  • Please, before he’s executed or dies. My soul needs him to experience the opposite of everything he loves. Having that fact finally put to rest so that (the least-deluded cultists anyway- face it we all know that the cult will just say “fake news” to any credible evidence that points to him doing anything bad at all, no matter how concrete and solid any proof is) people will finally start seeing him.

    I need him to experience bankruptcy, open mockery by everyone in eyesight (not that he probably has much of that), and get raped. Preferably at the same time. His final moments should be him getting fucked by some object (I wouldn’t wish it in as person lol) that says “made in Mexico” or “made in El Salvador” or even “made in Russia” while being pointed at and laughed at by a huge crowd (aka bigger crowd than his biggest rally) while being served some kind of financial woe papers. His kids in attendance as well, with Melania roasting beside him.

    Unless some huge conspiracy comes out that she is the ultimate victim of some uber traffic plot. I don’t know enough about her to say, but I’m fairly sure so far that she’s deserving of this treatment as well.



  • Not sure why you specified “previous” phone. I don’t tend to carry that around at all. The battery lasts a few hours if the screen stays off, said screen is cracked and it runs nothing “fine”. Everything haha and glitches around. It remains useful as a cat TV mainly.

    Assuming that’s some kinda typo, the current one runs it much better, but getting the correct card when my hand is full is very unreliable, and the UI is cramped to hell since it is a smaller screen but can’t be scaled down as much due to readability. It does come in handy when the deck is at home though.



  • I’m more talking about peeking itself doesn’t let you see everything. As in, everything is frozen in place while peeking, so if I’m checking enemy HP, it usually blocked by whatever card is selected, and you can’t back out of the selection you’re peeking through, so you’re stuck. That is just a problem with the game itself though, not the controller support.

    But selecting a card should be visually more obvious, at least for non attack cards. I can’t count how many times I’ve selected a card intending to consider my move but accidentally playing it because I didn’t see it was already selected quickly enough. Now that’s maybe my fault for going too fast sometimes, but a better visual indicator would be nice.

    Also, defaulting the enemy selection to the one I targeted last instead of the one closest to the left would also be super helpful.

    I only play on the deck now since I found out about the recent Intel microcode issue the hard way, and I can’t afford to replace the 2nd and 3rd most expensive parts of a computer. Fixed disability income means I won’t get that done until I get my next job.






  • I honestly wish this would immediately totally destroy the entire company.

    We need an example for “what happens when you make basic features cost extra”.

    This isn’t the first example, but the first I did hear was the heated seats (don’t remember the make, but I think it was BMW which I already hate conveniently) feature getting milked the same way.

    I’m totally in favor of companies tiptoeing to see how much hostility they can get away with getting immediately liquidated and shut down faster than the CEO can finish chuckling to themselves after coming up with the idea. Their golden parachutes should turn into iron weights and they should be up shit’s creek, penniless and disqualified for any account in their name to ever receive a deposit. This kind of decision should be actually and literally lethal.

    I’m not even kidding. I’m in favor of executing everyone involved in this whole chain of decisions, including any and all the “yes men” along the way. They’re too evil to be allowed to breathe my oxygen.


  • Every tobacco smoker is gross.

    Maybe that’s a product of the old “every swan is white” kind of fallacy (don’t know the name of it offhand), but I’ve never met a habitual smoker that didn’t cause physical pain to be around. They stink, their clothes stink, their car stinks, their room stinks, and maybe their whole house.

    “Stinks” may be just an opinion, but it seems to be almost universally agreed on (again, in my experience).

    I’ve always looked down on them and judged them for consciously coding to smell like that, especially because all they get from it is keeping the symptoms of withdrawal away. They don’t get “high”, they don’t even get “relaxed” (except in the manner of relief from withdrawal symptoms). Literally all they get is smelling like poison and a priority pass to the lung cancer ride.

    Not to mention possibly causing mild symptoms to everyone else nearby.

    Also everyone doing it now wasn’t born back when they thought it was beneficial or even neutral. It’s always been the most reliable route to cancer in everyone alive today’s life.

    So I think all smokers are stupid and stinky at the very best, and intentionally malicious at worst.

    Given that there is absolutely no benefit at all, and given the definite danger of it to you and others, I deem smokers are just bad people in general.

    On the more stupid end of the spectrum, they’re more stupid than bad, but even the very “best” tobacco for is stupid AF.

    So to answer, no I don’t consume tobacco, and that is why.


    Alcohol I believe is at least not as addictive, but is a bad choice for most of the same reasons. Typically they have to go more out of control to present an offensive odor, and if kept away from driving or sharp things, much less danger to others.

    Their motivations seem more apparent since they do get high from it (drunk is basically just the word for a high specifically from alcohol). I also think that (not pushing this as I don’t know definitively) alcohol does less cumulative damage over time when used responsibly.

    I drank occasionally (aka like 2x a week at the extreme high end) for a few years, and while I didn’t ever get a hangover exactly, I did black out once and started getting headaches regularly, so it quickly became more of a negative than a positive. Haven’t touched it for over 9 years, except for one sip of champagne for a toast at my brother’s wedding. And it was kinda gross in my opinion. Never did like the taste of alcohol, but being drunk was fun as a while as a kid, and enjoying doing something my parents wouldn’t like (coming out of a pretty conservative household) was part of it.

    But almost no one just smokes occasionally. Plenty of drinkers drink occasionally. And if they’re not driving, they’re likely being annoying at worst. I don’t judge them nearly as harshly as tobacco smokers.

    I’m fine with weed enjoyers. Whether you smoke it, vape it, or eat it, I’m interested in all of it. But it does still have an odor problem. Tobacco smells bad kinda universally (in my opinion), and that tar in it makes it super gross. I’ve never seen weed smoke “set in” to anything and make any permanent kinda smell. Maybe because I keep it cleaned up, maybe just because it’s not as oppressive in the first place.

    Obviously I’m biased in how “bad” the smells are in relation to each other, but weed smell does seem to dissipate more. In my case I dry vape it, mostly through a window so it goes outside. None of my shit smells like weed. The room smells a bit when I’m emptying abv and loading new, but as soon as it’s put away it’s like it was never there.

    So anyway, no. I don’t do either. And if you smoke tobacco (at least often or regularly), we are probably not friends. And you would definitely not be my SO. Smoking goes on the “ick” list for sure. Probably the textbook example of an ick.
