I wonder if anyone ever got blocked for being figuratively being a nazi.

TFW you still find use in a bootable Ubuntu 11.10 x86 CD. This fucking OS install disc is almost a decade old, and I still use it every once in a while to troubleshoot someone's system.

Carpa demon is probably the worst boss fight in that game. As far as I'm concerned, it goes against the core mechanic the game is trying to teach you: dodging, considering you have practically no room to actually dodge attacks.

I wonder... will 2021 be our savior year, or is it all just a trap?

I don't know what "fictional social media project" is supposed to mean, but I wouldn't be surprised to find out in a few years that twitter is/was doing social experiments on it's users like facebook did.

Do we have proof of twitter as a company being involved in anything so far? No. But users would do well to remain vigilant, cause plenty of fucked up shit has already happened on these platforms.

@lottev
Don't know if twitter itself does these kinds of manipulations (although I wouldn't be surprised), but I guarantee you that bots and fake accounts are definitely being used by private entities to inflate posts for various reasons.

I've been called lots of things. Trans-woman is a new one. Interesting...

@colonelj
I'm perfectly fine with people not wanting to date those kinds of women. But I still it's necessary to make these expectations clear when you start dating someone. Otherwise you're punishing people for something they had no way of knowing they did wrong. It's kinda cruel. Imagine spanking a child for eating candy before dinner when you never told them they're not supposed to spoil their appetite before a meal.

2020 is the ultimate overly attached girlfriend.

@colonelj
You mean if you cheated on the partner prior to the current one? I see no reason for the current one to break up because of that. But I would understand and expect the current partner to be apprehensive about the possibility you'd cheat on her too, especially if you had kept that a secret.

As for kids, again, it's not the having prior children that is problematic, it's the hiding of this fact. Because if someone doesn't want to be with someone who has children, makes this clear from the start, and the partner in question admits to having those children from the beginning, then the relationship is likely to end before it even starts, avoiding all heartbreak.

But again, any such expectations, whether it's that the partner doesn't have prior children, or had a more puritan lifestyle or whatever else you can think of, these expectations need to be stated clearly at the start. Otherwise you can't be mad because she didn't met certain expectations she didn't know you had.

New Years resolution for 2021:
I want to travel more than 2000km by bike. I've managed to do 1500km last year, so it should be achievable.

@icedquinn
Not really disobedience as far as I can tell. The lockdown rules don't stipulate you can't use fireworks. Just that we can't be traveling late at night and can't gather in large groups of people. So no parties. But there's nothing wrong in firing a few rockets from your home.

@colonelj
If they made a deal about being honest about past sexual encounters, I'd get why he's upset that she kept this a secret. But otherwise, you can't punish her for something that happened before you guys met. Again, if someone is picky, and wants a puritan partner, this needs to be stated up front, and only afterwards do they get to dump their ass if they lied about their history.
