That's exactly what I meant, though. Compared to WoW's and FFXIV's millions, that's... basically you and your buddies. Which is okay, it's not like you're forcing other games to make the same mistake, but still. It's never gonna be profitable now that companies know that people hate it.

Oi, fuck you, throat singing is beyond based. Not sure what Inuit throat singing is like, but Mongolian throat singing is incredible.

Like, protesting the vaccine mandates in the SAME PROTEST? Did that actually happen?

It's good for the community, but nobody is going to run servers for you and a few of your buddies to... gank each other? After you've driven away everyone else.

That's why nobody except a few boomers cares about Runescape, lol. That's not stakes, that's an absolute waste of time and just pure ragebait that pretty much everyone will quit except a few people.

Oh, voting absolutely isn't real, but you should still vote anyway, just to make it harder on them to pull off the fraud.

So... no garbage that pretty much nobody wants judging by the complete lack of it happening when there's no rewards for it (like phase 2)? Yeah, it's been a breath of fresh air, lmao.

I would agree completely, but what really got me is just how genuinely good the FF14 community is despite the fact that it's censored. My assumption is that this is the case because the game is designed to make the players happy.

I was an asshole in other games but FFXIV made me full of positivity and it's so weird.

I think it's not because of censorship, though, I think it's because the game systems encourage positive interaction and give very few reasons to have negative interaction. Combined with the fact that it's made by the Japanese, so they don't censor based on political lines - you literally just can't talk about politics in public channels AT ALL. Any politics. You also can't be an asshole. I'm surprised it actually works...

Serbia has a motto so ingrained that its acronym became a large part of Serbian symbolism. I don't know how they aren't listing it.

"Only Unity Saves the Serb", SSSS (СССС in cyrilic).

You're a moron.

That's one thing I noticed I hate the most, parasites who claimed to be on our side but now act like they "regret" everything they said "back then". Those people deserve to end up on the streets and unloved. I despise people with no principles.

This seems like BS.

It's not about the vaccine, it's not "the unvaccinated" - it's "those who don't obey".

They're not victims, they're pathetic shits who can't control themselves.

Pillory needs to be brought back for these people.

Do you realise how many game devs are genuinely godawful people?

Why would they retroactively give legitimacy to them?? Abandon the tainted garbage.

We doing mindless and irrelevant reddit now?

Yes. It's fun as fuck to watch the utter evil and insanity of Reddit. Lighten up.

Seriously, how cowardly are people when no direct action is taken EVEN AT THIS POINT? People are pathetic.

I'm sorry but you've been indoctrinated into believing abortion is something it isn't. You shouldn't be angry at abortion doctors (obviously excluding those that abort later term, potentially viable pregnancies), you should be angry at the people who indoctrinated you into believing that abortion is murder, or whatever you believe. It's a sad, unfortunate event, but it's in no way equivalent to killing a human. You committed a moral wrong, but not a moral wrong that should haunt you for the rest of your life.

Sometimes, a weak, ineffective government is just as good as a freedom-loving government.

None, there's no mention of it here at least. And Serbia is handling this garbage way better, so I have some level of trust in the system.

I understand and respect the idea behind total, principled non-compliance, but if you want a no-bullshit, real vaccine, take the one China gives to its CCP members - I kinda doubt I have to explain why, seems obvious. Plus it's a deactivated virus type vaccine. We had that one for my grandmother, but we aren't getting any until they're fully cleared as safe (so it's unlikely that we'll get them).

Can confirm, breath play is some good shit. I prefer doing it to people who actually consent, though...

the left essentially has no principles beyond "opposition" of what they perceive to be the right

Not wrong, but then you realise that the right is almost identical in this sense, and you realise why politics are spinning out of control - it's like a propeller not anchored to a base anymore, so it just flies off and destroys itself. The propeller base is reality, and both sides abandoned it, and are just arbitrarily spiting each other, driving each other farther and farther away from reality and farther into insanity.
