Yes. Well, it depends on the game. A lot of games know that their users will use the Steam forums to complain or ask questions so they'll attend them in a formal manner. Others are just chaotic cesspools that are completely ignored by the developers/publishers.

The Steam forums really are kinda garbage but I don't think it's because of lack of moderation. It's because they're the most minimal interface with no good search function, no good way to figure out what's changed, and it's missing zillions of other features that exist in modern forums.

I'd agree with you but your post is way too long! Uuuuugh! I almost burned a whole calorie writing this reply!

Kind of like how there's taste buds in our lungs.

Mace better be careful: The very same thinking she's spouting thinks that women who won't or can't have children for any reason are lesser women. It's the same reasoning: That women serve a very specific biological purpose and any other position--such as being elected to Congress(!)--is an affront to God/nature.

Oops: Forgot that "multiply by 100" step haha. I'll fix it 👍

$500 billion in federal spending cuts.

defunding organizations like Planned Parenthood and public broadcasting

  • Planned Parenthood received about $148 million in 2021 and much of that was for providing COVID-19 vaccinations. No idea how much they're getting right now but I know it's less.
  • The Corporation for Public Broadcasting has a budget of $535 million for 2025.

If they cut both entirely that's 0.14% of that $500 billion in cuts they're promising.

There's an even more basic premise at work here that has nothing to do with LGBTQ matters: Entrusting your children with church people gets them abused. Not 100% of the time but it drastically increases the odds.

Doesn't matter what church, denomination, etc. It's a universal rule that's been around for thousands of years across many different religions. Allow people with no qualifications and designs for power to become authorities and you have a recipe for abuse.

For those that don't know, this is one popular way of laundering money.

The other is real estate (which is how Trump made his comeback from early business failures).

Where I come from we call these, "up only" stairs. Kind of like how Perl is a write-only language.

I was going to say... Sure would be nice to have this feature in all the open source AI image generator tools but you're absolutely right 😩

Is there such a thing as a conservative sociologist? Does that even exist? It sounds like a myth, like a conservative professor of ethics (not a self-described "professor of ethics" 🤣)

 
 

Electoral College elects The President. No other type of election works like that.

I've heard this phrase used often by those on the right but every time I hear it I can't help but laugh because of what I picture in my head. But perhaps my image is wrong! I want to read everyone else's depictions.

So as to not influence the responses I will not be sharing what I imagine a "woke mob" looks like.

Something tells me it's not anime's depictions of trucks that's making people re-think becoming truckers (hint: it's the terrible hours and inadequate pay).

This is the page you can learn about things like Cunningham's law which states that every program attempts to expand until it can read mail

If you watch movies and TV shows you should learn about this to maximize your obscure knowledge of every day things 👍
