You can still play FFXI in 2024 officially on PC. Just don’t need the PS2.

The entire greentext is about OP going out of their way to look as threatening as possible while still having plausible deniability. Like… Your position goes against the OPs intent.

Shortsighted. The real fear here is that you’ll use it at the wrong time and waste it’s potential, so you save it for the perfect opportunity…

Unfortunately, you never know when you missed it and the potion is never used.

If that’s the definition of ownership we’re going with, does the fact that I can sell my steam account mean I do actually own every game on it regardless of DRM? Also, does a lack of a demand for a game degrade your ownership?

Long term isolation can lead us to amthropomorphising things and sometimes even hallucinating them to be alive. I’m positive this much thought was put into it. Definitely!

Not when your door is frozen shut. I wrote another comment detailing my personal struggle as a second shift worker during the polar vortex in -40 degree weather. The guideline was five minutes before you began to risk serious damage, and that was about the length of my walk through the lot. Have you tried opening a car frozen shut by a literal sheet of ice while standing on another sheet of ice while your joints are already starting to stiffen from the cold despite the layers of winter clothing you’re wearing? Remote start stopped being a luxury for me when the Midwest winters started getting deadly cold.

Counterpoint: During the polar vortex everyone was told that staying outside in the -40 or lower temperatures for more than five minutes risked frost bite. I worked 2nd shift so I was getting out dead of night at the coldest time, walking to the back of the lot to a car covered in a sheet of ice that simply did not allow me to even open the door to physically start it. That’s a 4-5 minute walk already to a car that I can’t open, who knows how long to chip away ice I can’t see, sometimes can’t even reach leading to struggling with the door using brute force trying to get leverage standing on icy pavement just to FINALLY enter my car, which is still -40 inside.

Or I could have had remote start and skipped the potentially lost fingers. Thank goodness I had coworkers who started staying behind to help those that didn’t.

The electoral college is just DEI legislation for Rebublicans since they can’t win by popularity.

I don’t need practice. I can do it fine. I just do not want to.

So, to be clear, are you saying that stealing from a corporation is equally as bad as raping someone?

This and the camera lingering on the mouse peets had me uncomfortable.

“no backup style” hits just right.

Happy for you!

Should probably mark this NSFW because that outfit is sheer enough to see some nipple.

Yep, it’s all about the framing.

My wife is both bipolar and autistic and Musk is just as unfathomable to her as he is to me. The two things clash in some regards but his shittiness is his own.

I’m curious then, and this is not a value judgment. This is a genuine question to understand the perspective. Is the threat of getting abused in jail the only thing keeping you from breaking the law? If you could guarantee no consequences, would you start murdering? Personally, things wouldn’t change for me. Just like I don’t need god as a moral authority, I don’t need law to want to be beneficial to my community.

She’s just making sure to floss after eating c:

Can’t help either of them if I let myself die to one.
