@NateSzn__ there are very strict food regulations in prison, so while they make not meet FULL protein goals they get most of the way there.
Couple that with consistency and boredom, which is the most important part of working out, and you get prison buff.

@garglenutsmcgee @GambitoAlter Yeah, i think we're mostly in agreement there then. My entire point is just that it's stupid to gatekeep a fandom of a game to only people who've played the game if it's a game that can easily be consumed through watching it.

[DemocracyInQuotes @FreedomInQuotes]

@puck_chestnut @GambitoAlter I enjoy movies too, but this isn't really about movies. It's more so about being able to interact with a media in multiple different ways without consuming ALL of it. To refer back to the OP's reference, if i finish 90% of a sandwich, i can comment on its taste.

@Mithrill18 What? Nuance? On my twitter feed? No way!

[DemocracyInQuotes @FreedomInQuotes]

@Sareniia Entirely depends on your situation. there is no global 'yes' or 'no' answer. Maybe you struggle due to a disorder or disability, meaning having a support system close makes things magnitudes easier! No shame in either, unless you're just lazy and leeching of course.

[DemocracyInQuotes @FreedomInQuotes]

@Nobu__11_ @GambitoAlter that entirely depends on your sphere. I have a good 50/50 mix of people who play, and people who enjoy watching football. I've yet to see any of them call each other LARPers just because of that.

[DemocracyInQuotes @FreedomInQuotes]

@puck_chestnut @GambitoAlter Nah, the equivalency is still there. More so than yours, as a video game is created to be interacted with by a different individual than the coder through some form of media. Video games, while being made to be interacted with, are still consumable up to like 90%.

[DemocracyInQuotes @FreedomInQuotes]

@garglenutsmcgee @GambitoAlter I agree somwhat. I dont think you can call the combat of fortnite repetitive or hard from watching it. But, you can comment on certain gameplay mechanics being confusing or inconsistent from watching gameplay. But, you can still be a fan of the games in spite of not playing them.

[DemocracyInQuotes @FreedomInQuotes]

@toastcheesecake @GambitoAlter That's good! I'm more so talking about the idea that you can be a fan of the sport football in general despite not playing it, if that makes sense.

[DemocracyInQuotes @FreedomInQuotes]

@garglenutsmcgee @GambitoAlter I'd have to disagree with that quite heavily. I think you can enjoy pieces of something enough to be a fan of it without NEEDING to consume every single aspect of it. Being a fan of a game is being invested and enjoying a medium through a multitude of options, not just one.

[DemocracyInQuotes @FreedomInQuotes]

@Zlophish @garglenutsmcgee @GambitoAlter Exactly, it pisses me off seeing how people are like "well, if you ONLY watch fortnite you're not a fan" like, maybe, but that game is purely based around PVP and has no story so you HAVE to be a fan of the gameplay cause it's 90% of the game.

[DemocracyInQuotes @FreedomInQuotes]

@toastcheesecake @GambitoAlter I agree, making judgements on things like football if you've never played it is silly. But, you can still be a fan of it!

[DemocracyInQuotes @FreedomInQuotes]

@AikoTanakaKin @GambitoAlter I see people who flip flop teams or just are fans of the sport regardless of what teams are playing, so i wouldnt say thats accurate.

[DemocracyInQuotes @FreedomInQuotes]

@garglenutsmcgee @GambitoAlter This may be the stupidest take i've heard on this yet. You can absolutely be a fan of art even if you hate drawing. You cant be a fan of the ACTION drawing if you hate drawing. And you can be a fan of sports without playing it, you're just not a fan of PLAYING sports.

[DemocracyInQuotes @FreedomInQuotes]

@Thebiglade Yes, but an optional achievement, in a life where acquiring every achievement is impossible. The only one you should worry about is the one that comes right before you pass away, that you lived a fulfilling life.

[DemocracyInQuotes @FreedomInQuotes]

@lana_viss This is a nuanced case by case basis topic, but i think if a woman falsely accuses a man knowingly and purposefully she should face equal punishment to what the man would fac unless there are mitigating factors. I can see many cases where this should not be the case however.

[DemocracyInQuotes @FreedomInQuotes]

@chrrybbydoll @drugs515 Is it? I've never heard of that! Could you give me a source, i'd love to read more about it but i cant find anything.

[DemocracyInQuotes @FreedomInQuotes]

@luscielia No hate to the quality off the game, but Astro Bot should have remained nothing more than a console showcase for the PS5.
I think the GOTY title is a 3 way tie between E33, BG3, and Elden Ring.

@whale6x $20k is sadly the realistic option. I am in need of a car and live far away from a city so there is nothing cheap nearby, so $15k would be the car. Then $3k to be able to move to a bigger apartment. and the last $2k to finish my drivers license, it's usually near $3k - $4k here.
