I tried to talk/pay attention to him as little as possible so I never engaged him on that topic. He also really didn't like me because

this is a very funny screenshot but I will be pedantic and say businesses allying with the far right due to fear of mild left-wing policies is not a phenomenon unique to neoliberalism; what is unique to neoliberalism is the far right achieving popular appeal due to an absolutely useless neoliberal party that kills everything to its left and governs the same way as everything to its right

one time one my friends was dating a troop and his only contributions to conversations was sitting in the corner darkly making some oblique comment about cruising down a river on a boat shooting people

just pure treat brain. "let's see how far the human body can go" okay what about the athlete's health? no? the well-being of the person producing your entertainment means less than nothing to you? ok. "well they're making a choice to take that stuff" yeah when you feel like you were put on earth to do one thing incredibly well, gifted the ability to turn your body into a work of art in motion through time, and the only route available to you for expressing that requires you to take a bunch of life-shortening drugs with terrible side effects, people are gonna take those drugs.

Seems like Ubuntu is putting resources into it: https://ubuntu.com//blog/canonical-enables-ubuntu-on-starfive-visionfive2-risc-v-board

hot damn this is actually cool

huge ups to the dedicated editors who were willing to face the unbelievably tedious task of addressing every bad-faith counter-argument, which is sure to develop to a screeching crescendo as hasbara catches wind of this and smartphone warriors pile into the talk pages with no knowledge of wikipedia editor norms & customs.

It does require fiddling, and learning steam's controller menu pretty well, including adding layers to work around parts of the game that use the right thumbstick for stuff other than camera movement. However, now that I've gone to the trouble of doing that I do think it's worth it. I was never really one to fiddle with controls before this. I wonder whether flickstick also works well for third-person action games.

RIP to him, obviously we all have our criticisms but reading How the World Works in my mid 20s was literally my first real encounter with leftist ideas, the first crack in my worldview that the US was a moral leader marching everyone to a bright future.

chromecels will never switch to firefox. the browser could require them to goatse their webcam before opening every link and they would still keep using it. broken people

Never tried peanut flour but PB2 is like the only vegan protein powder brand that is actually good

Granted it's verging on toxicly masculine but I've taken to challenging people who say they need to eat meat "for the protein" to an arm wrestle and I have not lost yet

The capital they're serving here is domestic tech moguls who are drooling to buy TikTok at forced-sale prices

why the fuck do I live here. honestly this is a stupid petty thing to consider as a tipping point but this country is heading in a very stupid direction. At least I could be like "well obviously this place sucks but China is doing cool stuff" but now they're trying to cleave the world in two and trap me on the boring fascist side of it.

ummm sweaty if your vacant housing stock isn't below 1% subjecting rent prices to nonlinear marginal market forces your housing policy is a FAILURE

I'm sorry but I'm a hater. I got into season 2 or 3 before realizing it was actually dogshit. To my credit I had not yet been inoculated against JJ Abrams' empty mystery box nonsense plots. Of course they all have strong openings, that's the entire point. It's easy to make strong openings because the audience can sense the trajectory of the plot and see it's heading somewhere totally beyond what they can imagine. Except it actually isn't, the author is just lying. He suckered you into boarding an airplane that he never had any knowledge or intention of landing.

There's the risk of cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome which sucks really hard. Also everyone I know who did this got fried once year 2 started rolling around and could barely carry on a conversation.

Beyond that, Euros act exactly how you'd expect a bunch of mayos exposed to nonstop American cultural products to act if there were no PoC around to tell them to stop being so weird

hell yeah

not as weird as it sounds, home births with a doula are fine

look if the brunch liberals can be tricked into reading a book that explicitly cheers on ecoheroism I count that as an absolute win
