While understandable, being able to request specific characteristics from your driver, like sex and gender, is putting drivers at risk even more than they already were. Like I can already think of a few dark scenarios and situations that are facilitated by this feature. In fact, this feature opens Uber drivers up as a much more viable source of victims for sex offences, robbery, stalking/inceldom, etc.
Would this render figs off limits for vegans and vegetarians? 🤔
Star Wars holds a place in my heart mainly for nostalgia reasons. Seeing those original films for the first time was formative back in the day when I was a wee cunt. But yeah, they’re pretty indefensible from a film criticism standpoint.
My takes:
Taxi Driver’s Travis Bickle is an interesting one. He’s pretty fucking despicable, but when I first watched the movie as a freshly-pubescent teen, I bought into his sick view of the world and took the film at face value. That is, I thought it was a story about a weird-but-well-meaning dude who decides to take on some baddies.
It’s from 1976, but if it were made today, Travis would 100% be a violent misogynist incel posting his manifesto to 4chan instead of writing it in his diary.
it is bcoz they r locate in s. asian
i hope this help

Homophobia was the norm where I grew up in the '80s and '90s. Took me until the late '90s to start questioning that, and probably a year or two more to become completely cleansed of it.
As much as I’m sure that child (now woman) never wants to be known publicly, I nevertheless want to give her the keys to whatever city she chooses. And free therapy for life.
She actually has a much better chance of winning next time, because she’ll have 4 years’ worth of “I fucking told you so” to back her up.
Still, it’s not like there aren’t better options…
When I was a kid, there was a period during which I was convinced my dad was planning to kill me (or have me killed). I’d have regular nightmares about it.
I have one [non-dream] memory in particular where we were walking through Belfast on a sunny Sunday afternoon, it was pretty much empty except for us. We were walking along a path holding hands (I was like 6 or 7), and an alleyway opened to the right of me, and I thought “this is it…” and was expecting a masked gunman to come out, and for my dad to let go of my hand and step aside, his job now complete. Genuinely thought that was about to happen and almost had a panic attack. No idea why I thought that, or why I eventually stopped thinking it.
I was later diagnosed with all sorts of neuro/psych shenanigans, so I guess it was probably that. I still have intrusive thoughts, but I’ve had therapy so I’m a bit better able to manage them. CBT might do you some good if you have access to a shrink. You can even do most of it on your own, or with a bit of guidance from someone else who’s already done it.
What ever happened to ‘crazy?’

I don’t know who this is for. The show was 8 seasons and even then it felt rushed at the end, and each episode of it was close to a standard movie runtime. Then we have the spin-off shows. What exactly can get done, storywise, in even a 2 & ½ hour fillum? You’d spend the entire runtime just explaining who the fuck everyone is. And even if watching the OG show is a prerequisite, it’s still not long enough to get through more than 2 or 3 monologues.
How a PTSD-tormented vet hasn’t plugged this cunt yet is beyond me. He’s said at least a dozen things in the last 10 years that would justify it. I mean he let the fact that there were Russian bounties on US service members go completely unanswered. Nevermind the repugnant things he says about them, he lets them be the target of headhunting sociopaths because he’s too much of a fucking pussy to say a single word against Putin.
Signing up for military service under Trump is insane in the membrane.
FlashGet was my jam back in the early 2000s. Then one day it downloaded malware a malicious third party had somehow managed to inject into its updater 😒
Welp, looks like I’ll need to get myself a PS5 then.
Said no cunt ever
Charlie Kirk’s killer turns himself in. This cunt literally says “we got him”.
There’s some evidence/theories that the Northern Bank robbery was done to give ex-IRA members retirement funds 👀
‘Steam Store Front’ should be shortened to ‘Stormfront’. At least then no one would be shocked when they discover it’s teeming with illiterate bigots.
All I can suggest is that you report and block as much as you can. If there’s a game, like Relooted, that’s a bug light for scumbags, go to its forums when you have 10 minutes free and just report the shitstains you come across. Steam does take action sometimes.
My parents paid about that much for a SNES copy of Earthworm Jim back in the mid-90s. It was disgusting then and it’s disgusting now, despite the fact that, adjusted for inflation, that would be £140 today. I mean I don’t feel like we’re getting a 50% discount when a game costs 70 fuckin’ quid nowadays.
There’s really no reason to spend that anyway, not on PC at least. IsThereAnyDeal.com and the slightly questionable loaded.com (formerly cdkeys.com) give decent discounts even on day one (and Steam itself will eventually have it on sale, of course). Loaded isn’t like G2A, which is a credit card thief’s wonderland. It’s more like when your uncle Jim crosses the border with 40 cartons of cigarettes secreted in the wheel wells of his truck because they cost 400% less over there. I can live with that level of mischief when it comes to AAA games that take the absolute piss with their prices and their hostage DLCs. EA, Ubisoft and Rockstar have not caused me a millisecond of lost sleep when I get their games for £3 six months after release from a code that was originally bundled with a new GPU. With how extremely easy it is to pirate games (something I haven’t done in nearly 20 years), I don’t feel like those larger AAA companies are meeting us half way, to say the fucking least.
If saving 5 bucks on your grocery bill is the thing that keeps your head above water… you’re probably already deep enough to meet the ghost of that OceanGate CEO.
You can still do this. There’re loads of free and basic (i.e. easy-to-learn) game engines and you can make games of much better quality with the same effort. itch.io is full of free games made by amateurs.
When people celebrate the downfall of Flash, it’s not because of the games. It’s because the entire internet was replete with unnecessary Flash-heavy bullshit that required constantly updating your browser’s Flash plugins (and all browsers had their own version you had to install and update), and how it was completely unsuited to any sort of UI/UX (e.g. you couldn’t even copy and paste text in Flash pages most of the time). And all that is to say nothing of the gaping goatse of a security hole that it was.
It was cancer. Just because the cancer got you down to your goal weight, it doesn’t mean you should lament the success of your chemotherapy.
