You are one of only 3 countries to still use Fahrenheit and the imperial system.
You make your children say a pledge to the flag every day in school.

We use the metric system too. And I'm pretty sure public schools can't force students to do the pledge of allegiance.

I wish I could believe that.

Best fucking DLC ever. Not even released to the public yet.

I don't care anymore. Bring on the nukes.

Apparently "black pilled" is the term for the shitty kind of incel who blames society for their inability to hook up with a virgin princess. It's the term they use, I should add, not a term anyone else should use.

To me, the word incel should only be used regarding men who are super bitter, misogynistic, and blame women/society/Chads for their own problems. They don't necessarily have to be virgins, but at the very least they are currently unable to get laid.

Yes. These are the people who still self-identify as incels. They also have extremely low self esteem and an extremely high standard for women, like they will only fuck a virgin who is leaps and bounds beyond their league, and anyone else is a disgusting whore to them.

Linus Tech Tips screwdriver?

Imagine wanting greedy corporations to shove their disgusting ads in your face.

Soccer or golf. Apparently I went with soccer.

I prefer their linear games. All of them. DS1, 2, 3, Bloodborne, Sekiro are all substantially better than ER to me. It's actually my least favorite game they've made.

You can take a linear path straight through the game if that's what you want to do. You're always pointed to where you need to go next. That's how my first playthrough went. Now I'm playing it and taking my time exploring each area. Boggles my mind that anyone would put DS2 above ER. I like DS2 but aside from the build and fashion variety it doesn't have much going for it.

Pretty sure it's illegal here in WA. But, like, who cares?

Top that with so many attempting to enforce their beliefs on others on "interpretations" of religion.

Childhood religious indoctrination can severely stunt intellectual growth so that when you're an adult you even struggle to distinguish fact from fantasy. And then there are the grifters who like to prey on the vulnerable. Without the source of such abuse I would call it a net positive for the world.

Are you talking about Anniversary Edition? Used to be you can downgrade to 1.5.97 (Special Edition) with a patch since most mods are for that version.

Never heard of him, who is he?

He was a famous theoretical physicist and atheist.

Insert Steven Weinberg quote

With or without religion, good people can behave well and bad people can do evil; but for good people to do evil - that takes religion.

Take them away, and not only will people cause harm for other petty things, but now there is no foundational moral system, so theu will likely be even crueler as history shows
The moral systems we have today stem largely from religious beliefs, in fact.

I don't believe for split second that morality comes from or depends on religion. I think religion is only good at corrupting morality. It would be a net positive for the world if there wasn't these ancient scriptures filled with all kinds of vile nonsense that billions of people believe dogmatically.

GranTurismo posted...

In the world, everywhere?

I think it was just the U.S. actually.

GranTurismo posted...

are americans and the world getting less religious though?

According to Pew research I saw years ago religious "nones" are indeed steadily increasing in numbers.

I saw a "UFO" once when I was a kid. But thinking back on it I'm pretty sure it was a meteoroid breaking up in the atmosphere. It moved slowly and appeared to stop, then split into two parts that kept moving. Didn't see what happened after that as me and my sister were so scared we ran home to tell our parents about it.

"A smart person said so" is kind of the worst argument you can make.

That is the appeal to authority fallacy.

I was talking about flerfs who pretend it hasn't already been proven beyond any doubt that the earth is spherical. It's easy to prove without even using science.

you know this from?

I guess I don't know. But I'm pretty sure that's the common simplified explanation.

Nothing. I'm on my second cup of coffee.

Can you bite into that thing without dislocating your jaw?

Dreams are your subconscious mind meeting your conscious mind. They don't necessarily mean anything.

Ebook. It's just too convenient, and reading on a digital ink display doesn't feel too different to me than reading print on paper.

It's very very fun and addictive when you really get into it. I just personally find it hard to get into, like I need to constantly be consulting a wiki while playing.

I always wanted to try the big mods that essentially turn it into a bullet hell game. Watched Jerma & Ster play it and it looks like a blast.

1) Who says the earth isn't round? 2) The moon is just a light in the firmament. 3) I'm not making claims. It's scientists who have the burden of proof.

people use linux if they want to spend more time fixing issues than using their computer

people use windows if they want to actually use their computer

If you don't want to learn how to use Linux then don't even bother. People who expect Linux to be just like Windows will never get along with it.

For the record people on linuxquestions.org are extremely friendly and helpful. At least on the board I posted on for the distro I used. I once got help from the creator of Slackware, who even changed/fixed a feature for me. The system volume icon on Xfce lacked transparency, so I asked what the deal is with that, and he fixed it immediately.

If being gay is a choice then being straight is equally a choice.

I definitely have been avoiding political news these past few months. Constantly hearing about Donald fucking Trump and his cult of d**k-riding sycophants, and the utterly reprehensible things they say and do, is both depressing and infuriating. For my own mental health I had to take a break from that bottomless pit.

So

I have not run into a single game in my steam library that does not work perfectly after enabling Proton. I have like 300+ games. The only exceptions are games that explicitly enforce anti-cheat systems that everyone hates, but are still necessary for the newest AAA online games. I don't really play those, but if you do you should just look it up before trying it.

So do all modern AAA DX12 games besides those run without issues using proton/wine? Has wine advanced that far? I would love to go back to using linux if it had full on gaming support, but I don't believe it does. I'm currently playing Elden Ring and I doubt I could play that on linux with the same performance as on Windows. Gaming support is the only thing keeping me from using linux.

There's also some issues regarding AMD drivers atm(?)

When I was using linux there was always problems with AMD drivers. One driver doesn't work for games, another is always outdated but is the best, and another is too new yet to support my card. I have a new computer with an nvidia card so I wouldn't have a problem there.

Sheogorath in TES games?

Whatever I was born to do I'd imagine. Dung flinger or something like that.

I use it to circumvent YouTube's ad bullshit.

Does that actually work? Surely you still get ads without an ad blocker.

Nope. When I was a teen me and a friend thought we could dye our hair with koolaid mix. I swear to god some of my beard hairs were blue for years after that.

Fell down drunk a couple years ago. That's the last time that I can recall.

No but I came very close to juvenile detention. They even brought me back where all the inmates were to intimidate me. But I wasn't even 13 at the time so they decided against it. So I got community service at the local humane society, which was awesome, and probation for a year or so.

I have never been in legal trouble as an adult.

Very rarely. I don't have much reason to do that.

Me too. Decent quality for the price. I don't fuck with wireless though.

I've heard Trump supporters say he could murder a person on the steps of the white house and they would still support him. When asked why, they say it's because he would have a good reason for the murder. Because to them he is Jesus Christ and could never do wrong.

Not really a genre I'm into at all but I remember really liking that movie The Protector. It has long complex scenes that look like they were shot in one take. I think the whole movie is about a dude getting revenge on people who killed or took his elephant.

You can never never understand
This demon standing on my shoulder
And he's pulling, he's pulling at my heart
And he's screaming, you bet he's screaming
"Giddyup, giddyup, motherfucker
you're going down with me!"

One of my favorite Cough lyrics from 288 Years of Sin

Better reinstall Windows to be safe.
