I saw some memes with Good Omens templates and decided to give the show a watch.
Season 1 was pretty good, the kind of comedy that made me smile occasionally, which is fine.
On the other hand season 2 was mostly boring, 2 episode’s worth of story was stretched out to 6, and the ending ruined the friendship between the main characters, which was the cornerstone of the whole concept.
“It never happened but they deserved it”. It’s a classic rhetoric of people who deny or white wash genocides.
I like to “annoy” people whith small “things” that are insignificant “alone” but add up over “time”. Kind of like “overusing” quotation marks in “posts” and comments.
I was seriously considering buying the game on release but after 8 hours of not having fun paying it I’m glad I had GamePass to try it on first.
Just started Dragon Age Origins, I’m still at the tutorial level but it looks like a game I’d enjoy.
I think they were referring to the recent events in Israel in this case but the instance was problematic from the start.
I’m usually fine with interacting with people from all over the political spectrum, but genocide is way over the red line for me.
The amount of heavily upvoted comments there about white washing genocide, trying to deny it or somehow justify it was disgusting. I’m not talking about recent events but mostly those committed by regimes that called themselves communist, no matter how far they actually were from it.
I don’t agree with communists in general but I also don’t agree with many other ideologies. I don’t mind being around communists if we can talk respectfully. But I consider tankies the left wing version of neonazies.

That’s a fair point, where I live we have a point system for entry and you get the majority of your points through your grades. You also get points if you’re economically disadvantaged and some other factors like certain disabilities, if I remember correctly.
It seems from the outside that a systematic change would indeed be a good idea, not something that would just help the poor but address the root cause of why people become poor in the first place.
I’m from a country with free university education and we also have student loans available.
Here’s something that works for us: forget about private universities, invest in federal or state owned collages so that they can compete with the private ones.
Do a scholarship program where students can get free entry into these universities if their grades are high enough in high school, or make it dependent on an entry exam. Those that don’t get in have a paid option that’s still partially funded by the state or federal government.
Student loans will still be useful, not for tuition but for families who can’t afford to send their kids to study in the cities where the universities are located.
Communities I usually block if I see them more than once:
Not sure if they IP ban you because it’s not reliable. Most internet providers don’t give you a static IP, you get a new one every time you connect to the internet.
I’ve been IP banned before from some Counter Strike (1.6) servers back in the day because they though I was cheating (I just learned the AK’s recoil pattern), all I had to do was restart the router to play again.
I recently visited a forum for the first time and I wanted to comment but I couldn’t because I was IP banned. Probably because someone trolled there with the IP that I ended up receiving.
Me and my friends got banned from an online game because we logged in from school computers and sent each other resources. They thought they were one person’s alt accounts, which was forbidden. This was before wifi became commonplace so I guess they assumed everyone used their own internet.
I suspect that your IP is just one data point that they use to try to identify you if they do this sort of thing. Your browser (or their app) provides tons of information like screen resolution, device id, extension list, plugged in device list etc. These can identify you quite accurately.
Really? People pay for short, unencrypted messages that can barely handle accented characters, let alone media, when there are free alternatives that are much better in the vast majority of scenarios?
Or is free sms a common thing in people’s phone plans?
I don’t know what li invites are but for your first request you could try tinder. /s
I don’t even need to buy them. They just pile up unread
How? I’ve read this many times, but I never understood it. Do people just hand them out on the street or is it customary to give bibles as a gift?
I had an art teacher when I was around 12 years old who hated my guts. I wasn’t the most well behaved student but the things she did was sometimes petty other times aggressive.
She once threw a water bottle at me because I had a chat with the guy next to me. She missed but the bottle damaged the wall next to me.
She told my girlfriend to stay after class because she wants to talk to her. She spent 10 minutes trying to get her to break up with me.
She never failed to tell me that I’m a good for nothing and I’ll probably end up as a homeless drunk and I’ll live beside the road.
She always made fun of my drawings and paintings trying to humiliate me in front of the class.
I wasn’t her only target, she had one in every class.
Glad you took the time to comment even though it seems like the meaning of what you were replying to didn’t really go through.
I started playing just before the Netflix show came out and I loved it, it quickly became one of my favorite open world car games, in the same tier as San Andreas and Sleeping Dogs.
By the end I became completely unstoppable, I played as a melee netrunner and it was insane. I didn’t really mind because the story and world more than made up for it.
Once a day before going to bed. I work in an office with AC, but if I did physical labor I’d probably also shower as soon as I got home.
On hot summer nights I also shower in the morning before going to work.
That’s a reasonable thing to do from a security standpoint.
