I've been trying half life for the first time recently and I'm struggling to enjoy it.

I wouldn't be too surprised. There's plenty of vegetarians here but most of them don't try to force their views on others, and I've never seen anyone trying to make it racial before.

I'd buy that for a dollar!

Might have to pick the cucumber off though

• Your Logitech Forever Mouse just purchased another Logitech Forever Mouse

I think that's exactly what the conservatives will do. Unfortunately I'm not optimistic enough to believe that this will prevent their being reelected. Didn't stop trump, after all.

Yeah, having experienced discrimination doesn't make someone immune from discriminating themselves. There are dumbfuck bigoted arseholes all across the spectrum of humanity.

Maybe it means they can't be bothered to try something different.

If they're very small and kickable this might be cool.

I'm old enough to remember when Thatcher first became PM and from what I've seen Britain's long term memory is pretty shit.

Yeah, FPTP is a shitty system and needs to be changed. But it's disconcerting to consider how many hard right Reform MPs we'd have now if we had proportional representation.

Yeah, I've made that mistake too. Thing is, if you really mean it then waiting until they say those words to you first kinda feels dishonest and manipulative. Like, if you're feeling that crazy feeling it makes you want them to know exactly how you feel and be able to give informed consent to falling in love. You want them to know how you feel because you don't want to be intense and creepy when they maybe think it's just a fling. You want you words to maybe unlock part of them that feels the same way.

A good suggestion is to not say it during or right after sex in a new relationship.

So yeah, I've fucked up too by saying 'i love you'. But I've also said it first and started a relationship that was maybe the best I've had.

I dunno, I guess I think that when you love someone honesty is the best policy. It won't always work out and when it fucks up you'll be hurting - but you'll at least know you were being open, not hiding stuff.

I hope those words have worked out better for you since!

Has a modern military ever gone up against an enemy using lots of small cheap drones though? I'm sure they have plans in place, just can't recall if they've ever really been tested, aside from Russia with the results we see.

Yeah, it did this to me a few months back. Got the files back local eventually but it was a big pain in my arse. If I had time to learn another os I'd already be gone. Seems like Microsoft is determined to asset-strip whatever good reputation their product had left.

I love RTS but I rarely play it these days because I don't have a lot of screen time. When I have half an hour to pick up my device I'm probably going to play an FPS. I did start a play through of the original homeworld campaigns a while back but I've not had time to progress far.

Yeah competition won't work in a market where some competitors have such massive amounts of wealth. This is a failure of unrestrained capitalism and it's bad for consumers ultimately.

Isn't this just voice recognition software?

For one glorious moment of misreading there I thought there was a humane pin strap on.

Shame you're getting so downvoted. People are so determined to believe in good philanthropic billionaires that they forget the system that allows the accumulation of such ridiculous wealth doesn't work for nice philanthropic people. It was like this with Elon musk, before he sacked his publicists (my guess) before the cave diver thing. People were saying he was going so save humanity or some shit. All he's done is fuck up twitter. Same with this guy. I use steam and I think my steam deck is a cool little machine but that doesn't inspire me to tongue the sweaty arsehole of an obscenely rich guy.

That looks great. I've been rediscovering tofu a bit recently, it's so versatile.

Yeah, my job sometimes requires me to drive round areas where people may be sunbathing. What I do is drive in first gear even if it is frustrating and be observant because I don't want to hit anyone. Seems like this ought to be common sense when you're driving and humans may be lying on the ground.
