So happy they got rid of all that ugly greenery and replaced it with a nice lively gray

Is one of them Intrigue in the Bakumatsu?

Don't complain. You said the options were 100% carnage, or 75% carnage, and because there's no 0% carnage option, you're happy letting 100% win. What people are trying to explain to you is that you should reduce harm as much as possible, even if you can't reduce it entirely.

No, it's neither. They were drawing a similarity between the advice given in the post and the advice given in the video. That is, that it sounds obvious to people who say it, but it's condescending and dismissive and in practice it doesn't really help

This is a more complex question than just "what is your favorite video game," or "what games do you consider works of art?"

If I'm putting a game in a museum, it's because there's something about it that warrants preservation on a greater level than other games. To that end, my candidates are

  • Pong (1972)

The first commercially successful video game.

  • Tetris (1985)

Arguably the most influential game of all time

  • Rollercoaster Tycoon (1999)

Handcrafted in assembly, serves as a lesson both in optimization and harnessing the players' penchant for finding intrinsic value in simplistic game mechanics

Edit: I just realized this comment looks like an infernal machine wrote it. I want to make it clear that I'm a human, with skin and blood and stuff

I can't speak for everyone, but I assume it's the condescending and presumptive "advice." Oh yeah, just try doing that thing you already do, it's worked well for the last 30 years.

I mean I'm not gonna give andrew tate or Jordan "The Lobster" Peterson the time of day, but it sure would be nice if there were more leftwingers acknowledging the difficulty of forming relationships instead of just saying "maybe be nice to women???"

This one was a bad.

How would you know? You thought they were saying homelessness is the same thing as being single lol

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago (6 children)

this thread was initially about how homelessness is the same thing as being single.

I love this platform dude nowhere else will you find commenters so fundamentally incapable of understanding analogies

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 day ago

some marketing fuck-knuckle (string them all up and ban the teaching of marketing)

Based, I love that this platform doesn't remove morally correct comments like this one

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's not reality that society cares to ridicule an average man who isn't dating anyone

Sure, aside from the well-recieved post we're commenting under saying that single men are unrelaxing and unenjoyable people

Society/women are generally angry and upset with men who are shitty to women and then get mad women reject them.

As they should be, those guys are awful

Why do you think having anxiety entitles him to control others?

I don't, and neither does he

Yes, here on Lemmy, where he doesn't want people to blah blah whatever he said.

"Blah blah whatever he said?" Are you calling this dude a narcissist for having thoughts and feelings and experiences that you can't even summarize?

I have lots of sex

Proud of u

Virgins are not in any way shape or form treated like pedophiles, lol wtf

Yeah it's a good thing I didn't say that. I wonder if I expounded on the point I was making in the comment you apparently didn't read

I'm fine harming men like this and you, they constantly do it to me and have for years - and you did do it to me, so clearly that justification is fair with you.

When??? I don't have a habit of diagnosing other people with mental illnesses or personality disorders

In fact, I am attempting to be helpful with his issue, because I am directly and specifically telling him what the exact issue is that makes him repellant to women and others.

I guess I might start though, this is a wild fucking take. I'm actually helping you by calling you repulsive. Lmao

Strawman.

You literally said that everyone disagreeing with you here was a narcissist

I mean you can literally convince a final boss that his plan is dumb, and he'll back off without a fight

Absolutely brutal. Can someone explain the answers?

 

A while back, someone made a post on an AITAH type subreddit, then updated it saying it was generated with AI. Like 3/4 of the comments left after the update were responding to the story as if there wasn't a big bold THIS STORY IS FAKE update at the top. I've been trying to find this post again for weeks, but no variation of "reddit AITAH AI generated post" offers anything useful on any search engines. Am I remembering wrong? Did I dream this up???

UPDATE: Thank you phlegmy for finding the post!

(Enter RADISHN'T, MOTHMAN MISATO, BOIMG FROG and CATS'N RAINCOATS, stage left. They are having a HEATED DISCUSSION.)

RADISHN'T: Prithee, which one of you had planned to tell

Of diff'rent flavours gained by simple act

Of brewing tea with water hot, not cold?

MOTHMAN: Egad! you poured the water cold? Wherefore?!

FROG: An answer from you, Radish, I must beg.

RADISHN'T: Indeed I did, dear friends - why does this shock?

Without the guide of others I assumed

That heat was merely added for the sake

Of expediting this solution's brewing!

Half a decade I have spent, or more,

Not questioning this worldview I had made.

In fact, I am myself a bit surprised

That you might think that I, your dearest friend,

Might have a patience of sufficient stock

To wait until a pot of water boils.

FROG: Three minutes overtaxes patience so?

The microwave will beep when it is done!

CATS'N: My friend, this answer vexes me the more!

Can it be true that thou dost boil by nuke?!

FROG: Are you in turn, my friend, so shocked to know

That I have not the patience, like our Root,

To boil upon the stove our favour'd drink?

CATS'N: It takes less than a minute!

FROG: On what plate?

Perhaps your dinner cooks atop the sun?

CATS'N: How long can take your stove to fill the task

Of boiling but a single cup alone?

FROG: In minutes?

CATS'N: Yes!

FROG: I counted seven, once.

CATS'N: Perhaps you ought to have your timepiece checked!

If on a middle heat you place the cup

You soon will have the scalding drink you crave.

Two minutes, in a mug upon the plate

Or even less, if you should have a pot.

FROG: You cause me tears - is this how thou dost live?

You place upon the iron stove a mug?

A mug, ceramic, filled with water cold?

How do these flames, though medium in height,

Not shatter like a glass this fragile thing?

Surely, then, your kitchen is bewitched

With magicks far beyond the mortal ken!

(The FOUR realise they have wandered into the THRONE ROOM. The ROYAL COURT watches with fascination.)

KING: Ev'ry single person in this group

must be a fucking lunatic, it seems.
