Your opinions are certainly grounded in reality at least. It’s refreshing to read something sensible for a change.

Sadly, I tend to agree. It’s not just the US either, this shit is very much a global issue.

Uh, I don’t have anything against America as a whole, but saying y’all don’t like irrational things rings pretty fucking false in my ears atm.

It only took 90 years until the majority apparently forgot 1935-1945 completely.

If you think that’s the worst that’s going to happen I almost feel sorry for ya.

This is 1934 all over again, but even worse.

He’s keeping it closed, because there’s nasty shit on the other side. Are ya’ll eating crazy pills or something?

Wouldn’t that be the webway must remain closed, in this case?

Thank you, sounds interesting.

I built a decent rig at the time 2 years ago for a 10 year old for less than 600€. Sure, some parts were used and it’s obviously no monster but he’s still using it daily. He’s learning how to upgrade it every time I have money for it, too.

You don’t have to buy all new Nvidia GPUs for $550 a piece to play games, ya know?

That’s not quite it though. He might’ve used autocratic measures, even cruelty from certain points of view, but in the end he saw something nobody else did, and acted to save his species.

…and in the end he gave up god-like powers to preserve what was left of his humanity and went on full well he couldn’t win in any conventional manner. After said confrontation he willingly shackled himself in perpetual agony to give the species he just gave everything for a chance to rebuild and forge on. He even built a safeguard or two for …unforeseen events.

Do you see orange douchebag doing any of that for anyone else, ever?

Also Finnish, and where I live it’s not only free to do as much laundry as you want up to three hours/day down in the basement but everyone in the house helps to keep the washers and dryers clean and functional as well as regularly clean the common areas together. As a 38 year old man it’s quite funny to hang around and clean with a bunch of older ladies, lol.

…and ofc that sweet unlimited internet for free is nice as well.

It wasn’t funny 8 years ago, and still isn’t.

Why would anyone believe anything that he says, ever?

Nobody can escape having to share the planet with right-wing dumbass fuckwits either, but here we are.

Ain’t that the truth. The amount and types keep changing as they grow, too.

If you allow for some cultural differences Nintendo is not really acting all that weird. It’s a conservative (in the original meaning) company in a very conservative country. They play it close to the vest and are very careful about protecting what they feel is theirs to protect.

Don’t get me wrong though, I dislike what they’ve been doing as well and I’m not defending them. From their perspective they probably don’t look at it like that though. For them it’s mostly what they feel like is defensive measures to protect their stuff. I’m certain they won’t stop until they’ve done their best to utterly destroy the emulator market at large. For me at least that’s the only reason I need to completely boycott them.

It fucking sucks, but this is what capitalism comes down to. Hopefully they get some sense slapped into them at some point soon by a judge somewhere.

Konami on the other hand, that shit just boggles my mind. I don’t understand any of the choices they’ve made for a while now.

Nevermind the purple, although it’s ugly as hell, but having that dead space in the corner doesn’t leave much room for prep work, since both ends are also basically useless for anything you actually do in the kitchen except perhaps as temporary storage. This leaves you with exactly one place to actually prep on, and it’s not exactly a large one either.

We also know full well that the corner would be full of appliances as well, which leaves us with even less room.

Shitty kitchen all around, imo.

You think Musk supports free speech in any way, form or shape?

Not if you live with chronic pain it won’t. He clearly does, and a lot of people do for a multitude of reasons.

Source: I’m 38 with a couple of organs of a 60+ year old due to an autoimmune disorder. I’ll be blind in a few years, and after that the real fun begins.

No, that’s just you. I’m genuinely curious why you’d think anyone would ever make the argument Pluto isn’t part of our solar system.

You’re probably correct in that it is a balancing act with no real winners.

It’s too bad so few seem to be able to see the nuances.
