Home is where the heart is! So your real home's in your chest!

We rarely have other viable options. Long before most of us were born, the U.S. built an infrastructure centered around cars, sidelining other forms of transportation.

In America, owning a car is often the key to freedom of movement. So it's no surprise people equate cars with freedom. Getting people to see how car dependency actually limits our freedom is like trying to wake someone from the Matrix.

I think there’s a broader spectrum of jealousy than just “none at all” and “I’ll fight anyone who looks at my partner.” A little jealousy is normal, even in healthy relationships. We’re all human, after all.

Giving anon the benefit of the doubt, I’d guess they were hoping for just a healthy dose of jealousy. You know, as a treat.

Nah, I agree with you. While it definitely has a “teen romance drama” vibe, anon’s list just boils down to “I want to be loved” (and who doesn’t?). Sure, it might not be realistic, and it could be unhealthy if those are the expectations they hold for a real partner 24/7. But as a daydream? We’ve all had those dramatic, impractical fantasies. Entire media franchises are built on this kind of wish fulfillment, and plenty of people who enjoy them still have perfectly healthy relationships.

I get you. Because I as a citizen of the world hold you personally accountable for Trump. Afterall, you as a human let your country let America do this. You should be ashamed.

Your country yielded power to America, spending years allowing America to police the world, and dictate international trade. You can say you didn't want this, but you did want it, and you got it.

You are under the assumption the scientists listened to the bean counters. I on the otherhand think it's more likely that any (mad) scientist who could make dinofrogs via genetic manipulation would intentionally splice the ability to self-transition into their creation.

"Demand I make my dinofrogs infertile will you!? I'll show you... I'll show all of you!!!"

Your boos mean nothing, I've seen what makes you cheer.

Wait, I thought you were only able to tag out or were forced to swap on death. Did me and my brother spend all that time taking turns when it was actually true co-op!? (Tbf, I was always Donkey, so this is more of a "him problem", but still!)

I was actually thinking places like Humble, or often times I just go straight to the publisher or Dev, since they keep 100% of their profit that way and often offer a discount.

I have never used G2A, nor any site that redistributes keys in that manner.

But in the month it took you to respond, I already read up on this, and honestly you exaggerated your claims to the extent that I'm not really interested in asking your opinion anymore anyway. Your hate boner kinda showed through.

So I guess... uh... thanks for following up anyway and have a good one!

I'm sure there are folks who fall under that umbrella. But I was more responding in the context of this specific comment thread.

Per the article you posted (interesting read BTW!)

With digital hoarding, however, the act of saving the file becomes an uncontrollable urge.

“It means that they’ve lost the choice — they feel they have to save it. If they do not, they may feel uncomfortable and, more often than not, anxious that they may need to have access to the information and it’s not going to be there,” he says.

I'm not sure "picking up some games you might want to play when they are on an extremely good sale" qualifies as Digital Hoarding, per the definition.

 

Turns out my Emotional support Windows installation was just a crutch. But lo and behold, through the power of FOSS I am set free!
