The only way to get everyone to get along is to create a new, even lower underclass of citizen for the humans to all feel smug about. This is that.

This started as a joke but the more I think about it the more afraid I am that I’m right.

Make sure Proton is installed on the same drive the game is installed. I’ve never had a problem with ANY game I’ve attempted so long as that was true, and I’ve played BG3 and Satisfactory both on my Mint partition so I know those work.

If you’re running the game from a different drive then you have to get into symlinking and that gets complex. But if you make sure they’re on the same drive it should just work.

It means that folks are still expecting logic and consistency out of US lawmakers.

How about protect your friends and family from a predator?

They’ll just offer their nephew some robux and a job in state legislature in exchange for a couple felonies

No text version for memeing purposes

Just like the simulations

Just pull down the mask and full-throat cough in their direction, they’ll get the message

He’s good at that, somehow. Wouldn’t be the first time I’ve had that reaction to a video of his.

This meme is about as old as I am so that’s very likely

Might have something to do with the tractor trailers full of Peter Thiel’s money that follows him around everywhere

Point taken I guess. Personally I didn’t view this as some insidious plan, I just kind of assumed the internet is full of wacky folks. Which it definitely is. I like to be inclusive of all who return the favor and personally I’ve never had any sort of beef with Drag before in our limited interactions.

But then again I am not a moderator or admin so my opinion means very little.

If it is a bullshit troll campaign then it’s obviously designed to get people fed up about pronouns and sow discord. The intention is for more people to decide they don’t care about “this stupid neo pronoun bullshit” and for each person that gets fed up about this, trans inclusivity falls in the community.

If it is not a bullshit troll campaign then it isn’t any weirder than other folks I’ve seen before on the internet. Furries and/or otherkin and/or whatever. I might not understand it, but I’m not about to come out here and tell them their self expression is incorrect. Frankly it’s none of my fuckin’ business. Doesn’t hurt me any one way or the other and it might make someone else happy.

So with that as my perspective, I’m just going in whole hog on absolutely respecting the shit out of this, because if they are a troll then they’ll almost certainly get tired of this eventually, and if they aren’t, then I don’t give half a damn what you want to call yourself. Especially if you don’t make a scene when people don’t comply. I’ve never seen Drag make a scene about other people’s choice of what to call them, I’ve only ever seen other people raise questions about how Drag refers to themself.

So, yeah. Do I think it’s a little weird? Sure, it is. Is it harmful? Nah, not really. The only harmful part I’m seeing is how six people want to interrogate them about it every time Drag makes a post about anything and it always overtakes the comment section. It’s attention seeking behavior, sure, but it isn’t harmful to anyone, that I can see.

“nothing can be done these days without offending others.”

If everywhere you go smells like shit, check your own shoes.

If everything you do offends someone, you are an offensive person.

The current novel space can go suck an egg, all of my favorite books I’ve ever read were all “I had this story burning to get out of me and I had to go through 30 publishers to find one that would take it”

I’ll never miss an opportunity to link an exurb1a video to someone new, and especially not when it’s so topical.
