He’s the way he is because of how they treated Rose. He’s almost guaranteed to be ADHD, maybe ASD too. The psychologists at the time didn’t really recognize it until the 1960s, and that wouldn’t mean widespread acceptance of the idea. Before that they called it something else entirely, and the common use of drugs like Ritalin and Adderall for ADHD didn’t happen until the ‘80s even though they existed far earlier.

So this dude was shipped off to boarding schools because he’s a “problem child” and a Kennedy. He was uncontrollable in schools, couldn’t stick to anything, got kicked out of boarding schools, and the only reason any of the schools put up with his shit at all was because he was a Kennedy. Got into drugs because that can happen to untreated ADHD people and people who have f’d up home lives. All this was swept under the rug by the Kennedys because they didn’t want the press to get wind of another Kennedy with “mental problems” and a drug problem. So he went untreated and unhelped. The worst thing that could happen to him was that he was born a Kennedy.

Worthless medal at this point.

Religion can be used to rationalize slavery. So there.

Oh IDK…makes us seem inconsequential. For some awful reason my gen were the top trump voters. Somehow that slid under the radar.

Will Poulter, just in case anyone else was wondering.

The experience of a brand new game with a new computer build that upped the standards. Particularly from the ‘90s to ~2010. Games pushed ahead with more expansive levels, better graphics, better sound, larger worlds. All more incredible than what you’d ever played before. It was a joy just to see it and experience it on top of whatever storyline and toys were in the game itself. Every year there was a leap in some facet of gaming.

I haven’t really experienced that since. PC builds are just way more expensive for minimal gain, franchises are just rehashes of old games, and it’s hard to find storylines and worlds that are fleshed out enough to make me want to invest the time.

On an individual game level, Battlefield’s Gunmaster mode is a real rush. Success can be ripped away instantly, you’re on your own skill, PvAll, and it’s a race to the top. Intense AF to win, got my heart rate up.

Christ, couldn’t they start with something like Sinclair or Google instead?

This is the right answer for issues with driverless cars. Ticket the registrant/owner. The State shouldn’t have to fight with a manufacturer to ensure legality in a vehicle’s programming, that’s a losing battle that will cost ridiculous amounts of taxpayer money. Fine vehicle operators so they’ll stop buying vehicles that incur costly fines. Losing customers is the only thing a corporation will listen to.

Plenty of racism in those forums playing out the “black on black” crime trope except it’s African on African crime, their fault for the slave trade, etc.

Aaaand that’s one of the reasons why I got rid of Plex. “Bought” it, then they found some other feature to paywall. Bought that, then another feature. Then it stopped playing files of certain extensions through chromecast. Fuck that. Put together Jellyfin and moved my collection over. Zero trouble since.

Omg the desperation. What a cringy simp. PAY ATTENTION TO ME!!1!

If only prayer worked. I bet we could get a lot of people to ask God to take all his people ASAP even if we never get to see the Epstein file. The world would be a better place.

I dunno about the tax laws here. Seems anything purchased in game with fake game money that stays in game shouldn’t be subject to a sales tax. Buying game currency with real currency? Sure. Buying real things by selling in-game accounts or items for real money? Fine.

More people who say it like it is but constantly don’t mean what it sounds like they’re saying.

Defending by mocking the ridicule of the Right because the right still uses the millennial generation as the butt of many generational jokes despite the fact that the generation is hitting 40+. “Millennial” is a stand-in for any generational trait they don’t like or want to make up.

Sure, not everyone has hit 40…but the leading edge of the generation is past 40.

Anyone going to or working at Starbucks must be a millennial loser.

Nevermind that Millennials, a favorite scapegoat of the Right for their expensive coffees and avocado toast, are approaching their mid-40’s.

So of course the wannabe victim-of-the-violence-of-the-left heads to a Starbucks, home of the Christmas Cup war on Christians, Millennial overspending, and pledges to donate to human rights issues, to make an attempt at stirring the shit.

And besides…the “victim” had Starbucks points they had to use before they expired.

Got excited when it came out, started playing, and same story. Just couldn’t force myself to finish.

Reality is meaningless to these people. They just make up whatever, it’s a massive circlejerk.

Musk switching away from Ketamine?

Redundant. Thanks for pointing that out.
