…that’s not how that works

Wasn’t this on the tame side, as far as halftime shows go?

Hell yeah. And I suppose my “not good enough” would be better stated as “if a musician or venue is insecure or uncomfortable with a real performance, they shouldn’t play live”.

If you’re a decent performer there’s no need. If you’re not good enough without studio editing, you shouldn’t be performing live anyway.

A few months ago my wife and I were on vacation in Peru and we got kicked off our flight through no fault of our own, along with 5 other strangers. We spent hours in the airport working out logistics of getting home, getting reimbursed, getting hotels/meals, etc. At one point, they suggested to one of the women to take an uber to the hotel (this was around 3 am) and she said “I’m not going out into the city without anyone I know, you’re going to send me with someone I can trust.” We had only met hours ago, but our shared predicament gave us unity.

A D&D party trauma bonding over some initial catastrophe is honestly realistic. So, if you meet up for a job and it goes badly enough, you’re essentially family!

My cat’s name is Whopper. She was found in a Burger King parking lot

Wait is she supposed to be a floating torso?

When the digital world is cohesive and interesting, it becomes a believable world to exist in. It requires excellent writing and good visual/sound design. Some games I’ve gotten immersed in: World of Warcraft, Skyrim, SOMA, System Shock 2, Prey, Outer Wilds, Breath of the Wild, No Man’s Sky

I have dual citizenship

It entirely depends on the community. I’m sure there are judicious, patient moderators here. I mean, in a small community there’s not much work to do, so extra care can be made. But moderation is also a thankless job, and it honestly erodes your soul.

The easiest thing for a mod to do is say “This person broke a rule, I’m banning them from the entire instance”. The fair thing to do is issue a warning and remove a comment/post, maybe a temp ban. But most people see one infraction, even a mistaken one, as proof that you aren’t fit for the community.

Also echoing that fediverse mods are no different

Once you realize you can change your opinion about something after you learn about it, it’s like a super power. So many people only have the goal of proving themselves right or safeguarding their ego.

It’s okay to admit a mistake. It’s normal to be wrong about things.

Not defending Campbell’s or the VP here, but I think people are being too puritanical about artificial meat. It’s just fuel for our bodies. I’d be concerned about other additives, preservatives, or hormones in it. But if some meat printer can lay out strands of protein, isn’t that preferable to killing animals?
