I mean, yes, it would be? If I can solve world hunger by sacrificing my left arm to the elder gods or some shit, I'm still losing my left arm. It's still a sacrifice.

The crippling depression that's completely stopped me from functioning in any meaningful way. That's definitely the big one.

Forrest Valkai. He's a biologist who makes a mixture of educational content, videos debunking creationist claims (in an educational way rather than the "look at this fucking idiot" approach that much of atheist youtube seems to take), and just some silly fun in-between.

He doesn't have the insanely high production value of other channels named here, but he's the most wholesome person I've ever seen. His love for life and science radiates off of him and watching him passionately explain how cool something is genuinely makes me happy in such a depressing and pessimistic world.

You people are nuts lol. I don't like Epic either, but if you think buying a $60 game is somehow less work than just claiming a free game, you're delusional. $60 is at least several hours worth of literally working for the vast majority of us, whereas a miniscule amount of hard drive space and a one-time affair of setting up an account is a non-issue. Especially if you use a password manager (as you should), then you don't even need to remember the password.

There are plenty of reasons to hate Epic, stop making up bad ones.

I got to step 20, where my password suddenly caught on fire and Paul died.

My day is ruined.

...what does that have anything to do with closing accounts? Accounts do not degrade.

Tell me you hate poor people without telling me you hate poor people.

You make it sound like humans are the only ones affected by climate change. Sea turtles, elephants, polar bears, pandas, there's a fuck load of animals we're directly killing off. Everything is most certainly not fine, even if you don't give a single shit about innocent human lives.

Huh, I had always assumed oranges got their name from the color, not the other way around...

Nah man, we don't even need to go down the niche scenario route where they can wiggle their way out of it. Even if we give them every single point in their favor, abortion should still be legal. Even in some wild world where life starts at conception, nobody ever gets raped, and people can't die from pregnancies, abortion should still be legal.

Nothing is more important than a person's bodily autonomy.

A loooot of people seem to completely disagree considering how many people pay for nitro even after they removed discriminators (and the ability to change them with nitro).

What confuses me is why they chose to use white text there... surely the orange background is bright enough for black text to be far easier to read?
