Someone wasn’t prepared.

Anyone wanna play Tanaris at The Station?

Yes, similar to the web of trust, there exists a web of trust for people based on reputation. Journalistic integrity, openness, scrutiny; these are just a few of the things that go away when experts go away.

People who dedicate their lives to truth should be recognized as such, and those who lie should be recognized as well. Outsourcing your information gathering to “randoms” just means that you will be swayed by whoever can afford the best bot farm.

And if you think you are unswayable, you are the perfect target.

Follow those who express curiosity, welcome questioning, and conduct themselves in good faith. It’s an iterative process, you don’t have to resolve it in a day.

the words honestly are confusing. i can admit that. out of context “drag queen” would mean nothing to me either.

as i understand it, a drag queen is someone (usually a man?) who dresses up in flamboyant clothing of the opposite gender and takes on a character, like a stage identity, and everyone’s stage identity is individual to themselves. from what I’ve seen, the stories behind a stage identity are often as interesting as the costumes themselves, which can be very intricate and eye catching.

drag queen competitions can feature singing, dancing, showmanship, acrobatics, comedy, and are a good time, check one out if you get a chance.

Nope, just relatively. Though how do you want to define consciousness could change my nope to a yes. It’s all about the definition.

All I can see when I read this comment is a plaque to blind confidence. Don’t take it the wrong way, I don’t mean it as a wholly a bad thing… maybe 90% bad, 10% admiration. Confidence is powerful, but it works best when paired with other traits.

…but back to the thread, unless you’re involved in this topic at an academic level, can you explain the reasoning behind the confidence you appear to have in your perspective?

Another one bites the dust.

I admit it, I once assumed Elon was a genius.
(events happen)
Okay, not a genius, but a good businessman.
(events happen)
Okay, a bad businessman, a good PR person.
(events happen)
Okay, a bad PR person, but not a Nazi.
(events happen)
Well fuck, he’s a Nazi supporting conspiracy theorist.

God damn, if I was that wrong about one person. I’m just gonna stop having opinions about famous people. It’s all smoke and mirrors.

Yeah! I want to live a lifetime of suffering and pain so that no illegals get shelter and no children get food! Disgusting! Republican Jesus woulda shot those immigrants and fed those kids to the lions.

Don’t tell me about no Bible, I haven’t read a book since I was 7 and I ain’t about to start now. Fox News is the one source of truth!

Immigrants are the enemy! Billionaires are friends. Just like it says on the TV channel that the billionaire owns! It has to be true! I’m stupid btw.

I did not know that, thank you.

“Everyone disagrees with me, that is insane because I am clearly smarter than them all. Why won’t all you idiot people agree with me?!”

All of your comments in one reductive nutshell.

You seem to have low self-awareness. Do you happen to be autistic?

Keep in mind this is an undercount of Palestinian death.
I’ve heard counts well over 100,000.
Keep in mind that 67,000 of those deaths are women and children.

If that is their contribution to the world, Israel deserves no allies. Disarm them. Alienate them. Embargo them. Let them know what it’s like to go at it alone.

For similar series, I recommend Burnout and Flatout. See my comment in this thread for elaboration.

Career wise I think Burnout : Paradise City is the most fun of the games I mentioned because you have to go around the city finding hidden jumps, hunting cars roaming the city (when you catch them (by crashing them, of course) you get to drive them), and beating time trials that create unique opportunities to fly through the air and blast through traffic, ideally crashing your opponents into them… anyway, I love the genre, hope you find your game!

I adore the Wreckfest game. I played it, beat it, lost my save and was happy because I got to play it again. I think I’ve done that three times.

If you are like me and would like another game in this genre, try “Flatout Ultimate Carnage Collectors Edition”, personally I find the crashing (as well as the racing) in FUCCE to be more satisfying than Wreckfest but both games are a must have for fans of the genre.

The only thing that Wreckfest probably does better is that it feels good on a racing wheel, I’ve never played Flatout on a wheek so I can’t comment on that. Both are fine with a Steam, Xbox controller, or third party controller.

For the record many of the Flatout games are great, I just happen to think that FUCCE is the pinnacle. I would love to be wrong and find a better game so please feel free to share suggestions.

And for a more open world style game with collecting cars, crashing them, and causing carnage as the core theme (you still can’t get out of your car) try Burnout : Paradise City, amazing soundtrack too.

Some of these games have quite unique game modes, the “High Jump” and “Long Jump” in FUCCE is a dumb as hell game and great for having friends compete on the couch.

Burnout has a mode where you have to incrementally take out X opponents before time runs out, X increasing as difficulty rises. And every time you take someone out you get boost so on a perfect run you’re just exploding everyone at light speed lol. Then BAM WALL FUCK. Lol. That’s the game.

And for a final unique game mode, the old Burnout games (not BPD unfortunately) had a mode where you intentionally caused maximum damage per time limit. It was hilarious throwing the car into traffic then dancing it around the city causing hundreds of thousands of damage in a scene so stupid it would have been cut from Final Destination. I think Burnout 1, 2, and 3 had it…

As long as the jackass doesn’t sell, they’re solid.

I had a roommate who invested, when his stuff went down more than 5% he’d sell it, “Don’t wanna be too risky,” he’d say, unaware that he was breaking the cardinal rule of investing…

Then, “Omg it’s up again, I better buy high before it goes higher!” then repeat pattern A again.

Moral of the story, if you actually believe in a stock, unrealized losses are not something to react to. Or do, and become a warning tale told to others, ha. Them -5% hits add up QUICK.
