They’ll make it cheap and have it stream games for a monthly subscription. Gamers will complain about it until the day it comes out and then they’ll all buy it because they’re incapable of voting with their wallets.

“Bit foreign innit”

I think that would be an okay hangover meal. Not as good as a Full English of course but if you were unable to leave the house and had to cobble something together from what was available it’s passable.

Or a sausage added as a breakwater

But I would be very interested to see the absolutely monstrous helicopter that would work on Venus lol

Yeah that’s my big fear, that once Trump is out of office (one way or another) all the other nations of the world will just act like the trouble is over and go back to their old relationships with the US. I think that’s a terrible mistake because, if the system in the US was healthy, Trump wouldn’t have gotten anywhere near the presidency in the first place. And like you say, if he got in, someone just as bad or worse can get in too.

Once Trump is gone, the Heritage Foundation and Project 2025 will still exist. The dark money, Citizens United and Super PACs will still exist. Stephen Miller, Roger Stone, Elon Musk and Peter Thiel will still exist. I don’t mean to minimize Trump or suggest he’s just a harmless byproduct. He’s a monster, but he’s sitting on top of a very corrupt system that isn’t going away when he does.

Also, when he was riding high which ones of them stood up for us when he was threatening us? And now he looks like he might be in trouble they want to be friends again once they think it’s safe to say so? Get fucked

I think technologically we probably could, but realistically we wouldn’t because it doesn’t benefit private corporations.

Or something like Rimworld, which is one of the funnest games ever but is essentially just a litany of war crimes lol

I’ll buy someone’s PS5 for $401 if they’re not using it.

It’s also a matter of trust for me. Valve have earned my trust over the years by not being shitty, so I’ve stuck with them. Epic can give me all the free games they want, but I don’t trust them. Same if some other company came out with a better store/launcher. If the company sucks, I don’t care how good the app is.

• Extremely limited character creation options.

• After about level 40 the higher the level you get to, the less powerful your character becomes.

Equip cannibalism perk and target high-loot players.

And if you choose the Buddhist class you might be able to respawn. If you lay off the griefing you might even get New Game+

I think the deeper issue is that a lot of people think they’re going to be wealthy one day, and propaganda against taxing the wealthy makes them feel like the government is taxing their feelings about being wealthy in the future, causing them to vote against their own interests and prevent themselves from actually becoming more wealthy.

Yeah I love the Smashing Pumpkins’ music but Billy has been a known dickhead since at least the mid-90s. I think just about every member of the band aside from Jimmy Chamberlain has rage quit because of him at some point or another. Last thing I heard, everyone from Zwan still doesn’t talk to him and they broke up like 20 years ago lol.

You go to a friend’s house together. The friend asks how you like your tea, and you have to tell them the wrong tea as well to maintain the lie. This location is now also burned.

One day, a family member comes round and makes you a cuppa the way you actually like it. You now have to gaslight your sibling into thinking they did it wrong. The seed of doubt is planted in your partner, but will never be mentioned.

Or they ask how you like it, and you say, and then they do it wrong and you don’t want to complain so you just drink it, then they make you another one and do it wrong again and by that point it’s far too late to say anything.

Once outside of the UK I was part of an orderly queue to get on a bus, and someone (who was fully aware of the queue) just walked right to the front and got on and nobody said anything. This was years ago now and I still sometimes think of the audacity lol.

Brit here! Last time I broke a kettle I just resorted to boiling water in a pot on the stove. If that broke, then… maybe I could find a gas camping stove? Never Microwave
