I was just thinking electricity should be charged at reverse volume, the more you use, the more expensive each Gw is. It'll never happen, but if we wanted to tackle this issue, it's what we should do.

We also use "I'm trying for a baby" as a euphemism for sex. In fact, my favorite euphemism is "just dropping the kids off at the pool"

I've been using Manjaro with Cinnamon for about a month now. It works great on an old Lenovo with 12gb ram. Probably going to stick with it when I build my desktop.

Yeah, it should be "fig 1", "also fig 1, but the other half".

All of the Ubi-art games were great, Rayman Legends, Valiant Hearts and Child of Light, all fantastic games. And then Ubisoft said they would only make open world games. Idiots.

She's a perfect Rio Morales, just saying.

Thanks very much for your advice. I've reworked my CV using Open Resume and updated it on all the job boards I've been using, hopefully that gets me further.

I'm also continuing to update my portfolio website and building out apps in different languages and frameworks to demonstrate my skills.

It just looks like the job market sucks at the mo and I just need to keep trudging through.

Thanks again.

The Evil Dead trilogy.

A younger friend of mine had started playing the Evil Dead game with some of his friends but had never seen the movies. I'd not watched them in years, so I invited him over to marathon them one weekend. We drank, ate pizza and did the whole trilogy, and we had an absolute blast. He loved how different each movie was, especially Heart of Darkness. How each one gets sillier than the last.

A few months later, Evil Dead Rise came out in the cinema, so we had to go see it. While this was much more a straight up horror movie (with a small amount of the Evil Dead silliness), I still enjoyed it (I find horror movies quite funny, like an emotional rollercoaster), but he was hiding behind his coat the whole time, terrified of what was happening on screen. That made it even funnier for me.

Nah, he'll be put in charge of women's health and reproductive rights.

The tax isn't the point. The point is to crash the economy so that the rich can buy up as much as possible as cheaply as possible, once more consolidating more wealth into their hands and robbing it from the rest of us. They don't care if the price of eggs, or iPhones, or any other goods are going to increase, they have the funds to wait that out, but when the cost of ownership of land, property or corporations goes down, they can buy them up and control that wealth once it recovers.

They don't care that you suffer. They just want to own all the stuff.

Edit: wow, 8 hours later and I'm already proven right: https://lemmy.nz/post/21369385

I use Qobuz, and I like it a lot. You can easily download music for offline listening, there's a lot of high def on there, and from what information is known about how much streaming services pay back to record labels, Qobuz appears to be the biggest payer per stream.

The app is no frills, they only added auto generated playlists a year or so ago. Their recommendations are less tailored, but high quality if you're wanting to explore outside your usual tastes.

Plus, it's just music. No podcasts, no audiobooks, no games, no generative ai for some reason.

Specifically, control of women, their bodies and their freedom.

Yep, there's been no repeal of the GDPR laws, so they are still officially on the books in the UK.

It looks like Bender in that Tales of Interest episode where he becomes human, overindulges and dies.

Look it's simple, commission a Japanese band with a rudimentary understanding of English to write an album in English with no regard to time signature and release Vib Ribbon 2, god dammit!

While oat milk is relatively new, almond milk and soya milk are older than the legal protections the milk industry is trying to use. Almond milk has been almond milk for near enough a thousand years, soya milk is close to twice as old. Basically the word milk hasn't referred exclusively to mammal milk for as long as the word milk has existed.

Tee-hee.

They do very little when the issue is massive wealth inequality and the hoarding of wealth by very few. This spends around £15 per person. It's doing diddly squat.

I was just walking to work one day, when I got heckled in the street by some random guy singing at me:

"Earthworm Jim, you're so much fun to play. Earthworm Jim, you're tall, you're thin, you're gay!"

I've never been more seen.
