  • It definitely depends. It’s also hard to tell. My most straight-laced friends from college did acid at least once if not more, and there is a friend or two of mine that I would swear on my life experimented with drugs if I didn’t know better.

    That’s something people don’t really acknowledge about drugs. The actual rate of hard abuse or like injuries/death is relatively low. It’s like driving a car, it’s one of the most common causes of death but the actual chance is so low that you don’t really think about that every time you hop in one. Similarly, a lot more people have done drugs (at least once) than you would expect. It’s just if you only take acid once there’s an overwhelming chance that it won’t have any long-term effects (except for the epiphany that there’s a wider world out there than just our every day perception lol)

    Then again, it varies wildly by region so there’s a fine chance that it really isn’t as popular around you.




  • No there’s a literal cult that believes if you don’t pour all your money and effort into creating an AI overlord then once it’s created it will torture everyone that didn’t help create it. This is the explicit reason why many silicon valley douches like Peter Thiel are spending all their effort on making AI. It’s as batshit stupid as it sounds.



  • The reason I’m not crazy worried about steam, and I don’t even think it’s a monopoly per-se (although I’m not referring to any definition, just a vibe) is that steam has a lot of the “market share” of video game purchases, sure, but if steam shut down tomorrow, or did something heinous enough to warrant a boycott, I am able to move. The epic games store and GoG both exist at the very least.

    It would be a pain for me because I have a lot of money poured into steam, but not for anyone just getting into gaming who doesn’t have cache with steam. I didn’t pour it into steam because it was the only place for me to go, it was the best place for me to go. Idk, a big difference in Steam’s “monopoly” is that they don’t own a scarce physical commodity like oil or land, and they don’t have anything exclusive except maybe Valve games. Also unlike a monopoly there are many similarly functional competitors easily accessible on the Internet that offer an almost identical service.

    Steam “locks you in” to their ecosystem. But only for each individual game you choose to buy on their platform. If you didn’t want to hitch all your games to Steam for fear that they shut down or break bad Steam does not mind if you install GoG and buy physical copies of games to diversify your portfolio so to speak.



  • I’m pretty sure the implied “punchline” is that he pisses in her mouth at home, so they would do it in public so that he gets experience pissing away from home.

    It doesn’t make a lot of sense. I guess a non-horny version of the joke with the same punchline would be if she brought their entire toilet from home and asked him to go in their home toilet out in public?


  • From what I’ve seen. The love now is a reaction to the initial hate. When violet08 started posting I remember most of the responses were “what is this horny shit doing all over my timeline?” and when they wouldn’t let up people started to see them as an icon.

    Now that they’ve deleted their account and came back of course people are going to be hyping up the prodigal son even more ironically than usual.
