"Everyone knows what a horse is"
  • This is why I couldn't have a time machine. I'd go back in time and fuck with people. Leave a modern day Bic pen deep in a cave in New Zealand, or a randomly shaped object with no clear use made from something like titanium in a forest in the middle of Brazil.

  • New Bill to Effectively Kill Anime & Other Piracy in the U.S. Gets Backing by Netflix, Disney & Sony
  • It's like Gabe said (paraphrased): "Piracy is a service problem, not a pricing problem."

    Make it easy to buy stuff and people will. But the more barriers you put up, the more people will pirate. Granted, there are persons like you (and I counted among those at one point) who cannot afford things from time-to-time, but we're a minority. Every game I've ever pirated from those days I have made sure to purchase once I was able to.

    Make it available for easy purchase and people will buy it.

  • No good excuse to still be on Xitter
  • Plus now there's an installation script that is really good for basic installs. Takes about 10 minutes now.

  • No good excuse to still be on Xitter
  • It usually takes about 8 seconds.

  • Look at this cat
  • I looked at it, and found it to be good.

  • framework 13 AMD... yay or nay?
  • I got mine last January and it's been pretty much flawless on Arch with KDE and Wayland. No regrets whatsoever. Battery life is probably the only weakness, but I also push my stuff hard. Overall, I'm super satisfied with the choice.

  • Mental Healthcare costs thousands of dollars and is hard to access? That's *crazy*!
  • Hell yeah. I was in the hospital recently for some heart stuff. I kept the socks cuz they're comfy.

  • Anyone else here self-hosting on absolutely shit hardware?
  • The oldest hardware I'm still using is an Intel Core i5-6500 with 48GB of RAM running our Palworld server. I have an upgrade in the pipeline to help with the lag, because the CPU is constantly stressed, but it still will run game servers.

  • Power (by Free Style)
  • She's probably being made to take a bath.

  • The art of subtlety
  • I think we all did. I had both Transformers and Ninja Turtles toys.

  • Happy birthday, peon
  • And here I am taking off my entire birthday week off like a rube.

  • Itch drama is getting real
  • Pretty sure they're just slightly higher quality 3D printed vinyl figures. Probably cost pennies to make.

  • Tell one thing that you miss after switching from another OS to Linux.
  • Not much really. Maybe being able to download random exes for silly shit, but I could always spin up a VM for that.

    Chaesu with another absolute banger
  • It's Patreon exclusive, behind the Tsundere (NSFW) or Sneakerhead (NSFW) tiers. Chaesu only recently started doing NSFW variants.

  • The nude version is very good too.

  • Pixel Tablet the Flamethrower! Ah the kids love that one.

  • "Do you sell TVs?"

    This one was a little over a decade ago, when plasma TVs were still manufactured and sold, and LCD TVs were still catching in terms of awesomeness.

    I was a young, bright-eyed electronics associate working for the big "blue and yellow save money" company. This particular day was a steady but peaceful day, and I was working the counter, cashing people out and directing them to various areas in the department where they could find things.

    I had just finished ringing a customer out for a PS3 game when a fella walks up to the counter and the following exchange took place:

    Strange Customer: "Hey man... do you sell TVs?"

    Me: caught off guard by the question, I slowly turned to the TV wall that sat in full view roughly 30ft away, filled with 30+ different TV models, then slowly turned back to him "Sir, I don't think I can help you."

    SC: "Oh alright man, no problem."

    And then he just left. It remains, to this day, the most bizarre customer interaction I have ever had, and I would not be surprised if it was a part of a YouTube prank video. I've been at the store I work at for over 13 years now, and nothing has topped this one for weirdness.
