No, no, it’s “have you tried a more expensive thing”

Nope, that’s what it is, although “hallucinations” is generous. “Waking nightmares” is probably a better description.

Honestly, smart move, op. That shit is an active hostage situation. DPH addiction is the scariest thing to me. At least with other drugs, I understand that taking them is fun, but DPH is just fucked from start to end

KFC Double Down! Not sure if that was a kiwi exclusive, but it was gooooood!

It’s a board ape… which I’m not convinced is better

You’ll never get a smoking gun, like more votes in an area than people in it. I think a good sign to be looking out for would be making crazy changes to the election process that could only mean that they intend to cheat…

Like refusing international election monitoring… 👀👀👀👀👀

Ye, no such thing as an ethical billionaire. I just mean that as far as billionaire CEO’s go you can definitely find worse. He’s done a much better job of keeping his evil tendencies (should they exist) under wraps.

you guys

They hire each other! We get no say. In the words of George Carlin: It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it

I very cautiously submit Gabe Newell for consideration. I’m not aware of him doing anything overtly and blatantly evil yet.

I see, so the line between normal and deranged is essentially what makes you specifically uncomfortable. There’s no arguing with that. I’m out.

That’s a shit take too tbh. Thinking along those lines, the writers of Saw, or any horror movie really, are not normal, or the people who watch them, or do weird shit in The Sims or Rimworld. Or the creators of those games for allowing it.

There’s nothing wrong with morbid curiosity. It is INNATELY human and rooted in evolutionary threat detection. It is a far FAR leap from creating human leather hats in Rimworld to hurting a real person. This whole debate is idiotic.

Instead of telling it “You are experiencing pain” they have added a slider in it’s thinking process labelled “pain”

Yes, and video games make people violent IRL /s

Kindly fuck all the way off

No, but it can be hilarious

Case in point

I have a mechanical wrist watch, so I do know this, but it’s got an automatic winding mechanism and I pretty much never take it off, so I rarely think about winding it except when it drifts too far. I really should have put 2 and 2 together before now. It never occurred to me to check that people were using the idiom correctly.

That makes way more sense!

Your underlying point is correct and I agree

But the pedant in me hates this saying. It’s almost never true. A clock broken in a very specific way is right twice a day, but how many clocks get broken like that? If they get smashed, and hands fall off, they can’t even show a valid time. Even then, they’re more likely to just run at the wrong speed, which makes it VERY unlikely they’ll show the correct time even once a day. Also most clocks are digital now! If those break, they show nothing!

Thank you for coming to my Tod Talk

the boy ain’t right
