Especially because it seems like the overwhelming majority of adults have forgotten how much it sucks to be a kid. A kid or teen's world is much smaller. Sure, their biggest problems might be next week's science fair and what that one girl from math class thinks about them, but those are huge insurmountable problems to someone who has never had to worry about being unable to feed their family. The problems are comparatively smaller but that doesn't mean they're any less emotionally devastating. I remember being a teen. I remember the emotional and spiritual pain I went through trying to talk about the things I care about, or were worried about, only to be told that my problems weren't problems and weren't a big enough deal to matter. In the Grand Scheme? Sure, maybe they weren't such a big deal. But at the time they mattered to me a lot.

Most adults have forgotten what it was like to be a teenager and they dismiss them out of hand.

Yeah but I'm not out here paying $50 to put some pixels on someone else's post. Cry more

This particular dev didn't. But the Starfield team at large has been blowing up the internet recently telling people that don't like the game that their opinions are wrong.

Insult, no elaboration. Classic. Nah I think he's pretty spot on. If you're going to say something about it then back up your argument.

Being generous, I'd say I could run maybe a half mile at full tilt before I collapse completely. +400% stamina would put me at two miles, and the shoes last "while stamina lasts." Pretty strong, but not Flash OP.

And the next 20 below that do not.

If you aren't willing to look past the first four results to find what you want, internet shopping may not be for you.

I found it in my photo roll, actually, and uploaded it directly. Can you not see it?

Here's a link to the forbidden place

My partner recently bought me a stuffed cat that has giant balls. It's hilarious, long story. Anyway I've named him Bophades.

In fact there's a bigger version of this meme extending through the other direction of the scale as well

Edit: Found it

Uber is NOT an acceptable replacement for public transport and acting like it is, is foolish. A public transit system seeks to move people around, and make enough money to keep themselves alive. A rideshare app only seeks profit, and will move people around as a means to that end. They are diametrically opposed. Further privatizing things in America that should be public utilities is a very bad, no good, awful idea.

Therefore it is up to consumers to make sure that being environmentally conscious is profitable.

I was going to buy Hondas anyway because they are cheap and reliable but if Honda as a company really does become carbon neutral that's an added bonus that I'm thrilled about. Even if Hondas become moderately priced and reliable instead of cheap and reliable as a result, they'll still be on my radar.

Okay so you admit in your own argument that they're doing it slower. Yes, I WILL vote for a 50-year plan to fascism over voting for a 2-year plan to fascism, every time, without question. Gives us more time to turn it around before sitting officials burn everything down. At this point in this country I frankly don't give much of a damn what the Democrat long term goals are anymore because the Republican party is such an immediate and obvious threat to safety, democracy, and human decency. Given such an environment it's obvious that a few decades (or less) from now we're going to be dealing with significant problems in the Democratic party, since it's so easy to choose to usher them into power right now - it's easy for bad actors to abuse that. And frankly there are already problems in the Democratic party. But I'd rather deal with that then, than deal with Republican ideals now, because instituting Republican ideals now will not leave us with a future where we even have the choice to deal with Democrat problems.
