“Hey you, you’re finally awake”

I’m not at all religious now, but I was raised Christian. There’s some awful, awful shit in the Bible, but Jesus was such a chill dude. If everyone acted like Jesus, the world would be an awesome place. He was just a hippie who drank wine and hung out with his bros and made friends with prostitutes and outcasts and condemned the church leaders who abused their positions. According to legend he was the legit son of God and yet when he was asked to judge sinners he was like yo dudes that’s not my place only my dad can do that I’m not worthy and neither are any of you, maybe instead of worrying about what other people are doing you should deal with your own issues, ok? Can you imagine if people actually lived like that? I’m not as familiar with other religions, but from what I know other major prophets were pretty chill, cool dudes too. If people actually followed the prophets of their religions instead of being assholes, religion would be great. Instead we have poor people being exploited, women and children being abused, and the entire system is fucked and corrupted because of human nature run amok.

Came here to comment on the religion part. Humans are biologically programmed to be in a tribe and we need an “other” and we need a bad guy. On its own religion could be a neutral or a good thing, but it fits that need for tribalism and a common enemy and feeling superior. It’s the same mindset as nationalism or racism or when fans of sports teams riot and beat the shit out of each other for no reason. If religion never existed humanity would have just discovered some other way to segregate ourselves, feel superior, order each other around with arbitrary rules even the in group can’t agree on, and isolate and kill those who don’t comply. Add in manipulative people who are all too eager to hop into leadership roles and use them for their own power and selfish gain and you have pure evil, but it’s the system, not the religion, that’s a distraction.

FYI, if that ever happens again and you have nail polish remover handy, it dissolves it with no filing required :)

Loneliness. Lima beans. The smell of weed.

This is such a good answer and I hate that it’s true.

I also am a one income household and also am no stranger to having to choose “rent or groceries” on a regular basis. I hate that you can’t get food assistance unless you make minimum wage, but where I live they release analysis every year that a single adult needs to make at least 3x minimum wage just to be able to afford to exist with a one bedroom apartment at market rates and that’s without having extra money for savings, hobbies, or going out.

I have fucked up so many things in my life but I will always be eternally grateful that I never fucked up and got pregnant.

I liked the soundtrack much better overall (some of the packs sucked, but I just don’t play them) and I like the movement and flow better than Beat Saber. I’m ok at Beat Saber but was never quite able to hit the hardest difficulty levels. I was playing the hardest difficulty levels on Synth Riders pretty quickly. I think it turns people off because the easier difficulty levels are quite boring, but it’s very good on higher difficulty settings. They’re both good games, it’s very much just personal preference for me.

Beat Saber was fun until I tried Synth Riders.

Then I modded Skyrim VR. All my other VR games have been abandoned forever.

DnD nerds freaking out at the thought of Thieves Cant becoming a legitimate skill.

I’m not a NYC resident, so I can’t vote in their election, but I wouldn’t vote for Cuomo if I was!

That’s incredibly unfair. Everyone says we don’t, but I just checked my timesheet and it’s listed as a 13 hour shift (instead of 12) with a notation marking it as happening during a time shift.

I work night shift. I got to watch the time on my phone reset and then relive the hour again while stuck on shift.
