I don’t disagree, but there’s a 18+ / NSFW checkbox for posts like this.

Dad wolf “The boy ain’t right.” and as someone who’s part of the human race that loves to destroy each other while also destroying the planet even faster… dad’s probably correct.

Yep to all of those, even though Youtube Premium is actually pretty good if you use it a lot and watch the old TV shows and movies they have on there.

Now Raid Shadow Legends: they annoyed me so much with their spam that I went out of my way not to play it. Plus, when somebody spams that much it just screams “I totally suck, so I’m overcompensating”.

Man, this rule has big “you pervert” energy.

I also have the F310, and have had the same experiences as you. In addition to everything you said, the triggers are stiff and uncomfortable too. The only good things about it are that it’s durable and that you can swap the d-pad and left thumbstick with a button press, and there’s a d-input mode too.

The similarly priced 8bitdo Ultimate Controller (and probably the Pro2) is MUCH better and also has good customization software and a programmable autofire button. At least the non Xbox branded one does. Based on my experiences with the F310 I never wanted to risk buying the more expensive F710. Because the F310 with rumble + wireless capability doesn’t sound like a good deal to me.

I’d rather spend less on somebody I know actually makes good (or “good enough”) stuff, like PowerA or 8bitdo.

Well, don’t you?

When step 2 intersects with capitalism, all the other stuff just naturally follows. Sure there are people who legitimately want to help people (read an article about 2 Christians giving up their high paying jobs to spend their time making affordable housing for the poor and indigenous people) but they’re increasingly becoming the minority.

That said, money based religions are only one oppressive group that bands together for profit and control. Religions aren’t much different than political parties (hence the smashup between many) and corporations, organized crime, etc.

Human nature, rather than being inherently good, tends to be inherently bad. Hence why most giant groups tend to be oppressive by nature. It’s why I believe that there shouldn’t be giant concentrations of wealth and power.

Other people have made good points, but one I’ve noticed is that there’s no advertising or profit motive (so far) and there’s also no leadership that encourages dark patterns like increasing negative engagement through encouraging stuff like doomscrolling or starting or continuing arguments.

I’m on Kbin, and I like how by default all the notifications are turned off. So people aren’t automatically told to respond to every little thing they participate in. If they really care, they have to manually go back on check on things they wrote about or were engaged in. Makes it less likely that people will argue endlessly, lowering the quality of posts and replies, and derailing them with long subthreads of off topic discussions or arguments.

I don’t want to get a protractor out to measure the angle, but it kind of feels like that’s not quite 45 degrees. I didn’t get the joke at first until I realized it was a math joke. Like the ones that one “funny” math teacher in school used to make. To be fair, most of the “funny” math teachers I had actually were pretty funny, though.

She’s 90% there, but forgot the camo facepaint makeup and something to cover her hair. I don’t know how they do it now, but camo paint used to come in a make up style compact back when I went through basic. We made “Cover Girl” jokes about it and stuff.

I don’t get it, who’s jeff the kill? Also, will Youtube copyright strike me if I mention him without paying?
