  • I’ve considered removing or at least reducing swearing in my common language usage, but I don’t consider it enough to just replace swearing with placeholder words. “What the fudge” doesn’t work, in my mind, because it is still clear to everybody what my brain was trying to say before my resolution not to swear intervened. “What on earth are you talking about?” Much better.

    I kind of realised through running that through to its end that what my issue was, with swearing, was lazy use of language. So I still swear, but I try not to lean on the words as crutches.

    Where this puts me, language usage-wise, is in a position where I’m using swearing as a tool to accentuate my meaning or express emotion succinctly, since I don’t swear as often it carries more weight.

    For instance, my high school bully was a reprehensible human being but Donald Trump is a worthless fucking cunt.



  • Borderlands 2, including all the dlc. Such a great game. Bonus points if you have played borderlands 1, but its not essential.

    Borderlands 3 has excellent gameplay but the writing is far, far worse than borderlands 2. They somewhat lost the anti-corpo anti-cap vibes that the series was built on. You can pretty frequently pick up the entire series with all dlc for like… £30 or something with the Pandoras Box bundle.

    I had a bunch of fun with Destiny 2 but I can’t recommend it in good conscience because of the state of the management of the game.

















  • Ugh, I accidentally deleted my previous comment when trying to edit, sorry for the double reply.

    Original reply:

    You think that the amount of land being dedicated to making food for livestock dwarfing the amount of land dedicated to feeding people is not a legitimate complaint?

    Edit: eyeballing it, we use twice as much land (and as a result, water, energy, etc used in the farming process) making food for livestock (ie, food for what will become food) as we do making food for us
