frankly if you want something that just works Mint is probably the best, especially given it's beginner-oriented.

the 21st century urge to make a modern reinterpretation of a Vietnam-era manpack radio that has a mobile hotspot, full-on PC, and an SDR in it, all powered by a chonky pack of battery banks with a wearable display and micro-sized keyboard and mouse

honestly irl my aesthetic is rapidly devolving into "a 1960's idea of what a businessperson would look like in the year 2000 with a sprinkling of cyberpunk"

...if I'm going to live in a cyberpunk dystopia, I might as well look the part i guess

Speak their language. Tellthem that allowing banks to deny legal purchases also means the government (local, state, federal) loses any tax revenue those purchases would have generated.

Likewise, debanking people also means no tax payments because people can't send digital currency without a bank.

Their phone systems are no longer accepting feedback.So this is what I found. This link is to chili's feedback page. Is completely valid to go and leave them feedback about this horrible thing that they've done. www.chilis.com/contact-us

They’re just doing the anti-gay playbook with transgender people now.

as for Sarkeesian specifically, just completely lost me when she complained that Hitman was "sexist" because you CAN kill hookers on one level, while completely (whether deliberate or not, i dunno) ignoring that it's not only completely optional, but you actually get penalized in game for doing that

Anita Sarkeesian's criticisms of video games were beyond stupid, but Gamergate wasn't any better.

i like doing horror stuff with Beta because they're essentially a fluffy Terminator, and I like the idea of Jason Vorhees approaching Beta with a machete and Beta just efortlessly chops his fucking head off with a halberd in the first 15 minutes

Beta violates literally every rule of Protogen design internally and I've never gotten any hate for it

fun fact: This is essentially what happened in Fahrenheit 451: They started dumbing books down so that people stopped actually engaging with literature and stopped really thinking about it. Then they eventually stopped thinking so hard they started banning and burning books.

the farmers who voted for the GOP did so because the GOP has pushed for diseducation and the correct thing to do in this instance isn't to yell at farmers as a group for that, it's to enhance and defend the education system from the GOP's consistent politically-motivated attacks.

The way people talk about video games now is like they’re in a board meeting. I don’t care about player counts and sales, tell me about the game and what’s in it
