Really? I'm completely unsurprised he drowned in a hot tub. I figured that or overdose. He's been a mess for a while.

Ring-a-ding-ding, baby, what a way to go.

I wouldn't be terribly surprised. I grew up in Geneva, but I lived in Oviedo when I was in high school.

I've lived in central Florida my entire life.

When I was starting at a new job I mentioned that I grew up in Geneva. The person I was chatting with were curious and asked what it was like growing up in Europe. I responded that if I was raised in Europe I'd never live in Florida. Geneva, FL is a fucking armpit.

which should be proportional to the amount of times the game is downloaded

I have a 500GB SSD and >300 games. Do you have any idea how often I uninstall and reinstall games? Even smaller Indy games?

Imo, despite the bugs and sometimes because of them, they're really fun games.

I have some Garfield comics I can send you. Might be more your speed.

I used to read shonen jump when I was a child and I remember reading the debut of the English translation when it came out. I fell off anime and didn't start watching it again until a few years ago.

My mind was fucking blown that they were still making new episodes. It wasn't even a spin off, it's the same show.

Eta: when I say "child" I meant I was 8 or 9. I turned 30 last month.

That's not ironic. They're authoritarians. I very much doubt that they're against forcing people to be collectivists.

Alcoholic here. Super bowl ads are toxic. All hail the protective ad blocker.

Not all bigotry is racist. I don't think mocking Islam is bigoted, but holy fuck can it be sometimes.

I'm trans and asexual. It would be insane for me to take a stance against people having sex. I don't enjoy it and the machinations surrounding it confuses me. However, I don't care that people have sex even though I don't understand it.

Turns out a lot of Americans don't love freedom. They love only their freedom, which is corrupted in my opinion.

Eta: "I'm having trouble thinking of anything more free than waking up a man and going to sleep a woman."

I didn't read this correctly the first time and now I'm moved. That happened to me, it did feel like I was set free.

I don't think so, I don't identify as one, at least. I consider myself a leftist.

I believe in collectivism, but I oppose authoritarianism.

Most right-leaning individuals are not racist homophobic dick-wads, they’re not waving the confederate flag, and they don’t want to vote for Trump or Desantis or whatever degenerate asshole is up on that podium next.

That has not been the impression they give me when I've had disagreements with the right wing people who I know. If you bring up any of the horrible shit the people they support do, they'll just shrug and say "well, I can't vote for x, they're a Democrat. It's not really a big deal anyways"

I'm also curious what you think racism is. I know a lot of racist Democrats, too.

Go out there and meet some people. We’re all humans and it would be a lot easier to solve our problems if we were in this together.

I think this is naive. That sentiment is collectivistic. Right wing politics is vehemetly individualistic. They'd just call you a communist and ignore anything you'd have to say. They don't want to solve problems, they want only their problems to be solved.
