If you can find a new s1 battery…

Drink the expensive/good stuff first is generally good, though. I’ll appreciate the good stuff more while I’m still sober/buzzed, and once I’m drunk the cheap stuff is easier to drink.

What are those reasons? What precedent does it set?

I think that today’s world makes it harder to stand out as a genius, even with more opportunity. Most modern composers with any public name recognition are movie composers, like Hans Zimmer, Howard Shore, and John Williams. Absolutely incredible scores without their movies, but are any Mozart level? I bet the Mozart level ones are probably well known in the orchestral world, but none of them are probably very well known outside of it.

And as far as scientists and mathematics, those roles have been pretty much entirely commercialized and corporatized. Even stuff for the public good is largely funded through grants and private investors, so the geniuses are always beholden to others who will take the real credit.

All of the recognized “geniuses” that I can think of are business-savvy grifters like musk and bozos and Zuck, all riding the coattails of the real innovators. Plus, these three specifically, if you look at their vanity projects and shit, they’re all pretty insane.

To be fair Rockstar was really the company that normalized nudity in games. Not that is is normalized, I can only think of a handful of companies that have done it in mainstream games. Cd project red gamed and that Conan exiles or whatever mmo where you get a dick? Honestly can’t think of others.

Sure love all these articles whitewashing and still downplayng iit all. The planet is on fucking fire. We are beyond ‘acknowledgements’. We need to do something. And what we chose to do was let the fucking Saudis run the show like fucking dumbasses.

We’re so fucked.

Thats a real team-based solution focused attitude lol. Nowhere did I say “do it for them”. I said help them. Because hey guess what, sometimes people can’t do things by themselves. Like I said, standing behind someone and going “just do it” doesn’t work. If they need help they need help. And yeah, at some point if they can’t do it, they can’t do it, and you need someone else to do it.

The key is finding responsibilities and roles that fit the disability. I struggle with the day to day chores, but I also have no problem with scheuled big, non-daily projects like deep cleaning or yard work or whatnot that i can hyperfocus on for 6 hours. It’s all about strengths and weaknesses and finding people and jobs that are compatible.

Nothing you’ve said I inherently disagree with, your tone is just so aggressively dismissive and accusatory.

Lol i love you you completely prove my point. Like a true neurotypical lol. “It’s NoT mY JoB To heLP YOu! JuSt FuCkInG Do IT yOU lAzY SAck oF ShiT!”

That’s what you fucking sound like.

i’d just assumed it was short for “Cope, cause we’ll all be fucked by 2028”

Competent at what specifically? Basic daily life like chores and dishes? External motivators are way better than internal. I never clean “for myself”. I clean because my wife needs it for her emotional well-being, and I clean because it would be embarrassing for guest or maintenance to see it.

Other potential options are therapy and medication, but I acknowledge the privelage of having them and that many people dont have that as an option. And obviously I’m just some dude so take it all as anecdotal evidence.

But for me it comes down to I will rarely do things for myself, so mentally framing them as for other people makes it easier

But sometimes "I just couldn’t ’ is the answer. You dont mad that a fish can’t climb a tree. First you ask why the fish needs to be in the tree. And then if it really does, you help the fish get into the tree. Standing behind it shouting words of encouragement or tgreats mean nothing when a fish can’t climb. Far too often people get caught up so much on blaming and shaming people for mistakes or failures that it turns relationships sour and the original problem still doesn’t get solved.

Normalize not demanding explanations, and start accepting ‘I just couldn’t’ as a valid answer. Don’t let normie neurotypicals define what is "Normal’.

That has to be the real reason they’ve canceled Grand Tour

Bad bot linking to pay walls and not posting the article text.

It’s incredibly important to do so because conservative and right-wing media is all free. They don’t paywall anything. This is part of the disinformation brain-drain. The quality, real stuff is locked away but the bullshit is out for display.

Start displaying the real stuff.

I’ve wondered this before: most animals have a sense of smell magnitudes stronger Than humans. But I’ve also seen situations where smells are so bad the humans are reaching but the animals don’t care.

Do animals not have the same “gross” reactionary instinct?

The animations and videos on Newgrounds definitely contributed to many awakenings for teenage me.

Wasn’t there a report about dozens of dead monkeys from animal trials a few months ago?

I mean… they literally try to fuck up the internet every few years. Eventually they’ll get someth8ng through.

They’re also leading the race to making encryption illegal, so…

You are still misinterpreting me. And claiming I’m misinterpreting you as well lol. Of course you still have to shoot your shot lol. Maybe I’d just assumed that was obvious.

I use names because it’s exasperating and frustrating to have a conversation with pessimists that always have an excuse. I get frustrated when people act like shit is supposed to fall in their laps and complain when it doesn’t.

Relationships take work. Finding a relationship does, too. It takes subtelty and nuance.
