I definitely do get the feeling Liberal/Left Americans (inb4 "liberals arent leftists!!!," true but the particular issues I'm referencing are things liberals and leftists mostly agree on) and Conservative Americans have different, incompatible, moral systems where a compromise can't be reached.

I think it's possible but not probable. It's not like we're already seeing widespread squabbles or serious secession talk (ultimately I don't think the war would be fought on state lines but I do think secession talk would start happening before war breaks out.) Then again something like Trump getting put behind bars could change everything.

Also just due to sheer age, which makes it the platform with the most games period, dating back to 1995 (I know it's getting harder to run Windows 95/98 games now but it should still be possible with effort for a lot of games, unless Windows 11 got rid of something)

The worst world of the ones I've watched is probably Rebuild of Evangelion, particularly if it's during 3.0. Any Eva except for post-3.0+1.0 is pretty bad, but Rebuild 3.0 is probably the worst.

I'd say Psycho-Pass would be the worst I've heard of, but I've never actually watched that.

Honestly most shows that aren't either in the slice of life genre or have the action hidden from normal people would suck to live in as a normal person. Even relatively light-hearted Dragon Ball would be a downgrade.

Disgust at eating bugs isn't political, but it's cultural. It's far from universal.

Put the source code up for Facebook, Instagram, Horizon Worlds, and Threads, and shut it down.

Transition WhatsApp into a federated app (I know much of the world is dependent on it.)

Sell Reality Labs.

Papa John's. Far and away the best chain pizza, and the biggest topping selection of any pizza restaurant I've seen. I'd still say local pizza is usually better though, but Papa John's is good enough that if I don't want to fret over where I'm getting pizza from it's my pick.

Voice commands. I get the utility if you're disabled or elderly, but it seems like a hassle to anyone else.

Any smart home tech that isn't fully self-hosted. I'm far from a privacy hardliner, but that's one line I won't let the corpos cross.

Do I need more context? This just sounds like a BDSM relationship to me.

LMAO people forgot Metaverse even happened

On Steam it's Phantasy Star Online 2 (which I am no longer actively playing.)

Throughout my life it's probably Sonic Robo Blast 2 (a fangame.)

GIMP is way too complicated for what MS Paint gets used for, I'd easily argue it's harder to use than Photoshop.

Paint Dot Net is a happy medium but that's also Windows only IIRC

Firefox I think is actually the best browser totally independent of technological ethics issues. Started using it because I was on 2GB RAM at the time and Chrome was much more RAM-intensive (apparently this is reversed now,) and I've never looked back.

I always feel weirded out when people are surprised part of Russia is in Europe, when I was surprised to learn part of it is considered Asia.

ReactOS is fascinating, when I was younger and dumber I was optimistic about the project...but at it's current rate it'll never be an actual usable daily driver, and with Proton, the need for it is lessening, not growing.

The first time I tried to switch to Linux, it was a bad choice of Distro (Puppy, I think Lucid Puppy, where I learned that I would rather use Windows 3.1's UI than stock XFCE) me incorrectly believing I could just run it from USB all the time so my family could just use Windows (I couldn't have been older than 14 and the PC was old at the time, we got it in 2005 and it came with XP and struggled with Windows 7, and the storage was low,) and just not making an earnest effort to learn Linux. This was all user error. I tried Mint also, which straight-up didn't work on my hardware at the time.

The second time I tried to switch, Mint again, about a year or two and a new PC after the first. I think Cinnamon is one of the best UIs ever made, but I also think Windows 10's is pretty good (to be clear I despised Windows 7's UI,) and I ran into compatibility issues and ultimately found that, with no strong benefit to web browsing or gaming (this was well before Proton) which were the main things I used my PC for, and still needing a lot of Windows software, just being mostly Windows worked.

Last time I tried to use Linux earlier this year, I didn't intend to switch fully, but I wanted to switch my music making hobby, that I do with Linux Multimedia Studio, to Linux because some features of LMMS don't work on the Windows version (I wanted to link multiple channels to a single VST plugin, which is necessary for the VST plugin "Genny" to produce a file that works on a real Sega Genesis.) This feature does work on the Linux version of LMMS, but Genny itself does not (and I did install WINE, some other VSTs did work.)

I'd love to say I'll switch when Windows 10 EOL hits, Windows 11 has a fucking awful UI and starts to introduce some of the reasons I've never seriously considered Mac or iOS (I feel like Windows used to at least respect that my PC is MY PC when Win11 doesn't,) but I can't because that last one still sticks in my mind. I keep a Mint partition on my PCs, but it's pretty much solely for doing things that might get me malware on Windows, or helping fix Windows if I break it.

Also two colas but only one non-cola soda. That should've been categories like "lemon-lime soda," "orange soda," "cola," "root beer," etc.

I mean as someone who is in this boat themselves this is a pretty common opinion among bisexuals.

Personally I think asking for "realism" in fiction has been an unmitigated disaster

Yes on suicide bomber, but CEO of Twitter isn't "worst" in any sense. Having to work with Elon must suck, but at the same time basically no CEO is a great person and they still get paid stack$$$.

Stop gendering fashion.

That is however, with the caveat that all Xbox games have to run on Series S as well.
