Fan of breaking echo chambers by being devils advocate. Other than that, centrist. As in in USA I’d be considered left.

  • If you stop thinking about sides as whole and start thinking about singular choices, it becomes easy to understand where do centrists come from.

    I like tradition. I don’t think it should be untouchable, but I think it should be preserved and continued overall. I dislike globalism, valuing feeling of community with people from my country. I hate the idea of bending backwards just to fully accomodate whims of other people, even if these pertain to their feeling of self.

    On the other hand, I hate the idea of functionally sorting people based on their skin, using traditions to shame and attack others, or deeming others as worse just because what they feel themselves be is different than what we perceive.

    I hate censorship from both sides, portrayal of the other side as dumb and themselves as better and tendency for “group-thing” for humanity as a whole.

    So yeah, i deem myself centrist. But if you ask me to join the side fighting fascists, nazis or communists (in the USSR sense of the word), I’m with ya. In the end I need to choose what fits most of my views, and in USA case, that’s mostly left. In my own country it’s a bit more muddied.


  • I’m on the fence with achievements honestly. On one hand, they are kinda coolio and I don’t mind them. But also, except for private progress, they’re (as a whoile - dunno how RetroAchievements works ) worthless.

    Achievement - First Steps! (watched 1s of intro), Prepared (picked up a gun you cannot progress in tutorial without), Armed & Loaded (reloaded said gun), Questionable Choices (killed tutorial enemy you were forced to kill by tutorial)…

    Or the other side of coin: Hard and actually cool achievements…that are owned by 1/4 of the players because most folk just cheat them.

    So, well implemented they can be fun trackers. But they lost any value when it comes to bragging rights, and are quite often heavily overdone or treated more as a tracker for devs to see which parts of game are accessible and which are not.


  • Curious. In polish there are also two words. Moth is “ćma” and butterfly is “motyl”. Funfact: There is also “ćmić” whichs kinda archaic,but can mean giving very small light (for example, embers), a very small but constant pain or shading/covering/dimming something.

    And apparently the word comes from latin “tenebra”. Quite dramatic, as it means the word has it roots in word for darkness itself. Quite a name for a small, mostly blind furry butterfly wannabe.

    Got three shots of vac. Two were part of two does one vaccine thingie, third one was standalone (another vaccine).

    The first two kicked my ass. I got fever, exhaustion, weakness and joint pains lol. Both times. On one hand, yay, free day from work. On the other tho it wasn’t fun. Turns out sick days ain’t fun if you’re actually sick for most of them.

    Third one was fine. It was also I believe a year later, so maybe my immune system finally kicked in. If I had covid at some point, I didn’t know it.




  • Dude gave arguments for the PoV he presented and all you give back is sentimental approach coupled with accusation xD

    Truth is, humanity always perceived value of other humans by the filter of what can they do. Capitalism, communism, no matter - it still holds it.

    Even in small communities a lazy, drunk neigbour is gonna be seen as barely worth anything coupled to industrious, hard working neighbour. We just are like this. All humans are innately egoistic to some degree and they perceive value of others through what they can gain from them.

    Few folk are empathetic enough to perceive every single person as precious, yet even they crumble in certain scenarios, mostly connected to estimating worth of people who inconvienience them and their family.

    Or you know, just defaultism. If the player is hetero, by default his character is hetero. He did not seem offended by the route it took, just embarassed (and it’s not said per se if because of gay, because of success at failing or both).

    Hell, looking at the full-color-spectrum cast I am hella more prone to believing it’s mix of defaultism and simple laughing at friend stumbling xD

    1. Whatever you wear is what you wear. If skirt is short enough to flash person behind you on stairs, that’s on you.
    2. Any physical contact without consent is invalid. The way you dress is not consent.
    3. And if you go for upskirt photo, your target has full right to defend their dignity. By, for example, kicking you off the stairs. Again, consequences of your actions.

    That’s my take at least.

    I mentioned main differences in the first two parts of the comment. Domain, root vs user, name and booting into a system being the default are the main differences, that can throw non savvy user off.

    I agree I’ve might muddled too much with the linux story, I wanted to use it to show that even if I knew somewhat what I am doing I still kindof fucked myself - someone fully new to that without proper instruction may do worse.

    Oh really. The fuck is domain, why do I need two passwords, fuck’s root and why the heck does it ask for my name.

    And first of all why the heck did my pc boot into linux to install linux.

    For someone used to windows, linux is weird af with it’s installer. Same other way around. I, being a bit more tech savvy, for example managed to almost force myself into using linux because I tried to keep windows like partitions…and, after fidging around in installer format tools, managed to do it.

    Windows did not like it when I installed it back and I had to reformat because linux doesn’t care what format (or whatever the BTRFS, FAT etc are called) disk is in, or was it disks table? But oh boy does Windows installer care xD

    For non tech savvy folk, last used installer is better xD
