I don’t know where I’d go. Regardless of this particular election, I’d love to live elsewhere, but I’m only fluent in English. Not to mention, there seems to be rising fascism all over the place.

Find me a mid level cybersecurity job in an EU member state and I’ll be right over.

I’m lucky enough to be a white, cis male, but I am bisexual. I’m extremely lucky to live in a very liberal area, but I’m afraid that won’t mean much for long. I fear for myself, my family, and my little sisters especially. And I fear that there’s nowhere to run to because US hegemony shapes the world.

I’ve been proudly out for 10 years now, but half of my family assumes I’m straight because they’re the type of people who assume everyone is straight until proven otherwise. The majority of them likely voted for Trump.

If this isn’t a meme, that’s the fakest looking test I’ve ever seen. Pretty sure the older tests could be triggered as positive with lemon juice? You’ll have to look up your brand.

A politician’s website is not a credible source for this type of claim. If the page itself was backed up by sources, then maybe, but it would be better to link to those sources directly.

I don’t think it could ever add up to a significant amount without the whole planet doing so. Not using the services today sends a measurable number of people who are behind the strike, instead of just most likely making it a very successful day numbers-wise.

I’m begging for more miniseries. Good Omens is the perfect example of taking just enough time to tell the story correctly.

Well, that explains all of the fake voicemail phishing we’ve been seeing

Really enjoyed Joker. Didn’t have any desire for a sequel. I feel like this was kinda destined to fail.

I would totally agree if Beijing didn’t force the rest of China to use their time zone, lol. Noon in Western China is nuts to experience.

I have a big problem with internal validation. This makes most singleplayer experiences pretty meaningless to me. Antidepressants help, but only to an extent.

As a kid/teen, I only wanted to do online pvp. As I’ve gotten a bit older, I’ve found a lot not enjoyment out of coop. There’s still some competition, like dps charts in a raid, but it’s mostly the feeling of overcoming a challenge as a team that I look for now.

And as others have said, online coop is king. Love me some asymmetrical puzzle games.

Same, but nvidia shield. I’ve tried pihole and pf-blocker with no success.

The whole We Were Here series is marvelous. Asymmetrical co-op puzzle games. My friend and I’s recent games list looks very similar to this.

We also do a lot of single player games with one of us streaming over discord. When it’s a slow-burn puzzle or mystery game, it doesn’t really matter who is actually controlling.

For those types, I really recommend Return of the Obra Dinn. We’re currently working our way through the entire Frogwares Sherlock Holmes collection. The old ones are so terrible, which is a greatness all by itself.

It works by encouraging union and co-ops, actually punishing companies that break laws, and providing social safety nets. Basically everything this comic points out.
