Just wear the strawberry perfume you wuss, it’s not going to make you start sucking dick.

highschool boys in the last decade or so

Not even close, in the 00’s it was Lynx/Axe, before that Teen Spirit. Boys covering themselves in scents instead of showering isn’t a new thing.

Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. Huge CRPG with turn based combat or RTWP if you want to play it wrong. Not as pretty and a lot wordier than Baldurs Gate 3, but much deeper in mechanics and choices, plus Mythic levels. Fight the demonic forces of the abyss with the power of an angel/demon/daemon/dragon/lich/bugs/comedian/really cool dude, and try to ascend to godhood. If you want something you can sink a good 2-300 hours into, WotR is excellent.

Except for crusade battles. They suck. Just use a mod to trivialise/skip them.

No story I’ve seen has said he drowned, just that he entered the canal, was pulled out by cops and bystanders, and had CPR administered. As much as I hate cops it sounds like his death wasn’t actually related to the canal, otherwise they would have just said he drowned.

Corporate Memphis isn’t the same as Memphis Design’s postmodern art style, though it was inspired by it - corporate Memphis is literally a Facebook product.

Mint or Fedora if you’re starting out. Bazzite if you want a more gaming focused version of Fedora. CachyOS if you want something more cutting edge.
Ubuntu is generally fine but functions at the whims of Canonical, who are both Linux weirdos and corporate weirdos, which leads to some interesting decisions.

Or Kim could give up power and reform the government to a more western style of democracy.

You mean like America, which invaded and destroyed 80% of Korean infrastructure and killed over 3 million civilians? That kind of western democracy? You are the exact same type of chauvinist that caused the Korean war in the first place.

When I went to Italy I thought I must have some sort of perception bias because the Italian trains seemed so much better than any I got in the UK, so I checked the stats and it turns out they are just better. Though going through Milan I did see 2 departures that were delayed by 5 and 17 hours, and I don’t know if that’s better or worse than the cancellations.

You misunderstand me - are the police actually using the desktop environment, clicking menus and launching programs, or is the OS just a vehicle for them to run one program that covers all their tasks and duties? Because the commenter’s point was that people who are actually using the DE hate change, so your example will be irrelevant if the cops aren’t actually using the DE.

Are cops actually using the OS though, or is it just what their proprietary policing software runs on now? Last time I was in a cop shop in the UK they all seemed to be working through the same full screen interface, so the OS seemed irrelevant.

Is it correct to switch pronouns every other time when referring to a non-binary person? Serious question

Yes and/or no. Many non binary people prefer one pronoun, some don’t mind one or multiple, and some prefer constant switching. It’s easiest to ask the person in question.

When I was in uni a friend with benefits lured me back to her flat with promises of food when I was drunk and hungry, then dragged me straight to the bedroom despite me protesting I still was hungry. She had some furry handcuffs on the headboard so I handcuffed her to the bed, walked to the kitchen, made a sandwich, and then came back and sat on a chair right next to her while I ate it. The sandwich was mediocre, but the taste of victory was divine. She said I was “bad at BDSM”, but I’m pretty sure I got the bondage and sadism bits down fine.

I don’t think it requires more skill, just more effort. Cut off a chunk of meat and add heat and you’re most of the way to a good flavour, while veg dishes usually require a variety of vegetables, each of which requires more prep than the meat did. There are exceptions, but as a general rule of thumb if they’re putting the time and effort into doing the vegetarian dishes properly it shows they’re doing everything else properly too.

When I bought my house there were a bunch of smart gadgets - lightbulbs, thermostat, fridge - and after a couple of months I’d gradually disabled all the smart features because they were causing more problems than they were fixing. The cold December day when we didn’t have any heating because a fucking server was down was the worst.

Connected cursive with the stupid squiggles is terrible, regular cursive where you just join most of the letters is the fastest way to write.

Remind me how many democrats voted to stop Trump from bombing Iran?

There are thousands of others

I feel like you’re underestimating the number of bullets in the world.

There are definitely parts of religion you can appreciate and enjoy without engaging with the rest. My parents are big fans of Christmas carols, and engage with a lot of the community events local churches, temples, and mosques put on, but don’t bother with any of the actual sermon stuff.

Proud boys aren’t a paramilitary, you’re thinking of the regular cops.

FBI was an actual law enforcement organization, but has been gutted.

Lol

The CIA isn’t a boogie man inside the US.

Lol

I’ll give you that I forgot to include the NSA among your secret police apparatus though.

Masked thugs working for the state vanishing people without warrants is sort of the basic definition of secret police.

All of them are masked! Even your cops are masked thugs who kill and disappear people without warrants. They have black sites!

• MELT-BANANA - The Hive
• Anna Meredith - Nautilus
• Aphex Twin - Come To Daddy

If they’re not enough for your child to choose an alarm instead, I don’t know what is.
