My go to site which has most of what I’m looking for is still up. So much for that lmao.

I bet a lot of people peddling homeopathy just think it’s herbs and water, and don’t know the initial theories behind it like “the law of similars” (thinking something can be treated by a substance that causes similar symptoms) and miasma (outdated idea on how diseases spread), or the fact that it’s often so diluted to the point where whatever was originally there is essentially gone.

At least some natural/traditional remedies are legit, but still see an actual fucking doctor over anything serious.

I once accidentally bought pepper spray I forgot was in my bag through TSA.

Eh, if it’s lab grown or some family heirloom then I don’t think there’s any harm. With lab grown you’re getting virtually the same thing as natural ones for cheaper, and without it being harvested by a child slave at gun point.

I’m aware there are legitimate uses for it, I meant around foodstuff since it’s not something that should be anywhere near it. I probably should’ve specified better. 😅

Great, now lets ban teflon next.

EVE always fascinated me, but at the same time how beginner unfriendly I’ve heard it is + feeling like I’ll probably not last long before I get killed off makes me wary of trying it.

If Outer Wilds counts as AA, then I’ll nominate that next (even if I still need to finish it)

Is there anything with Japanese? It’s the language I’ve been learning (I took a class and have been wanting to study it further), but not all language learning apps have it.

What if they need it for medical reasons? But I guess I shouldnt expect these people to know the other ways they’re used since I doubt they paid attention in sex ed (assuming they even properly got it).

I can still dream

Hopefully this will push the billionaires to finally do something about it.

What if it’s a candiru?

Is there at least a new contender for their place?

I mean, it wasn’t like I was expecting the guy who refused to take down a popular softcore CP sub until it got mainstream media attention to be morally upstanding.

Ironically I wouldn’t have heard of it if it werent for this, so Streisand effect in action.

As someone who’s into a lot of VR stuff, the biggest problem is that it’s still a niche market that requires the consumer to be spending a lot on extra hardware in order to play it. Obviously the majority of studios would rather invest in something more people can play and therefore buy, and at most will maybe add a VR mode to their first person game. I’ve found VR modes and mods for games not initially developed for that sort of hardware to be more engaging and have more substance than most of the ones specifically made for it (and is most of the VR games I play), but being able to play in VR does enhance the experience imo depending on the game.

There is actually a promising cancer treatment that uses a genetically modified poliovirus strain, but it’s still in its trial phase.

The Sims 4. It’s the worst game in the mainline series, but it has the best mods (which are the only thing making it playable) so I put up with it.

I had no context when I first saw this image and assumed it was something drug related.

Having a good service that’s easily accessible and re-releasing games from older consoles (many of which people have been rallying for) = less of an incentive to pirate them. Obv it will still exist, but it’d be in less of a demand. I almost never pirate PC games since the vast majority of the ones I’m interested in are readily accessible, unless it’s from a shitty AAA company like EA.
