They went bankrupt because of private equity IIRC, though I've had one for the last 8 or so years and it's been solid.

On the housewares angle I've got a zojirushi rice cooker that's been going for like 15+ years with all the original parts.

I like the idea of them because I don't like dealing with dependencies changing and breaking stuff and I don't really care too much about disk space in the context of non-game desktop apps, as I don't tend to install lots of them.

That being said I absolutely hate that permissions are all over the place and flatpak doesn't ship a GUI to manage them by default, nor do you get any indication as to what permissions a program has until you try some functionality (like filesystem or camera access) only to find out it doesn't work out of the box.

Spent most of the last month hospitalized, actually. Found out by having a massive ulcerative colitis flare up that I needed to go to the ER for. Missed Christmas with my gf's family, was supposed to be my first with them deeper-sadness and I was really looking forward to it. We just moved across the country together so it would've meant a lot to me. Honestly was excited to not spend it with mine because my sister's kids are crazy loud (though I do love 'em) and my parents/BIL are pretty cringe . Still bummed because I took really good care to buy nice gifts for everyone but I couldn't ship them out to them.

The kicker is I'm gonna have to have my colon removed because it is so thoroughly cooked - but at this point I'm kinda cool with it because that means I can't have ulcerative colitis anymore. And once everything heals up they can reconnect the ileum (IDK the doctor was talking about levels from MGS2 or something) back up to my butthole so I won't have to use colostomy bags forever.

I'm counting my blessings because they are giving me pain meds regularly ( I like opiates, it's bad but I don't fuck with them in my day-to-day so it's a nice treat), I've stopped nicotine/caffeine/drinking for the last 3 weeks, and I won't have to deal with drunk people but it's rough not being with my gf for the night.

Anyways Happy New Year Hexbear!

Isn't she kinda missing the point that the protagonist is a middle-aged white guy that everyone else clearly thinks is a loser weirdo and is only given the barest respect because he's a cop?

It looks like a video game that skimped on the world development budget.

Maybe Felix was on to something when he talked about how settler-colonialism hollows out your soul and kills any culture, creativity or national identity you might've otherwise had.

The amount of times the "Ramirez, defend Burger Town!" scene has been unintentionally and un-ironically re-enacted by western militaries in the last 20 or so years really speaks to this I think.

edit:also found this when looking at the names of burger places in Israel, they really are that uninspired lol

This flat out looks like Nazi shit.

Western Libs:"We'll need to make electric vehicles widespread to prevent climate change!"

China: "Say no more brah!" *Produces affordable electric cars".

Western Libs: "No not like that"

Abandoning the idea that Russia buying a relatively miniscule amount of ads on social media/running bot farms swayed the 2016 election would mean that liberals would have to confront the idea that Trump won in 2016 b/c the country is actually more racist than they thought it was.

Homeopathy. It's literally based on the idea that diluting stuff turns it into a remedy.

Also, if the Tiananmen Square massacre had never happened, then why does the Chinese government continue to block any mention of it vis the firewall and censorship?

Because the purpose of the firewall is to keep the West out.

This is like asking why people who call the Civil War the "War of Northern Aggression" are censored/ignored. It's historically inaccurate and you deserve to be the subject of animus and suspicion if you do so.

Has some other pretty good nuggets there; esp complaints about the cost of gas and gasp, shock horror the lack of big box stores and 2-day shipping.
