Maybe… maybe they should just cede now, take all the assholes with them… that doesn’t sound so bad.

Inhuman communist savages the lot of them!

It’s largely a non-issue in the Nordic countries as you basically have to voluntarily opt out of any government aid programs to be homeless, which understandably most don’t. This goes for most, if not all, vulnerable groups; most of the help is decently robust, at least enough to keep you fed and in housing. So I don’t think it’s a very large portion of the consideration, almost everything is paid via mobile pay, checks (any, not just from working) are all done digitally as well.

It looks like they want them to follow xD

I have an older GPU (rx 470) and I play games that probably aren’t super new so my main concerns were mainly my tech literacy and fear of fucking something up xD

What was your experience switching over to Linux and getting it set up for gaming?

loud honky bois

Climb in back and we’ll be off!

It’s a European thing lol

Seeing this episode when it came out vs in 2023 really hit different. It never dawned on me how finely honed their comedy was that season.

This is very apt.

Mm they didn’t really spin it though? It’s a flat increase to 20$ with tenure tacked on, which is case by case. The person you replied to directly quoted from the article.

Ahh most of my hobbies have mostly outpriced me as well.

When I was motivated to go out and do hobby stuff, it was mostly a male dominated space so 90% of the time I just felt like a meat bag, and it really killed my desire to go out and do hobby stuff. So I ended up mostly at home.

Picking up something for the sake of finding someone is a shit reason to pick a hobby, to be frank. You mentioned the girl who said all the guys kept hitting on her and she was trying to just have a beer or whatever, that’s how it feels from a woman’s perspective. You’re just trying to go out and do something menial in life that everyone should be able to enjoy unmolested, or have the right to at bare minimum, and suddenly it’s dick o’clock.

I mean idk. I see it from a woman’s perspective, having been in that situation numerous times, I can tell you 90000% of life would be easier if I was just a dude. I could just go out and enjoy absolutely banal, stupidly mindless shit and nobody would bat an eye, because penis, I guess? Being objectified blows ass.

Not saying you were one of “those” guys, but to put it in perspective maybe, both of you were at opposite ends of the lonely spectrum, and felt isolated for different reasons.

I think everyone would be a lot happier in life, or at least at peace, with some solid introspection and having a sit down (with yourself) about things. There is so much social pressure to go out and do XYZ because fomo and you get so easily swept up in it when your immediate social and cultural circle is constructed on potentially damaging or dated concepts. I think there is much more to be gleaned from asking why you feel a certain way then trying to find how to put a bandaid on it.

Hobbies if you have time or money? And not hobbies for the sake of trying to find someone romantically, but something you genuinely enjoy. Local game stores can be a good way to find out about other adjacent events (if they are big enough) or trivia nights at bars, etc.

I’ve given up on paper because my commander deck would cost a silly amount to update to the current year of “gotta go fast” play, so I stick to arena and play brawl. I absolutely detest the weird secret deck rating system they use to find matches, it is baffling. Part of me wants to give cockatrice a proper effort to learn but my last experience was everyone secretly just wants to play modern 3 turn win combos or whatever under the guise of commander which… is not fun.

I do miss FnM but where I live there is just zero scene for it sadly.

Not to mention they were fine without ads and forcing content creators to spew the whole “like and subscribe or else the algorithm will hunt me down” bullshit. This is all because of corporate greed, it’s so disgusting. They just want to get on the subscription gravy train because it lets them have their cake and eat it too, meanwhile content creators are left out in the cold even though they’re the only reason people still use YT at this point.

My brain. Just let me fucking fall asleep.

Someone else suggested Rush Limbaugh in a different comment and it is ringing a bell, I’m thinking it was him?

… oh my god
