Unfortunately, its a crazy person that can’t get anybody to listen to them.
It would be nice if they would just chill and don’t have to get banned.

I got Steam so I could play Half Life 2 when it was released. May 4, 2006. 153 games. $1,725 spent.

This thing about not owning the games … um … Steam is a more reliable, stable, all around better repository for my games than any device I’ve ever owned. Other than the Ubisoft games that are designed to not be re-usable (never buy Ubi again) I have access to every game I’ve bothered to spend money on for the last two decades.

You should look at the External Funds thing mentioned in the article. It gives a different spending breakdown than Purchase History.

Help > Steam support > My account > Data related to your Steam account > External funds used. (Its the 13th item on a huge page full of stuff.)

Do it. Jump in. Just start with whatever you can assemble.
It’s a great way to keep your room warm.

They don’t mention it here, but there appears to be a similar broad positive effect from pretty much any vaccination. It seems that firing up the immune system is generally good for you, and the benefits spread to areas seemingly unrelated to the shot itself. This is relatively new info to me. I’ve never done the seasonal flu vaccine, but I’m going to start, for exactly this reason. Well, that and I’ll be there anyway for covid shots …

Ok, this is a shitpost community. I should not expect a real answer here. But I’m gonna float this question and see what people say.

This person has (of course) spammed me multiple times from apparently (just?) 2 different accounts now. nicole9@l.henlo.fi bogymanstout@quokk.au

Ok. So its spam. I block it. But what on earth is going on? This doesn’t seem to make sense. I assume somebody has actually tried to talk to this Nicole person. How did that go?

This was the good kind. The gear moved the head cleaner back and forth like a brush.

I found it really hard to talk about and seek treatment for this subject at the time, and I was quite aware of how sick I might be. Maybe this will help somebody. I’ve had the butt-probe three times now, and the good doctor expects me again next year. I’m totally cured. No blood no more. Let me share …

The critical danger is polyps that grow on the lining of your intestine. They go bad and turn into cancer. Doc wants to snip them off for you. If you are 50 years old, go do that.

The home test … If it finds any blood at all, you’ll fail the test and have to do the colonoscopy. If you’re approaching 50, you have polyps, they are bleeding, and its gonna find blood. You can waste your time with the home test or just go get checked.

Most folks with red blood in stool probably have internal hemorrhoids. Lots of things can cause them to flare up, including drinking alcohol, spicy greasy food, and anything else that irritates your gut. This is the best-case scenario. Internal roids are fixable with a (very uncomfortable) outpatient surgery.

The are obviously (MANY) other conditions that can go wrong there (external roids, lobsters up your butt, all sorts of stuff can happen), but these are the big things the doc says when you first talk. Roids and dangling cancer worms. Doc needs to take a look and tell you.

And then the cure … oh ya, got the butt probe, got the roids … um … “pinned”. That lessened the bleeding but didn’t fix anything. Turns out my problem was a gut microbe imbalance, most likely brought on by some large doses of antibiotics I had to take for dental surgeries. Some righteous kimchi straight from a backyard in Korea cured me. That and a whole lot of fiber. All the time. Real fiber. Beans. Spinach. Black rice. Gotta feed them gut bugs. Or they will eat you instead.
