I'm not. I'd rather the cruel and awful people get routed so the rest of us can go on and start picking up the pieces. Why do all the rest of us deserve going down with the very worst of us?

It's gotta be a copypasta, the format seems very similar to that one about TES Oblivion, with the person asking for rumors at a bar and being told a guy went missing in the mountains or whatever. Been a while since I loaded up a stalker game, but the "it's encrypted so don't go snooping" bit I think is actual game dialog, no random person would say this.

On my way to work, there's a house I always pass with an "autistic child" sign, a yellow square sign, next to the road. I just feel offended seeing it. Even if the individual in question could be low functioning, inattentive, actually at risk of walking into the street or something, that sign has probably been there past their childhood into adulthood, and a sign to announce your child's autism to drivers is just... something else.

I feel the same way, my block list is massive. The app I use to browse, the lemmy version of Boost, also has a word filter option too, which isn't on the desktop browser interface (I don't think), so I can block names of certain people and current event incidents I'm not interested in seeing any more, without needing to block communities or users. It only works when the post actually has the words in the title, so ironic memes slip through all the time, but its better than nothing.

I think I read before that it's actually made by some/all of the people who worked on terrafirmacraft, but then again maybe I'm misremembering that detail. Too lazy to look it up again.

I can't interact with politics in a level-headed way, I just word-blocked the current incident and all the politics servers. It sucks not to know what's going on but I can't trust myself, I'll just get emotional and make a fool of myself. Political memes that don't use any of those words still come up, but at least it's less.

I use emoji constantly on other platforms, specifically discord and steam. Like, I basically replace all my sentence-ending punctuation with doofy faces. But I don't like using default unicode emoji, they suck. And I also generally don't feel comfortable using emoji around strangers anyway.

Seafood is great, as long as you live near a coast. I think that gives a better chance that that "fishy" smell and taste is not overwhelming, because if that's what you don't like about it, I'm pretty sure it mostly shouldn't be that way, I think it tends to be more mild the fresher they are. When in-land stores and restaurants import fish, it could be longer between catch and cooking than a coastal place.

Or you just don't like any seafood and nothing will change your mind, also valid.

Cheaper development budgets, no room for QA, rushed out the door; still sold for 70 bucks.

A number of indie devs have even gone so far as to beg people to pirate their games over buying keys on G2A, in some cases even uploading their own cracked copies of their games to pirate sites. If a key was in fact stolen, which sometimes they aren't, but sometimes they are, the devs are liable for the credit card charge back, not the thief. Also, stolen game codes get rescinded, so the end buyer might not even get to keep the game anyway. Only winners are the thief, and G2A themselves.
