I'm not going to pay for porn, but there is a hell of a lot less new amatuer kink stuff now that everyone is trying to make money off of it rather than just posting it for the sake of exhibitionism.

It's kind of surreal looking for specific types of stuff and finding new content from actual studios, as poorly cut down ads for some onlyfans profile, or just the same amatuer stuff from like a fucking decade ago.

Doesn't help that a lot of the more reputable porn streaming sites have closed down normal user uploads. I entirely understand why it was needed, but the extra hurdle definitely makes things slant towards people ivested enough to try and make money from their content.

I think they still have something like at least 3 more major builds/feature goals currently planned. One is actual human NPCs, which the animal AI is a beginning step towards. They also want to do a lot more psuedo-random storytelling with houses and NPCs. They already have some, but they want to expand it quite a lot.

They've said that the "official release" will only be when they've added everything they want out of the game, so don't wait to buy it as it is absolutely a complete game as is. Could be another decade before they're done, lol. They just want to add so much more that they aren't comfortable calling it done yet.

!thomastheplankengine@lemmy.blahaj.zone but it's pretty quiet.

Yeah, hence why I didn't say anything to counter anything else, or that it was a good place to visit anytime soon.

Got any other mindblowing facts for us?

Perfectly valid, and thanks for not just jumping on the US bad dogpile and instead citing some stuff.

I'm just speaking up because I've seen a lot of people online from outside the US running with this idea that gun violence is like, a daily occurence that every US citizen deals with regularly, when that's so fucking far from the reality.

Yeah, things are a powder keg over here lately and the accessibility of firearms doesn't help, but I've met only one person in my almost 35 years of life who's ever been held at gunpoint and they're the only person I know who has ever been through any form of gun violence.

There's plenty of reasons to avoid this place for a good long while unfortunately, but I feel like the gun danger has been overblown.

I have and do, likely more than you. Thanks for patronizing!

That doesn't change my point, that the danger of gun violence is a problem, but is considerably made out to be worse than the reality by the media.

Like, we have states larger than some European countries. If you took the reporting on all the bad shit happening over the equivalent space/population amount in Europe it would be pretty fucking harrowing as well.

I've known multiple people fall into a life of constant anxiety due to overexposing themselves to the media. Convinced that every city was a fucking gun violence warzone. That horrible things were happening all the time. They didn't know anyone who knew anyone who had experienced the things they were convinced were regular horrible occurences. And they knew more than one person (mutual friends) that worked and lived in the US city with the highest homicide rate at the time. None of those people had been even in the vicinity of gun violence.

I've been around for nearly 35 years, and I enjoy talking with people. I've met only one single person who had been a victim of gun violence, in that they were robbed at gunpoint while working nights at a gas station in a rough area.

There are fucking studies about this shit that are over 15 years old that show that exposure to news media back then caused people to ridiculously overestimate the frequency of crime (and especially violent crime). News has only become more emotionally charged since.

I'm not saying America is some amazing place. I'm just saying that the news would have you believe that almost everyone here has had a gun violence experience, or that visitng the US is unsafe because of gun violence, when that's not the case.

How... how much gun violence do you think actually happens here?

There's a lot by number, and that's a serious fucking issue, but the US is also massive. It's not a regular or frequent danger of normal life here.

Even those numbers are pumped up by the fact that suicide by gun is counted in the exact same "gun violence" statistics as gang violence, and the "school shootings" statistics include all from the "gun violence" stats that occur within a certain radius around, regardless of when it happened (summer break, middle of the night, etc) or if it was any danger to students.

News overfocuses on shit like that because it pulls eyes and clicks, and therefore ad revenue.

Again, it is a serious fucking problem, but it's not the kind of thing you're going to experience in daily life or as a tourist.

Depends on the officer you're dealing with. There's multiple stories, from before Trump ever took office, of people being detained for up to a day for saying this or refusing to grant access to their phone. I can only imagine it's worse now.

Holy shit, lol. First site to run with a "brain blast" joke as the headline gets a cookie.

Fuck off, we corn now.

What motherfucker is out here straining their creamed corn? LMAO

I mean for dealing with worm parasites in the field, given limited supplies and (I'm assuming) this being a pretty old manual, this isn't too bad.

Basically instructions for forcing out the entire contents of your stomach or using something that is probably handy to kill them before they do too much damage to you.

Stupid sexy corn.

Out of the leather of his shoes, if I remember correctly.

Neat! This one I've actually seen before IRL!

For fucks sake man, NSFW tag this smut!

I'm more concerned about the words "glass" and "squeeze". Don't need more one man one jar in the world.

The stickied post explains it. Shitposty retaliation against all the news and politics that had taken over.

It started as a shitposty counter-movement to the overwhelming amount of posts here that are just news and politics. At this point I think it's being perpetuated by the meme of it all.
