5 Reminders NOT to Pre-Order Games This Year ~ We used to demand trials before buying before, what happened? ~ Stop Pre ordering Games

I pre-ordered baldurs gate 3 after playing the developers previous game divinity original sin 2 and hearing a rather large amount of praise for the content available in the early access.

It's something I wouldn't regularly do but in their short line of recent games Larian studios have left a very good impression on me and I trust them individually.

To be clear i hate the system I'm stuck in, and had i the power to stop the genocide i would, in the meantime I'm telling you she has stated unequivocally that all the money she makes off the harry potter series will be put into her organization that is on a crusade to eliminate trans people. If you give her money by buying merch, watching her show, drawing fanart even, you are giving her attention and that can lead to others saying oh it's okay to like this thing and that gets her more power money and influence. There is no ethical consumption but this is a hard line I will not intentionally consume something that has a direct line to hurting people, saying it's impossible to do good is a fucking weak excuse to not try.

How can people know what they want at a given moment?

For me i think it's your brain giving you an incentive to eat something you need nutrient wise, most of the time it's bog standard hunger you need calories to function and that's the fuel gauge light coming on.

But if you are needing iron maybe you want meat and you want something that fills that particular need. If a dish covers multiple bases with veggies meat and carbs it may be more generally desirable because it meets several criteria.

It's still not something i feel very strongly but i think some people experience it more because they are more in tune with the needs of their bodies.

What's Your Story

I spent a lot of my life not really liking my body and feeling ambivalent about relationships and love nothing really did anything for me.

While i was working graveyard shift at a retirement home i was helping one of my residents get to bed and she pulled me aside she brought back plastic beads for all the caregivers, she put them on me tilted her head and said wow that's beautiful.

It was like getting hit by a truck i had to leave i was so flustered it felt like my face was melting and my heart wouldn't stop racing.

It took a lot after that for me to realize the full extent and getting on meds for diabetes helped a lot with other stuff that had been missed but i still think about that simple compliment.

You're telling me to be mad at the system I'm stuck in rather than ask people to not financially support hate speech.

If circlejerking in hufflepuff, magical creature slavery and using magic to disappear your poop is that important to you I can't help.

You are so convinced you are correct that it genuinely makes me wonder why you posted an opinion.

So instead of telling people they shouldn't directly give money to bigots i should just be angry at capitalism in general because it enables bigots.

No.

There is a new show because people asked for it, it's gonna make her money because there will be new merch, subscription money, and renewed interest in the books from new people exposed to the show.

It isn't a magic money machine it's the market and people saying let people enjoy things are enabling others to think that this new batch of terf powered hog wash is acceptable and it will make the lives of an already marginalized group harder.
