That's kind of the thing, we want to think they're a bunch of sexless losers, but the basic tenets of advice you get from the manosphere will probably get you laid if you follow it. Following manosphere advice works because it's the exact same advice you just laid out but packaged in a more attractive and focused manner. It just happens to be with a side of right wing politics and more than a bit of misogyny.

I feel like most of the items aren't going to be real troubleshooting.

It's been a good bit since I worked the support desk, but even with generic microsoft updates, most of the 'questions' were basically the worst users finding a way to say 'It used to be this and I want it to be this way, hold my hand for an hour while telling me its not this way anymore until I get tired and then complain to someone else'.

I like Trakt as a concept, I've used it sporadically, but their pricing was always optimistic, even at $30 a year. It has worked for them overall so far because it's a well made project and people like them, but the value proposition of paying $5 a month now for something like Trakt feels crazy. It's hard to look at different types of services at that price point and come to the conclusion that Trakt is comparable. There are actual streaming services creating some of the shows that show up on Trakt that are very similar in price (Dropout as a good example).

Only rational thing I can think of with this recent decision is that they're tired of running Trakt and hoping to sell it off or close it up.

That one is about Chris Sawyer. He'll remind people that there was a bit of C in there, but 99% x86 assembly / machine code in his words.

It sounds like they're trying to do whatever they can to replicate the previous functionality, but without the company who made it getting in the way, the hardware itself is kind of interesting. I hear the battery life sucks and nothing on it is exactly novel, but I'd be interested to see what people could do with it's fancy display options combined with everything else.

That didn't count, it was a documentary.

Man, feel like Norse iconography might be almost a lost cause here. I was looking into getting a Thor's Hammer tattoo years ago... Every variation you can think of has been co-opted by a Nazi group somewhere. I think it was the FBI that used to keep a database of symbols linked to terrorist groups, most of it was various flavors of Nazis and most of that was symbols stolen from Norse culture.

People also forget that he's legitimately not a democrat. Bernie Sanders is an independent, he joined the democratic party when he was running for president but left afterwards.

I don't think there is a good one. It sounds like this is another one of those things where the rules were mostly relying on the idea that the people wouldn't elect someone who was expected to try to do something like this.

51% disapprove and 44% of approve. It is kinda crazy that we only have 5% left who still just aren't concerned one way or another.

Shit, I think we've all been asking ourselves that on a regular basis for years now and here we are still regularly surprised.

Yeah, a mini PC... or if you already have one, why not 5 mini PCs?
