Also, the triangle part is just really cool as well. I love both, but the progress pride one feels much more officially flaggy to me :)

Black mesa is worth it, full price. I played both the OG and black mesa back to back. Fantastic game!

I met some nice people, but had better luck just meeting people naturally in my 20s. I think the reason why dating apps didn’t work is that it’s kinda like job apps online, where there’s just waves of people, and everyone is just kinda putting their resume on their profile. Hard to stand out and meet “real” people among bots/hidden likes/ app design/bad matches.

Usually these companies make money by having users churn through loads of bad matches and then continually pay for premium.

I’d recommend joining a club IRL or volunteering, it might be a more organic fit. Friends -> dating can come naturally out of that.

Honestly, if they could get it to 26 bucks a year, I’d get it just for the 99.9% protection rating. That’s fucking awesome.

This is the drug I’m super hyped about. Even if it was $35, it would be life-changing for millions of people.

Everyone was telling me that this time they would have fixed it. Called it. I think I’m down to one joycon that doesn’t drift :P

Ticks are one species that I hope go extinct. So gross.

I really liked mine, it was fucking awesome… but a 5¢ ribbon connector failed (understandable) and Samsung only allows repair places to replace both internal and external screens and the hinge mechanism for $600 (not understandable).

I ended up getting a moto stylus 5g for $250 and threw the fold right into the landfill.

It is excellent for reading the paper, but make sure you get one from a company that allows for repairability. I never abused my phone or even dropped it.

Not all of it. Just this scum.

They shouldn’t be there. The national guard is for fighting wildfires and vaccinating hundreds of thousands of people during the pandemic. They are not to be abused for idiotic political reasons, especially for protests with very few bad apples.

The people can’t do much against an MQ-9 reaper, much less strategic bombers that can fly well higher than civilian aircraft.

If it comes to something like Red Dawn, we are fucked.

Shitcanned? Some of these people need to do hard time in prison. They are getting Americans and other civilians killed due to medical malpractice. Halting medical shipments to poor countries will accelerate various diseases like wildfire, which will spread worldwide due to air travel. Cutting food shipments will make people turn to bushmeat, a known vector for novel diseases that we have zero resistance to.

And disbanding vaccine scientists, health advisories and food/disease monitoring means American children, elderly, and immunocompromised shall die. Even healthy people will have unnecessary days where they are very sick, which will cause the economy to take a completely unnecessary hit. In an era where, let’s face it, the economy isn’t having many good days anyways.

The truly sad thing is that Pestilence and his goons halted food and medicines that prevented or suppressed serious diseases in poor countries. This will irreversibly spread HIV, TB, and other terrible diseases like malaria.

Even more worrying, people that used to be fed grains and other food staples from American farmers are no longer getting food shipments. This means American farmers can’t sell their crops to the government anymore, and the people who received food are now starving. This encourages instability, war, famine, and worst of all, bushmeat hunting, which can harbor all sorts of endemic diseases. Some have rarely come into contact with people, so they’ve never made the jump to humans as a host. But the more people hunt wild game, the more and more chances it has to get things just right in order to jump to humans and spread. This is most likely the root cause of HIV and COVID, and there’s speculation that Ebola started infecting humans the same way.

This is already a huge problem, and it’s only to get worse as climate change makes conditions even more favorable to bacteria, viruses, and most worryingly, fungi, which we don’t have many medicines for.

It’s eerie, too. They used to be the good guys. Now, they are actively evil. And they (health agencies )are the ones that are supposed to stop shit like e.coli, mad cow, and various waterborne diseases from entering our food and water supplies. Very unsettling…

Are there better alternatives? I was planning on using tailscale until now. :P

Same here, though I heard middling reviews for the first game, so I probably won’t play it regardless. Not that I’d pay $80 for a videogame anyways, lol. Even if it was HL3.

Climate change will defeat everyone soon if we don’t stop blowing through all of our deadlines.

I would have settled for them being deported to South Sudan.

My conspiracy theory is that when a species suppresses all apex predators, outmanoeuvres most lethal diseases, and suppresses wars and famine, the species automatically start changing and self-destruction code is triggered.

That code triggers extinction-class events like nuclear war, anti-vaccine movements to bring back disease, and anti-intellectualism that results in rollbacks to climate change suppression and reduces long-term survival. Which leads to mass die-offs, bringing the population back under control.

Honestly, it sounded silly at first, but it seems to be the only thing that makes logical sense when a fucking moron is demanding rollbacks to measles vaccines, HIV prevention, and cuts to the government agencies that control nukes and other exotic weaponry. While other countries start idiotic wars over literally nothing, throwing their economies away.

…Thank fucking God we destroyed our biological weapons program decades ago.

What the fuck? People kill their adult child for having sex?
