I would rather keep up on the news that I think matters to me than the news in general. People seem to just love reporting the exact same things. I used to have frequented r/news to note this.
Lots of news about dead people, dead children .etc that sparks a lot of age-old debates.
Occasionally some celebrity dies, some small, some big.
Political follow-ups that ultimately just lead to arguments.
I tend to also like getting news a little after the fact. It helps the digesting and processing in a sense.
When you're too focused on staring at people's assets in public or anywhere. As a struggling porn addict, I have a bad habit where I am gazing or catching glimpses of asses and chest areas of women around public and at work.
When you're doing that - then it's too much.
I almost don't want to. If you can't handle honesty, truths or straightforward and shoot-straight kind of opinions. Then engaging in communication is simply not for you and nobody should have to walk on eggshells all of the time to appease someone's incapable sense of getting the point.
Anytime I enter one with a purist/gatekeeper. You just can't reason with them and they absolutely refuse to see the other side of the argument. They must always believe that their direction is the direction for all things regarding X fandoms or general hobby.
Getting dogpiled by assholes from the Steam Community because I made a post suggesting we get rid of the Jester award. I suggested it because the Jester award has been used as nothing but a badge from trolls who think honest reviews of games are a joke. I've had nearly 150+ of my reviews just bombarded with marks of 'X people found this review funny' and half of them were slapped with that stupid Jester badge.
Furthermore, I was gaslighted and antagonized both through DMs and openly on the forums to the point where I am now permanently banned from the Steam Forums in the general Steam community. I have no faith in Valve's sluggish ways that they'll deal with the sheer toxicity of their own community anytime soon.
And I was openly doxxed on a gossip site when that same someone openly threatened to cost me my IRL job.
I've been online for 29 years now and by this point, I've dealt with so much shit from shitty people to the point where I almost see reality as purgatory. I cannot wait until I enter my self-imposed retirement when I reach 30 years because I've watched the internet drown in shit with bots, AI, corporate enshittification and more.
Shitty criminals shouldn't be protected, end of story.
Mike Rinder, one of Scientology’s loudest whistleblowers, dies at 69
In a statement written to be shared after he died, Rinder says his biggest regret is not "ending the abuses of Scientology."
Okay, lol. I don't think they're there to help FB, Instagram or WhatsApp but to get on Zuck's payroll. Whatever.
Would you alter your timeline?
I would, with mine.
My timeline is:
Born in '89 Toddler/Child in 90s Teenager in 00s' Young Adult in '10s Adult late '10s to present.
I'd want mine altered so that it'd be:
Born in '70 Toddler/Child in 70s Teenager in 80s Young Adult in 90s Adult in 00s'
And by now I'd probably be closing in on my 50s.
Next time an insurrection happens, just let it go. Let us see how much damage these lunatics can really do. Police, FBI have spent years gathering these psychopaths and for what? For all of them to be let go in one swift executive action? Psh, the politicians are on their own next time.
God, I wonder how many people got those and used them regularly who are now having issues because of them?
I believe it has a use.
Like, AI can make up roleplaying assets and what graphics needed to be made to translate what objects are and everything. Stuff like that.
But using it for art contests, for bigger projects and all? It makes you look lazy.
Yeah.
For example, does Microsoft deserve my money for how much of a dumping they've taken onto Windows since Windows 8? No, they don't.
Because if I did give Microsoft my money, I'm REWARDING them for their half-assery.
I'm over the politics of game launchers. Like, a free game is a free game, some devs/publishers probably get paid to get their game released for free. I've taken advantage of them, I wish I hadn't deleted one of my Epic games accounts before where I nearly had gotten every game that I actually had wanted that was given away for free. But I was naive because I got caught up in the stupid pissing contest between Steam fanboys and Epic fanboys.
Ultimately, it doesn't matter. Free is free. I would rather a free whole game, than a freemium game, which is all that Steam mostly offers.
All of trump supporters were single-voters who believed that Trump would solve all of their individual problems.
Some vote for him because they want the gays out.
Some vote for him because they want men empowered.
Some vote for him because they want immigrants deported.
Some vote for him because they just want job security.
And other things. They don't realize or care to realize that, he and the party he represents, have no ambition to change things for the better.
He would want to die again if he saw what Reddit turned into.
Considering how badly Eisner ran the company in the 2000s to whoever is running it now. How the company treated his brother and so on. How Disney don't really value hand-drawn animation to the point of firing all of them.
