Coffee culture in China is on another level. They have fast coffee like Luckin, Cotti, and dozens more brands, all of which are better and have more variety than Starbucks, and they have high end coffees with artisan beans, and all of them are cheaper than Starbucks. They’re not going to win there, for sure.

No way, it’s only 10 hours? Eternal was longer than that, and so was 2016!

You’re right, I was confusing it with them flying aid into Lebanon, the aid they’ve given to Palestine has been through Egypts crossing.

This is a historical trend, new technologies making development easier is exactly why we got 3d accelerated games in the first place. And idk what gpu you’re buying, cause mine wasn’t even $1000 and runs everything great.

It really is a bummer that idtech of all things is moving away from working on all hardware. I played through Doom Eternal my first time on a 960 at 1080p with 60fps and never a stutter.

Ray tracing can save hundreds of hours of labor time over older methods of lighting, shadowing, that devs would have to do to simulate ray tracing. Or, in many instances, thousands of hours of bake time pre-baking lighting.

China frequently criticizes Israel, and has flown aid directly into Palestine. They’re a non-interventionalist nation, and have their own issues to work through, especially with the trade war ramping up and risks of a potential hot war. You want them to get themselves cut off from the global economy by attacking Israel or something?

They can “take” paid time off, meaning their few vacation days being used because of the failure of the company. Or they can come in to clean lmao.

Pretty sure his foundation received a significant amount of money from the gov that has been cut off with all these cuts, I think he’s just mourning his infinite money cheat code being turned off.

Tortillas. Just tortillas. Warmed over a gas burner. It’s a comfort food to me now, but there was a time when all I had was tortillas, and it tastes better than my other struggle meal, which was a single cup of rice with whatever spices I had on hand and hadn’t put on the previous day. I lost a lot of weight around then. Still haven’t fully gained it back ten plus years later, and still struggle eating regularly more than once or twice a day.

Oh I agree that we should not be moving to strip these people of given rights, don’t get me wrong, but enfranchisement has historically been a privilege. Part of the movement towards justice has been extending that privilege to more and more people, and that seems to have positive effects on the society as a whole, but it seems metaphysical to imply that it is not something granted by the state under a nation state framework.

I’m for reeducation and re-entry into society for all but the most unredeemable, and I don’t think, as horrific as they are, most trumpers are unredeemable. We’ve seen even those most enthused and unrepentant tools of empire redeemed, such as Japanese soldiers who returned from imprisonment by the Chinese after the war to become staunch anti imperialists for the rest of their lives. Very few are incapable of growth, no matter how stunted their development may be. I don’t necessarily think fascists should be allowed to vote until they have repented their fascist views, but I also don’t think I have enough right to make that decision myself.

The humans destroyed the atmosphere, there is no solar power if the sun can’t breach the toxic clouds.

Lmao quite the opposite. I respect the Chinese people so much that I actually listen to them instead of infantilizing them by saying “I love Chinese people but hate the Chinese government”, as if the Chinese government isn’t made up of Chinese people and supported by an overwhelming majority of the Chinese people.

In fact it is. We don’t get to participate in the vast majority of our governance already. Now you could argue that a society should afford full democratic rights to all of its citizens, but that is not the system we’re living in. Even in the areas where we’re allowed to participate, we have exceptions that bar many millions of people from participating, including but not limited to prisoners and in most places ex cons.?

The pop up fake gifts are annoying, but something I’m willing to tolerate to pay less than half for the exact same products I find on Amazon or at retail stores.

Oh man appealing to your friends to say you’re not racist, so original. Would you say you have black friends with a straight face? I too have Chinese friends, and my wife is from the mainland, I don’t use them to justify my stances.

Unfortunately it’s not exactly community built, but more like a class of chronically online editors control it and prevent heterodox views and ideas from being added entirely.

FFVII set me up to be an eco-Marxist.

Disco Elysium helped me come to terms with my alcoholism and learn to move forward with my life instead of wallowing in self pity and loathing for the things I had done.

Really those are the two games that affected me most heavily in my life.

He did however sanction and plan dozens of bombings, and maintained contact with a militant arm of his organization that killed plenty of people.

One man’s terrorist is another’s freedom fighter. Like the ANC and Nelson Mandela, who was a worldwide wanted terrorist for decades.
