The idea that medieval peasants somehow had more free time than the average modern american still is absolute bullshit as far as I'm aware. Unless "necessary preparations for survival" count as free time just because it's not contracted work (it doesn't that's not what free time means).

Being scared isn't really something you can control. So I think what matters is whether that affects how she treats men.

As someone who also is quite scared of strangers when no one is around, I mostly just avoid that situation to begin with. If that's not possible or it's just too severe, it's definitely something where looking into professional help could help her, if it's available. Though not listening to true crime podcasts would probably be a good start...

Granted I think my heat intoletance is abnormal and when I get a doctor that doesn't dismiss it out of hand I want to see if there's a reason, but simply sitting in my chair at my pc in 22°C in t shirt and shorts is uncomfortably warm for me. 40 is just awful. Then again I barely notice a difference for anything above ~28, it's all horrible.

They're almost certainly volunteer fire fighters given that this is a rather small town, so there might not have been any present at the time.

They can delete 6.5 billion accounts without claiming they are active users.

Airtight packaging? I don't see many things not sold in plastic wrapping.

Lmao what

If you don't want one and people make fun of you for that that is still shitty. Also it's entirely possible to want one but just not enough to go actively looking. The only person that would be allowed to make that joke without being very certain he doesn't mind would be anon himself. Society's ultra focus on relationships and sex can feel bad enough without your fucking family making fun of you.

Think of an alternative scenario, not transportation but rather duplication. The original stays where it was, but a copy gets created elsewhere. To the copy, it will seem as if it got transported there. To the original, nothing will have happened.

Now you kill the original.

The only difference is the timing of ending the original.

Afaik GPL 2 would be stopping google from making android closed source anyway, unless I got something wrong about the license terms. But if anything that supports your argument. The main reason google is generally supportive of open source is that they recognize that they benefit from it. The moment that changes, google will try their best to close off anything it can (granted I don't think it's that likely to change, but they're already abusing their position plenty).

I find it interesting that somehow most of the comments assume anon is complaining when the pic is gigachad and it really reads more as making fun of himself without really having a problem with it.

Like honestly it sounds pretty alright

People buy cosmetics because they think they look cool and want to support the game they like. In WoWs, some premium ships are honestly hella fun in unique ways (while others are dumb op but of course some ppl pay for that too). In gachas it's a mix of just wanting the character and gameplay advantages.

Personally the stuff I don't get is spending money on the mentioned match 3 games, farm sims, and casual mobile games in general. Which are a huge market as mobile gaming is, for whatever reason I cannot comprehend, the largest gaming market in terms of revenue.

For one, they're not weebs they're just anime otaku, but also that is only a subset of anime and it's mostly just a judgemental stereotype. They have ads on the subway for birthday events for popular anime characters ffs. Many pachinko machines are anime themed, including after late night anime which are the negatively stereotyped ones. You know who doesn't have enough money to be a profitable target for gambling establishments? People with no job living in a basement.

And that's all while ignoring that pretty much no one chooses that life style voluntarily and I see no reason to make fun of these people.
