Corrected archive link - OP's is missing a character so it's not working

Source for fun. Japanese people discussing their favorite countries. The woman in OP is discussing Belgium!

Being horny is harmless and fun. There would be a lot more chill in the world if people would stop being so wound up about it.

Do you not know that actual news clips from actual news outfits get posted on youtube sometimes

Idk man, I was just continuing the chain of references.

No way. Why should OP change? He's not the one who sucks.

Hey man, as long as you had fun.

People see it as a way to spread awareness about the fediverse alternatives that are out there. Like "hey, if you like this, there's more where that came from." It's not for viewers who are already here, but for those where the post inevitably travels.

I dunno. Both watermarking and being annoyed at the watermarks seem like a waste of energy to me. If people are going to generate content, I'm not going to sass them about how unless it makes something about the content worse (harder to read etc).

It's like using a very fine-grit sandpaper on your legs, so if that's what you were imagining… yes? Maybe? You basically slowly buff off the hair.

Consider yourself lucky and walk away like you just dodged a bullet

weirdly antisocial

Completely forgets (or ignores) the fact that some people just don’t like their lives and avoiding thinking about it is what helps them get through the day. And that others legitimately have nothing new going on that they can discuss with those outside their inner circles. Like, I’m not going to tell someone I haven’t seen in a couple years all about the adult novel I’m looking forward to releasing in December, or that time I moved and nothing about it went well to the point it was mildly traumatic, so yeah, they’re going to get a “meh, not much. keeping busy. work and stuff. you?” at the most generous.

It’s hard to get across “no really, I find predictability comforting and/or am not willing to share the personal projects I fill my time with for various reasons.”

The fact that they even tried to pretend it wasn’t retroactive because they didn’t charge for old install counts. Like, does it charge games that were released under different terms? Yes? Then it’s retroactive!

I think most of the people opposed to this post are confusing “I don’t need my whole feed to be about these things” with “I’m against these things.”

Are you capable of checking the context of a statement before replying to it? The quality of the advice was not at issue. You asked why the person was hostile. Being an asshole begets hostility.

Couldn’t possibly be because that person is acting like it’s our fault we’re too weak to have it too with the dismissive “bub” and the cry to “get your shit together.”

I got my first one of these when I was 21 and in the best shape of my life. Accidents, injuries, and unpreventable diseases happen, and acting like your comparative good luck means you’ve made better choices than those who have been less lucky by implying they’ve been “unhealthy as hell” is kind of gross.

It’s pretty much all he does unless he finds an Obra Dinn-tier darling.

Except for Gollum, he was weirdly defensive of that for a game that pulled every AAA anti-consumer trick in the book without at least the decency to be bland.

Yeah, this is consistent with my experience too. I got one or two participation ribbons in my whole school life (graduated early 2000s), but they weren’t common, and they never came at the exclusion of winners being recognized.

I wonder if this is why I’ll see a post has a larger comment count than the comments I can read, too.

If you’ve blocked someone, that person’s comments and all comments replying to theirs are hidden from your view. This is my only guess why you might be seeing this. The comment count you see on your instance should be accurate, since it only counts comments it knows about and it doesn’t know about defederated ones.
