(I copied this from my other comment, but it was very relevant to this one so I figured I’d say it here too.)

I do not mean to. I know its an issue and more attention needs to be brought to it because too many people—especially other men—don’t take it seriously at all and can even treat it as a good thing. I just don’t think now is the time to bring it up.

In a vacuum like that it sounds bad, yes. That wasn’t the entire context though. What I do think women raping men is irrelevant to is the topic of women being too afraid to give compliments to random men in fear of getting assaulted. Which is the whole reason rape was brought up in the first place.

Like, the other comment said I marginalized half the population. I do not mean to. I know its an issue and more attention needs to be brought to it because too many people—especially other men—don’t take it seriously at all and can even treat it as a good thing. I just don’t think now is the time to bring it up.

Completely unrelated but I just want to say you have a good taste in pokemon.

You’re not wrong! Also not super relevant here. This is like responding “all lives matter” to a black lives matter comment. Well, maybe not that bad, but I hope you get my point.

Yup, Skyrim is the big one for me too. I also fiddled with FO4 for a while, but nothing keeps me coming back like Skyrim… or at least, its nexus page. If I had an hour tracker on mod organizer 2, I’m sure I’d overtake my playtime in the actual game by at least 10x.

I also create private mod packs for my friends and I to play numerous games. Minecraft, Lethal Company, R.E.P.O., Risk of Rain 2, and more. Fortunately for those last three, I never really scrap my mod packs and instead build upon them constantly as new mods or updates come out. Which I do perhaps a little too much, because I get poked fun at for it now lol.

One thing I’ve come to appreciate is how detailed nexus mod pages tend to be compared to most other websites. Half the mods for games like Lethal Company or RoR2 don’t even have any pictures or detailed descriptions of what they do. I’ll hear about a really neat mod in the Lethal Company modding discord server and then check out its page just to see “adds a couple new items and enemies” and that’s the entire page.

Often, I will reread the same paragraph a dozen times because I either fail to comprehend it, or because I can’t help my mind from wandering. Sometimes my mind will wander to thinking about what might happen next, instead of just reading it.

If its a book or subject I’m really enjoying, this is a process I don’t mind and even like doing. It’s okay to just let your imagination run sometimes. But if it’s a boring book, or it’s something I’m totally uninterested in like required reading back in school, it’s miserable and I’ve never been able to do it.

Unfortunately this means I’m terrible at research unless it’s something I’m super interested in at the moment.

Doing this used to annoy me, but I’ve come to accept that the modding bit is just a hobby of mine. I enjoy the process of research, troubleshooting, and time spent finding, installing, and configuring mods. Then I’ll play the game for a bit, maybe complete the first quest or something, and then it will sit untouched for the next year before I eventually uninstall it for storage.

I did now, and it was much improved.

I believe you are far more likely to be killed by your home country than china in just about every case, simply by the fact that you live there and they have permanent access to you. By no means is it a great place, but china is not exactly out there sending hit men to take out some random Joe because of the videos they were watching.

Oh wow, Xbox 360 Minecraft. That just unlocked some childhood memories. I no longer have a 360, or I’d gladly be playing it too. I guess I could look into emulators instead.

I vaguely remember seeing mods for Java edition that exist to bring old nostalgic Minecraft elements like the whole Xbox 360 UI and the old janky ass world gen to modern versions. I really ought to look into them at some point.

Ah yes, classic “everyone but me is the problem”.

Overreaction of the century right there.

Yeah that’s fair

Try again with the word ‘arm’ in front.

I made the exact same mistake in my head before remembering the word nautical exists.

this thread

Hello, I am not this entire thread. I am only two, now three, comments in this thread. Do not blame me for the things other people have said.

Literally all I did was ask you for a single source to your claim which sounded very exaggerated to me, and you have since called me uneducated, unreasonable, irrational, maga, and an animal. Meanwhile I haven’t attacked you a single time.

Who’s the one arguing in bad faith again? Be serious.

And you expect me to what, educate you on basic neuroscience?

No, I expected you to give me literally a single source, which you said you have. That’s it. Shouldn’t be hard.

• asks for a source to a claim
• gets called maga
• ???

I’ll have you know I despise trump.

Oh, but since you brought up good faith. In response to simply asking for a source, you attacked my character, tried to gaslight me into thinking I’m in the wrong, and then tried to move the topic into private DMs so nobody else can see it and so you can look like the adult here. This wasn’t even a real offer though, because nobody is going to politely DM you after getting their character attacked out of nowhere like that.

The fact that you’re not willing to publicly show your source about the things you’re claiming in bold are empirical facts tells me that you don’t actually have a source, and are in fact the one not engaging in good faith.

Because 90% of humans are — and again, this is an empirical fact — incapable of moral deliberation.

90% of humans. Really. Do you have a source for this claim?

Stick around for a few more months and you’ll remember them no matter how hard you try to forget. They’re one of the most active users on Lemmy. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised to find out they are the most active commenter.
