I don't think you'd have prostitution in a currencyless society. They wouldn't be prostitutes at that point.

It's something some schools do. It's not mandated by the government.

I bought a SteamDeck as a way to test and see what works and what doesn't on Linux. So far all my games have run with no issues.

I'm likely going to be posting and searching through a lot of Linux forums as Win10 gets closer to EOL.

They're protesting by threatening to do what they are already doing.

This is what I'm going to have to do as well since my computer isn't compatible with Win11. The only thing I'm worried about is gaming.

That's where I'm at right now. As much as I disagree with some of his current actions, I still think he's better than Trump.

If the other seasons are as good as the first season I'm all for this. Adaptations of game franchises can be hit or miss but this was really well done.

That was the exact same thing I was thinking while looking at that list.

From the website

Tie Guan Yin is a variety of Chinese oolong tea. However, this version takes the classic Tie Kuan Yin leaves and processes them in a black tea style. This unique combination culminates in the velvet savory texture of black tea with the unique floral charm of traditional Tie Guan Yin tea.

Also, IIRC the few times he was in command, he wasn't any good at it.

Do you have any recommendations for a specific brand?

Quest 64 really brings me back. I haven't thought about that game in a long time.

Just to clarify. Insider trading is illegal but it is not illegal for politicians in Congress to use the information they obtain from their jobs (such as through classified meetings) to engage in stock market trades.

I am a native English speaker and I don't know what "Yes, and" means either.

When I think about what I would do if I suddenly found myself transported to another world, the last thing I would be doing is looking for a job as a mercenary. As stupid as a lot of the plot is, I really like Striving for a Luxury Liner simply because the MC recognizes that he's not cut out to be an adventurer and becomes a merchant instead.

The only isekai I've read that properly utilized the isekai genre was Release that Witch since the MC's "cheat" is his knowledge of mechanical engineering. He kicks off his own little industrial revolution to defend his territory.

My main critique of the genre is how lazy it's done. There's nothing wrong with having the MC reincarnated, transported, or made overpowered. One Punch Man has a massively overpowered MC but it's still really good. The problem is that they're all low effort cookie cutter stories that are just checking items off a list.

They're also fairly unrealistic. "Gasp...is this that isekai thing I've been reading about? I guess I'll go join the Adventurer Guild and get a super dangerous job killing monsters despite the fact that I've never been in a dangerous situation before."

There's no way all these random people will just calmly accept finding themselves in another world with no freaking out or depression setting in first.

I agree although I think I'll just skip this one.

I'm disappointed. Poem never mentioned the guillotine.

The engineering problems that pop up on DS9 are actually pretty mundane when you compare it to the crazy shit that happened on the Enterprise.

DS9: Some component broke down and needs to be fixed.

TNG: The Enterprise becomes sentient, uses holodeck characters to represent it's various mental aspects, and gives birth to some doodad that then flys away.

Noita is way too hard for me. I finally managed to beat the "tutorial" and that was good enough for me.
