Sounds like a libertarian paradise. Be extremely comfortable as long as you’re part of a certain 5% of the population.

Intoxication? Do they mean indoctrination?

I should amend: if you’re there wilingly, it’s relatively progressive.

For the Middle East, it’s relatively progressive, from what I understand. That being said, that’s a low low bar.

Funko partners with every Youtuber and semi-public figure under the sun to make figurines of them so they can then sell them to their (usually underage) audiences. That’s the comparison I was making.

The difference between wiping a dry asshole with shit on it and wiping a wet asshole with some shit and some shit water on it is why a bidet is worth it.

They’re like the action figure version of Roblox.

I don’t know about truly NSFW, but I’ve known a few firehouses whose crew pose for calendar pictures and then use the proceeds for a party or expenses. Maybe call your local fire station?

What the hell, that sounds like an amazing day.

Excellent to know, thank you. I definitely have a few feet of clearance, and the water line for the outdoor spigot is right there as well, so it’s kind of ideal.

Curiosity: how much room does one take up? I would love to have one, especially for the winter, but there is 0 room in my utility closet.

The Fraternal Order of Police would like a word.

SteamDB says Rimworld, but I’m almost certain it’s actually Fallout: NV, as the Nexus launcher at one point bypassed Steam and so those hours aren’t represented. I have about 1100 hours in Rimworld, but probably closer to 3000 in Fallouts 3 and NV.

Lol I somehow completely forgot about Guild Wars 2. Pretty sure my age in that game is over 2 years of active playtime.

When I was in my 20s, the only people I met who were at least somewhat well-adjusted were those who had either worked through college or participated in something like the Peace Corps. Big big fan of mandatory civil service, especially as an option for those who don’t know what they want to do with their lives yet.

I am absolutely in favor of some sort of civil service or CCC-revival in the US. I’m so fucking tired of how anti-social and disrespectful of others Americans are, and it seems like Covid has only accelerated that.

Honestly, being willing to jump to a new platform is possibly the most effective way to stop platforms from fucking you over too hard.

And most importantly - there isn’t millions of dollars spent to market it to people. You have to go out of your way to learn about Mastodon or federation in general, and as you say, their reputations precede them.
