Bit hard to imagine a direct world war between nuclear powers.

Nah. Germany has health insurance and while it’s far from perfect, it’s on a different planet compared to US health insurance.

“Communist” states in the 20th century weren’t so hot, either, and we have been exploiting the hell out of the planet for thousands of years before (often to our immediate detriment). Capitalism is just more efficient at it.

And keep electing that Congress during the next midterms.

What exactly are they deterring?

I found that having no-true-scotsman discussions generally doesn’t lead anywhere. These kinds of “feminists” suck, but they’re still distinct from regular misogynists.

There’s plenty of anti-prostitution feminists.

We don’t know that. He could totaly have talked to an acquaintance and referred to her as an “insta thot”.

LOL

Man, I wish. We’re currently mostly importing all the bullshit tech from the US. And the EU is still trying to make preinstalled government spyware on every phone happen.

I, too, was wondering. Get well soon (for your sake, not just because I want more posts lol)!

I should probably work some more on my own depression …

The books definitely have many problematic elements, but IMO they’re still good. But separating the art from the artist is really fucking hard when that artist is right now a prominent political activist with (some) actual sway with her national government, and she’s also still earning money and producing new content based on that book series. And it’s not even like the books are completely unpolitical, the plot features governments, fascist takeovers and resistance fighters - it’s very apparent that she has opinions on these kinds of things and probably genuinely thinks that she’s one of the good guys, despite so clearly working against her stated cause of women’s rights and supporting straight-up fascists.

Man, I wish it was only banner (popup?) ads for porn …

Have you seen websites lately, like without adblockers etc.? The bottom picture is definitely both.

Being awake at night is just normal for me.

Also before the English fixed their spelling in like 1500, and then did 500 years of sound shifting. It needs a spelling reform, desperately.

Germans 🤝 Turks

I’d assume that would be part of it, yeah. But that may indeed be a faulty assumption. Anyway, achievements don’t work without a client even if they’re native Linux titles.

Can’t say that you’re wrong …

TBH the only reason I even want a launcher is that game achievements require it. AFAIK this is possible with other launchers like Heroic, but I never bothered setting it up for the GOG games I do own.
