Half Life Alyx is far more recent

Turnip? Intentional or hilarious unintentional typo?

It doesn't have an actual cartridge slot, so it's not strictly superior

Exactly why won't take root there

I miss it. I came over right after Digg died, almost half a decade before 2010. Thought it was the ugliest site I had ever seen and found it super confusing.

People did largely speak their minds though, lots of controversial posts and uncensored humor, yeah it was nice, but the change in Reddit really mirrors general cultural changes too, it was more driven by Gen X and older millennials, more tech driven, and more what people would call edgy.

It was the wild west not so much because Reddit specifically was, but because that's what broad tech bro Internet culture was. We also had relatively unmoderated Xbox Live and online gaming and other things that are hard to explain to folks now.

What we would call social media existed, Digg called it Social Bookmarking for a Digg / Reddit / Slashdot model. Myspace was just giving away to Facebook, Twitter was getting off the ground, and chat rooms, like Yahoo chatrooms and Geocities were so unhinged back then.

There are several models of morality, not just the individualist morality models we understand intuitively.

I can't account for your opinions, but I grew up in a home without air conditioning. We kept our butter on the dining room table, in a glass container. We didn't refrigerate it, we used a butter knife to get some for our food.

I was surprised to learn that people ever refrigerate butter, and thought grocery stores did it to extend the life of the butter until someone bought it and brought it home.

I never got sick from the butter to my knowledge. It was never a puddle of liquid either, it was soft and easy to spread.

I'm more shocked to find out most people here aren't echoing any like in kind sentiment. Was my family strange? Is this actually that atypical?

How can you be against porn? It's neither good or bad, it exists and I basically don't watch it, but I recognize that others do, why is that a problem that needs solving? To be clear, I'm reading your response as against porn in all forms and for all audiences based on your wording, is that what you mean?

I meant that it's not true that it turns to liquid
