It works for me. Been accidentally doing it since I was 13. Parents didn’t give me an allowance, but they did give me lunch money, so if I wanted to buy games I had to skip lunch. Never went back and I’ve always been a healthy weight without much exercise.

Coffee for breakfast, water all day, and a double serving size of dinner. Lately, with the rising cost of food, I have been doing a lighter dinner and supplementing with a protein shake for lunch.

That’s literally the context of this post

We can acknowledge it, sure, but that doesn’t solve it. What is your solution? Force young women to marry men they don’t love or respect?

The real solution is far simpler: let these hateful men remain lonely until they are desperate enough to affect a change in themselves.

The ‘real problem’ you’re referencing is that hateful young men are having trouble finding young women who share their values?

The obvious solution is for those men to reassess their values. If they can’t do that, then they deserve to be alone.

I saw a documentary recently that claimed that one of the reasons the Mongols were so successful was that they attacked in the middle of winter. So for most people fighting in the cold was unthinkable, but for the Mongols it was Tuesday.

You can do a quick web search for the etymology of some of the words, but since it’s slang, and sex slang at that, it’s mostly speculation and difficult to find an irrefutable source.

Even the word blow in blowjob has several possible origins. It could be from the Latin fellatus - to suck, move air with your mouth, blow. Or it could be blow like explode, as in orgasm. Or it could be from Victorian era prostitutes who used the term ‘below job’.

It was my understanding that the names for these things came about to help facilitate negotiations with prostitutes, which would make them jobs. These actions didn’t require names in any other social context because missionary was the only socially acceptable sex act and anything else was simply “sin”.

This isn’t a capitalist failing, it’s a religious failing.

:(

Yeah, the industry seems to be changing again. There’s a push towards passion projects and those projects are seeing more success than the big budget games. I think we will either see a new cycle of conglomeration or, hopefully, we will see the executives take a more hands-off approach and let the games make money for them.

Just because you own a sports team doesn’t mean you should be head coach.

You’re not wrong
