I was meant to comment on the comment you commented on, not on your comment

New Zealand definitely has western influence, but at least we have MMP voting instead of First Past the Post, so we don’t have as strong of a two-party system. We also have a cost of living crisis but so does every western country. Our generally reasonable politics is one of the reasons why I’m not interested in moving to another country when so many of my friends are moving to Australia or the UK for higher salaries

It also doesn’t have an algorithm, which would make it difficult to find content you want when there are loads of creators

Why complain on Steam? If I remember correctly, League of Legends is downloaded through its own installer and it’s completely separate to Steam

My jaw.

That sounds really frustrating. Some people don’t think about (or actively ignore) how their actions affect others. Sounds like you’re making a good decision for yourself to no longer live with him

That’s a great idea. And you get more content!

Fear is the mind-killer

Yeah I wasn’t fast enough and I also tried to contact their support and such. Oh well

Years ago, I bought headphones that were ¼ of the price of the big name Bose and Sony’s and provided at least ¾ the experience. When I wore them so much they eventually broke years later, I purchased some more from their website. Turns out they have been taking orders and haven’t been delivering products. Their Facebook page still posts ads and the comments are people talking about how it was a scam. That’s $170 dollars I won’t get back. It’s weird because I really liked their product and had no reason to think they would suddenly stop delivering. Very strange.

Brand is Cowin, by the way.

Yeah it’s tricky. Using “female” as a noun in a non-biological context is often used by incels and misogynists in order to dehumanise women. Whereas there isn’t the same trend of certain groups using “male” to dehumanise men, or at least I’ve never heard of it happening in real life.

In a vacuum, both would be the same, but because there is a much larger trend of using “female” to dehumanise women than using “male” to dehumanise men, it’s not a true double-standard.

And as long as you’re not being a dick, especially if English isn’t your native language, then people will know what you mean. But if you are consciously trying to make an effort, then don’t use “female” and “male” as nouns to refer to someone’s gender.

Yep, it’s got the normal scrub daddy scrubbing material on one side and a sponge on the other. Pretty good

Yeah that’s very not cool

This is why I have so many of these on my backlog, just don’t have the time currently

Thank you for taking the time to write this up. It’s very inspiring and I have some ideas to try

Toyotas are dependable

I find it tricky to just meet people with no shared topic to discuss, like at parties. I love clubs because everyone is there for a shared reason, whether it be board games, video games, a sport, a craft, etc. This means there’s always something to talk about when breaking the ice and I find that much more comfortable. Highly recommend clubs

Cheat code for Imgflip that removes the watermark:

When the meme is created, don’t click “Generate image.” Instead, right click on the preview image and copy to clipboard. When you paste, it will retain the added text but not add the watermark

Learning from others’ mistakes is real. I’ve learned a lot from my dad that way—I say that I’ve learned to so basically the opposite of what my dad does
