Yes. I’m chronically ill with a lot of issues. I’d go down to Maelstrom’s territory at night alone and wiggle seductively. “Oh no, please don’t force chrome on me Mr. Maelstrom guy.”

Realistically, I have ADHD so having a neural interface to make sure I didn’t forget shit would be so helpful. I wouldn’t trust most devices though. It’d have to be free of the possibility of being enshittified, so I’d only be comfortable with it if I controlled the software.

You don’t have a peeing section in your bed?

I learned that if you make freshly ground coffee in an aeropress you can actually enjoy just drinking it black without feeling line you’re eating charcoal. I couldn’t fathom how people could drink it black before.

I just stopped caring and enjoy my rice crust on the top.

Serious answer, I got a $100 one that’s not hard to clean from Amazon, same brand. Just one piece, no weird top part you have to separate. The one before that though I just enjoyed my rice crust.

I was stuck on dial up until 2015 when I moved. High speed internet opened so many possibilities. Just in time for ARK early access.

My dial up would disconnect every night at like 2AM so that wasn’t even an option. I’d leave it and come back to it stopped entirely and it wanted to restart the download entirely anytime there was an interruption.

Skyrim. I was forced to download Steam to play it. I was on dial up and had just explicitly purchased a single player game not dependent on the internet, and yet…

Then it forced me download the game through Steam even though I had the physical disk right there. I couldn’t complete the download, it was too large.

I have a shitty old hand me down microwave with a display that barely works that I know had to have been the cheapest model. It sets the popcorn button at like 1:20 and it’s always been great. I never assumed the popcorn button could be a lie…

That streamer who cheated on his wife. First time I’ve heard about him but I keep seeing people talk about it.

They mean US politic version

US politics is no longer about politics, but basic moral values. You can’t date someone who doesn’t share the same moral values as you.

Not anymore in this age of SEO and AI slop. Besides, this is a discussion forum where people come to interact with people, not a web browser. Just answering his question would have saved everyone else who comes after a Google search.

Need for Speed 2.

Tried running a decent Qwen on a 3060 TI but I only have 16g ram so it kept getting stuck and not completing tasks.

He’s more progressive on queer rights and abortion than a standard US Catholic so I’ll have to take what I can get.

The only “must have” one is ideology. But even then you don’t need it and could replace it with about 5 mods.

Every colony manager game is just a rip off of the Sims if you think about it.

Tribalism and anti-intellectualism. They care more that their “team” is winning, like some sort of football team.

Every news broadcast is compromised so they’d have to seek out real information themselves, but they “don’t have time” for that or understand information literacy at all and we aren’t allowed to teach it in schools.

My own mom is completely brainwashed. She will trust my opinion on everything except politics. She’s convinced Trump saved everyone from Iran nuking us and we will all die of we dare cut our military at all. She’s okay with early abortion, but thinks Colorado had people aborting full term babies. I send her articles and she refuses to read them because she’s “too tired”. I try to talk to her and she calls everyone I support a communist. She’s the least bad out of the rest of my family, I’m not even on speaking terms with the rest because they just treat it like a football game and just want to “own the libs”.

Where I am it’s not even sweet. It’s just tasteless. The bananas are grey, the apples have no flavor.

Nutritional yeast has b vitamins and tastes good sprinkled on a lot of stuff.

I sit there dumping it on salad greens and eating it plain like that like some kind of goblin.

I’m not even vegetarian.
