Part of me feels like it ended up similar to the situation Ark is in now where the player base is split. I’ve honestly not heard anything much about CS2 recently which is curious. It was a shame it was such a let down on release after how much love CS got.

I didn’t know there was an Etsy alternative yet!

110 is hot but I feel like for TX/AZ/CA is not like… freakishly hot. Way back like 10? years ago we (CA) had a random summer that was like maybe 112 on the worst days? Even 100°+ days in summer hasn’t been uncommon for a long time. I get that it’s bad because global warming is happening but also they’re all pretty well equipped to handle heat, it’s just the fires that fuck shit up.

It reads “15 more years of dealing with these assholes, I can only knock so much shit off of a counter”.

I have an older GPU (rx 470) and I play games that probably aren’t super new so my main concerns were mainly my tech literacy and fear of fucking something up xD

What was your experience switching over to Linux and getting it set up for gaming?

So a reverse old yeller?

LL bean used to be the shit in the early 00s, now it’s basically overpriced Walmart garbage

I honestly don’t understand why it hasn’t died out faster, it’s such a huge waste all around and so much stress for like… some pictures commentating the time you herded cats into the same room and maybe managed to keep them from fighting?

We’ll go full circle back to the days of yore when home improvement HGTV wasn’t also bundled with an irl soap opera.

Didn’t they recently say it was kind of a planet again?

Climb in back and we’ll be off!

This quote always feels apt: “People of faith, preying on people who pray”

(: thanks. I’m studying to be a teacher in Europe but grew up with the standard SAT American educational experience. It was miserable and my whole life I was always “the problem student”, and I was “smart but never applied myself”. Learning about it now, I realize I was a kid that needed support that was outside of the standard, and my problems were caused by the system itself being an unbending machine. It’s really depressing to think how many other “problem” kids were in my classes over the years that were just trying to seek help but didn’t know how to express it and were completely failed by the system.

This is a result of the US teaching for arbitrary ass tests, pushing bullshit curriculums, and using 40 hour school weeks + homework as a prepping ground for their shitty 9-5 future job, while underpaying + under supporting teachers. This isn’t a “moody kids with phone” problem. Are phones an issue in classrooms everywhere? Yes. Could kids use less screentime? Yes. Is the US schooling system a well studied topic of how not to construct teaching curriculums for children? Also yes.

Excuse you, that is THe wizard of Oz, he has an arts history degree and is working as a manager for a cool 22$ an hour with no extra vacation, his benefits package is shit, lives with 4 other people in a too small house in a questionable neighborhood, and drives a shitbox. Clearly he’s doing his job out of the pure goodness of his heart! He’s just living his American Dream!

It’s like Donnie Darko’s creepy uncle.

Seeing this episode when it came out vs in 2023 really hit different. It never dawned on me how finely honed their comedy was that season.

Okay but hear me out: their spinach dip is really good.

Some shitter iteration of scum will rise to the ranks to head the new fascist movement. The wheel of hate and racism has been set in motion a very long time ago in America, before trump, we’re just now starting to see the ramifications of it because it’s come to fruition. The problem is, the original folks who set it in motion no longer have control over what they’ve started, or have since died, and we’re left with this churning pile of shit to eek out a life in.
