I thought I didnt like steak growing up because my parents genuinely believed that anything short of well done was disgusting.

After leaving home, I quickly discovered that steak is glorious.
Same, I never had a steak with even a hint of pink in it growing up. I wish Id tried cooking them myself long ago.
I was never big on steak growing up, which carried through most of adult life, and I've recently come to find out that it was because they were being cooked badly. I've really revisited them in the last year or so cooking them myself and a nice rare steak with blue cheese has become one of my go to meaty meals. So fucking good. I try to only eat meat once or twice a week and it's something I treat myself to a couple of times a month.
It's pretty easy imagining doing it in the desperation that would come after years alone.

I was just thinking about that game earlier today and considering giving it a play again. It's been a long ass time.

Sort of.
Except for the "hundredths of a percent" thing not being even remotely true.
Why would you expect an AI chatbot to make that kind of value judgements rather than do what it did, regurgitate snippets of criticism for the people and then say it's up to individuals to decide?

Savings accounts have negligible interest across the board.

I'm talking like hundredths of a percent.

If you wanna invest, check out a mutual fund. If you legit need a savings account for savings reasons, don't even worry about the rate.

Even basic ass Capitol One has a high yield savings account that gives I think 4.35%.

So you think it's fair for 99% of a social group to exclude the 1% because that 1% can also exclude them back? Even if they do not want to?
I think that people should be able to have social groups for specific demographic and also that it's not right to only grant that ability to certain demographics and not others.

The big problem comes in something like FFT where OCD compels me to master every job with every character.
Oh man, systems where mastering a job/class grants an ability or something that can be used with other jobs/classes definitely triggers the obsessive need to min/max in me hard.

i like have options within set roles

so the thief can become a backstabbing rogue or a pickpocket or a swordfighter kind of thing.
Yeah, when it comes to traditional RPGs I think this is my favorite system. The best combo of set archetypes and party customization adding to replayability.

I'm asking for these examples that you are drawing this comparison against.
Well there's your problem, I didn't compare anything to any examples.

Ah yes all the "no cis allowed" trans-friendly businesses and events.
Do you not think that somebody should be allowed to make a club for trans and non-binary people?

Where are the bars that only have trans people allowed in them?
It seems like you failed in reading what I posted.

I have a hard time believing someone has genuine empathy for poor people when they're driving a Bugatti.
Yeah, there is definitely a point where somebody who claims to be in favor of wealth distribution moves into big ol' hypocrite territory and parking a car that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars at your house that costs millions of dollars is well beyond that point.
The only reason somebody should lose their right to vote is being convicted of a crime directly related to abuse of the voting system. Otherwise even people in prison should be able to vote.
When I was in my 20's the husband of a woman I was sleeping with set up a trap to jump me, hit me in the back of the head three times with a metal pipe and then broke my wrist twisting the pipe around trying to keep me from taking it from it. The woman refused to testify against him so everything was dismissed.
I don't have a problem with somebody having a club for trans people so I can't have a problem with somebody having a club for cis people.

That would be you assuming what's going on in threads, not seeing.

... it's not even a take. Just how words work.
Not straight + not straight = straight is how words work?
Dungeater posted...
no they aren't
What is your secret for seeing what goes on in threads without clicking on them? That would be real useful for CE browsing.

Like if a male bisexual and female bisexual get married it's still a straight wedding.
"A wedding where neither participant is straight is still a straight wedding" is an...odd take.

Eh, he's knowingly cryptobros with full on White nationalists and at best doesn't care that they have those beliefs, at worst agrees with them.

Oh, we're playing games instead of addressing the issue as an adult, and since you as a conservative have no moral issue with lying you can pretend it stops there - no reason to be concerned.
You say I have no issue lying yet here you are once again lying about me being a conservative despite me repeatedly asking you to stop repeating that lie. I am not a conservative.

The recent court decision did not in any way ban IVF treatments. You will not find me disagreeing that Republicans are short sighted and wrong when it comes to the laws they are trying to pass regarding life beginning at conception but I have not seen any of them opposing or trying to outlaw IVF treatments.

Lets start with 125 of them, including the current Speaker of the House.

A bill to cement "life begins at conception" into law is not opposition to IVF.

Why are religious people against IVF?
The overwhelming majority of them aren't.
Tyranthraxus posted...
They are instructing people to express support for IVF while banning it on the paperwork where it actually matters. That's called lying.
What do you mean "banning it on the paperwork?" Where or by whom has IVF been banned?
Torgo posted...
You heard about that recent court decision, yeah?
The recent court decision is not candidates opposing IVF. This memo is telling candidates to express their support of IVF treatments, so unless there have been candidates who have opposed IVF treatments then it's not telling anybody to lie.
What candidates have been against IVF treatments?
His statement and attitude are ridiculous and wrong, but also phone numbers are not secret protected information.
Even if the guy isn't struggling and it was purely about wanting TF2 bucks, who gives a shit. People sell animals all the time. There's no need to find a justification for it because it wasn't something wrong to begin with.

People should not be in politics that long. It should not a career path. Its a public service.

Even newly elected people should only stay temporarily to give new younger people a voice.
You're just repeating your stance, not displaying how it isn't short sighted. Please give some examples of other areas in life where you feel it's best that nobody is allowed to have long term experience at the job. Do you prefer that doctors are only allowed to practice for eight years? If you need a lawyer, are you going to find the most recent graduate from law school you can? Engineers are only allowed to design three buildings and then they're out?
