Face lookup of contacts so I get reminded of people’s names.

Okay, I stop reading here. That’s fucking insane.

I can kind of understand because now with paying hundreds, if not thousands of dollars, for a ticket, I wouldn’t want to miss a single second of a concert

Shitting your pants, though?

What gets me so often in retro gaming is the desire of some to “repair” the past.

This would indicate the ‘hate’ is on ideological grounds.

I tend to agree, if I’m being honest. I sometimes see the retro modding community excited about improvements they’ve made: new models swapped in for characters, upscaled backgrounds with 10x the detail that was ever put into them, 4k textures stretched over low-poly objects like an animal wearing a skin suit. And these are called ‘better’. This is how new people are told to play these old games: we have added 4 cups of sugar to make the horrible taste easier to swallow.

I see this and I think… why? Why be this way?

Can you imagine if we raised new generations to treat paintings the same way? The Mona Lisa is not worth seeing because it is too old and ugly, but it can be made tolerable to one’s senses with the new power of AI?

This image is profane. It can only be produced by a sick people.

I worry that people’s desire for this kind of thing indicates a lack of curiosity in life. An unwillingness to do anything not already familiar to them. I would consider this attitude a character flaw in most people, if I met them.

Because the world is sick. I don’t know, what kind of answer are you looking for?

Lying by omission and lying by over-reaction (“histrionics”, but that word’s a bit nerdy) are definitely ones that ought to be added to Bible 3, which I heard~ is supposed to be a prequel—isn’t that fun?

Based on the small sample size of arguments I’ve personally had with proud theologians, I absolutely think this is true.

So are you paid by the comment or what?

There’s a social incentive.

My point exactly. :p

It’s been so many hours, so I don’t know if I really remember my purpose, but I think it was something like: can you get yourself into a headspace where making your bed seems like a pleasant thing to do?

'Cause I can, even though I don’t.

I don’t live in the 1600s, so it’s hard to imagine what consequences not making my own bed would have; and though I think they’re wrong, the unshowered yugioh player probably feels similarly. They’d have to be taught otherwise.

Hold your horses, there’s no need to get defensive.

I didn’t bring that up to suggest people should—I don’t—I’m just provoking a bit of thought.

You don’t see any similarities at all between making sure you’re shaved, showered, well-dressed, maybe perfumed a bit, before going outside; and making sure your bed is clean, well-kept, and presentable?

You probably don’t invite friends into your bedroom.

So let’s ask a similar question: do you clean your living room before inviting guests over? What is the purpose of that? There’s a good chance you care about it being clean more than they do, so why bother?

It is, yeah. It’s also what they believe. It’s sort of a sour grapes situation.

For most people, this kind of behavior is socialized out of them by the time they reach adulthood. But a lot of YuGiOh players, and players of other kinds, do not leave their house. To such a person, getting ready to go out requires maybe an hour or more of prep time, mostly because they don’t know what they’re doing, for what feels like 5 minutes of play at grocery store. They would think of this as superfluous and pointless.

A point of similarity I know will ruffle a few feathers: do you make your bed every day?

I would assume the incontinence is because he is incontinent and not because he doesn’t know how to sit down, but I’m not motivated enough to look it up.

I do get to, actually, through a little process called shame.

You want to be able to control everyone and force them to act the way you want them to act.

We already do this. You cannot murder, you can’t piss in public, a lot of states don’t allow open carry, you can be shooed off the premises for smoking in the wrong areas. And, you can’t pull your dick out. “Controlling” the way people act is actually absurdly common.

I’m asking you to keep your cock in your pants.

It is so fucked that in modern life I have to waste my time with conservatives trying to endlessly relitigate exactly what about being a pedophile is bad, and with tech fetishists exactly why being an asshole in public is wrong.

Spaceballs, if you’re standing somewhere over the grand canyon with your phone out, obviously filming a family of three that does not want to be filmed, what the fuck are you doing? Do you find joy in being an unlikeable loser? Do you often think you just aren’t lonely enough?

I don’t know what it is you want me to say to you. In my ideal world, Facebook wouldn’t be allowed to make this product in the first place.

This is like asking how we decide that your cock isn’t visible through your pants. Learn to be modest, I don’t know.

Hey! Stop putting ranch in your carry-ons! That ranch belongs in your checked bags only unless it’s under 3.5 ozs, or about 13.5 sucks worth. You’re allowed to suckle, but only a little bit.

By himself?

I came here to say this exact same thing! Thank you for saving me the trouble.

Cravings for Mexican food and for taco bell will not satisfy each other because they’re not the same thing.

!!
Wait, this is cool, I can learn

They don’t choose to, but they’re choosing not to now because they can’t afford it?

Poor people don’t have children?
