I'm constantly amazed that this is a hard subject for people. As the golden rule says:

"I'm not going to reach into your pants, without an invitation. And I prefer no one reach into my pants, because we barely know each-other. Whatever someone tells me is in their pants, I'll take their word for it, as long as they haven't flashed me in public. Also, shitting in practically transparent stalls is awful for everyone, and showering with strangers sucks. Let's all just do less of both."

Nice. Minecraft used to be my go to answer for a first WASD game, too.

Lately, I recommend Mineclonia on Luanti, because it's free and has stronger optimizations supporting weak laptops and big multiplayer servers. (It's a popular Free Open Source Minecraft Clone).

Where do you get books for the Kindle if not at Amazon?

  • BAEN sells eBooks directly.
  • Libby has various options to check out eBooks from local libraries.
  • Project Gutenberg has free and DRM free eBooks for most books in the public domain. A huge number of classics are available this way.

When I look for a specific book, I usually find that simply searching for "BOOK NAME purchase DRM free” results in plenty of results.

Sadly, I find it dramatically easier to find a free DRM free copy of most eBooks than to find somewhere to legally purchase a paid licensed DRM-free copy.

As a flawless upstanding citizen, I never partake of such amazing convenience, myself, of course.

Sure some people might say hi back but that doesn't mean they're a friend.

True. But I've had some great friendships grow after years of just "hi" in passing. We weren't friends yet, but we were destined to become friends.

Are you suggesting that our total and complete lack of health and safety standards and really even a modicum of self respect - hurts our international product sales? How could that possibly be?

As an American, I was taught that maximizing quarterly profits will solve all of my problems, so I have no framework to use this idea, and so I will ignore it.

P.s. Help welcome. Some of us realize we're disgusting. Discussing here probably does help. Thank you.

Any politician launching their own media network is a reprehensible piece of shit.

Prove me wrong.

Counterpoint?Obviously I don't have any examples here.

I'm sorry if I got anyone's hope's up

I hope this was a brief, fun, moment of mystery for a few of us.

There's various builds for Raspberry Pi that make decent media centers.

Movie theaters are really expensive, so I'm not paying attention to what Hollywood is making right now.

The surprisingly deep copy of Balatro in "Dave the Diver" is pretty good.

When I put text on an image, I set a stong contrasting text border color (like black) to make it readable.

It would help greatly here.
