They haven't gone overboard with THIS one, because they already went way the fuck overboard years ago and never got back on board

Man I'm gonna have to bite the bullet and make my next machine a linux one

This! I'm on one of the lategame bosses in the v6 expansion; they're a lot tougher than the rest of the game so it'll probably take me all weekend to get good enough to beat them

You love to see it! Every little bit helps.

Fun fact, a Tesla spokesperson describing the car's features was talking about how they wanted something on the car that didn't make it to final release and said "But sadly we couldn't get that law changed", which does... kind of imply that they lobbied the regulatory bodies into allowing this piece of shit to exist.

Very informative, thank you.

You can kind of see how all these problems would compound with each other and make each other worse. Of course people don't wand to pay taxes to a government that will waste or embezzle their money. But the government does need money to make things happen that might improve the situations of the everyday worker. The government needs competent administrators, lawmakers and judges to properly regulate the private sector, but the private sector can pay a competent person triple what the government pays because the private sector isn't subject to laws that force them to be ethical.

Guess there's a reason that corruption is such a common cause of failed governments.

ELI5: Why is the greek economy so fucked?

"AAA Developers aren't getting money from real keys either, what's your point?"

Somehow this is worse than Reddit. Sure Reddit isn't good, but at least Reddit was sane enough to understand concepts like 'working too much is deeply unhealthy both physically and mentally' and 'corporations should not hold absolute power'

Honestly, you love to see it. A wealthy person? Suffering actual, meaningful CONSEQUENCES?! It almost defies belief

TieflingMelissa! She's a pretty significant community figure on Twitter and Twitch, great memes, nice discord server.

She's very down bad for dragons (same), but honestly she's actually pretty wholesome; her server doesn't allow explicit NSFW and she spends a lot of time helping new players learn the rules of the game.

Disguised??? She's the biggest icon in the community for it lol (and a legitimately great content creator)

Megaman 8-bit Deathmatch, Heroes of the Storm, Pizza Tower, and DnD!

God this feels EXACTLY like Azeroth from World of Warcraft. But hey the dragons have some isles and eggs so I'm down for that, love me some dragons that are actually doing well in a setting

Lies, there's no knot in this list

(I joke, of course)

Quality is a spectrum. Sure, Mercedes isn't Rolls-Royce. Mercedes makes cars as their main business and turns a profit from that, Rolls-Royce is a company that makes aircraft engines and produces cars sometimes as publicity stunts (because a car built to the tolerances of an aircraft engine is, shockingly, going to be very precise and well-made).

But Mercedes is definitely a higher quality of build than like. Fiat or Ford. To an average person, you buy something like Toyota if you want reliability and a long-lived vehicle, or Mercedes for a smoother drive full of tiny little expensive gadgets that will probably develop a fault after 3 years.

(No idea why they've listed BMW here though lol, those things just love perpetually breaking down, because the systems they use to get that unique tactile feedback while driving that some people crave are absolute dogshit when it comes to life expectancy. They use a fucking chain for a timing belt instead of rubber. Don't ever buy one unless your idea of luxury is constantly having to shell out on repairs and tow trucks. If you have to experience one, just like. Get one as a hire car so you don't have to own the fucking thing.)

Listen. I do not want fucking ads in the start menu. I have no idea how to code and I can't use the command terminal to save my life but I swear to god I'm going to switch to Linux before I touch Windows 11 with a 10-foot pole

"Until war aims achieved"

Alright I know the statement is one that's very dependent on context, but... man, that phrase could have come right out of Putin's mouth circa 2022 while he was trying to justify his invasion of Ukraine.

In the interest of transparency, I don't know if this guy is telling the truth, but it feels very plausible.

Here's a really good browser game that should last you a good few hours

Otherwise I guess I still play some Heroes of the Storm for old times' sake. I really, really don't like Blizzard as a company anymore, but the game is in maintenance and is basically just coasting out the last of the playerbase before it shuts down, so hopefully I'm not helping them succeed while I enjoy the game for its last few years.
