Doesn’t matter. Green Mario is perfect. Working class, deals with literal shit daily, is scared of everything, and still does the thing. Red Mario has it easy, he’s not scared of CEO Bowser, he doesn’t have to overcome his fear - because he’s confident. Which is cool, good for him. But Red Mario is unachievable as a role model. Be more like Green Mario who does it scared, who does it alone, who does it anyway.
Yes. And I’m tired of pretending otherwise.
What does that entail?
So did I exist before? Am I effectively offing myself? There’s too many unknowns here.
Depends. What’s the alternative?
Huel. I’m just waiting for some random internet person doctor to tell me how exactly I’m making my already shaky health significantly worse because I’m too lazy tired for anything more than powder in water.
Also, the decades-old radiator in my flat is probably just spewing all sorts of hazardous particles and nobody will know until they do an autopsy on me.
Because spez was being a dip shit. Other than that, yeah, idklol
I’ve used it once to suggest a specific term that I’m going to use in my comic. I was utterly incapable of formulating a conventional search query for a search engine so, after endlessly browsing various thesauri, in the end I resorted to asking perplexity ai. Still took a bit and I had to fight it to get it to understand what I was asking but I did eventually find a term that fits. Felt dirty afterwards. Does that count as “productive”?
The only other thing was the title of a book I read 30 years ago and had only vague memory of. So I gave it an approximate description including a plot point I thought I remembered. The first result it gave me wasn’t it. But it claimed the plot involved the thing I remembered. I then asked again and the second result actually was the correct book - turns out I had almost completely misremembered the plot point but it still said “yep, this happens in this book”. Very weird experience.
How is a torrent client an alternative to a download manager?
Depends on context. A serious illness, a serious conversation, a serious movie all look different.
Or am I misunderstanding?
Sure. And depending on the circumstances the conditions might not make you look like a very nice person. Which you are of course free to ignore.
The problem is that you are convinced they’re going to buy drugs. You do not know that person, it is not your place to decide that.
No, I do not agree that simply offering help is patronising.
Giving another person money usually implies the transfer of ownership of that money to that other person, unless otherwise specified.
If you’re already standing in front of a food cart, I suppose.
The point is to help this person temporarily alleviate a problem they have, whatever that problem may be. If you don’t want to do this, fine, but if you’re only willing to give money if they use that money in ways that you deem wholesome, that’s patronising.
If my relative wants to gamble with the 2 Currency that I’ve given them, okay then.
And? That’s not the point.
Who are you to decide what they’re allowed to buy? You’d rather have someone go hungry on the off chance they might buy something you don’t agree with?
Because claps are the only currency accepted on the secret market where medical workers buy their groceries.
