Some people just want more suffering in the world.

This reminds me of my boss explaining to me his idea, where if you cause a wreck on the highway, you get prison time and a fine for all of the lost opportunity cost for everybody affected by the wreck, including businesses, whose employees are late.

It’s not enough for a medical bill to bankrupt you for life, let’s have a car accident on the highway bankrupt you for life as well.

It’s clippy revisionism, the nerds shit all over clippy when Microsoft forced him in there. Nobody really even remembers clippy outside of memes.

Or disable PFP’s, or do like the Disney streaming app where you select one PFP out of an assortment of choices. As long as folks are willing to stay on the platform, Corpo’s got lots of options

As soon as I discovered weed, alcohol was dead to me, gotta be a few of those cases going around.

Anecdotally, all the early 20’s I’ve met smoke over drinking, but my crowd is made up of ND potheads so idk if that’s worth much to generalize off of

This is the first time I can remember the previous console getting more expensive when the next console releases.

I got my GameCube for $50 when the wii came out

It’s just like the endless complaining about Oklahoma‘s toll roads that is never not funny to me

Roosevelt and Pearl Harbor as well

I don’t see why steamdeck users wouldn’t run retroarch which has plenty of PS1 cores including a working duckstation one. Nobody I know of is using a standalone emulator for anything ps1 or below

Seems fair to me, this is their ball they made themself and they weren’t having fun anymore so they went home and took it with them. Don’t really see the issue besides some vague entitlement to a fork of their work

Seems like they’re paying to have their imaginary friends legitimized. Then it’s not “childish” it’s just the future

It’s a thing for me that goes into the same bucket as state assisted suicide.

Matches nicely with their article criticizing Mamdani’s socialist politics

The big marketing push for VPNs where they sponsor absolutely anyones videos always made me suspicious.

I see what you mean.

My thinking was, from Russia’s view this is primarily a defensive war to prevent NATO encirclement, it’s not an imperialist expansionist war. The thing that will prevent them from further conflicts is to stop trying to encircle them with NATO. Which we know won’t happen.

Whatever and however Ukraine ends up, Europe and America will continue to fund conflicts while pinning the blame entirely on Russia to further their own imperialist ambitions of dominating Russia, and Europe will happily fall in step.

so what would stop russia too?

Resurrecting the “is russia imperialist” struggle session

no one from the public has had access to the area.

“Lost”

or that it is outside its scope

This right here is key I think. The western LLM’s would never

Put the sugar back in Diet Coke while you’re at it

I need the following words to be banned from headlines: decimated, unprecedented, slammed,

It’s cozy DS1 run time, I got the non-remaster version set up on my steam deck with DSFix installed, locked to 30fps. Gonna be a SL1 run with the default pyromancer equipment, I’ve never used the hand axe before so it should be a good nostalgic time.
