He's a fantastic video game streamer. Very charismatic, genuine, and funny. I think one of the things that makes him special is he'll do ridiculous things for a joke. If he thinks of a funny idea on the fly, sometimes he'll basically stop playing whatever game he was supposed to be streaming, and just do something else stupid instead.

For example, one time he performed a "magic trick" by unplugging his modem and then plugging it back in, using the time in between when the stream was frozen to run out of the room, making it look like he "disappeared". He would do insane, hilarious stuff like that regularly, it wasn't like he had special streams where he did things like that, he did them all the time.

Of course he ALSO did special streams where he went even further, such as the "doll house" stream where he had a whole set made up like a fake house and basically became a Sims character with needs bars and everything. He's a really special guy, and you could spend all day listing all of his amazing feats. He perfectly walks the line between being actually stupid in a funny way, and playing it up as a character, it's convincing enough that it all just becomes "Jerma", but he is also a genuinely good guy.

Specifically because it's convincing. You may just assume everything is fake, that doesn't mean everyone will. You may not care about seeing someone's imperceptibly realistic nude, but if it's depicting them they may care, and they deserve the right for people not to see them like that.

Just because it's not logistically feasible to prevent convincing AI nudes from spreading around doesn't make it ethical

On Android:

Godville is 24 MB, a zero player game where you create an adventurer who goes out and quests, collects loot and equipment, rests at town to sell things, tames a pet, joins a guild, etc. you can influence what they do, but they do it all automatically and you can just observe!

Impossible Dungeon is 35 MB, idle non turn based dungeon crawler with incremental upgrades, I really like it!

Not sure what you consider low MB, I couldn't find any more that I'd heavily recommend at 150 MB so I cut it off there

It's not necessary, no, but it can totally be a pro, unless you just don't want to be friends with your lover.

That and if the idea of being lonely frightens you or makes you sad it can be easy to want to latch onto anyone, that's really easy to fall into.

Also, unless they meant fear of breaking up, there's no need to fear being divorced if you just don't get married. Not everybody wants or needs to get married, that also sort of falls into the "take your time and really assess the partner" idea

Some of those cons could be true, but I think the bigger problem is that they only listed "sex and money" as the only pros.

What are you doing in a relationship if that person isn't basically a really good friend that you can laugh with, do hobbies with, watch and talk about movies with, share music with, etc.

Sure you might have to hang out with mutual friends you don't love (Though a good partner won't force you to). You do need to spend time on their hobbies and likes if you don't specifically share them. I'm not sure if I can vouch for the rest, though, those are some cons where you need to be really selective and find like minds to be with (don't like to speak very often).

the other two (manipulated for sex, fear of divorce) are more like things you should go to therapy to learn not to tolerate or worry about, respectively.

Was looking through people's comments and was going to comment hard cider as well, and yours was the final comment! What sort are you drinking?

Today I had Blake's Triple Jam, it is pretty good. Cider's the only alcoholic drink I've ever had where almost regardless of the particular cider I don't need to "get used" to the taste. Most of the time I dislike regular beer and hard liquor is to be tolerated, mixed drinks don't count, that's cheating (but delicious)

Yes, that would've been a very valid reason for that person to not recommend an apple product. But to not recommend it because they can't borrow one from everyone around them is such a weird way to put it that I didn't even consider Apple's absurd reasoning for using the lightning connector

It's Chace Crawford. He's an actor, I know him as The Deep in the show The Boys

Should've just named the new ones drakobolds

I'd say from an introverted perspective: you don't have to go to every party just because you were invited. You can just say no to a drug offer if you don't want it, people are usually just like "no prob dude, more for me"

I dunno man, my gut says everybody secretly hates me, I'm an imposter at my job, the world isn't worth saving and having kids is a fallacy because they'll just grow up in the resource wars, among other very negative things, I've learned to trust my gut maybe half the time
