is allowed to take hormones at 11-13 (when puberty would usually start) she wouldn't have any of the "benefits" of a testosterone puberty. Even if she starts at 16, within a year those benefits are gone.

I put benefits in quotations because despite testosterone being monitored and controlled in pretty much all sports, it's interesting that the athletes with the highest testosterone don't always win.

I don't necessarily disagree and have seen a study that semi suggests this. Thought it still does show the median trans athlete being above the upper end of the cis gender female histogram.

I don't know if I'd say I've done better or worse. In some aspects I'd say I've done better, whereas in others I am struggling. I've barely seen any of my friends during the pandemic (I moved which just compounds the issue, so I haven't been able to make new friends where I live), and that is taking a toll on me even though I'm mostly introverted. But I have been able to dedicate a lot of time to projects and goals I've wanted to pursue, and that has been good. Overall, I'm ready for this pandemic to be over because it has largely made me feel stuck in stasis, since my broader life goals have had to be postponed.

I understand the stasis feeling. What projects have you started?
