I agree with a lot of what others have to say but what makes me upset is how no one gives a shit about it. People will pay lip service to the idea of loosening these norms but the vast majority of people still expect it. Even among more progressive people, they won't make you a pariah but they'll still treat you differently. It's just like everyone agrees that women should be allowed to have both a career and children. But in practice the woman is expected to take on the burden of childcare. People can say that men should allowed to be emotional but if they catch you crying then you're forever something different in their eyes.

I've talked with a lot of my friends and I genuinely believe a lot of men are aware of how toxic these behaviors are. But the second they get in front of their partners they're back to that cold, confident mask. Most young men understand it's bullshit but they see it as a requirement for relationships and societal respect. While there are always exceptions, I wouldn't say they're wrong.

Already switched to Debian on my laptop. Once I learn it enough I'll switch my desktop as well and never look back.

I might pirate Windows 11 for games on the off chance a game isn't supported but I'd probably just drop the game ngl.

30% evasion is nothing tbh, especially if you're in late game. You need at least 50%, more if you don't have cloaking. You could also invest heavily in drone defense if you don't like evasion.

Even 8/8 hits at a 30% evasion rate comes out to a probability of ~5%. One in every 20 encounters would have that kind of luck.

Skill issue honestly.

Not a spice but dry it and add a bit of liquid smoke if you want to replicate a ham/bacon flavor.

Just get a waifu pillow and stop caring about whatever theoretical ladies (who may or may not also be in to it) will think. If you have to, just get a muscle man and claim it's """"""""ironic""""""""" even though you secretly imagine you're cuddling with Misato for Evangelion.

Hating their personality but still feeling the same familial obligation that you do to your parents even though it doesn't make sense.

Wrong video, you have to watch this one instead.

The point of not listening to rules and norms is so you can pass actual policy, not get your dumbfuck son out of trouble.

Also, as much as I hate Trump, not even he did this kind of shit yet. Most of his nepotism pardons were for people who already served their jail time. He never did it (as far as I know) to help someone avoid jail time. Now Trump could unironically pardon his family for a crime they committed before they see a day in jail and that wouldn't even be defying the norms set by Back to Democracy Biden.

Democrats do not want actual policy passed, they just want the same "Fuck you" that Republicans get when they violate the rules. They have become in word and slightly less atrocious deeds, Blue Maga.

I walked up to a front porch with a bunch of kitties on that I pass by regularly. There were 4 cats and a possum just chilling in the cool autumn air. At least until my approach woke up the cats which then proceeded to chase the possum away.

I just wanted to pet the cats. kitty-cri-screm
