I agree it is sad but also when he was well, if he'd seen someone else in the condition he's in now and had the choice to either cure them or make $1 for himself that he didn't even need, I'm 100% convinced he'd have walked away a dollar richer.

I know it's not nice to be piling onto an ailing old man who probably isn't going to be around much longer, but yeah when he was in good health he was an awful person who didn't give a single fuck about anyone else who was having a hard time, and had literally decades filled with opportunities to help people who were worse off and squandered them all just to accumulate more worthless power and money for himself.

Keeping him in power does nothing but harm other people and the country in general IMO, although to be fair that was also true before his health started to go south as well.

I'm not sure which other Republican candidates could really step up. Aside from Trump there's DeSantis, who seems to be imploding and I think hates Trump anyway, Chris Christie (who called him a 'One Man Crime Wave' lol) and most of the others I haven't even heard of before.

But there is also Mike Pence who is truly a wild card - there's a reasonable chance Trump literally tried to have him killed and yet he still defends him for some reason - so if anyone is bonkers enough to make it to the White House and then set Trump loose, it'd probably be him.

Note to self: check on DJKJuicy in a couple of years before trying this

I tend to prefer KDE because I'm a tinkerer, but I don't hate GNOME or anything. I think it's good for someone who wants the UI to just work and generally get out of the way without much fiddling, although last time I tried it I did find it needed a few extensions to add some basic stuff for whatever reason.

But ultimately, I think it's good to have choices for both sides of the spectrum, that's kind of what FOSS is all about in the end.

This is how I feel about lab grown meat. I'm sure it's probably fine, but I don't want to be one of the first to try it out. I'll give it a couple of years and see how the first adopters get on lol.

Also if there's any chance of a Fly situation happening I'm not going. Even if it's like a .00000001% chance then fuck that lol

You also get the "I must make the simplest transaction absurdly difficult for no apparent reason" shopper:

Hi Alice, I want one of your pies, I'm situated at location 40km from where you are and I have $2.98 in cash. Would it be possible for you to meet me 26.7km away from my house where I'll give you the $2.98 in cash, and then the remaining balance in a series of travelers cheques, one of which is from a country which no longer exists but I assure you it can still be converted to legal tender if you're willing to make a quick stop at the Belarusian Embassy? Also what kind of apples are in the pie? If the amount of baking apples relative to other apples is above 68.7% I can't eat it or I'll die, but anything below that amount is fine.

Peter Molyneux is by quite a wide margin one of the biggest bullshitters in the gaming industry lol.

Flashback to that time when he was at Microsoft in charge of selling the Kinect and he tried to make everyone believe that you could use it to hang out with an AI boy.

Yeah Occam's Razor and all that, he's probably just a fucking idiot.
