  • You're talking about the paradox of tolerance, which isn't a paradox and isn't relevant here.

    You said games should be about having fun, and then immediately proceeded to proscribe one kind of fun by baselessly denigrating the people who enjoy the challenge of a difficult game.

    Some perspective for you: RimWorld is single player. There are no toxic behaviours to block, except the very ones you're complaining about and perpetrating here like gatekeeping.

    Or just wilfully ignore me and strawman me, whatever, it's the internet so most likely that one 🤷‍♀️

  • It's an anxiety thing; the actual name is "rejection sensitivity dysphoria": https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/24099-rejection-sensitive-dysphoria-rsd

    A lot of AuDHD people suffer it. Great example, I started a business and I've gotten 99% positive feedback on the product from dozens of people, but a handful of negative comments and two of my best friends didn't like it, and I've actually considered giving up entirely because of that.

    Which is insane. I love my product, I'm very happy with it... but my buddies not liking it makes me very sad on a whole bunch of levels.

    Also I did delete my old account and comments, precisely because as MagicShel said above: it had existed long enough to be a liability. It's not as big a deal here as on Reddit though, you can export your preferences and get back to the same subscriptions and blocks very easily on any new account!

  • Is this multivitamin legit?

  • If you're seriously asking, there's not even a brand name visible, let alone an ingredient list.

  • Agree completely, these shenanigans are a big reason I'm on a selfhosting rampage at the minute. Speaking of, does anyone have favourite self-hosted alternatives?

    If every school shooter in America targeted an Epstein client pedo instead, the problem would be fixed in a few years...

  • With the number of school shootings here, I think it'd only take weeks.

  • Explain just what the hell you think "on-site and by hand" means, please.

  • I get along with every coworker but 2 out of 14, manager is somebody who sabotaged me in the past. To even consider working there again is such a stupid idea, isn’t it?

  • She's gonna have power over your employment; if you don't trust her not to use that to fuck with you (and it sounds like you can't), don't go work there. You'll be able to find a position elsewhere.

  • Amazon BUSTED for Widespread Scheme to Inflate Prices Across the Economy— Amazon, its vendors, and competing retailers are price fixing, hiking up prices for consumer products, making Amazon richer

  • I'm always a little shocked when people ask me if my product is on Amazon. I never even considered it because I've known what they are for so long; it's been a bit of a wakeup call that most people still have no idea how fucking awful Amazon is. It sucks struggling with market visibility, selling just from my own website, but it beats the hell out of being bullied like this until I'm big enough to have my product stolen and copied by Amazon Basics.

  • I said

    For most of my lifetime, date breaches had to be carried out on-site and by hand.

    Explain how that means only "emails and USB jump drives". That might be hard, because it doesn't.

    As well, you might be thinking of the Black Monday stock market crash, because I don't remember any high-profile hack to exfiltrate data from the Dow Jones. Amongst the only early remote data breaches I am aware of is the German guys who got into the DoD's network and sold the data to the KGB, in the mid-80s, because it was only the military and some universities who had the internet back then.

    Remote data breaches have only really been a thing since the 2000s, because like I said, computers were less common and the internet was almost non-existent before that point. The spread of both computers and the internet made it a lot easier. If you're having trouble with the maths, that means I don't in fact have to be "well over 80 years old".

  • This is not intended as an excuse for corporate laziness by any means, but: For most of my lifetime, data breaches had to be carried out by on-site and by hand. The advent of computers, and then the internet, made this crap a lot easier. So, y'know, it's a pretty short timeline relative to a human lifespan to be having data breaches in the first place.

  • The 95% ethanol you can get at the store is typically methylated, so it will make you sick or kill you to drink it. I think that has to do with the alcohol lobby.

    But anyway, it is possible to buy up to 100% pure anhydrous ethanol, it's just a specialty item and illegal in some states like California. Probably easier to make it, if you have time on your side.
