Vise grip hasn’t been oiled since my dad told me to do it thirty years ago. Ah! All those metrics are starving!

While this is technically correct, it still doesn’t matter. I have built my own high end PCs in the past and it is a huge waste. I’m not even sold on the steam deck yet - I do all my non- critical stuff like lemmy on this 10 year old shit tablet running Android 7

There’s obviously a zillion open source games you could add, but I’m partial to pixel dungeon and its many variants

You need to slow it down with the skyrim. Perhaps some morrowind or some daggerfall? Just to slow down the aggravation.

Anybody who liked toy trucks would love that weird thing in the op.

I endure it at work because I can’t just modify everything to my liking. Lots of political ads lately. Use the hardware mute button when you start the video. Alt-tab to whatever tedious spreadsheet or page of code. Come back and restart the video in two minutes.

Who has always lived anywhere? What entitles anyone to anything?

The Jews are not all that great. The Jewish settlers in Israel have always been out to kill. Conversely, the Palestinians have always been pissed at the so-called Zionists who just started showing up and claiming land. Actually Settlers from Israel keep doing that illegal shot.

This conflict did not start in 2023. It’s a bit older.

None of what’s happening squares as a reasonable response. Munich is some horrible memory. Maybe someone else is obsessed with it, but the genocide occurring now is the concern.

Anyone who is sane is like fuck Israel fuck Hamas. We need those buildings. Stop you fucking idiots.

gets assasinated

Cops going around and asking about purple rocks would cause a tiny stir. A kid would be aware of that and entertained. This is pre- internet and It’s Soviet culture. I’m not supporting the Soviets, but people talked to each other, which is generically quite positive.

You are not criticizing the OP, I guess, because you acknowledge their point, that it was meaningless, but it was entertaining to distract the Stasi. But you are criticizing the OP, because you think the Stasi were so competent?

It’s a slippery slope. There’s no sense or consistency to allowing books of religion but not books of philosophy, which are also often not credible. Some new age manosphere grifter would love to get their trash into jail. Or whatever’s going as the Celestine Prophecy or the Secret these days. Or The Game, lol

Since they’re westerners there at the jail in Kentucky, I’d like some David Hume or John Locke. Kant is good, requires a lot of focus, might get you twisted up with anxiety, Marx or Hegel if you’re even more masochistic. it would be amazing to sneak in some 20th century Spanish antifascist text, but that might turn out to be anachronistic. I’d say you need a dictionary for much of this, but same with the bible.

FOSS in general … and FOSS social media … is a leftist answer to capitalist social media …

This is how you can tell me you’re a troll and know nothing of the history of personal computing.

Edit: not sure if you were sarcastic or not, based on other comments. Either my instance or my mobile browser makes it hard to see everything in a coherent way.

i didn’t mean to misrepresent myself. i speak german, but not natively. it is a fantastic language for terrifying phrases like “just chillin, how you?” or “weapons of mass destruction”. not doing it now because fuck the gimmick.

nah! your insights have been most inspiring. i do apologize for the delay as after our most recent discourse i descended to the uppermost heights of my waterlogged dungeon library for a fortnight. i found the most dreadful poem attributed to none other than The Caterwauling Fellows and it is an amazing document of undersea carnivorous plant life. i shall have a monk transcribe it and ship it to you via bird forthwith.

can’t disagree but it’s literally a stone age problem. the same logic has led to nuclear proliferation and doctrines of mutual assured destruction. that sounds much more terrifying in german but I can’t find the correct translation atm. not to mention capitalism and the proliferation of killing machines for profit.

in short, i think taking the bullets out of your stupid little gun is the right way to go. try it. you won’t die.

and that’s what your 2A right earns you. people with even less self-awareness or judgment than me are just walking around everywhere you go with guns in their pockets.
