People should look for safer, legal, substances, like… checks notes… alcohol.

The duality of criteria regarding “traditional” drugs depending on whether they are produced by rich countries or not is pathetic.

Monaco, Lichtenstein, and Vatican.

The problem is that unless Labour finds the most competent prime minister in British history, the clock is ticking until Brits elect Prime Minister Farage. Association with pedophiles and bribery is only toxic for left wing politicians (including pretend-left like Starmer).

Exactly and this is the memes community, not the jokes community.

He really feels the urge to make Blatter look like a saint in comparison at all levels doesn’t he?

These things are subject to cycles. Things are shit, people unionize, things become a bit less shitty, people stop unionizing, things start getting shitty again, rinse and repeat. Most of Europe is ending the part of the cycle where people thought they didn’t a union anymore.

“It’s fine, I use IE6 all the time and it works”

Good for you, you are contributing to the problem.

VHS cassettes were also relatively fragile and decay on use (technically so do vinyl records but they are more forgiving). Humans are also really good at ignoring minor flaws in audio, while visual noise and low graphic resolution is much harder to ignore (though CRT messed up the image in one of the best ways possible for the human brain to fill the gaps).

The male elves look like garden gnomes. That’s why Tolkien said the Noldor were also called gnomes in the first edition of The Hobbit.

Take note EU.

What do you think unblocked the EU trade deals with Mercosur and India? Suddenly almost all the grievances became small inconveniences in comparison.

Me too, but there’s a chicken egg problem of the studios not putting games there because it doesn’t have a big market share, and gamers not using it because it doesn’t have all the games.

There are way too many people lining up to fellate Gabe for this to be accurate.

People might get pissed off when DRM is buggy enough for them to notice, but most gamers don’t realise that they don’t actually own a single game in their Steam library.

It might even be inevitable. Even humans display “domestication syndrome” in comparison with our closest primate relatives, and bonobos also seem to have changed in analogous ways when they became more sociable.

You haven’t been paying close attention. Even his foundation is doing shady business to benefit Gates’ bottom line all the time.

I wonder how’s the weather in Madagascar this time of the year.

I expect even some bigger gaps, because top 1% is usually when you start having enough money to have good living standards efficiently. I.e. at this point you have the option of having efficient construction and waste less on cooling and heating, you can afford more sustainable clothing, both in terms of material and durability, etc. But unfortunately lots of people just decide to turbocharge destructive consumption instead.

The gay propaganda is broad enough that it means that people are allowed to be gay if they pretend to be heterosexual.

Like in all fascist regimes, application of the law is arbitrary, but if the regime wants to get rid of gay person, then they will happily label their “lifestyle” as gay propaganda.

This is probably the proposal that came out of the Berlin talks last week.

I also knock off car-first cities. A tram will not go full looney toons. And I expect that the professional drivers that are actually needed in a city will also not do it that often.

Sometimes everyone involved in a story are assholes.
