Preachers kid who also turned out to be queer. I was terrified of getting spanked. Years of my parents telling me my ass was part of my private area and no one should ever touch it then my father pulling my underwear down and spanking me seriously fucked me up.

I feel seen.

What I heard

This is fine.

Paralives is still going strong! It’s looking like it will be strong enough of a competitor to actually influence future sims developments.

I never understood peoples issues with self checkouts until my local grocery stores self checkout suddenly went to shit. Idk if it was a bad update or the machines are getting old but I run into multiple issues almost every time I check out now. Last week I bought three items and every single item locked up the machine because they were flagged by the scales.

After exclusively using android for 10 years I switched to an iPhone. Only regret is not doing it sooner.

You’re able to turn yours off??

Well, it wasn’t a waste. You learned something from it!

Oh fuck no. Don’t apologize to the girl or you WILL have something even bigger to feel guilty about. How much random shit do you remember when you were five years old? I guarantee she doesn’t remember a bit of it and never will, but you could easily plant false traumatic memories in her brain. That’s just fucked up every way you look at it.

I come for the extras.

I don’t know about that, this seems right on par with biblical teachings. The God of the Old Testament arbitrarily commanded genocide against innocent men, women, and children justified only by eradicating “moral wickedness.” You can argue that the birth of Jesus brought a new era of peace and that the God of the Old Testament operated differently than the God of the New Testament but it doesn’t change the fact that the Bible is full of religious sanctioned violence and most Christians see nothing wrong with that.

This is the first I’ve ever heard someone say tech companies tend to lean left, or well, at least social media companies.

This has been my takeaway with a lot of news the last year or two. As depressing as the headlines have been, I’m starting to see an underline shift in public perception. There’s a growing fear in the politicians, celebrities, and billionaires at the top that once thought they were untouchable. They’re not the idols they used to be.
