  • Right and I get that, and I’m not saying that’s a bad idea, but again I just get a really bad taste in my mouth for policies that aim to save people from themselves. It just feels like the government being a parent instead of a service of the people. Secondly, it doesn’t really fix the root of the problem, which doesn’t always have to be the goal in policies obviously, but reluctantly making people make decisions with higher prices. Where should the government stop then in using higher taxes to get us to do what it wants?

    Again, I’m torn on this because it may be the correct thing to do to cut down sugar consumption, but I hate the precedent it creates.

    My grandpa would just set the old oil filters when he would change the oil in the 3 farm tractors he owned. He did that for years and 30 years later that spot is still like blacktop. At least it’s only a 2’x2’ spot but I couldn’t imagine if he dumped the actual oil. And that’s only 3 diesel tractors twice a year.

    The thought that shops were doing it for years is sad







  • You feel that? You feel it slipping?

    When you have to be this hands on with your site, manipulating it, it just means your circling the drain… slowly working your way down.

    It’s going to get exhausting putting out these little fires constantly. If only they had a group of people that would happily do the moderation for them… for free.

    But why even acknowledge it if you’re just going to lie about it. Cringe.



  • Right. One of the best things about Diablo 1 and 2 to me were being able to grind a bit, and noticing how much stronger you were after you leveled a few times. I remember my first play through in Diablo 1 I got my ass beat in Act 4… so I went back and reran Act 3 portions and leveled a few times which helped a lot.

    Your character never feels stronger, and you don’t really get rewarded much for leveling in D4… because you make everything else stronger too when you level. So that’s a big bummer for me, even though I was excited about at first


  • I see that those people will eventually move to another platform and it will be there.

    Yeah, it’s surely a loss in the short term. Just makes me sick to think about Huffman getting rich off the content so many others created and moderated. Reddit hasn’t even done a very good job creating a good platform. The just bought out Alien Blue and have made that shittier ever since. Same with old Reddit, it was so good because it was simple yet effective, and they’ve slowly been destroying that for some time.

    Monetizing ruined a great thing and they shouldn’t benefit from that.

    THEY ruined Reddit and a good thing. Had they not done that, all the content and users would be there. They’d still be making money. They just want more and have been compromising the product on their end and have been held up
