I'm gonna try to speak on this in the least mean way possible. I think the issue with the choice for me primarily was I am a black dude who went to art school. I am hypothetically someone who got killed in that tornado. My view on this, simply it felt like a very white choice. That did not consider the actual ramifications or what that meant for the people of this town or what it said about the two characters both on a emotional level or the actual practical ramifications of either scenario. Nor do i think creating a choice like that really helps either of them. It says nothing and you either let a young lady die which sucks. Or says nothing and two white women let an entire town die and an entire town and drive off. Which to me are two very different choices that should have been unrelated or woven together in way that made more sense and didn't feel like flagrant malicious disregard

What emboldens my point is the reaction to the sequel. On this very website. White people being diet racist because the protagonists were latino. I go off in that thread , you can still find it presumably. And while the developers cannot force people to view their art in a specific way , for me it paints a picture of what people got out of that game. Not so much a coming of age story filled with drama , romance and queer self discovery. Rather specifically that for the white audience, at least that's the interpretation of some of lis2's most vocal detractors

It is a very white choice that disregards the greater context of the decision being made. And ultimately undermines both choices leaving us with two very unsatisfying endings. That doesn't say anything particularly interesting at the end of it.

And I say this as someone who enjoys these games, who thought chloe while annoying at times is a fun character who i didn't want to die

Why can't people realize that the trolley problem is white morality, dontnod is just another dev complicit in puttting down marginalized people with supernatural storms.

I'm not sure if you're interested, but in a previous post, I went into length on some issues with PES about China's poverty alleviation programs.

Well, I've already apologized for the harsh tone I used at the start, but if this conversation still ends with a Westerner who can't read Chinese trying to educate me that 'Socialism ain't sunshine and rainbows,' then there's really nothing else I can say.

“I actually already talked to you with civility, I’m just reminding you by pointing it out to your PES alt.”

Got banned for harassing a few users and the mods and then perma'd for spamming a bunch of porn through the appeal form apparently.

Currently being a franchise busybody on Reddit and "wikipedia veteran" on Twitter.

Apparently forced their way into adminning the Silent Hill wiki too. Between them and the circumcision incident, that site has a history.

Why don't any of these people just move if they don't want to be where they are?  I don't mean that rhetorically, I truly don't understand why they just sit around and complain about their life where they live and don't do anything about it.  It really isn't as hard as they think it is.  I've done it.

severe cannabis use disorder patient here. I've talked about it extensively here before and don't wish to unpack all of it again, but cannabis has ruined my life and been impossible for me to quit for more than 3-6 months at a time.

What are the super high potency carts? The kinda weed vapes that hold 7mg of oil?

lmao

the carts I legally buy from the dispensary are 1g carts at 95% THC and I can sip it down in 3 days or less just to function, and that's 950mg of pure THC in 3ish days

Theyre highly addictive but it's too late for me

https://www.resetera.com/threads/a-growing-number-of-marijuana-users-in-the-u-s-are-experiencing-severe-health-problems-article.1000713/page-5#post-129755946

I only got into weed on a regular in my late 20's, heck I dabbled in LSD before even getting into weed so the "it's a gateway drug" bullshit is nothing I ever perscribed to.

I smoke a few joints once a week, that's it unless I've got a super quiet weekend or I've booked time off work so can afford the days off feeling monged out.

As other's have said, moderation is the key and doing too much of anything is really bad for you. I was always perplexed to those who do it everday. Had a friend/ work wife who would smoke it everyday and I could never wrap my head round that kind of daily use.

Thats because it's addictive and horrible for mental health at the doses you can buy now. Your work wife is probably addicted like me.

These topics are always frustrating because ignorant people who haven't heard my story or read up on the absolutely damning clinical evidence mounted against cannabis today, in 2024, just leave low-effort thoughts about what addicts and daily consumers "should" be doing. people just parrot the same tired ableist "moderation" argument about this chemical and we learn nothing and go nowhere. As a clinical researcher that in my own time decided to learn up on the psychiatry literature on cannabis, it is dire. But go off, those of you teasing and indignifying human beings that have unfortunately run into a substance that may be hard to shake off for some. Like me.

Yeah he did have mental health issues. It wasn't a slight against him as it can be treated as a means to escape what was eating him up. From my perspective I just couldn't envision myself relying on it in my way but that's just me.

Last I checked with him, he is using it less and less which is good.

im currently in a relapse period and I am so angry that I can't shake off cannabis. It has destroyed my brain's sleep and hunger centers and my addiction psychiatrist said it can take up to 6-12 months to clear the THC effects off the brain from daily use. Trying to go sober, I don't sleep or eat more than 400 kcal/day for multiple weeks in a row. My sleep and hunger mechanisms in my brain are completely deteriorated. This last attempt at going sober, the withdrawal was so bad I gave in again. Last time I broke sobriety, I cried from the happiness the high provided me: hunger, savor, and the first hours of sleep in a week.

I'm really sorry to hear that, my friend.

I wasn't trying to make those who rely on it feel bad, I guess it's something that I don't have a lot of experience with, that kind of addiction. I live in Manchester and do see a lot of the Spice epidemic running through the homeless, it's fucking tragic to see. If I came across as ignorant, I apologise.

It's okay no hard feelings and no worries regardless. I'm just taking a moment to vent and this thread happens to be on-topic and relevant to the main challenge in my day to day: my anxiety and depression spells tied to vaping THC that is almost impossible for me to quit longer than 3-6 months. But I'm going to try again.

I thought to myself, what could possibly be more Islamophobic than you making fun of my girthy but short penis.  I prayed to Allah asking for guidance, humdulluh, shumdullah, hummunuh hummunuh hachi mama, hachi mama, alluoaluhuh and he said "nothing my son.  The perception of a "chode" often stems from societal expectations rather than anatomical reality. A penis with greater girth relative to its length can still fall within the average range for both dimensions."

Why don't you take a fucking step back

[Echelon]

Idiot leftists have perpetually needed to get off on championing and trying to "protect" the virtue of minorities to feel good about their otherwise purposeless lives. From my life experience, these groups have always formed a triforce of tokenism: religion, sexuality, and race. 

Blacks have always been the token minority because slavery and systemic racism creates such a compelling victim. 

For religion, it seems to have shifted over the last two decades with atheism actually taking a spotlight for brief periods because of the perceived persecution, but probably due to 9/11 and how it tied to another racial minority, Islam won out despite being the religion of violent animals.

For sexuality, it was gay/lesbian since the AIDS epidemic and leading into the 21st century, but as soon as they resolved AIDS, made gay sex acceptable, and legalized gay marriage it seems to have been replaced with autogynephilia, i.e. the virgin losers dressing as women to find sexual relief in the only venue open to them.

So now you have the triforce of Blacks/Trans/Islam who are the tokens of the perpetually aggrieved white betas on the internet looking for a cause to fight for because they themselves have no real problems except those of their own making. 

Then you couple that with this being a uniquely American thing that's bleeding over into Europe to a degree, so all of their perceptions of these people are based of the western experience of the poor New York muslim who got yelled at after 9/11 and not the German Turk or Swedish Arab who refuse to assimilate into the culture that pulled them out of their destitute shitholes and gave them decent lives, all the while mocking the same gays that are obsessed with Ms. Marvel and the like.

Prolly ignoring you because you're fucking full of it. You have an addictive personality and in no way is your marijuana "addiction" representative of reality.

What probably happens is in-between replases he is getting pilled out and they take him off the benzos so he goes right back to the pot.

GTFO of here with blaming high doses of THC for your problems.

If you want to stay sober you're gonna have to stay completely sober and work the program.

That's the problem. That's not the diversity the evidence points to. It's the opinion and experience part that's important. However, it's just easier to say, "We've got a black disabled transbian on the board, were doing diversity right! Now we're gonna get some profit!"

He's the right kind of stupid to mix medications and not check if they interact with any underlying conditions or other medications.

Same with the HRT pushers. Just push it on people and explain NONE of the serious risks. I still fail to see how it's a "life saving" thing.

29 medications? No fucking way

I'm exaggerating.. it was over 10 though.  But that's ordinary for someone who's worked their fingers to the bone for years in a preeminent science career, 4 of which were at a Fortune 50.

No offense but i'm not listening to any forum posters over well researched works to hell and back by independent people dawg.

It's not just that dawg or else a lot of people would be up, not just them.

When I said highlight the point I was referring to the broader point of needing state intervention dawg.

That vibe was already there dawg as the thread is about cheap EVs.

I'm speaking comparatively dawg, do you want to start comparing social safety nets and homeless rates to the states or what?

We do not believe you have to harm minorities for the better of the majority dawg.

Same with the HRT pushers. Just push it on people and explain NONE of the serious risks. I still fail to see how it's a "life saving" thing.

It has a lot to with specializations in the medical field too. Everyone is focused on a single issue or organ or whatever.

I took a drug and it worked but I had severe side effects (turned out later they forgot to prescribe the stomach protectors) and the answer to that was: uuh well treatment was succesful so you have to pick that up with your general practitioner. This is a not so common side-effect so we don't really know much about it. My work is done. See ya!

From what I read about it trans care also seems focused on dealing with symptoms and trying to achieve "succesful" treatments that are measurable. Which means, someone prescribes some drugs to deal with anxiety or depression or whatever. Anti-depressants greatly affect your decision making abilities which is something no one ever brings up. Yay depression cured. While the patient is taking these drugs the next person on the list neatly cuts off the boobs or balls without too much bleeding so good job everybody. Once these depressed teens sober up later in life they find out well, things aren't so great.

29 medications though... your liver could never cope.
