Responding for the sake of discussion. Also I’m stoned.

You’re comparing a moral dilemma and an ethical one. They are very different.

For the meat industry, how do we qualify a humane death? How do we qualify these animals as having a sense of self? What demographics might depend on that meat? How many businesses would crumble without it?

For piracy, who is the victim? Big artists, small artists, production companies, record labels, radio stations? Maybe it’s SAG-AFTRA?

Ultimately it doesn’t matter either way. There is someone out there who is violently upset that you are the way you are. Fuck the haters and do what you feel is right.

I’m right there with you.

Yesterday I was totally paralyzed with all of the things I need to do. Ended up cooking dinner and that was all. I’ve been on the job hunt for over a year now just trying to find something that brings a little light to my life, but it all seems so soul-crushing.

I’ve also been dependent on cannabis because it makes me feel… normal? Now my medical card has expired and I never used it illegally so I’m facing this dark tunnel alone and it’s overwhelming.

Though I was able to watch my neighbor’s dog and cat for 10 days earlier this month. It was strange to have living things depend on me again. My boy died about a year and a half ago and I’m still not over it. Isn’t this shit supposed to get easier with time?

We aren’t alone in feeling the way we do. Gods know I could use a hug; if you have family there soak up all the time you can get.

Let’s hope that soon we will crawl out of our personal hells and thrive.

Card for anything that could possibly be issue later on so I have protection. Cash for local businesses and my favorite chicken place that doesn’t take cards.

Discovered Car Mechanic Simulator and it’s so so so satisfying. I know (knew?) absolutely nothing about the mechanical systems of cars, but it just clicks.

3U is still my favorite MH. Don’t care what anyone says about the underwater combat. I loved it.

Western US here. We had a rope climb twice a year from 4th to 9th grade. I tried the first time and then refused every time after that.

Never did get any flak for it. Can only assume they knew it was dangerous and were happy to have kids skip it.

Still on the fence about buying a dock. How does JSAUX quality compare to valve?

I can’t imagine playing anything without the trackpads and my original steam controller has been lost in the void of moving.

Reeaally hoping they announce the steam controller 2 with square trackpads.

I’m using Memmy and neither of the links function properly for me lol.

If you like survival games, please give Grounded a shot. It’s a handcrafted map (the backyard) with full voice acting. I could honesty go on about it for hours because it’s still my main game, but don’t write it off because kids and bugs. It is Obsidian quality and plays excellently on the deck.
