The kind of person with the social skills to think to ask the bride and groom in advance also likely has the social skills to know their girlfriend is gonna say yes. It’s not like it’s some big mystery how the other person feels, and if you’re a reasonable human being you’ve likely discussed the future and stuff. I don’t think many people actually get rejected proposals.

If they do, it's because they thought that the surprise was the proposal itself, rather than the timing / situation

"Where did I get these numbers? It's simple! I completely made them up!"

It reminds me of a thing on social media saying that we should put in a UBI and pay for it with an increase to the sales tax, which they backed up saying that it would be best way to pay for it for almost everybody, compared to other approaches that only target the wealthy! See, here's the math!

The math included an increase to the UBI payment by an arbitrary amount that covered the increase in sales tax.

On the other hand it sounds like the effect in Cyberpunk is extremely close to/possibly modeled off a device designed with the sole purpose of inducing seizures which probably isn't the case with Free Willy.

Yeah, it seems like they did precisely enough research to get to the part where they had a model for a cool medical-looking helmet and then stopped there, right before the bit where the article explained what it was used for.

It's not the players that matter for this poo poo, by the way- it's the loving streamers and, more importantly, stream viewers who tune in after the big fat epilepsy warnings. And for folks who will respond to this with some variant of "gently caress stream viewers," maybe reserve that sentiment for a situation where they're not fourteen-year-olds actually risking death because they tuned in to watch their favourite shouty man play a video game.

I'm not outraged at her or about her wanting "bad things to happen to Trump," I'm outraged about the systematic problem that the joke relies on: the belief that prisoners deserve to get raped, the understanding that prison exists as a way to make your enemies suffer rape, and the response to jokes about one's enemies being raped in prison consistently being an apology only, and exclusively, for the implication of homophobia.

My understanding is he thought if he doubled resources or whatever then people would just overpopulate again to reach that new threshold and blow right past it. No reasoning was ever given for why this wouldn't happen when halving the population and creating the same exact relative numbers wouldn't produce that same result. Also no explanation why he couldn't make some infinite energy source or technology.

Mine was far simpler-he's a dumbass who figured he had a solution, got rebuked because his solution was insane and stupid, and decided to force his obviously wrong answer through anyway. He could have actually fixed everything but he was too proud to admit his first idea was wrong.

It's not super supported by the text, but the text was too cowardly to have anyone try to talk him out of his plan anyway.

Please, what woman wouldn't be impressed by you showing up at her job and suddenly dumping billions of tasks on her?

More like performing a hostile takeover of multiple chocolate companies and diverting their entire combined output directly onto her desk. And the reason you did it is because she posted on Facebook that she liked chocolate. And you used the money she gave you in the divorce to do it. Also you make it super clear that it was you, a guy she had an existential restraining order against, who did it. And you had to beat up her dad, grandpa, and older brother to manage the task.

That motivation is so much more powerful because it is obviously flawed and also obviously illogical-you can't be logiced out of it because you didn't logic into it, it's just a very human combination of pain and horny driving you, and a beatdown is probably the only way out of it.

Because the more poo poo they can pile on the better it is for the Q folks in the audience who are hypertuned to interpreting symbols and also incredibly generous with their wallets, while also making it easy to mock folks who spot it as reading too much into it.

If they were the party the Dems say they are, they should be trying as hard as possible to get the gently caress away from deniable fascism right now. Instead they've gone with the nazi-specific-variation-of-the-odal-rune stage.
