What else are you going to use your RAM for if not generating advertisement revenue for shareholders.

15 is affordable by me. Highest I've seen is $33 for a 4 pack. Might as well just go out to a bar at that point.

Some of them feel like they are almost worth the expense. Founders makes some amazing beer of all varieties, and the Goose Island Bourbon County stouts are all phenomenal... But then there's shit like Southern Tier trying to sell yet another stupid twist on a flavor nobody has ever done for $5 more than last year's variety. It's just pointless to engage in it now. Better off enjoying cheap wine.

The culture around beer shifted from cheap low alcohol content drinks with little variation, to more expensive high alcohol content drinks with a ton of variation. Then, as with anything that hits a "trend", the market tries to capitalize on it beyond what demand actually cares to express, and prices go so far through the roof that nobody gives a shit anymore.

Nobody that was already drinking cares about the health issues (or at least they didn't just suddenly change out of the blue). They just got a taste for something that gradually got priced out. If you got your taste for beers on fancy 10%ABV stouts that now cost $7 a can/bottle, you aren't going to just buy whatever is now in your price range. You just stop buying beer, and get other shit.

I doubt it more due to the frequency of guinea pig shits. Unless they've been genetically modified since my childhood to poop less often, I could not envision a world where that keyboard does not have crap under the keys after the first response.

While I respect the intent, I do think that you probably need to consider the reasoning as well. Putting black and white morality over actions isn't necessarily correct either.

Poking fun at someone who is objectively evil over their appearance is "something" that an average person can do that might actually affect the person in question. It might not do anything, but it's sure as hell more appropriate and effective than trying to point out the issue with their moral stance. You can't always make a difference through peaceful or indirect means.

I think it's important to point out that body shaming someone who isn't a bad person is wrong, but it is also important to point out that for most people our words are our only recourse. You can insult a terrible person for one thing, while ignoring or praising the same trait in someone who is good.

Their solution to a problem is to pretend like it doesn't exist simply because it will go away in the future? It's a reason, but it isn't a good one.

Gnome does some questionable things, and some are just personal preference, but there is at least one thing that they do that makes zero sense regardless of how you use your system...

The AppIndicator extension SHOULD be default. There is no reason for it to be an extension other than pure stubbornness. There are applications that literally require it in order to function at all.

"Creativity" was actually just a poor translation. What they meant to say was "enhanced legal department". Easy mistake.

The whole point of doing a separate partition for your home directory is to do just that... The fuck is this even supposed to mean.

Have you seen none of the flyers/banners that popped up this election? The fact that he's a felon is celebrated. The fact that he's a rapist is celebrated. The fact that he openly speaks against overtime pay is celebrated. Fuck, even his divorces are celebrated. He could literally shoot someone in the face at a rally, and it would just boost his support.

He's Homelander, but fat and without superpowers.

All of this anticheat bs is still making the baseline assumption that the problem needs to be solved at the expense of the players.

It's illegal to steal someone else's property. We don't enforce that law by cutting off everyone's hands preemptively so that there is less demand on police to solve a problem that hasn't happened yet...

If people are assholes and go against the wishes of society, you police and moderate them. If they can't moderate their platform, that isn't the fault of the community - it's a failing of the corporation. It's such a ridiculous mindset. It's a fucking video game...
