  • Climate change will defeat everyone soon if we don't stop blowing through all of our deadlines.

  • I would have settled for them being deported to South Sudan.

  • Permanently Deleted

  • What the fuck? People kill their adult child for having sex?

  • Yeah, fingers crossed he comes back. Even just a check in message would be appreciated.

  • AJ is a government mouthpiece for Qatar, they probably are pumping their numbers with bots. I peg them in the same category as RT and FN, which are also mouthpieces for their respective nations.

  • Yep, higher prices on a variety of things. Check receipts and invoices.

  • My alarm is just the default android one, but my text tone is the windows XP fatal error sound.

  • Pestilence, TACO Don and the Ketamine Kid. Just waiting on the fourth horseman. This is shaping up to be an amazing year. :p

  • We need to send them down there, the leaders need to see things firsthand in the screwworm swamps.

  • The Witcher is the only game I've ever rage quit and then rage uninstalled. There's a mission a number of hours in where bandits get you into a swampy bottleneck, while one shoots you at range and the "Pain" animation stunlocks you into dying at the hands of his minions. Fuck that game. Live is too short to grind through that shit :P

  • The DLC had good open worlds, but the main game just felt too dreary and brown.

  • Actually, there are! (Though it's classified as invasive in many places, so they really have to be carefully kept.)

    In the western US and Canada, thimbleberry leaves can also be used.

    They are both great in theory, but in practice, you defoliate the plants too quickly, and you are still putting extra material down pipes. The best, least damaging solution are bidets, since they just use water, and don't require trees or plants to be cut down and pulped.

  • Oh, we definitely do. People commit huge crimes like flushing huge amounts of clothing down the line, which totally fucks up the pumps that move sewage up hills and over into bigger infrastructure. Many places used to have incinerators in the lines, but some people freak out that it's bad for the environment (as if putting biosolid shit into landfills isn't worse, which generates tons of methane). At least the incinerators used to burn up foreign objects and could run off the grease in shit and greywater alone.

  • Your average bidet will usually have a built-in dryer if you buy name brands. Heated water, heated dryer. It saves a remarkable amount of money on TP too. It actually paid itself off after about four years of shitting. And your ass is incredibly clean afterwards, which is a blessing in hot and humid summers for reasons I won't elaborate on prior to getting a bidet, lol.

  • The Toto bidets have these features for about $335, iirc. You can usually find them at Costco. Amazon sometimes has them too.

  • Most people only use toilet paper, which is way worse. Bidets get you almost as clean as a shower, but I expect everyone is washing their ass with soap and water at least once per day in the shower.

    Bidets these days have heated, oscillating water and blow dryers with hot air.

  • Yes, they have little doors and always retract back up after use. They also do an automatic bleed before and after each use to wash them off. There is also a manual bleed and clean option so the wand can be cleaned by hand (though they stay remarkably clean. The wonders of Japanese engineering).

  • Twokinds is like this. The artist cheated and redid a bunch of his first pages, but even the redone ones are a bit crunchy. The originals are very...early art. The new stuff is insanely detailed. One time he spent 8+ hours drawing a house. The story also evolved a lot too, from his teenage years experiencing racism to his adult life over 20 years or so.

  • I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it becomes a three pack a day hobby for her and a number of higher ups who are currently screwing everything up. Menthols, too. Gotta speed run this shit.

  • It still has some rough edges, even after the major updates. I liked the Panam ending a lot, arguably one of my favorite game endings ever, but the police spawn and logic is still terrible compared to the likes of older GTA games, and the cars still feel gross to drive. Just Cause 2 had better vehicle handling, and that's a title from 2010.
