Satan doesn't punish. Satan's whole job is temptation. Anyone tempted would technically be punished by god.

I assume the mixup has to be resultant of the constant game of religious Telephone. Not really surprising. It's pretty awkward to frame your spotless savior who is the living embodiment of Love as also doing deliberate premeditated torture, even when it's written right there. And comparatively simple to expect it from someone who's supposed to embody unpleasantness.

So can someone fill me in on WHY this bitch is so popular? I thought for sure his personality would make up for his looks and it does not. He barely really has a personality atm.

He's already starting out with a handicap because I like little noodly twinks and not hulking Creatures who are nearly twice my character's size in every direction, it could be fair to point out that I'm barely past the first act, and I do respect his political game regarding the grove. But I'm not sure I can imagine it getting better.

Does it get better? Or do people just want the bear?

I need them to flip the whole thing. Green bananas are best bananas, and you use the ones that have overripened in your chartreuse-fueled negligence to hastily make banana bread in an effort to excuse yourself. Repeat forever.

I think I've had them once or twice and found them ok? But that was eating them like a banana. If they're more intended for cooking, that may require another attempt..

How do I block top level domains on kbin? For example, I only speak English so I would like to block *.de.

Adding /d/domain-name-goes-here to kbin's normal web address will take you to that instance's "homepage" and you can block it there. For example, https://kbin.social/d/feddit.de

Keep in mind, this will only block posts coming from that instance, so you'll still be seeing comments from those users elsewhere, but it should take care of a good deal of it on your feed if you don't mind losing out on the three or four communities there that aren't in german

What video game is an absolute 100/100 in your opinion?

Journey. Short enough to complete in a sitting. Original creature designs and beyond gorgeous music. Yes enemies but also yes immortality, which sounds strange but turned out to be balanced enough that it's neither too boring nor too stressful.

No dialogue. No explanation except for whatever hieroglyphs you stumble across out in the middle of the desert, all of which are things a player could easily miss if they're not focused on exploring. Still sobbed three separate times. Everyone I've persuaded to give it a try has agreed with me, including the person that initially made fun of me. That one apologized.

Does anyone without kids ever wish they could attend "family oriented" things such as zoos, museums etc on days where kids are not allowed?

I know it sounds selfish, and I don't dislike people having kids or parents in general, but often on the weekend if I ever want to do these activities, I often feel like im fighting for space with children or families to view exhibits. I wish there were days, maybe once a month, where you could attend and no children under 14 were allowed or something. Maybe if its an income thing where the zoo/etc is free, there is an admission price that day.

Thoughts?

I think there would probably be too big of an outcry for many places to do that, especially if it they're not especially massive and the loss threatens to cut into their profits in a real way. Most people who go to the science center here are families, and I'm fine with that. I'm NOT fine that utterly zero of them know how to keep their voices down or their hands to themselves for three minutes, and in tailoring themselves more towards families with small children, they've only worsened the issue, not mitigated it.

They added a gigantic pirate ship play place....that is integrated into the aquarium. It is not a separate area, there are portholes along the sides of the room that display fish and such. If I want to see the 2/3rds of it that is outside the immediate penguin/stingray area, I must also be ok with toddlers shoving into me, shrieking across the room, and just generally running EVERYWHERE without supervision.

Problem: beyond my own control, my nervous system is so sensitive to that level of chaos that I literally just had to leave entirely and go sit outside in the rain by myself for the half hour it took my idiot body to calm down. I just...can't go to the aquarium anymore, I guess. Dinosaur room? Also hard to be in after 10-15 minutes. Among other well-intentioned mistakes that encourage similar behavior, the t-rex has been updated to roar now every time someone walks past it into the adjoining hallway. It's disruptive and you can imagine how much people --kids especially -- enjoy setting it off over and over. At the very least, they realized the singing bird puppet on a video loop wasn't testing well with visitors and finally removed it.

We already have a children's museum here, btw. There was no need to do this in the first place.
