Yeah, this is depressing in so many ways. Poor kids.

I almost didn’t even post this response.

You awful, awful person.

Good grief, that’s very good.

PowerToys is very much live and available for download. I use it daily.

I love this.

It’s so weird that we exist at all.

Like, what even is the universe? Why do we happen to exist within this bubble of chemistry and physics?

One thing that always struck me is how anyone can act in selfishness given how lucky we are to exist in the first place. Why squander this opportunity to do something amazing? We should all be living in idyllic peace and comfort. Otherwise, what’s the point?

We might be the only ones to ever be aware of our existence. Like you said, in another scale we might appear and be snuffed out in an instant. Why condemn our already uncertain legacy?

Lots of blood and gore—but the game is cell-shaded, so it’s quite cartoony.

Biggest risk is that the humour can be very… risqué. But different people parent differently, and I’m not about to tell you what to do.

Probably safe from 13 in my book, but I think the official ratings are way higher (17-18).

Oh my god this is why we can’t have nice things ffs

Borderlands is soo fun! I’m not the person you’re replying to, but I love it, soo… It’s mostly run-and-gun, but there’s some puzzle-solving, and some light tactics. Very lighthearted fun, the game is terribly self-aware and loves to take the piss out of you and itself.

I’ll humour you! Time is fascinating and malleable and really quite intangible.

So, if you want, fire away with anything you find fascinating about the concept of time!

I don’t share your idealism, friend, but I admire you for it.

If prisoners are not given the right to vote, there exists no good reason for them to want to reform. We must encourage the rehabilitation and reintegration of ex-criminals into society else we are doomed to find that they will reoffend again and again.

Treat someone like a criminal and they will have no choice but to act like it.

Nah. This is inherently flawed, because much like the present system, an intercept can be inserted at any point in the hierarchy to favour the rich and mighty.

Ah yes, the classic take: your anecdotal experience is conclusive evidence.

Well, yes, but the reality is that the crowd-sourced aspect of it is what protects you. But you’re right, there’s always an element of risk!

That’s actually very interesting and reassuring. Thank you very much indeed for the insight–I can continue to use Proton in peace.

Lmao yep of course. It just sucks that we can’t ever have anything nice.

Except that acknowledging that the world exists doesn’t constitute a blanket statement…

This cracked me up also aha

Update: Thanks to @JoyfulCodingGuy@lemmy.ml below for clearing up the Proton confusion. I’m glad they can still be trusted.

Original message: Proton being out is devastating. Why does everything go to shit?
