Doesn't matter, actually. A predditor wouldn't want a partner who views predditoring as a red flag, that is, the red flagging of their hobby is, itself, a red flag, even for them too. It isn't a desired trait, but for those with the trait, they would not want to make themselves subservient to one who does not like the trait.
So... Your ideal wife is a coworker you happen to fuck every now and then, and share tax filings with?
I mean, works for me, just seems a minority opinion.
To be fair, the headline is correct. For the country's sake, VP-Harris should step aside.
It just left out that so too should P-Biden.
"Oh, you're not legally allowed to work in this country because you're ACTIVELY A CRIMINAL? You poor thing, well, if we were to do a background check on you they'd find out where you are and deport you FOR BEING AN ACTIVE CRIMINAL, so we can't possibly do a background check... You're hired, you poor thing. Now think of all the DEI and ESG scoring we can have!"
Gamers have been dead for 10 years now. They worry about a once-per-decade zombie apocalypse, clearly.
I've seen a stream clip where a person was literally shaking and figuratively being genocided because someone said "idiot" online. Notably, not to them. Just the usage of the word in a vaccuum, a "you'd have to be an idiot to do..." hypothetical statement. Extremist violence, clearly.
"Won't someone PLEASE watch over the children?!?!!" they cry out. "Oh, but not the parents. We can't have mothers watching their own kids and raising them. That would be sexist and wrong. And assuming fathers are helping raise their own kids is white supremacy somehow. So specificially, won't someone PLEASE get the government to watch over the children?!?!?!!?!"
Literally the entire "think of the children!" argument boils down to rich narcissists not wanting to spend a couple minutes of their lives raising their own kids. And for some reason, the conservative crowd just gets on their knees and opens their mouths, ready to lap it up. Oh please daddy government, raise our kids in our place harder.
"Welcome to the internet, where the men are men, the women are men, and the children are FBI agents."
"Never post any personal information on the internet."
"Assume everything posted on the internet could be a lie or a manipulation."
We used to hold these standards as, well, standard. The old ways of the internet.
I do find those moron-types confusing. They complain about not being a part of a culture, while avowing to have nothing to do with anything cultural at all. Like, it isn't even usually about interacting in a different culture or pushing your own culture, it's about isolationist asceticism. "Don't ever go to community events or interact with society; hide alone in the woods, then complain that the community hasn't seen you for a while!"
"Per-capita" means "per person".
If ten people eat ten cheeseburgers, that's ten people having lunch. Per capita, per person, one person eats one cheeseburger. If a different group has five people eat ten cheeseburgers, that's five people having a large lunch. Per capita, per person, one person eats TWO cheeseburgers in that second group.
If you have those two cheeseburger-eater groups, and you're planning on making a lunch for them... Is it going to be more expensive for you to make that lunch if you plan to invite more people from the first group, who eat one cheeseburger per person, or the second group, who eat two cheeseburgers per person, if they're otherwise perfectly identical groups?
Put to a real-world example, if you had to be in a densely packed group of ten people, and all you know is that of the two choices of groups to be packed in with, one group was shown with ten people to arbitrarily kill one person, that is, they have 0.1 murders per capita, 0.1 people killed per person in the group, and the OTHER group you checked had one million people in it, and had 100 murders, that is, 0.0001 murders per capita, 0.0001 people killed per person in the group, which group would you trust more, if all other factors were the same?
Of course, that is assessing and pre-judging someone based on objective provable statistics. Which some people disagree with. Some people say if you see someone coughing and wheezing while yelling "I have COVID!", that they really just need a hug and french kiss, that we shouldn't pre-judge that person for their traits that they are exhibiting to us and treat them like they're sick. Others say that, per capita, a really, really high % of people who show those traits might have COVID, and you probably want at least a mask and some hand sanitizer.
We've known this for ten years.

"Mountain Dewritos" the Zero-To-Hero /v/ The Musical parody song was PUBLISHED ten years ago. A full-on decade ago. It was well-known enough a decade ago, and mainstream enough knowledge within these circles, that goofy songs could hit 175000 views on Youtube about it.
"'Tis yon faith that wrongs ye, not the excellent localization." was an FFT meme for a bit way back when, on the remakes turning the practically machine-translated original FFT into some ponderous Shakespearean mess.
No middle ground, apparently, between Stop Bracelets and veritably ghastly yontither olde Englishe.
"An industry practice for years", they say the quiet part quiet, but it's still said.
The best games are from a bygone era, "years" ago. Oh look, a correlation!
Truly, consultancy is the real villain. I remember gamers being up in arms about Mount And Blade calling in medieval fighting consultants, and that time gamers burned down an orphanage because EvE Online consulted with a sci-fi writer for a ship design. It's always been those darn consultants!
Definitely not the DEI/ESG drviel.
Nowadays with the Isreal/Gaza issue, seems many of them have moved one Abrahamic religion to the side.
A half-decade ago is plenty of time on the internet.
What kind of parties do you have? "Hello, welcome, have some canapes and chiraz, by the by, this is my waffen-jerker-3000!"?
There's a bit of 4chan culture sprinkled into here from the GG days on /v/ left over. That's enough to have "autist" viewed generally as a slang vernacular and not necessarily an insult nor medical condition.
I need to hear semitic hissing to properly contrast it with the anti-semitic hissing.
If everyone who promised they would leave the USA did... It'd be a different country, that's for sure.
"Remember how we as your god-king ruling class mandated that you must take a certain medical procedure, or lose your right to travel, work, socialize, or eat? Well, we realized we've legitimized MAID as a certain medical procedure..."
"No reasonable Hollywood actor can be assumed able to think for themselves." could be a strong Reasonable Person defense.
Gamers died nearly a decade past, Kotaku. You can't kill them again, even if this feels a lot like old times.
Nep-nep is waiting in Gameindustri for all her goddess friends who cast her down low to come back.
A bit of a longshot. It isn't the right kind of projection. Not zero, of course, they do bring it up on rare occasion, but they're more the violent types who see aliens blowing up and go "I must go on a shooting rampage! Wait, no, it's the video games making me think that!". They probably also have a good deal of self-loathing, and regret their lack of association with cultural touchstones, feeling left behind and left out, and are lashing out because they feel excluded.
I mean, Walshy boy has only been on the scene for a few years, but I've been a dead gamer for over a decade, and a live one before that, well aware of the culture war and Yuri Bezmenov's testimonies the entire time. Walsh whines that he started everything, when he showed up, like, 5 years ago, the kid. He clearly feels excluded and without a place of belonging.
