  • A smile? Was the post supposed to be ironic and I missed it? If so I’m relieved.

    I’m not angry, I’m just appalled at the stupidity of even comparing USA and Russia on the basis of rich people having power, as if that’s something of a novelty rather than how societies have been for the past few millennia.

    Not saying it’s fair or anything, just that it’s a stupid argument.

    Let’s all hate on RuPaul’s drag race! They put so much effort in how they dress, like you know who else? THE NAZIS

  • I did the same when I was playing WoW a long time ago, watching stuff while doing mining routes and whatnot. But to be fair, I was doing it because the game itself was a drudgery that I got skinnerboxed into playing and pretending I was enjoying.

    So I ask this to you: is the game you are playing not entertaining enough, that you have to watch something with it in order to feel entertained? If so, why not play something else that captures your whole attention? It’s your time, shouldn’t you be spending it with things you actually enjoy?

  • This, how people can find watching more entertaining than playing is beyond me. I tried watching people play my favourite games on twitch to see what it was like, I got bored out of my brains in minutes.

    The closest I can do is watching gameplay videos on youtube, from people who do extremely creative things that inspire me for future playthroughs - but even then.

    To y’all watching streams: I’m not judging you, you do you. I just don’t understand you.

  • Ah, turns out we just had very different definitions of “cheap” or “small”.

    Here in Italy the basic vehicle is the Panda, which you get for €16k. €30k vehicles are mid market, €40-50k is high end.

  • Maybe my point wasn’t clear, let me try restating it: a battery with wheels will still be super expensive, because batteries are by far the most expensive part of the car. That’s why EVs tend to be sold as premium cars, that way you feel the price is justified.

    China can sell you the battery on wheels because their government is subsidising those cars in order to invade the western market, they are using the old trick: sell at a loss, become indispensable, enjoy your slaves.

  • Which is not a bad thing, it’s more unix if you will. Router is a router, switch is a switch.

    You provide your own switch and you choose the features: port count, port speed, vlan, etc — or get a 10€ switch if you don’t care. When a port breaks you replace the switch alone.

    Multifunction tools are generally a tradeoff where you buy immediate convenience and pay with more ewaste and more money in the long run.

  • I understand your feeling man. But if I may: don’t identify with the Russians, rather, learn from them.

    When you are feeling discouraged, look at them. They are showing us what happens when you give up. Let their failure to be decent humans be your warning. Stay politically involved.
