I've considered getting on medication, even very recently, but I'm typically able to keep my shit under control most of the time these days. I think years back before I learned how to handle stuff, meds would have been really good for me.

It just depends, a lot of people are on it and don't need it, and a lot of people it helps.

Don't look at meds as a way to keep things under control, look at them as a way to ease a burden on you. It's not whether you need them or not, but whether they'd help.

I wish I could learn how to slow my brain down without medication. Some nights my thoughts race so fast that I cant get to sleep for hours.

Look into mindful meditation, it's something I try to do every morning and night, and it has honestly helped so much.

That, and controlled breathing exercises from meditation can be done at any time in your day to kind of slow things down.

Meditation is seriously underrated, the only caveat is that you HAVE to practice it. It's like any other skill, and if you only try meditating when you need it, it's not going to be nearly as effective. Dedicate a few minutes a day to meditation.

So educate him here and now.

No, because that's not the point. The point is that you shouldn't be going around claiming something is potentially dangerous when you've done zero research on it. At that point, your ignorance isn't the problem, you are.

i've used cdkeys for years, albeit unaware that the codes were bought using stolen credit card info. however, i've never had anything i've bought from them revoked later on, and i buy a shit load of games


This.

First I've ever heard about this stolen codes thing. Always assumed they were bulk buys sold on.

Some are, but there are a lot of keys from stolen cards on there, and both they and G2A do next to nothing to fight the issue.

Thought maybe your personal life was down the shitter. Or mental health. I know the times I've had a hard time I'm sometimes way different on here. I can even tell myself that I am. Can't imagine what other posters have thought at times.

Nah. I've been focusing on my posting and behavior and being less argumentative actually, largely by just not engaging with or writing off problem posters lol.

What happened again that lead to the ruling that police were not required to help?

Basically, a woman reported that her ex husband, who she had a restraining order on, had taken the kids and taken them to(iirc) Disneyland. The police didn't follow up on it, and shortly after the man arrived at the station, opened fire, and was killed, with the kids dead in his truck.

The cops acted wrongly but opening them up to legislation would have caused so many issues, and they made the ruling in general, rather than ruling that those cops did right.

They did, and it's a reasonable ruling.
Not when police claim their motto is to protect and serve when they aren't obligated to do either.

Except that isn't what they ruled. They ruled that officers can't be sued for using discretion. Without that, officers would have to treat every claim with seriousness.

And technically, they didn't rule in a broad sense, they ruled they aren't obligated to enforce a restraining order.

Ruling how you want would mean good cops facing lawsuits without having done wrong.

No, the SC didn't rule police have no duty to stop a crime. No, they didn't rule a person can resist arrest up to and including lethal force. No, they didn't make whatever stupid ruling you think they did.

I doubt they'll remove the product from your account. You're probably just buying shit that was bought with stolen credit cards, not actually physically stolen codes.

Yeah and once the charges on the stolen cards are reversed the publishers will revoke the keys

Which costs the dev more than if they'd just pirated the game.

Now, has his attempt at comedy gone stale? Probably, but I can still get a few cheap chuckles out of most of their videos.

The creator thinks they're real, legitimate criticisms.

CS used to be pretty decent by pointing out legitimate movie errors along with silly pedantic stuff into the video, but now it's just ALL silly, pedantic drivel.

That and pointing out "plot holes" that make it clear he didn't pay attention. And he thinks the silly, pedantic drivel is legitimate criticism.

You don't need story. You also don't not need story. You just need to be good.

Also, From games have plenty of world building and lore.

I'd argue nothing is needed to make a game good, as long as the total package makes up for where it lacks.
