When I was poor I ate boiled chicken and rice for every dinner. Breakfast was either cereal+milk (you can try ringing up multiple boxes at the self checkout using a “small” box but bag the bigger boxes), or yogurt+granola (I’d steal granola by ringing up bulk granola as cheaper bulk items and ring up the single yogurt cup in a 6 pack and pay <1/6 the actual cost).
RuneScape: I can’t believe I played the game after the removal of free trade. It was such a poorly run game, and I’m can’t believe anyone still plays it anymore. It’s unbelievable how arrogant mod MacDonalds was, and that I only quit in 2011 after I got scammed trying to sell the account.
League of Legends: this is another case of really great game, but incredibly poorly managed. Having Phreak be the balance lead just feels like shit, and made me feel like shit because I kept playing thinking it’d get better. This is a very global, very competitive game that was balanced around competitive play and optimizing spectator happiness. You can guess just how fun it was to play a character that was deemed “unfun to watch in worlds” and get absolutely gutted by Phreak’s team. The opposite was also hilariously true… they buffed certain characters so they’d sell more skins or because spectators like watching them. I finally quit after having to swap my main because they nerfed or reworked it and left me playing something else several times.
I live 6 hours from Vegas and I’ve gotten 3 cold calls within 30 days offering me a gigantic discount to stay in Vegas. While it’s tempting, I definitely wouldn’t choose Vegas over something like Santa Monica or San Diego unless there was free food involved.
Type C has such a satisfying click when plugging something in.
I so strongly disagree with that. The Snapdragon 7 gen 4 in the Fairphone6 is roughly on par with the Snapdragon 888 from 2020 (S21 series). You couldn’t pay me to daily drive an S21 Ultra, let alone pay 67% of an S25 (a mid cycle phone) for a phone with a 4 year old performance profile. 600$ can be a used S24 Ultra.
Android app devs just don’t optimize their apps enough that I’d be comfortable rocking this phone 3 years from now, which if I did, I’d be using a 7 year old processor at that point. No one in their right mind should have a phone that old.
Not until they use snapdragon elite or the newest flagship
“The child wasn’t injured” is categorically the stupidest excuse. Also, the child was 2 or 3.
As a severe child abuse survivor, I couldn’t be beaten daily or else I would’ve died or had serious and long lasting injury. You’re typically appeasing your abuser to get out of the beatings. The verbal abuse can still continue though. Please report your family and friends if you suspect child abuse; the child doesn’t deserve it and there are even physiological damages as a result of the anxiety of appeasement.
porn theater no less!
I don’t play drum/guitar mania, but the support is all there (albeit the guitar hero/taiko modes are all recently added so they’re not nearly as mature as dance/pump/technomotion, etc.
I am a themer for Project Outfox: check us out; all you need is the guitar 😉

yeah but you missed the crucial part of the statement:
Christmas doesn’t affect society in such a way that it costs anyone money that doesn’t celebrate it
lol comparing Christmas to royalism. Christmas has completely detached from Christianity at this point. Being a royalist means you are okay with funneling money to people based on heredity rather than merit. Also, Christmas doesn’t affect society in such a way that it costs anyone money that doesn’t celebrate it.
Wasn’t Ozzy a royalist? I know Sharon was.
LA varies widely in food prices (I visit 2-3x a year). The overall vibe I can distill it down to is that these are competitive with small restaurants with no big name recognition or premium ingredients. UOVO pasta? 30-40$/serving. Some no name poke restaurant next to a Ralph’s? 15$ for a whole ass bowl of raw fish fresh from the fish market.
LA is the land of Star fuckers, where name recognition and vanity are above all else. If you stay away from the star fuckers, food there is actually affordable compared to the cost of living.

2 years into the fediverse; left during the IPO enshittification nonsense when they removed public access APIs and made Apollo impossible.
4300km. I’ll go back for a few more funerals and maybe because downtown Boston has fantastic food.
G as first choice, J is a close second.
