  • Playing MUDs felt like an advanced typing course to me. Especially before scripts and shit became available in the front end. Running around, going through attacks, spells, changing stances, running back to town, roleplaying with other players, reading description text and needing to figure out if a had to go through or climb something and it would get real fun if someone was fighting a mob in the room you entered. Raids and stuff were just insane. Trying to keep up with everything and typing constantly without using the mouse for anything. I haven’t thought about playing those games for a long time, thanks for the walk down memory lane!

    I’m not sure why you’re getting downvoted. I dated a stripper for a couple years. We met outside the club but anyway, her and several of her friends seemed to like the clientele for the most part. The majority of guys were respectful, clean, and tipped well. The men they mentioned hating were the ones who tried to be aggressive, rude, smelled, or otherwise unclean which seemed to be a small minority of customers and the bouncer wouldn’t let obvious problem customers in. One of her friends was even dating a guy that had been a regular that she got to know at the club. I’m fairly certain they were all employed as independent contractors and they all looked out for each other in addition to security staff. My experience is second hand and anecdotal but I was surprised reading the meme and seeing the response to your post, I was unaware that it was broadly believed strippers didn’t like their clients, I thought strippers actually seemed to like their clients more than most other professions. Doubt any of it can be proven with any factual basis either way so probably a pointless debate and varies wildly at different clubs.


  • That’s factually not true though. Side loading was a term used before Google was even a company and before devices had internet access or peripherals/accessories to directly connect media other than plugging into your computer. Before devices had internet and you had to plug them into your computer to transfer files and install non-stock software. They would just say unauthorized or unofficial software if side loading wasn’t a term. It’s not like they need that term to exist for their shit behavior.






  • This is confusing to me, which I understand is a me problem not a you problem, I just don’t understand why you wouldn’t use a different word when you say you don’t like reading the word. Saying he’s incompetent, careless, reckless, irresponsible; I don’t know what word would make the most sense but I feel like using a curse word is generally a crutch anyway. I still use them but if I didn’t like reading them I wouldn’t use the crutch. I expect academics have a preference against it because they have a more broad range of conversational words they choose from more so than finding it offensive. I have a really hard time believing an educated adult finds the word fuck offensive. I would believe people find it lazy or juvenile and would make them less likely to engage and biases their opinion of who they are speaking with, even if unintentionally, but self censoring does nothing to change that.
