Mine went away almost entirely when I switched from mouse to rollerball, but I do still get something similarly unpleasant when I play PS4 for too long

I destroyed online MW2 for endless hours back in the day but now I can get about an hour of AC Odyssey in before my thumbs go numb and start to hurt from carpal tunnel. I might have to go back to PC gaming

That’s pretty good

Carpal tunnel is a bitch

Exactly, picked up RDR2, AC Odyssey and Bloodborne for about $45 recently. This constant pressure to move people toward a subscription model only works if there’s trust. Too much bullshit = shrinking sales

The first Place was a lot of fun. I miss that kind of stuff. Or the “wild sketch appeared” guy, or that guy who was a corvid specialist and popped up with bird facts every once in a while, until some drama happened and he left the site… It was an interesting site for a while there.

100% RIF was the best, when it went bye bye so did I

Here ya go

Of the ofs that I could leave out, the ofs that I have left out in the past, and the ofs that I typically include, the ofs that I typically include are the only ofs that get noticed, but the ofs I exclude might be the most impactful ofs. Hard to say for sure.

But the ‘of’ is grammatically correct

That was a monkey fighting disgrace

A perfect example. Early “conspiracies” like bloating the numbers by counting anyone who died “with COVID” as having died “from COVID” and the disease having come from a lab due to gain of function research appear to have been borne out, among many others, too many to count, that ended up being bullshit.

That was a perfect storm of misinformation and disinformation that is still being pored over to this day.

Another good example is 9/11. People who refused to believe that steel infrastructure could not be damaged to an extent that it would implode and collapse into its own footprint - even if it wasn’t hit by a plane at all - were labeled “truthers”. Whatever you believe about 9/11, it’s very difficult to look at it in retrospect and not admit that something very wrong happened, and many questions are glossed over or left unanswered.

Labeling something a conspiracy immediately causes people to recoil lest they be categorized as tinfoil hat kooks, but the idea that powerful people will do horrifying things for their own interests under the thinnest cover and get away with it is not new.

That said, it is far too easy to lose grip on reality and start seeing everything as a conspiracy, so it’s always advisable to hold truths lightly, and examine them frequently. Hand waving things away with “they” statements is the worst kind of intellectual laziness and doing so is a great disservice to oneself.

I don’t think he’s a fascist necessarily, although he is a far-right, authoritarian ultranationalist. So that makes him… oh.

What is the universe?

Encephalitis (en-sef-uh-LIE-tis) is inflammation of the brain. There are several causes, including viral infection, autoimmune inflammation, bacterial infection, insect bites and others.

Are you sure they didn’t just conscript the napkins for TP? It is Taco Bell after all…

Such disrespect for Peacock
