Because stroking the bratwurst can be addictive and lead to destructive behaviours.

Chloromancer? Yeah, I remember RIFT fondly, and I feel sad that Gamigo are milking the rotten husk of Trion Worlds out of every last cent before they inevitably shut all their games down.
I think the reason FFXIV is enjoyable is more-so that if you act like a toxic dickwad, you’ll be yeeted out of the community at record pace by Square Enix, because unlike Blizzard, they actually enforce their game rules.
Healing is fun when the community is supportive and not when people are blowing a gasket over imperfect play.
I’m nowhere near as into MMOs as I was years ago, but I honestly preferred non-DPS roles. Healing was my forte and I actually feel proud of myself for nearly clearing Icecrown Citadel Heroic during my WoW heyday. Had to quit several weeks into joining a decent guild because of sixth form.
Dunno whether it’s a European thing but I’ve always found MMO (and MOBA) communities to be toxic-as-fuck and that’s what turned me away from hardcore raiding. Things were once so bad that I got bullied and harassed off of a server (Turalyon EU, horde side) during my teenage years.
I could write an entire novella of negative experiences I’ve had with players in both game genres, but I’d be going off on a massive tangent.
All I’ll say is that this meme is accurate. Healers get a lot of flak when things go wrong, and it takes a certain level of masochism to actually want to play with the kind of verbally abusive, sociopathic, basement-dwelling turbovirgins that flip out with slur-filled nerd rage, messages telling you to off yourself, and wishes that you’ll die of cancer, all because you didn’t parse highly during a raid boss or didn’t carry their hardstuck asses in a Ranked League of Legends game.
The hardest part about World of Warcraft (at least from a PvE perspective) isn’t playing your class well. It’s having to wade through a community rife with elitism, gatekeeping, unattainable catch-22’s to join a raid group and toxicity. Final Fantasy XIV is a bit better, but that’s because unlike Blizzard, Square Enix actually invest in customer service and actually enforce their player conduct rules.
The same place that regularly bullies and bear-baits ‘lulcows’ for entertainment? The same people who bullied an autistic adult over a shitty Sonic fan character webcomic?
I mean we can mock Putin’s supposed manchild attitude as much as we like, but when this manchild is armed with nuclear weapons, that’s when we gotta be careful.
Unlikely, since helicopters are pretty dangerous (especially cold war era ones), have a single point of failure, and the accident apparently happened in bad conditions and in a mountainous region.
Also the Iranian president is more of a state figurehead than an actual ruler with the power to change the country. The Ayatollah is the one pulling the strings.
Don’t even think Iran are going to blame this on Israel, as they would get clapped in a direct confrontation with the IDF, and they know it.
It’s not “le gay bad”, but more-so the idea of turning Putin into a gay icon in direct opposition to his identity politics.
Even if they eventually decide not to undergo those procedures, all you habr to do is take them off the blockers and they’d undergo puberty as normal. There’s not all that much downside for an awful lot of upside for those in need.
Is that actually true? Do those medications actually permanently prevent puberty after a certain point?
As much as I want to stick it to Putin, I’m fleeing to Ireland the moment something like this happens.
I don’t feel like being vaporized by a Soviet warhead.
Can’t bring back someone who died of natural causes, unfortunately 😔
Maybe the Super Dragon Balls could.
Suyu 😂😂😂😂
It’s like they’re begging Nintendo to sic private investigators and a whole centurion of highly paid lawyers on them.
In terms of the more populous instances, I think Lemmy reminds me of old Reddit before the site went mainstream, minus the jailbait, incest-posting, rampant racism and other degenerate shit that Reddit used to be known for.
Nobody wants a war between NATO and Russia because in that scenario, everybody loses.
Russia wouldn’t win a ground conflict, but they’d sure-as-hell nuke the fuck out of every major city.
Isn’t Java known for spitting out random errors?
I mean it’s hilarious that we pilloried Elon Musk for trying to sue someone for tracking his private jet with publicly available records and posting this online, but the same people are defending Taylor Swift for doing the same.
I don’t think it’s a gender bias so much as it’s a bias towards people we don’t like.
So what’s the verdict? Novichok? Polonium?
This crap right here is why we need to keep Putin in check.
National Rally are basically the French equivalent of the British National Party, and they are right wing as fuck.
When they’re leading in the polls, you know that Sarkozy, Hollande and Macron fucked up hard.
