it's so wild that she never wants to eat them. I'm eating them! I know it's yummy! oftentimes it's stuff with fish or chicken, which she knows the taste of! but never even goes for a nibble, just a sniff.
Honestly quite happy that she's very stupid. The only way she knows what food is, is if it is in her bowl.
If you're interested, I'd recommend reading through the works of José Peirats, especially The CNT in the Spanish Revolution: Volume 3 which details the numerous different ways that the Soviets suppressed and terrorized the syndicalists, going as far as imprisoning and torturing anarchists and anti-fascists.
a big part of it was people seeing first hand the Soviet's sabotaging the CNT-FAI's efforts, which I imagine was part of what turned Orwell against communists later in his life.
I still contend that if the Soviet's supported the Syndicalists as much as the Nazis supported the Nationalists, CNT-FAI would have won the war.
yeah people don't realize just how insidious advertisement really is.
your phone isn't "reading your mind," advertisers have such a comprehensive model of you that they're able to predict your thoughts with an incredibly high degree of accuracy before you even have them. There's also obviously a bit of confirmation bias in play, you only remember the times they got it right as opposed to the times they guessed wrong.
Been pretty good. swapped over to Bazzite, which does just about everything I need for a daily driver. Only real annoyance is my VPN. I haven't been able to successfully connect through the openvpn configs that PIA provides, so I've been setting it up through terminal every time I log in. I think if I really sat down I could set it up to autologin, but it only "costs" me like 30 seconds and sometimes I like to connect to a server that allows port forwarding instead of a non-PF closer server. I also like getting to make the choice of which server I connect to vs autologging in to the lowest latency server.
I still have to use Windows 11 for work though, and holy shit do I prefer running two commands in terminal when I login to dealing with all the dumb fuckin bloat that OS has when I go home.
No but kinda, I think I've only got like 1k hrs in Factorio and probably only 200 hrs doing external research for it. I'm v much a Factorio baby, I don't think I even made it to all the planets last time I played.
yes I have 3000 hours in game but I also have another 4000 hours in a third party build planning software, searching a database and a wiki, and watching Youtube videos to understand mechanics and builds.
I'm pretty sure the shock of taking so much damage at once would kill you
