thanks for the blanking. Seeing this go around elsewhere, wild how its still cool to openly shit on ND people

I don't really care for the beyond meat type stuff. I'd take a portobello cap over it. But my fav would be a blackbeat/mushroom burger.

This just in: An artist has released |media| that is |controversial|, sexual style

Please, click and share this controversy

Less cynically, good for her. I don't care about her or her music (I'm very picky with my musical tastes), but like, get that bread

my primary problem with bg3 is I just hate all these fuckers. deeply unlikable cast of companions.

The profound alienation our society inflicts hurts everyone. Shouldn't be surprising the cruelty and exploitation shown to the the psychotic in particular, but somehow it always is. I'm sure its said by a lot of minorities, but it feels at times like we're one of the few that its still seen as 'okay' to dunk on, even in 'leftist' spaces (luckily, the Hexxed Bear has been pretty good about this).

his-and-hers sinks give big 'wife bad' energy. Everyone I know who wants them is a guy who complains about how much space his wife's make-up and hair products take up. (source: I've spend a fair bit of time working in custom home construction) The stuff rich people prioritize for their houses is nuts to me.

I feel like its everywhere. Like, scrolling other social media, there's just, constant thirst traps, horny ass art, conversation topics that are thirsty as hell. Photos with just, a girl doing cosplay or another hobby are full of people harassing her.

Some of the above things are 'fine', others aren't. Like, idk if people want to post and discuss their fetish art. But its all very gross to me, and I want to stay far away from it. I don't have any desire to talk about sexual content with anyone other than my partner.

Maybe this is judging by its cover, but Alan Wake 1 and 2 both seem, not my speed? They seem very 'cinematic', in a way I don't like. Emphasis on cutscenes, acting, campiness, etc. Which like, aren't objectively bad qualities, but I just don't like 'movie-like' content myself, idk why, but it doesn't work for me.

I had heard so many good things about Control, and was left very disappointed.

Mostly from a gameplay side; I found the 'shooting' boring, to the point of killing all fun and momentum the game had for me. Not even on a 'difficulty' front, its just the constant waves of pissants everywhere you go all the time sucks.

The story was 'cool', in that it had vibes, and some of the side content was great (like the Doctor Darling tapes and such). The actual writing/plot was pretty basic videogame stuff, which is to say fine in the context of 'games' and bad in the context of 'all writing'.

Overall, I did not finish, making it like halfway through I think? Before just watching the rest of the cutscenes on youtube. Which, I suppose, me feeling compelled to do even that is a point in its favor, that I was invested enough to want to know.

Disagree, that's not what hard science means, nor can it be isolated in such a way for a lot of people.

I don't agree.

Your second paragraph is true, yes. Though, I'd frame it more around 'health' than 'weight'. I'm not saying 'weight' has no impact on health, but the health is the important part of the equation to focus on (and, even there, 'health' can be a dog-whistle for fatphobia sometimes). It's that focus of 'fat=bad' that is the 'concern trolling'. You don't need to 'fix fatness', you need to fix all those other problems.

Its not a 'poisoned well' if someone is telling people their weight needs to be fixed pisses people off (even if it's framed as not their fault!), and it is understandable that others find such comments to read as concern trolling.

That's so vague to be useless though. Many people that struggle to lose weight, the 'problem' isn't the physics of it. It's the mental aspects, of appetite and craving, and the socioeconomic aspects, of time, money, attention, what food is available at what distance, price, and effort.

And, when eating fewer calories can make their bodies go into 'starvation mode', burning fewer baseline calories and making any physical exertion exhausting if not impossible, it is insulting to say 'CICO!'
