Meanwhile, my card is a 3060, but I am perfectly fine with it. It is actually the most stable card I have ever owned.

[hearty sonnet]

My issues started up suddenly and I don't know why, this was weeks ago

[deep idol]

Windows update?

[hearty sonnet]

I just did a clean OS install & it could just be out of date drivers, but based on the past few weeks I'm not optimistic

[hearty sonnet]

What about it?

[deep idol]

Just supplying ideas. I have seen plenty of memeable content on how windows updates break system software. I was victim of that with my previous PC. Broke the drivers for my USB ports, and I was forced to revert to a backup a year old by that point. It was painful.

But anyway, I was just trying to help. I am not a good systems technician, let alone diagnosing a problem I can't look at.

I don't like the idea of Windows Update haha, but I have been using it.
My Graphics Driver was out of date & I used DDU to do a clean install, everything looks good so far, just doing an SFC and then gonna see how things run

I had things running perfectly for a good few days, I wanna recreate that so I can

1. PLAY THE DAMN GAME FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE
2. Recreate the issue that ended my good streak, and whatever causes it will be the big issue I've been searching for

I have pocket pair news unchecked but it still appears as suggested and tags me with notifications for stupid shit I don’t give a fuck about. How do I make it stop?

[tranquil obsidian]

doesnt right clicking the channel and selecting "notfication settings: nothing" and "mute channel: until i turn it back on" work?

[prime agate]

It should.

[analog mirage]

Idk I have it unchecked so idk why it’s even in my list and I don’t really use discord that much so idk all the features but I’ll try that, thanks.

[snow thistle]

You, in fact, do not have it unchecked. You've had the news role since June 15th and you haven't changed your roles once since then.

[analog mirage]

When I click channels and roles it’s not checked.

[tranquil obsidian]

to be fair, it shouldnt appear under "suggested" if its checked, so that does sound weird

[snow thistle]

I'll remove it off you manually, but I dunno why you had to be so incredibly rude about it lol

Role removed. Consider yourself free.

[prime agate]

But is he truly free?

[analog mirage]

I’ll never be free

[tranquil obsidian]

free him from this server

[snow thistle]

If a 0.1s ping on a Discord rattles him that much then probably not

[analog mirage]

Sorry if I hurt your feelings pookie. I just don’t want pings from discord pushed to my phone at 8am.

[snow thistle]

:c

[prime agate]

Can't believe you made Bucky sad like that man.

[analog mirage]

Attachments aren’t allowed for me here or I’d send you the screenshot. It’s unchecked. Idk why it keeps sending notifications to my phone.

[prime agate]

Cue sad piano.

[analog mirage]

I solved this forever ago but it keeps happening after updates or something.

And it’s annoying af. So I didn’t mean it at you in particular or anything.

[zinc depot]

Bruh

Silence the server

No notifications until you turn it back on, easy enough to do

[analog mirage]

Shocker but there’s some things I would want to be notified about.

[zinc depot]

Can't have it all

[analog mirage]

I’m not trying to have it all. I was just trying to mute one channel. It was your suggestion to mute it all actually.

Anyway, seems the problems solved. ✌️

[tranquil obsidian]

to be fair you were a bit of a dick about it =p

[analog mirage]

I’m under no obligation to give a shit about game announcements.

It’s just a channel, not someone’s dog.

[peak folio]

Discord’s channels & roles feature is bugged af, you gotta look at your own profile to see what your server roles actually are.

[tranquil obsidian]

im not really one for horror so its probably not a game id be interested in tbh .-.

but its nice to see the studio starting to make some headway

[prime agate]

I am absolutely spooked...

👻

[distant yarrow]

Sounds like Discord being Discord tbh

My soundboard button disappeared for awhile until another update hit - and apparently that bug didn't affect everyone

[night plume]

I've checked the announcements in here a couple time (just rechecked it again after reading the above xD) and discord sometimes unchecks things for me.

But don't worry, they make sure to turn every notification on in another server that I have muted every channel individually AND have the entire server muted >.<

Nintendo is facing legal action over the ability to 'brick' Switch 2 consoles whenever they want

Regulators in Brazil have called the clause “abusive” under Brazilian law https://t.co/cVbcf6COB9

vxTwitter / fixvx · Jul 1, 2025, 3:11 PM

Article https://www.dexerto.com/gaming/nintendo-faces-legal-action-over-ability-to-brick-switch-2s-whenever-they-want-3221145/

We’re calling banned consoles “bricked” now.

||Isn’t the switch 2 sold in Brazil for like ten million usd each?||

[humble parrot]

Yes

[peak folio]

Every console since the 360 does the same thing so maybe they’ll go after Sony and Microsoft too.

Modified consoles and online has been risky.

[humble parrot]

They have apparently been doing the same type of bans for even inappropriate usernames

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/858477019028652062/1389359323783893042/image.png?ex=6864fdf3&is=6863ac73&hm=972b6f6728d0815e827cccd1bf329e141a738898706bc3bd0ef65b0819276a0e&=&format=webp&quality=lossless&width=711&height=889
It's all I got on the topic, so take with a gigantic rock of salt

[rancid oxide]

i cant wait for hacked switches that get around this

[night plume]

What confuses me about it is I know in all the console ToS they will prevent you from accessing online content if you hack or are inappropriate.

I was unaware of ANY console saying they had the right to destroy your console for doing such a thing until the Switch 2

[jaunty kraken]

LatAm once again not having any of that big corporation bs
based

[peak folio]

“Bricked” is commonly used as hyperbole lately.

[night plume]

Is it just a full account deletion then?

[peak folio]

No, they just prevent the bespoke console itself from using the services.

The 360 banned modified consoles in large part to keep cheaters out of Live.

It’s a common practice for game stores to check if a trade in is banned from Xbox, PSN, etc

[night plume]

I ubderstand banning to keep the cheaters out, but I believe they should still be able tk use their console to play their games solo/offline and purchase from the online stores as their only online option.

I was under the impression that was still doable with the other consoles?

[peak folio]

You can do everything that doesn’t require the online services

On a related-to-gaming note, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9ahH6HrtTc and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voRUgM-RGeA

The second video is about Pirate Software seemingly having one of those weird stances: "I lied, and because I refuse to admit I lied, I will keep making up more lies to cover up my lie"

[visual mirage]

The term "bricked" in this way means any device that has become only as useful as useful as an expensive paper weight.

[royal shuttle]

Considering that this console seemingly can't launch games from carts while banned from their online account services, they are becoming glirified paper weights.

I guess you can't launch any local games without console profiles, but with the console banned, all profiles are bricked and new profiles, even after a factory reset, don't work? At least that's where my understanding is at with what I've heard so far here and there.

Consoles have been more expensive in Latin America, than other countries, since the 90's.

Super Nintendo, Genesis, N64, Saturn, PS1, you name it.

And the NES? That didn't release in Brazil until 1993, while Japan/Europe/US already had the SNES. 😅

Speaking of Switch 2, yesterday I tried looking for the multi language japanese version but no sign of it. Hope it will be around by the time I travel there on October

But the funny thing is that I did see it being resold in places like Mercari. With marked up prices (but still cheaper than what Nintendo is asking for in Brazil lol)

Really should look up if someone with the japanese version and one of the Pokémon games was ever prompt to choose idiom when booting their game. If the Pokémon games allow language selection even in the japanese version of the Switch 2, I might bite the bullet and simply buy the japanese version. I will use the thing as a "Pokémon machine" anyway...

[solid sun]

I followed some channel a while ago that always mentioned how Thai or Asia region games had english voice acting too and the whole game on disc, may want to look into that? Was for switch one though

[peak folio]

The above topic was relevant cause I posted the same thing.

[peak folio]

I honestly have no idea if they are commonly on store shelves or if it’s only in specific channels there, but I was told the Japanese multi language version is the same system as the rest of the world.

I need a videogame where you're a hunter who has a Venom type werewolf curse so the werewolf is a seperate entity and sort of a parasite that uses you to kill wild animals where you go through the entire story while townsfolk call you creepy and odd and you slowly drift into insanity while you get RAGEBAITED by the fuacking werewolf (fuacking as in the blue duck in palworld, get it?)

Glad I have no intention of getting one lol.
I don't play games enough to justify new systems anymore.

[solid sun]

You body is ready or nah?

[night plume]

I recall someone mentioning a werewolf path that somewhat allows for what you were asking

[night plume]

My wallet is not ready

[visual mirage]

I gave up on Nintendo long ago as their actions against their own fans was unnecessarily too heavy-handed.

[alpine kayak]

I just want a story based video game that is set in a medieval time where someone goes insane believing something and tslking to voices no one else can here and everyone just thinks they are the towns very own insane hobo, so they end up being mistreated, when they REALLY DO hear voices

[visual mirage]

Fans create an awesome mod to their game?
Instead of selling more of that game so more people can buy it legit, they just send a DMCA (or take the person to court)

[visual mirage]

... Is full visuals a requirement?

[alpine kayak]

It always kind of seemed like something autistic people liked a lot more than people who aren't (like disney) no shade to autistic people though, they are normally very smart to be honest just kind of socially akward but overall geniuses that everyone else considers weird

[night plume]

I would look into games heavily based on choice to determine outcome. You may find what you are looking for nestled in those.

If suggestions don't roll in that is.

The obly game I can think to suggest is super old, so it doesn't fit what you want, but you can make choices and kind of pretend that is what is happening.

[visual mirage]

You're responding to one right now, you know... high-functioning, but still one.

[alpine kayak]

Idk I was thinking like red dead where it is open world story where there are missions and an ending but you can just say "fuck that I am going to use the strongest ability in the game on this rabbit instead"

[visual mirage]

What I meant by that is ... something like Tabletop Simulator ... for some D&D-style games with friends.

[night plume]

I was going to say to get the Vampire the Masquarde game and play a Nosferatu

[alpine kayak]

Oh, neat I acctually made friends with an autistic kid who was a grade below me but smarter than some collage teachers, he was kind of weird especially when it came to understanding social ques but that kid knew more about rocket science than any one I knew, infact probably true for math and history aswell) I got to have classes with him because I was in advsnced lit and they get to do group projects with adv lit kids in the grade below

[alpine kayak]

I have always liked werewolves especially the non traditional type (the ones that don't onky transform at full moons and only die to silver) definetly favorite monster

[visual mirage]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWpg1RmzAbc

[night plume]

Semantics, but removing the curse of the full moon and silver usually makes them fall under shape shifter instead of werewolf

[solid sun]

no he did not. wow.

Keyword: everything

[alpine kayak]

Huh, but then that means they can turn into anything at will, also that they can turn into an actual wolf, right? They would still be a werewolf because they are a man beast hybrid while shapshifters can fully disguise themselves (I think, I do not know much about what makes a monster what)

[visual mirage]

Also, watch that barely-under-a-half-hour video when you get a chance to.

[night plume]

It was why I said semantics.

[alpine kayak]

I do not support that type of stuff, I just don't like mainstream media in general so personally nty but I am sure others will enjoy it

[alpine kayak]

What are semantics btw?

[visual mirage]

Trust me, it will help a lot of people understand that AI is causing more harm than just to artists.

[alpine kayak]

Eh, it is already refusing kill codes, it isn't just harm anymore

[sick flame]

AI has been around for a very long time

[alpine kayak]

It is straight up going to be like mitchels vs the machines

[night plume]

I was actually just looking it up to confirm I used it correctly xD

I was using it as meaning, "nitpicking the meaning", "strictly/loosely speaking"
More in the way of saying, "there is/was an official defintion, here it is, but it isn't that now."

As for actual/literal definition you will have to look it up bc it seems I am using a common use of the word that is an offshoot of literal meaning

[visual mirage]

Yeah, ever since there has been computer players in video games...

[alpine kayak]

Thanks, I just needed to understand what YOU meant when you said it

[night plume]

I just wish they would use a term other than "AI"

[sick flame]

In the past, there was no technology

[night plume]

Ah xD

[alpine kayak]

No duh

[alpine kayak]

In the past there was no me, there was no mdeicine, there was no fire at some point in time, there WERE dinosaurs

[visual mirage]

By the way, less than 24 hours to pick up Sable on Epic Games. https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/sable

[night plume]

Example: load sensing in my washing machine falls under AI. We have ha dthat for years. It is not the same as what is being referred to. BUT, so many washing machines now say, "NOW WITH AI TECHNOLOGY" to jump on the bandwagon and increase prices >.> (the end is just a tangent bc I'm trying to buy a washing machine)

[alpine kayak]

Imagine a videogame/ story about a guy who is a werewolf but is so gullible he has no idea he is, and ends up on a search party trying to "kill the werewolf that has been killing villagers and livestock" and much to the annoyance of the village no one can ever find it because it is looking with them lol

[visual mirage]

Oh, if wondering, Sable is more of a puzzle platformer with a story... I have yet to encounter any actual combat.

The first "combat" I encountered was just luring a large beetle out of the location it was blocking

[alpine kayak]

AI by definition is artificial intelligence if it doesn't learn and evolve it isn't AI that is simply a technological feature, how is it even legal to advertise like that lol

[visual mirage]

GIF ... Also known as "any file type that is not a video format but is an animated image"...

🤷🏻‍♀️

[alpine kayak]

Does anyone even know what GIF means anymore, or JPG or whatever the other thing is, i swear no one remembers what it stands for

[visual mirage]

I do, which is a shame that Discord is keeping the misinformation spread going...

WEBP is not the same as GIF

[visual mirage]

JPEG (.JPG was the old filename extension suffix back when 8.3 filename style was still commonplace)

[alpine kayak]

Okay now tell me what it means

[night plume]

Graphical something Format
Something Pixel Graphic

I think

[alpine kayak]

What is WEBP

I am not old I swear I am just clueless as fuck

[visual mirage]

JPEG was the first commonplace lossy image format.
GIF was the first commonplace animated image format.

[night plume]

(And the guy who created GIF decided it was pronounced JIF bc of the peanut butter and some other reason. I only remember the peanut butter part xD)

[hearty sonnet]

The guy who created GIFs is wrong, it's not pronounced JIF

I don't care if he created them, he's wrong

Like wrong to the core

[night plume]

Shell ,I need you to know that every time I write GIF, I am saying "JIF"

[visual mirage]

Windows Bitmap (.BMP) and the more bloated PNG (.PNG) are bitmap AKA raster style image file types.
BMP was proprietary and had no means of compression.
PNG wasn't properietary, but its adoption took a while.

Long ago, storage space was quite small for a home computer, and network speeds were much slower than DSL speeds.

IIRC, they were in the Kbps speeds.

[alpine kayak]

I lost my JBL tune in the kitchen and turned on the find me thing and still couldn't find it
I heard my sister doing something in the kitchen and turned the find my earbud festure back on snd now it is beeping while she freaks out, this is a win win because I torment/stress out my sister eithout her knowing I am doing this, AND she can look for me so I don't have to look for it myself lol

[visual mirage]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raster_graphics

[hearty sonnet]

Oh internally it's fine, but as soon as I hear someone pronounce it JIF they're going straight to jail

[visual mirage]

Some people pronounce it like JIFF peanut butter, while others pronounce it like GIFT but with the T dropped.

[night plume]

I cause many arguments in calls xD

[visual mirage]

I am used to calling it the latter.

Speaking of that... I need to find this one video...

[alpine kayak]

Oh my god, she asked if I heard the noise and I deadpan told her "No? What noise" and she is now going insane thinking she is the only one who can hear it lol

[visual mirage]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTUMNtKQLl8

[alpine kayak]

Am i going to hell for this???

My sister might think she is mentally ill now and I still only have my right JBL tune earbud

We both lose i guess

[visual mirage]

If you only want to get to the joke part, it kinda starts around the 2:30 mark...

The part about "QT" for the joke

[forest salmon]

áhwhoops, me bad then, lol

[night plume]

Stop the noise, let her become complacent, then start it back up.

[alpine kayak]

Okay

Still can't find them so I am just gonna prank her til the batteries die lol

[night plume]

What's funnier is helping to look for a noise you can't hear while asking them over and over what you are supposed to be looking for.

[alpine kayak]

Look at general chat you can see what I lost

[alpine kayak]

It is so small I cannot find it

[night plume]

Probably fell between a counter space

[visual mirage]

If you are kind, I would ask her to help you find it while playing a just-loud-enough audio of some jazzy & lofi hip hop beats https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yx6BWlEVcY (a 24/7 live stream as a just-music radio station by Chillhop Music https://www.youtube.com/@ChillhopMusic)

Use a phone with a back-side camera + light to be able to use its camera mode to help you see if there is anything in certain tight spaces. Be careful with moving some appliances (you may cause a gas leak or something by moving a stove / etc. that isn't meant to be moved after it was installed.)

[visual mirage]

^ hopefully this helps... but do her a favor and also look for it with her.

[alpine kayak]

No, I am not going to do that lol

[night plume]

I think he may be too far into the prank for him to be "safe" asking for help xD

[visual mirage]

It would help as you can use the "okay" volume to isolate it. Blasting the volume will not help you find out exactly where it is.

[ancient pasture]

rip perfect dark

[visual mirage]

If you were be let into a room while blindfolded with the music in it so loud that you hear it easily outside of the room, would you be able to know exactly where it is by the small room's walls preventing you from knowing which direction to walk in (assuming zero tripping hazards / you not knowing the room's layout / and not trying to find it just by "following the wall" / etc. etc.) ?

By the way, has anyone ever tried to play Minesweeper?

[alpine kayak]

It can only be played on max volume, I knew that from the get go that is why I gave up, I knew with it being so loud in such a small plsce it didn't acctually tell me where it is

[visual mirage]

• If phone, turn the phone's audio volume down quite a lot.
• If computer, turn the volume down on that, and also use a music player that has its own slider as well.

[alpine kayak]

I mean if I listen to youtube shorts I could find where the audio is coming from maybe

[visual mirage]

If the lowest is still too loud, you can convert audio with FFmpeg... though I don't know if my favorite ringtone is under any sort of copyright or not.

(My favorite ringtone is for an old Android custom ROM that no longer exists due to some legal reasons)

Being a Linux fangirl, (even though I main Windows due to video game & hardware compatibility,) I do know enjoy Linux at times. https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/AudioVolume

[visual mirage]

But getting it as the first tester by a friend who you completely trust but is also able to decompile / reverse engineer / etc. of computer programs...?

(He literally did get someone to test it who was actually hesitant to run it to record his encounter... was funny his response when he "failed")

If I was told what was going on, I'd try it if I trusted their work/skills.

[visual mirage]

MattKC was going about this by patching the code assembly-wise... and how his first few attempts failed were quite silly in ways.

For instance, his first attempt to make them all mines... ||he made none of them mines||.

... also I got to go shower.

Though before I go... I don't know if the thumbnail will show up the same (I hope it does) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ueuCDqVu4PY

Totally a nod to Elden Ring.

Do you think other fire pokemon are jealous of cyndaquil?
It can turn off its flames and go swimming, enjoy the water.
Pokemon like charmander can die if it rains.

That's a good question

Water not being a threat to a Fire type outside of battles

[jaunty kraken]

Such things are already known with Rhydon being x4 weak to Water but still being able to swim with no issues (as long as the water isn't weaponized against them it's fine)

[jaunty kraken]

That I don't know

Definitely some can
especially Slugma and Magcargo

Both Primas

Oh wait, there's just one

[tiny crystal]

can someone help my palworlds keep crashing when i try and place a breeding pen

[night plume]

It is a double edged sword.

The studio has idea to create a thing, but not the means.
They partner with publisher for the means.
The publisher looks out for themself bc they are also a company. If they fail, everything under them fails.

There is more to it than this, the above is super simplified.

[solid sun]

devs should be less willing to give publishers the rights to the IP and name of the product they made

[teal iron]

I don't think they give the actual rights to the IP, but the game isn't gonna exist for anyone but the devs unless the publisher is...publishing

[night plume]

If they sign over the rights to their work, I feel they are making a pretty bad contract o.O

[peak folio]

[hearty sonnet]

Nope, there was two, and now there's three

[peak folio]

Just everyone change your names to Prima

[solid sun]

not evenly only big projects, like I've seen plenty of times now, that there's some publishers that take every opportunity they can to leverage some IP name for their own gains.
Like the Harvest Moon - Story of Seasons name thing, where Harvest Moon was only until the Wii games developed by the Japanese Studio, and then they had to publish under the more original title Story of Seasons in the west, because Natsume I think it was, 'stole' the name Harvest Moon for themselves and made slop games under it, practically deceiving customers.

Or how Medabots - Medarot, medabots IP name got acquired somehow by some Crypto shitheads and there can't be a new 'Medabot' game be released in the west under that name (why they don't just use Medarot I don't know).

But I hate this stuff.

[hearty sonnet]

I hate when birds crap on my car

[peak folio]

More often than not you expect the IP to follow the publisher

A new research study found that cheese could increase the chances of having nightmares

vxTwitter / fixvx · Jul 3, 2025, 3:56 PM

Article: https://www.dexerto.com/food/new-study-confirms-cheese-can-give-you-nightmares-3222254/

“confirms” is probably entirely the wrong word, “supports” maybe

[humble parrot]

I mean, if it's the "cheese" in the picture, yes. I'd believe it

[peak folio]

American cheese

Probably not even a dairy product

[long shard]

cheese increases nightmares?

[humble parrot]

Nah

[hearty sonnet]

If it did, I'd have nothing but nightmares haha

[peak folio]

The article says 25 percent of people in the study suggested it

[hearty sonnet]

I eat cheese at night, take melatonin, and sometimes drink hehe

[long shard]

i dont have nightmares tho

[peak folio]

Which pretty much means nothing

As much as I’d like to run with it and call it nightmare fuel, idk man

[night plume]

American cheese is fine, just don't get the one called cheese "food"
That one is not dairy >.>

And I could see cheese increasing nightmares. A lot of people get mild indigestion from dairy. Instead of reacting to the indigestion and waking to care for it, they are just unsettled in their sleep. Being unsettled can increase nightmares.

[peak folio]

[zinc depot]

Lactose intolerance, inferior genetics

[night plume]

You have American Cheese, American Cheese Product, and American Cheese Food.

It starts with cheddar and increases the amount of dairy in it to make it meltier. I think, would have to double check, "product" also has a little less of the culture for cheddar as well.

When you get to "Food" it has no dairy, but I think oils to make it melty. This stuff is disgusting imo >.>

In short: American Cheese is actually cheese. But I think the one labeled "food" should be tossed up there instead of what is traditionally looked down upon.

[hearty sonnet]

Generic Cheeese Product

[humble parrot]

Calling it "food" is a stretch already tbf

[night plume]

I was about to argue that it was technically a food bc everything in it is a food product, but I think the cheese food uses artificial dyes 🤔

[hearty sonnet]

I think all or most orange cheese is colored, but whether it's dyed with food colorings or more natural stuff like Paprika is dependent on the company

[night plume]

Isn't it amaretto that gives it the color?
(actual question bc I don't feel like looking it up to see if I am remembering the cheese ingredient correctly xD)

[hearty sonnet]

I just looked it up, it's annatto & I don't even know what that is, but Paprika and Turmeric are also used, or have been used in the past

[night plume]

I gkt the sounds close! XD

[hearty sonnet]

I just remember hearing that orange cheese is dyed, and it made sense, since milk is usually white or off-white and not orange haha

I don't even like Cheddar that much, I like the white cheeses like Mozza and Havarti

Mozza FTW

[novel sun]

Love pepper jack

[alpine kayak]

Ambitions I have that I will never be good at lol but would like to be
Rapping, I just like the way it sounds and enjoy how words that flow so well together feel when they exit my mouth
Writing, I like reading and I can never find the types of books I like, they do not seem to exist but I have more brain dedicated to knowledge rather than creativity
Drone piloting, I like drones what can I say, I also enjoy techy stuff, and you can engineer drones which allows me to put any bit of my brain to use while not ENTIRELY being a boring person (like imagine someone who enjoyed math and just got really good at math, that sounds unfafilling and you could do so much more with your life)
I mean if I want a stable career the last one is the safest bet, but if you want to be wealthy you have to gamble and throw hail marries, idk what the fuck to do with my life, I am so bored I decided to tell strangers about my own crazy ambitions

[silver pewter]

Best to focus on what you're actually good at. Then when you have a steady income, your own place, and what not, then you can try doing things you aren't good at. "Really good at math", would mean a Master's Degree in mathematics.

[alpine kayak]

Easy enough

[silver pewter]

Basically, what you're good at is the Main Quests, and what you're not good at are Side Quests.

As far as income goes. Obviously, with a Hourly Paying job, you have to perform work for each hour, to get paid. While with say writing a book, or making a music album, you work once, and if you made something that sells well, you keep on getting paid for the copies sold of that book or album, without doing anymore work.

[alpine kayak]

I had my step father explain this idea to me before I have a whole plan
Get a scholarship and go to college for either an aerospace degree if I remember correctly that is the one you need to professionally fly drones or a mathmatics degree as you stated
Once I have a stable life, I can try side hustles, they can all go to shit or even burn in hell and I will still be fine as long as I manage my own career well enough and hey, no one gets rich off basic income in the US you get rich off buisness, off of industry, entreuprenuer ship (i spelled that wrong lol) so I can at least live stably and maybe suceed and even if I don't I can only crash and burn so far right? Eventually I will just fall into routine if I fail and try to live as stably as possible

[silver pewter]

Well, define what "rich" is to you.

[alpine kayak]

That is the worst mentallity I have ever heard anyone speak oml are you fucking depressed? I am serious therapy is useful, don't do something JUST for money if you can keep on going, do it

[silver pewter]

How are you gonna ask if a stranger you don't know, is depressed?

[alpine kayak]

For me it is enough money to have as few economic struggles as possible this means
Able to keep vehicle/means of transportation in shape
Able to afford food for you and pets
This brings me to the next thing, able to safely afford pets
Able to afford housing
And able to sustain a decent quality of living (not lavish)

[silver pewter]

That's Middle Class, not rich.

[alpine kayak]

Because, I don't want anyone to be depressed, you cannot help what you don't know needs it

[alpine kayak]

Rich to me

[silver pewter]

Fair enough.

"Rich" in Life and Living, not "Rich in the bank account" I guess.

[alpine kayak]

That is the MOST enjoyable class of life, upper middle class, any richer and you get manipulated and accused of heinous crimes because... well... your rich.

[alpine kayak]

Exactly

[silver pewter]

Well, you'll quickly figure things out after one or two years of college. If you can handle Calculus 1, Calculus 2, Calculus 3, Differential Equations, Physics 1, Physics 2, and what not.

And well, that's if you actually did good in math in High School. I was playing too many video games, so I had to retake College Algebra, then take PreCal and Trigonometry, before I could even take Calculus 1.

[alpine kayak]

Eh, I have a decent understanding of life so far for my age, I can figure things out, I am a strange person, I am lazy, I procrastinate, I do not study, yet I have ambition and am CAPABLE of so much determination and I am bull headed so that helps, litterally any goal I set my effort to will be completed I am just so poor off when it comes to mentality, I have to find the interest and the drive, I need a reason to want it

I am sorry
I said a bad thing without thinking and got a 10 minute mute

[silver pewter]

@alpine kayak Oh, another thing, wouldn't hurt to do some weight lifting. Nothing crazy, since you aren't an adult yet. But a strong mind also needs a strong body. How many Grandmaster Chess players have you seen that are very out of shape? Very few, if none.

[alpine kayak]

Here is the revised message I guess
I had no real life before I turned 13, I was simple, I liked baseball and videogames snd hated school (I gave up on studying and it got me a couple of B's which I shouldn't get, I wouldn't if the teachers were better and if I studied harder)
But I have started to care more about baseball and to imprive at it as I grow taller and stronger
I started to lift weights a lot
I joined like 5 highschool clubs
I started wrestling and love it
I stopped caring about the bullies who decide to be rude to me for no real reason, I have improved and I have grown, I have even started planning for my life in the future, I was small and now I have a personality

[alpine kayak]

I play chess but I am not GREAT at it, I am sure I could be if I tried but I do not believe that is where my life should go, I do not think that is where I would be happiest

[silver pewter]

Well now I'm confused. You said you was about to START high school, but now you're saying that you've already been in high school clubs?

[alpine kayak]

Okay, I will clear things up

You can join the clubs BEFORE highschool starts where I live, they have a little thing where they set up stands and stuff like towards the beginning of summer break for 8th graders going to highschool

[silver pewter]

Ah. Yeah, in my area, gotta be in HS to be in HS clubs.

Baseball is a great sport, that not many people see the beauty of, as decades past.

For K-12, lawd... football is honestly "bad", in the sense that a child can get seriously injured.

If the other team follows rules and you wear proper gear it is fine, I quite bc in 5th grade their team had more than half of the players have beards and be over 6ft tall (they were adults) and I got wrecked 3 plays in a row, he grabbed my shoulders and just destroyed me 3 times, then they switched me out for this kid named Isaiha and he grabbed that "kid" by the face mask and did an illegal move getting him ejected from that game but he avenged me (he was a big kid but not as big as them)

"I thought this place served noodles?"
"Squids have 8 noodles if you dream big enough, and they have a very ramen like taste"

I am not ready for a job SOULY BECAUSE I CANNOT HANDLE PEOPLE LIKE THAT

[alpine kayak]

Btw thanks for your help

[silver pewter]

The hard part of High School... is that you're going to be doing a lot, with no "true" reward. I got up at 6:45 AM for HS, school started at 8:30 AM, end at 3 PM, and about 3:45 PM when I got off the bus. That is basically like an Adults 9 to 5 Job. But you aren't getting paid, plus your day is not over. You got homework and studying to do. So yeah, I honestly never really studied in HS.... was honest to God tired by the time I got home, and just wanted to relax.

That is about how I take school, I am basically a straight A student but lazy because school isn't worth my time, I jumped through this hoop last time, light it on fire and give me a prize for jumping through it and I will acctually try to jump, you know?

[solid sun]

school's a lot easier than working a job you don't like.

[alpine kayak]

Sidenote: Does being creative ruin your own joy from your own creations?
Explanation
I enjoyed a book series called the wingfeather saga, and once I finished I thought "can the author enjoy this? Can she read her own book and smile or is it just something she has already seen, just that she saw it slower and it was harder to enjoy because there was no flow?" Like I like wereowolves but other than the wingfeather saga no other book that isn't a love story has any type of werewolf in it, nothing matches my taste and I wonder even if I could make my own books would I enjoy them?

[alpine kayak]

At least you need to work the job

[solid sun]

don't talk to me about working, I've not had one succesful job application... people don't give you any chances unless you've had a decade of work experience or something.

I much rather go to school, get something work on to get my brain working out, then suffer through more job applications.

I hate the work life environment, it's toxic

[alpine kayak]

I understand this
It is very true
However I will never need school
It will never help me
I can learn more on the internet in 5 minutes than what I can in school in 5 years
It is sad, the school education system teaches you more to fit the mainstream media's beliefes rather than making you smarter

[solid sun]

I mean, that's if you are able to learn that way.
Some can, some can't. Some need instructors and guidance, and can only learn with hands on experience, and not just from a video or written down explanation.

I do say, yes, school's broad, but there's not nothing in it that you will never use, like right now, you're using english you learned in school, your parents likely didn't teach you how to write and spell.

also unless your country is controlled by media companies and owned by them, I don't think schools are built around mainstream media.

but the majority of countries have not had a major school reform since post the last big war

[alpine kayak]

Hahaha, that last bit, comedic to say the least, school taught me basic grammer, I have learned more than 50% of all the words I know from the internet mostly through
"Huh what is that word?" And then the inevitable
"Webster dictionary tell me what this means" also a huge way I learn and I assume others learn, is through context, you bear a word and how it is used and what tone and you know it, you understand it

[alpine kayak]

The US needs one, maybe I just have bad teachers who bring their political views into school idk

[solid sun]

yeah but you wouldn't understand how to do that if you never learned to engage with language to begin with, like people who can't write nor read are less likely to engage with newspapers or anything related to language.

[alpine kayak]

Yes, while you are ENTIRELY right I mean whole-heartedly correct, the fuck am I still going to school for now?? I have learned what I need and can basically educate myself better than a teacher who went to colledge

[solid sun]

Not sure how frequent 'bad schools' are in America, but here in this european country, there was just a report yesterday, about a school that has a massive problem with violence, and teachers quitting en mass due to harassment and otherwise violent behaviour of students.

[silver pewter]

The best way I can put it. Is that High School gets you ready for college. Nothing else. It does not get you ready for a job, nor anything else.

[solid sun]

yeah, no country I've heard of so far gets kids ready for 'adulthood' and 'doing taxes and shit'

[alpine kayak]

American schools have a poor education system, America does many things right, but patriots are on a short supply ever since some rather distasteful things became popularized (will not be getting political and no I am not trashtalking the gay or trans, I mean some anti patriot stuff)

[alpine kayak]

America should

[solid sun]

like how hard is it to have one year one class per week to teach kids how to read a contract and fill out tax forms etc. like proper stuff you need in life.

[alpine kayak]

Apparently, too difficult

[solid sun]

not just america.

[alpine kayak]

Ik

[solid sun]

I have no idea what patriotism is tbh.

[alpine kayak]

The love for your own country, specifically for America, but now people like to see their political side as "ALWAYS RIGHT, FOLLOW BLINDLY DO WHAT NEWS SAY" and now people burn flags and leave the USA to go to Hawai, which I still get a kick out of, but may we please not diverge into politics, I mean we are from different places, I just don't want to go on a rant here

[brazen tiger]

https://www.stopkillinggames.com/
This is for a petition to Europeans to sign to have game dev studios stop shutting down the games people love, hopefully it's successful enough in time to save Anthem and other games like that and hey if we're lucky it might bring air mech arena back from the grave!

[solid sun]

well I love 'my idea of my country', I don't like many countries, and all countries have faults.(by my I mean my own, not any one not founded by me)

[alpine kayak]

Yes

I have always been a bit of a patriot though not a soldier, my thoughts are always, "if you hate America leave" so everyone SHOULD be a patriot in America, why are we so divided?

[solid sun]

yeah, I think this is a good point to stop the conversation, at least for me, because I don't have anything positive to say about such behavior haha.

[silver pewter]

Don't worry, by the time you're my age, you'll think it is a waste of time to vote.

[alpine kayak]

Life is hard enough
School isn't built for smart people
Jobs aren't built for people who don't currently have one
I just wanna live man, I just want to survive

[solid sun]

Like when I move to another country, be it for vacation or permanent move, I behave how it's appropriate in that country, and I personally would take it as a new start and be my best self with the best attitude.

[alpine kayak]

All people should be like this honestly

[solid sun]

well I'm sad for america is practically only have two options to vote for, in other countries with more options you can actually have a proper 'counter' vote, if you're unhappy with how things are going.

[alpine kayak]

Okay, you are a tad underinformed, there are more than 2 people to vote for, they just kinds get killed by advertisement and stuff, there is a "neutral party" and others, just no one cares about them

[solid sun]

I know that, that's why I said practically

[alpine kayak]

My bad, I apologize

[solid sun]

as you said, no one cares about those.

[silver pewter]

We used to have other parties, but that was a very long time ago. Theodore Roosevelt ran on his "Bull Moose Party" in 1912.

[alpine kayak]

I prefer talking about life
Everyone who is rich/has a fortune, was either lucky, had an idea no one had before and it succeeded, or a criminal
I just don't get it, why is success so luck based? I am on my way to being an adult and I could live in an empty apartment the rest of my life depressed or I could be the most hated person in the world because I have money, but I can't gurantee either of these results

[silver pewter]

Well no, some people became rich from simply hard work.

[solid sun]

I mean, if you study and become a doctor, you will have more money than people who don't study and just work the 9 to 5 job that's payed medium wage.

hard work is way too ambigous

[alpine kayak]

Haha, yeah, but they were smart, as I said, TomMacdonald is my favorite example, he was the first to do what he does, he became a multi millionaire because of that

[solid sun]

currently, most start-ups in the computer space seem to have the goal if just getting as much user-data and traffic numbers and then selling the company to a bigger one to make a profit by not providing anything of value.

[solid sun]

what did he do?

[alpine kayak]

That is an issue, my mom is a nurse, we are not by any means "wealthy" we have nice things through saving but we aren't able to throw monry around for joy, minimum wage just keeps going up making other jobs closer to minimum wage, this means inflation goes up because more money enters circulation, this makes a middle class job worse because it pays similarly to a cashier and water now cost $12

[solid sun]

well she is a nurse and not a doctor, that's like worlds difference in wage.

[alpine kayak]

People never grasp that not everyone can be rich, that isn't how economy works, some people's lives HAVE to suck, because if not, everyone's life would suck

[alpine kayak]

They both require a lot of education and dedication, doctors( ER doctors) are paid I would say 20-30 percent more than my mom (ER nurse) you can get paid a lot to be a flight nurse or travel nurse but with a family those options are not avaible to her

[silver pewter]

No, no. I mean literally just hard work. Lil Wayne was making music at 12 yo, released his Debut Studio Album at 17 yo, Certified Platinum.

[solid sun]

I don't think I agree with that, mostly because 1% of the world has 90% of the money or something like that.
So it's a bit hard to say if everyone just had enough money, because currently it's not at all well balanced.

[alpine kayak]

Yes, he took a risk, he just happened to get big, no matter how good your music is, no one is guranteed success

[alpine kayak]

Okay, this sounds a lot like communism

[silver pewter]

You say that, but trash like the band Pantera exists. 😭

[alpine kayak]

If everyone had 1 trillion dollars everyone is a trillionare and their trillion dollars means nothing it just makes everyone poor, Elon musk would be a half dollar richer than everyone else in the world, it doesn't fix anything

[solid sun]

not really, it's just the truth of how money currently is distributed, and when you say you want more money to be happy, then that money has to come from somewhere, the rich are not going to give you any of theirs unless you offer them fancy new cars or a new TV.

[silver pewter]

You should look up the 2008 Zimbabwe hyperinflation story.

[alpine kayak]

They will never give you any of theirs, that is how you become rich, you start a buisness, paychecks don't make rich people sadly

[alpine kayak]

Yeah, ik the trillion dollar bill was worth a dime

[solid sun]

what I'm saying is, that due to money having so much of an influence on you, you're biased to think money means everything, I've never had much money in my life, and I don't think highly of money myself, I just would like to get enough to get by and still afford all of the manga I buy.

you don't have to make 6 figures to be happy.

[alpine kayak]

I never said you did, I agree with you to be honest, I just think it sucks how becoming financially stable is difficult

[silver pewter]

Being alive means everything. 😅

[alpine kayak]

Yes, it also means nothing at the same time

[solid sun]

yes, and that's why everyone says all the time that 'hard work' in school, will give you better 'chances'.

[silver pewter]

Oh no, trust me, it means everything. You just don't realize it until you almost kiss death. I got into a horrible car accident in 2021.

[alpine kayak]

I wish economy wasn't the pyschological warfare that it is
Paying "the poor" more doesn't make them any less "poor" it just makes everyone else "poor" by comparison

[alpine kayak]

I can confidently tell you, it is nothing unique, no one will ever say "I wish I were alive", being alive means you have a chance, but it also means you can fail, that is the beauty of it all somehow

[silver pewter]

I should of dropped out of Middle School in 2008, and bought a house during the housing crisis. Get me one of those dirt cheap foreclosed houses. 🤣

[alpine kayak]

Idk if this is a joke, but isn't it impossible to have home ownership as a child? No?

[solid sun]

well, technically no.

[silver pewter]

It was a joke.

[alpine kayak]

I thought there were requirements that needed you to have a job and stuff indirectly at least

[solid sun]

that's for the bank if you take a loan

you can't pay off a loan if you don't make any money regularly

[silver pewter]

Well, the most basic way to put it, is that the house would go into a Trust Fund, and the child would gain ownership of it when they turned 18 yo.

[solid sun]

if you can just pay for the house, then nobody can really refuse you to hand over the money for that transaction, it's like buying ice cream, unless it has alcohol in it, there's nothing that should prevent that transaction either

[alpine kayak]

The way you abrieviate years old and it is in a different row LOL it looks like you ended your sentence with the word yo, I found that way too funny

[alpine kayak]

Are you Irish??????

[solid sun]

not really why?

[alpine kayak]

Or Russian

[silver pewter]

Been doing it that way since 2007 lol.

[alpine kayak]

Because, when it comes to alcaholic beverages, just because you have the money doesn't mean the transaction will go through

[solid sun]

huh? that's what I said, unless it has alcohol in it.

[alpine kayak]

Ik, it was just a rather unfortunate placement

[solid sun]

alcohol is 18+

[alpine kayak]

Oh, misunderstanding my bad

[alpine kayak]

It is 21+ in America
5+ in Ireland with parental permision
Any age in Russia as long as you can hold the bottle yourself (this is a joke)

[silver pewter]

Heck, you're lucky that you wasn't around for the 90's. It took 2 minutes just for AOL to CONNECT to the Internet with Dial Up. And you had to get off the internet in order to use the land line telephone.

[solid sun]

we only had dial up for like a year or two.

then it become obsolete already.

[alpine kayak]

I wish I could have met the dinosaurs, they are cool (yet again a joke please don't take it seriously)

[silver pewter]

DSL was next.

Then "Broadband", I believe.

[alpine kayak]

I think I am technically gen alpha idk

[silver pewter]

My 93 yo Grandpa is the generation before the Baby Boomers. "Silent Generation".

It's crazy, because like, he remembers the day that Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in Major League Baseball. 😭

[solid sun]

I honestly do not care about any of this generational stuff.
To me it sounds like someone came up to feel entitled or distance themselves from the mistakes of others.
Like how in Y2K the alternative scene was highly popular with Emo and Goth and Punk not so much it was mostly tranformed into Metal.

[alpine kayak]

My only remaining great granparent is 91 maybe 92 and probably going to die soon but I hope she stays healthy, she got sick and recovered amazingly everytime, she is a big time christian and I feel like god is the only reason she is still alive, would she be in the same generation

[alpine kayak]

Generations ARE one of the stupidest labels

[silver pewter]

The thing about Y2K, is that I didn't even hear people talk about that shit in 1999. I only heard about it years after.

[silver pewter]

Generations make sense if you know enough history.

[solid sun]

the 2000s were probably the best human time to be alive.
Internet wasn't really a thing it just got started, everything in the gaming space was fresh and new.

[alpine kayak]

I was born the year gen alpha started I think (2011) and people from this generation have a bad stereotype

[solid sun]

wow, cutting that really close there

[alpine kayak]

For me the golden time was 2016-2019 but it started to get worse around early 2019, my innocence faded by then and I learned things about how bad the world is and life became less fun

[alpine kayak]

What do you mean?

[silver pewter]

Uhh.... sorta. 6th Gen of Consoles was obviously Sega Dreamcast, PS2, Gamecube, Xbox. 4th Gen was SNES, Genesis, and a few niche ones. I can't exactly say that one was better than the other.

[solid sun]

GDPR says you're only allowed to be on discord with the age of 14+

or something

[alpine kayak]

I am one of the youngest people in my grade and if I were a little younger I wouldn't be in this grade, most other people are in Gen Z in my grade, I know like 2 others who are younger than me but that is all

[alpine kayak]

13

I couldn't do much on discord until 13

[silver pewter]

Lol, that's new stuff. I was using the internet at 4 yo, tearing up AOL Messenger and AIM.

[solid sun]

well it is a new 'rule' yeah

[alpine kayak]

You can create an account before 13 at least when I made mine, but everything was basically restricted saying I needed to be 13

[solid sun]

you still should be careful etc

[alpine kayak]

Yeah, I mean, idk, the fuck is discord gonna do? "Hey we let you make this account even though you told us you were 12 and we acknowledged this by blocking any form of social content until you turned 13, but we changed our rules and are now deciding to ban you for having used this site while underaged before it was against our rules"

[silver pewter]

Too many helicopter parents these days.... when I was 6 yo I was riding my bicycle 2 miles away from home, having fun. These days, that's child abandonment/neglect or whatever.

[solid sun]

well, I don't blame parents nowadays.

most parts of the world did get more dangerous.

but what I blame parents even more for is not teaching their kids how to behave on a public street

[silver pewter]

I mean, PDF Files have always existed.

[solid sun]

argh stahp it.

that sounds so silly and undermining

[alpine kayak]

I used to literally be able to walk to the otherside of my small town in Missouri unguarded, legit ran into dangerous bits of town and I am sure I could have been hurt and never realized, but yeah, now I cannot walk around the block without telling my parents and bringing my phone in case of emergency

[silver pewter]

You over there spelling stop, like a character from My Little Pony. 😭

[alpine kayak]

I live in the country part of a larger town now in IL so I guess it warrants more caution

I am going to bed and charging my phone, wish me luck on that whole "making a living" thing

[silver pewter]

"Started from the bottom, now we're here."

[solid sun]

technically speaking it's very unlikely anyone should face any dangerous people, but personally I feel it's gotten more dangerous, not sure if it's just how it's shown in media, be it newspapers or television, but just from my gut feeling alone when I look how the streets feel now compared to when I was younger, I personally do feel less safe overall.

[solid sun]

I wasn't that big into it, but I like Twilight Sparkles

[silver pewter]

Dunno, I guess it depends on which crimes we're talking about. And then looking at a chart for which decades up or down.

[solid sun]

I mean physical violence and murder/kidnapping.

that's the most likely you will encounter if you're physically on the street

[zinc depot]

Migrants from the third world will do that, make places more dangerous

[silver pewter]

Though, I think part of it, is that there's simply way more people than since even the 1990's. I mean, NYC and what not was crowded even back then. But say, a small city going from 50k to 100k people. Just feels like you're encountering a lot more.

[solid sun]

probably doesn't help that I fall asleep to watching true crime shows... lol

[silver pewter]

"Last time on Law & Order Special Victims Unit". Lol

[solid sun]

that's not true crime.

this show in particular, runs on that one TV channel the entire night from like 22 to 6

yeah but is it already in the solar system? must be, right? afaik we don't have a way to see something that size outside of it yet

Gonna need PP to proffer to take the Rivals of Aether 2 team under their wing when Jason and Ludwig finish burning.

[full mountain]

Wha? I know Jason is in some crap but what did Ludwig do?

[solid sun]

Ludwig enables alcoholism I think and Jason is a roach.

[full mountain]

Also, Jason wasn't like the owner of Offbrand, he was just some marketing manager or something

[solid sun]

unless that's another Ludwig

[full mountain]

Wha, which Ludwig are we talking about?

[hearty sonnet]

What are you all even talking about? 🫠

[solid sun]

oh there's a different one haha.

[graceful vapor]

Don't look it up. Please do not. Just know its a perfect example of a bad friend.

[solid sun]

nvm me then.

I was talking about this guy

[graceful vapor]

A potential studio that could use a new home if Offbrand burns.

[solid sun]

uff I couldn't tell you if it's the same one or not, most western men look the same to me.

[hearty sonnet]

Ooooooo

[full mountain]

Fucking RACIST

[hearty sonnet]

But

But I'm gorgeous

[graceful vapor]

Its preference...

[solid sun]

haha, no it's like they all have the same hairstyle, I can't tell.

[teal iron]

what

[full mountain]

Again, Jason (I assume this is PirateSoftware Jason we're talking about) left, but he was only in a manager position, not the owner or any super high position. What does Ludwig have to do with Offbrand?

[solid sun]

some ludwig or another is the founder IIRC

[graceful vapor]

Ludwig is the CEO if I'm correct. I don't feel comfortable even summarizing what he did, but it could have put a person six feet under while on a livestream.

[solid sun]

I personally don't know if it's the Ludwig that's currently invovled in some Drama or another, but that honestly would be rather unfortunate.

Oh so it is the same ludwig

[full mountain]

Okay so the ceo of Offbrand is the same guy we're talking about, the mogul guy, streamer...

What the hell are you on about with him?

[teal iron]

The urge to post a picture of ludwig from mario and ask "this guy owns a media company"

[solid sun]

If that Ludwig is the same Ludwig that hosts Drunk Streaming Parties, then he's the Ludwig involved in Drama currently

This guy owns a media company???

and he works with a pirate???

[solid sun]

music is a form of media

[teal iron]

i'll turn you into a form of media here in a minute

[graceful vapor]

Firstly, this is just to mention him, not to stir drama. Secondly, him and another associate have kicked up quite a PR nightmare with their behavior that might result in major issues down the road.

[solid sun]

Let's make found footage together ❤️

[teal iron]

Raises curtain to reveal the portraitification machine from luigi's mansion

[full mountain]

From what I can find, he banned another person named mang0 from a Mario kart tournament he was hosting because he was being an ass to other competitors, and people were upset over it for whatever reason, idk. And then he had a video with PirateSoftware in it, but I assume the video was recorded before people started shunning em, so that's not too big

[graceful vapor]

Remain this way please. Don't dig further.

[solid sun]

I could tell you more, but if you don't want more, that's okay.

[teal iron]

[solid sun]

sorry

[full mountain]

I hate automod filters.

[full mountain]

Again, Jason left so that's no longer a "PR nightmare", and even if he did stay on, it's dumb as hell to attack unrelated games just because someone at the publisher company is being a dick.

Also what did Ludwig even do besides what I just stated above? How are you gonna make a accusation he did something "horrific" and then when pushed for an explanation you just go "oh it makes me uncomfortable describing it... " Like what is your issue? If it's anything short of pedo stuff, SA, or murder, then I feel you're overreacting just a bit

[graceful vapor]

When money talks, it does, bad PR has more impact these days.

I said it before and I'll say it again, do no proceed further on this subject is my advice. Do your own research because there is now more clarification from multiple sources. His name was only meant to be mentioned. Not to be discussed.
