Yep, they won't know until it's in their face.

I seriously doubt they'll realize even then. More likely they'll blame the left and/or immigrants, because that's what they heard somewhere.

"Global telecommunication infrastructure" contains 2 out of 3 letters to spell "gay" with, which means that "global telecommunication infrastructure" is ~66% gay.

Sounds like we have another volunteer for the Human Centipede Project.

All the time. Especially if I haven't taken my methylphenidate. I eventually end up remembering what I was going to do, though in the end this happens so often that I usually end up wasting several hours a week.

No. Although there are a lot of problems going on which have been building up for many years, Trump getting elected for the second time along with COP29 ending up being an oil state circlejerk and right-wing populism gaining ground all over the world made me realize too much damage has been done to realistically recover from before the world becomes uninhabitable for most of humanity.
It basically pushed me into an alcohol-binged depression.

I do manage to make enough of an effort to keep on working, take care of my cats, and I intend to keep voting progressively whenever I can, but I lost pretty much all motivation to make something of my life (in terms of dating, career, home improvement etc).

I'm currently in the process of getting therapy. I know that realistically I won't be able to change anything about the world's problems, but I'm hoping therapy might be able to help me change my perspective, that it's still worth the effort to make something of my life.

I generally don't like Bond movies much, but I loved Skyfall. Especially because firstly because I enjoy the Bourne-style action, and secondly because I love the Scottish Highlands.

What the fuck is he eating there?

This was the menu:

* Panna Cotta de Cresson et Oeufs de Caille sur Sable de Parmesan (Hampshire Watercress Panna Cotta with Parmesan Shortbread and Quail Egg Salad)
* Ballotine de Poulet Fermier en Robe de Courgettes (Organic Norfolk Chicken Ballotine wrapped in Courgettes, with a Thyme and Savoury Infused Jus)
* Bombe Glacee Cardinal (Vanilla Ice Cream Bombe with Kentish Raspberry Sorbet interior with lightly poached Victoria Plums)
Makes me think that picture is iffy.

If the POTUS wants spaghetti he gets his bloody spaghetti.

I do hope that as a starter they made him some soup.

That's perfectly fine. Food is food, especially if its the kind that you know there are always takers for.

Every time I hear that, I already feel my body tense up in anticipation of the tears to come.

See what bugs me is that dude existing and not being in the movie, kinda lessens the whole Gathering and Quickening thing

The frustrating amount of retconning that the franchise goes through requires such mental gymnastics that imo it's best to the first movie a standalone thing.

I'm betting that there is probably some creative accounting method that is used by people who buy/own this yacht to somehow still benefit from it. I don't know for sure, as I am not an accountant. It's just that the rules of finance and taxation are so clearly written in a way so as to benefit the ultra-wealthy that I'm just *expecting* there to be some fancy way they can buy a 270 million dollar yacht, do jack shit with it, and still save money somehow.

And if not, the companies/properties/assets they own will just give them a bonus worth at least 1.5 times that amount, just for owning them.

See! GameFAQs is literally dying!

I think the quote was "You clothe your females, yoomaan?"

Impressive. Catching the booster probably has a better change of success than landing it on a pad, where there's still the risk of it tipping over.

I'm literally no rocket scientist though, so that's just a guess from my average brain.

Imo MGS4 relies way too much on callbacks and memberberries, even if it was meant to finish the main storylines. Not to mention that the storytelling felt like it was trying to come off as overly profound and over the top. It was just like watching one of my Japanese animes.

I did enjoy replaying the first two acts, especially the gameplay surrounding the ongoing battles, and how you can choose to influence them or to ignore and avoid them. It is pretty baffling how that part of the gameplay is completely dropped after Act 2.
After that, it just feels like going from A to B, with maybe a bossfight here and there, and SO. MANY. HOURS. OF. CUTSCENES. INBETWEEN.

Ultimately, I did like some things about it, but for the most part I did not like it enough to give it a thumbs up.

Russia was banned for invading a nation, Israel is doing a holocaust, and they are still allowed?

Israel gets away with a lot, because it's Israel.

I cannot help but notice Switzerland actually picked a side. The side of Israel no less.

Not great. In the months following the POTUS election I was basically drinking on a near-daily basis, on one had because of Trump and non-dictator world leaders kowtowing to whatever he says.
On the other hand it's because of how the environment is being flushed down the drain. Sure, efforts are being made, but it's like swimming against a tidal wave with people consuming more and more, COP29 being little more than an oil state circlejerk, and right-wing governments cutting and cancelling any meaningful pro-climate implementations.

I manage to keep on working and doing the bare necessities to take care of myself, but pretty much lost hope, and stopped making something of my life (i.e. career, dating, home improvement etc).

I'm in the process of getting therapy (I'm saying "in the process", it's taken almost half a year to even set up an intake appointment). I know it's unrealistic to do anything meaningful to change the world, so I figure my best bet is a change in pespective, to reach some kind of conviction that it is worth it to make something of my life.

Why were customs in your warehouse?

Because cousinvini was siphoning their electricity through wireless extension cords.

I'd say "Hey now that's completely unfair!" and come up with all kinds of contrarian arguments as to why whatever they tell me is invalid.

But it sure was 'awesome' and 'hilarious', right? Especially when someone was 'telling it like it is'.

can you guys stop buying nintendo products so they can start worrying more about their revenue instead of lawsuits and patents?

If only. Last time I saw a poll about it, Nintendo was still by far the most popular platform on GameFAQs.

Well, I'm here. And having a blast so far!

I have never done karaoke on a trip before but now that sounds like fun

Turns out there's this Irish pub named Cheers that has karaoke every night. Great atmosphere, and definitely a place to remember if you're ever looking to sing in Lisbon.

(I might have just doxxed myself if anyone here happened to be one of the 80 or so people there tonight but w/e)

I think changing lines in codec calls is easier than changing gameplay

They could've just removed the ability to switch to first-person view during those moments. I don't mind either way though.

But we're all gonna 'hatewatch' it anyway, right?

Yeah, this has been all over the news these last few days. I'm kind of assuming it was a freak accident that usually never happens, but either way, I'm used to walking hills and stairs, so I don't really expect to make use of trams.

I speak portugus meu amigo, I could give you some handy terms for every day use

I've downloaded Portugese on my language apps and have a tourist book with practical Portugese words and phrases, but if you know of any informal phrases that might come in handy, shoot.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


Thanks, this is pretty reassuring info!
From what I've heard, the average Portugese person speaks English well enough too. Whenever I travel I try to learn enough of the local language to get around, but for some reason I'm finding Portugese very difficult to pick up.

Great city! Fully developed city but prices are pretty low. You can really splurge. For instance, I have a ridiculously cool hoodie that I bought for 12 euros.

Seriously worth going to Porto if you can.

Looks like that's a few hundred km away from Lisbon, so not sure if I'll get the chance. I do intend to visit some places outside of Lisbon though.

Also, I have you tagged as 'likes karaoke'. Do you happen to know of any good karaoke places there? I've looked around on the internet, but often end up with bars that may or may not incidentally host a karaoke night once in a blue moon at most.

Going for a week and a half, on my own. It'll be my first visit to Portugal. I've received plenty of recommendations on places I should visit, but I'm curious about the more practical side of things, like:

1. Are there any bad areas in Lisbon tourist traps/scams that I should avoid?
2. Are there any cultural customs/nuances that are good to know? (I'm from the Netherlands)
3. What would be good to know if I want to make use of public transport in or near Lisbon?

Then either install Linux or get a new PC already.

This. Simply put: if your RAM isn't at least 8 GB and you use it for literally anything else than basic Office stuff, it's time to get new hardware.

It's Windows 10 with a newer interface and the ability, eventually, to use parts that are not compatible with Windows 10. That's pretty much it. By the time we actually notice these things, Windows 12 will be out.

Honestly, most people won't even be aware of such things by the time Windows 13 comes around (which definitely won't actually be called Windows 13).

The fact that a lot of Windows 10-capable computers could technically run Windows 11, but Microsoft decided that the minimum requirements for 11 are so noticeably (and unnecessarily) specific should give the somewhat-good-with-computers crowd some clue.
This is especially the case for computers that are only lacking the requirement of TPM 2.0.

Below Zero definitely isn't bad. I'd recommend it to anyone who loves Subnautica. It just wasn't as mind-blowing, and despite the new features, it all felt a little smaller-scale.

I've done practically everything there is to do in both games, and if Subnautica is even half as good when it's fully released (which will probably take several more years), I'll be playing that too.

What will be your first flavour? Mint?

I'm currently trying that out, and I also plan to try out Ubuntu and Zorin, but from what I've seen so far, I'm definitely leaning towards Mint.

As a Linux user and person who lives on the command line for my job:

Windows 11 is fine. People just like to complain about the current version of Windows up until Microsoft stops supporting it, then it was the best thing ever and Microsoft are assholes for discontinuing support for it. Rinse and repeat.

I won't stop other people from using it. Honestly up until a few years ago I was never really that bothered with Windows upgrades, but I find I've been becoming more conscious (and probably a little paranoid) over my digital footprint as time goes by.
Besides, I've been looking for a personal digital project to focus on. Switching to Linux seem like a good avenue to explore, and so far, I've encountered no real downsides.

I'm still forced to work with Windows at work, so I'll definitely stay up to date on Windows shenanigans.

HeeathLivesOn posted...

W11 still has Recall installed by default (even if disabled) which bricks the OS choice. Completely unusable. Also doesn't help that they tried to make their interface more Apple-like but without doing a complete cutover, and still force you to use their old style menus at times and everything takes more clicks now than they did before with how they shortened menus.

I have to use this garbage at work but I'll never use it at home

This, along with Windows making their interface more 'user-friendly' (i.e. hiding/removing configurable settings) with every upgrade has made me decide to switch to Linux. I'm currently reading up on how to work with it and testing it in a virtual box.

So far I haven't really run into any problems. I was somewhat hesitant about game compatibility, but it looks like the vast majority of my PC games will work just fine on Linux (including a lot of older re-released games), according to websites like ProtonDB and WineHQ.

No, and neither have digital ads. Especially the disruptive kind.

A lot of computers could hypothetically run Windows 11 just fine, even if they don't meet every requirement stated by Windows. In the case of many computers, Windows will say the computer can't be upgraded to 11 because it's not capable of running TPM 2.0. If that's the only issue, technically the computer could totally handle Windows 11. It's just that Windows has decided on those very specific requirements (probably so that people buy more computers and Windows licenses).

I highly recommend watching this video before spending money on a new computer:

XD always makes me think of SophieLuvsTofu from here.

XD was generally my reaction throughout the EXTREMELY PROBLEMS debacle.

The 'Temporal Cold War' plotline felt pretty uninteresting for the most part (as was most of the first two seasons tbh).
Seasons 3 & 4 were pretty great though.

A new series could go either way though. Although new ST series feel like a whole different franchise, PIC season 3 was generally well-received by TNG fans, so perhaps the creators have learned from that.

Sounds good to me. Although I don't live there, I wouldn't want to see Sweden (one of the more progressive countries, relatively speaking at least) spiral downward into nationalistic conservatism like so many other countries.
