  • Electricity prices climbing faster than inflation.

  • I'm used to living in 2-bedroom or 3-bedroom apartments and letting the temperature go up to 78 F in the summer and down to 60 F in the winter.

    That's nice for you that you aren't as susceptible to temperature as some of us. I live in an area where it can regularly reach the fun extremes for both winter (single digits) and summer (high 90s with humidity). I happened to live through too many snow/ice storms that went through here growing up to make me able to stand outside with a t-shirt and jeans in 50F and be fine, yet I can't stand temps above 72F during the summer for more than a couple hours at best, meanwhile my sister and mom can't stand temps below 76F in the winter. Also since I'm one of the "freaks" who willingly works nights, I kinda want to be able to sleep on the summer days so my window AC unit hovers around 66F to 64F just so i can try to sleep comfortably.

  • Yesterday morning, Zionist terrorists assassinated several journalists, the most famous of whom was Anas Al-Sharif. They only publish news and facts. Why does Israel kill journalists

    Jump

  • Eh, on the flipside a pretty good way to find a CIA agent in your nation nowadays is to start heavily looking at the US based journalists in your nation. Remember that journalist that the Saudis chopped up? He was very likely on the CIA's payroll.

    Also if you really want to get down into it historically speaking, warcrimes are generally only enforced and prosecuted by the winners of a war, if they have the geopolitical power and desire to do so that is. So realistically the rules of warfare end up a lot closer to a honor system than what people want to admit.

  • Watch those wrist rockets.

  • why is Yu-Gi-Oh so effing hard??!

  • You can do so much cleanup and provide clear templating with keywords

    You say that, but a lot of YGO effects are kinda built around the wording and what words they use for a long time now, e.g. there's a huge difference between when and if, not to mention what cards target or don't target.

    Though a large part of the problem is that the TCG refuses to adopt the OCG effect formatting, though that one can be put at Konami of Japan's feet because it has always felt like KoJ treats KoA (the US branch) and thus the TCG as an afterthought.

  • I think we need a 21st century 'Luddite' revolution

  • To be fair, printers are machines sent up to us from hell to torment us for eternity.

  • Australian Anti-Porn Group Collective Shout Escalates its War for Video Game Censorship

    Jump

  • They left the gates open for this group to worm their way in

    I don't buy this, considering the recent history of using anti-porn levers as anti-LGBTQ levers, I think this would've happened either way.

  • Major Indie Marketplace Itch.io Shadowbans NSFW Content, Trans Authors Impacted

    Jump

  • I'm not "going after anyone against this" wtf?

    You were carrying water for them. Same thing imho.

    Some right wing people have learned how to manipulate well meaning people (usually liberals) to fight battles for them, and this is one of the many ways they do it. By smuggling anti-LGBT stuff in with anti-sexuality stuff, but put heavy emphasis of the sexual side to disguise the true intent. They can get well meaning liberals to think that it really is meaning to just protect women and children by using the correct words, and get these very same liberals to carry water for them, so that they have a chance at enacting their real goal of trying to force LGBT people back into the closet.

  • Major Indie Marketplace Itch.io Shadowbans NSFW Content, Trans Authors Impacted

    Jump

  • Is this the point where we tell you that the levers used to toss LGBT content out of schools, libraries, and elsewhere in the US are the exact same levers used against sexual content as well? They don't even bother to relabel the levers when they do so either. All in the name of removing said content to protect women and children. Hell, you're actually doing what they want you to do by going after anyone against this under the very veil of protecting women and children.

    That's why they do it like this here US, so they (and anyone who doesn't investigate) get to attack anyone against it with some form of "think about the women and children" to shut down any criticism and pushback against it, and to make it look like from the outside looking in that anyone who is against having this happen are just a bunch of '[you know exactly what word these people would intend goes here]' looking to exploit women and children.

  • The israeli child-killing army shot 600 starving Palestinians at an aid distribution point today after lining them up with their hands raised.

  • Because geopolitically speaking, Israel is the US' "unsinkable aircraft carrier".

  • I mean, what did you expect from a team that's acting under orders from DC's own dedicated ghoul character, Amanda Waller?

    A character that has universally been doing the worst ghoul shit imaginable under the worst pretenses ever, hell the only time where she's okay at best is throughout JLU, and that's because the writers were using her to point out to the audience that the ghoul shit is wrong (and repeatedly makes her learn that her ghoulish way of thinking is wrong), meanwhile every other iteration of her is so stubbornly firm in her ghoulish beliefs.

  • Prediction: Star Trek Picard and Discovery will eventually be de-canonized

  • Romulans are gone

    To be fair that one is J.J. Abrams fault with his first star trek movie.

  • Analysis on Trump supporters

    Jump

  • No, I'm not going to. Because honestly with how life is like out here, I just don't have the energy for rebuttals. If you want to ask me questions, fine. But I've seen this happen enough times that mustering anything more than some form of telling the person doing it off is a waste of time from my pov.

    Edit: I'm not trying to be an asshole or anything, it's a very consistent thing (like at least every election cycle consistent) where urban people keep trying to ask "what's the deal with rural people?", doing their research or whatever counts as it, then making strange characterizations (some true, some false) that ends up looking more like a hitpiece that feels like it's aimed at telling urban people that it's all okay, they're good people, and rural people are a backwards people undeserving of compassion.

  • Analysis on Trump supporters

    Jump

  • I live in a rural area, and I think a nice way to put it is this reads like someone came down here, spent maybe two hours here, then decided that they're all of a sudden experts on rural people/life in general. Like congratulations, you wrote yet another dime a dozen hitpiece on the urban rural divide that always goes "urban good, rural bad". Sure it's with different details, but the end result is the same

    Like holy shit, I would like to have some god damn time where I don't have to wonder if someone secretly thinks that I must be a "backwards asshole" just because of where I live.

  • Nintendo is taking desperate measures in patent infringement case against Palworld — and it's looking a little weird

    Jump

  • Nintendo must be after something else?

    You're actually correct here. Because a couple months before the suit dropped, Pocketpair and Sony announced that they officially have a partnership with eachother, the same kind of partnership Nintendo and Gamefreak have with eachother.

    So the best way to think of this is it's Nintendo vs Sony rather than Nintendo vs Pocketpair. And Nintendo and Sony have a lot of bad blood between eachother.

    Realistically Nintendo wants Sony to seriously change course about how they advertise and market Palworld.

  • Children with chronic health conditions more likely to suffer sadness, anxiety, distress and frustration. Compassionate medical care can help alleviate these problems.

    Jump

  • Not only were people not sympathetic, they treated me like shit.

    And one of the biggest reasons for this is that christianity is so culturally interwoven in western (especiallyin the US) society, so much that even your average non-believer would share a good part of christianity beliefs, with "suicide is a sin" being a pretty universal one. Though some denominations disagree, but more often than not in my experience your average evangelical does believe that, and so your average non-religious person believes that to on some level.

  • Gold-pressed latinum was a Ferengi retcon

  • He likely doesn't pay rent (I can't recall) or utilities

    He does, though at a vastly reduced rate, it's the episode where he becomes an arms dealer for the episode where this is confirmed.

  • I am going to one day rant about this episode like I did with ENT: Dear Doctor, because dear lord the first 5 minutes of it has plenty of holes and contrivances to rant about.

    I just need to sit through past the 5 min mark...
