After, HIV/AIDS, yes. Let’s take a look.

Grindr is preventing gay male sexual and romantic culture to evolve past simple and fast hookups. These sexual encounters that used to happen in parks, public toilets, and other cruising spots were a necessity of the time when being gay in public could have cost you your life. We could now date like heterosexual people do (in the West at least) but most people don’t, sex is too easy to get on Grindr.

That’s also an issue. Sex shouldn’t be so easy to get. Wanting sex should be a motivation to get out of your house, go to places, meet new people. I know so many gay men who are extremely lonely and just have one Grindr hookup after the other. Often, drugs are involved. And even if you go one of the few remaining gay bars or clubs, guess what - everyone is looking at Grindr on their phones.

As a result, very few men I’ve met in my 33 years of life and 15 years of gay dating have had any game, but almost all have zero chill. Everything needs to be now. Show me your dick, how do you like to fuck? It’s actually not normal to exchange dick and hole pics before you even said hello to the person in real life.

Grindr has turned gay men into pitiful sex addicts, there’s no thrill, there’s no chase, it’s like ordering Doordash.

As an aside, in countries that are not yet on the Western level of gay acceptance, Grindr is a convenient replacement for cruising so those men don’t even have to be visible as gay. In fact, I bet conservative politicians in places like Hungary or Poland really like Grindr (and not just because some of them are on it) because it keeps gay men confined and out of sight.

Some of them might be. But that still doesn’t make “transgender history month” a subject of this community.

Please stop with the man made horrors beyond my comprehension.

You want to create new human life to grow organs in it and then kill the unborn child. To save animals.

Demonic. Absolutely demonic.

You must have a very flexible spine.

Let’s hope it collapses fully. Grindr has been the worst thing to happen to gay men. Should be banned anyway.

Freaks.

This has nothing to do with this community or the gay bro culture.

This is about guns, and trucks, and lifting heavy things and good old fashioned hardcore hold on for your dear life gay sex.

Sorry boss can’t come into work today I’m still campaigning for better bus routes.

Well, if you want to try again at some point, I can tell you they get progressively less scary as the game goes on because you’ll get a bunch of tools to deal with them. In the last third of the game even getting caught by one is nothing because you’ll have blood grenade launchers that can easily kill them. And for those who like the stealth way better, you’ll get a special tool to sever the BTs umbilical if you get near them (the game is very liberal in what it counts as near).

There are really good recommendations here, you might also like VOLA, it’s a progressive metal band with only clean vocals.

But with net neutrality it’s harder to remove sites like KiwiFarms. Like you can write to the hosts and make a stink but as we’ve seen in this example they can find ways to remain online or they can even conceivably host the site themselves.

But if ISPs can simply restrict access to hateful sites…

I’m sorry I can’t keep track. Are the democrats and progressives for net neutrality or are they for removing dangerous misinformation and hateful non progressive ideas?

The 10 point scale doesn’t make sense. Things can be bad, satisfactory, mediocre, good, and excellent. F, D, C, B, A. One star hotel, five star hotel. Etc.

Shadow of the Colossus is an experimental action puzzle game where you navigate a desolate world in search of 16 colossuses you need to kill by strategically and carefully climbing on their bodies.

This mechanic is probably familiar to many from other newer action games. This is where they stole it from, and SOTC still did it the best.

I loved the traversal mechanics in Death Stranding. Kind of made me realise that in all other games the characters are actually gliding and not walking.

I didn’t however like that the game gets a bit too actiony toward the end. And the MULEs and the terrorists stop being a threat when you get upgraded weapons, and the BTs once you have that golden handcuff thing.

I hope they address that in the sequel. The BTs should have been a lot scarier and the stealth a bit more refined.

Still an amazing game. I loved just doing the deliveries. There’s a meditative quality to it that I only previously saw in Shadow of the Colossus.

I haven’t considered that. Thank you for the context. I suppose the current European system is a bit of a tense stalemate/compromise because there are definitely many organisations around European counties, not to mention the Catholic and Orthodox Church, that are advocating for abortion to be banned.

I really don’t understand why abortion is such a big and weird issue in the US. It’s not like Europe lacks fundies. It also seems very polarized in the US, with some (don’t jump at my throat I said some not all) pro-choice activists insisting on legal on-demand abortion during nearly the whole pregnancy but then on the other side pro-life activists wanting to ban Plan B pills.

Why can’t you just look at how most European countries have done it? On-demand abortion limited to the first trimester (generally) but with a bunch of exceptions for special and edge cases and when the mother’s life is in danger and when the pregnancy is a result of rape or incest. It seems to mostly work for us.

I have medication, I am not suicidal, I go to work everyday, I clean my apartment, I feed my cat. I’m not some kind of a burned out wreck living in filth. I am depressed, but that’s just how it is. I’ve made a lot of bad choices in life, with friends, in my career, and now I’m stuck here without a way out.

Personal growth is an illusion, we are who we are. It’s all determined. You can say it’s God or that it’s a deterministic universe but it’s all the same.
