Maybe bring a book? Why not save gaming for when you can actually do it well, not on a tiny screen at sub-60fps?

I guess I’m the only one in this thread that does other things when I’ve got down time away from the computer. When I want to play a video game, I don’t want to play a shittier version of it.

So glad I have a computer I can play games on so I don’t have to mess around with a smaller computer with a smaller screen and worse performance.

Edit: I pissed off the dad caucus with this comment. Steam decks are only for dads who can’t get more than thirty minutes of game time anymore and have no space for a legit gaming PC.

Consoles are great if you want the same thing you can get on your computer but with worse graphics, shittier framerate, and a terrible device for input.

One thing I’ve been annoyed with after switching to Firefox is the iffy password manager performance. It’s so common for it not to remember a password that it should, or, weirdly, for it to only remember the password once I’ve typed the whole username in and hit tab.

To be clear, the vast majority of academic philosophers (at least in the Anglophone world) find Freud to be useless pseudoscience. Freud gets taken seriously in literary analysis and continental philosophy. The latter is a minority position (although drawing a hard and fast line between “analytic” and “continental” philosophy is pretty difficult these days).

When I was getting my PhD in philosophy, I would have been laughed out of the room if I wrote a term paper that used Freud in any significant way.

This sounds like a great idea to pass right before we elect a guy who’s promised to be a dictator.

🤣

This is a good way to get a visit from the mailer daemon.

I have some bad news to tell you about capitalism

You can soften “a black” or “a Chinese” entirely by adding “person” to the end of it. English is weird.

Water in the microwave. Cheap Lipton tea bag for five mins. A little cashew milk. It’s fine.

Got a divorce and lost my job. Spent six months eating 1500 calories a day, 600 of which were liquor, and walking five to seven miles a day. Hours of walking by the Sound in the rain every day. Felt like the only thing I could control was what I ate and how much I walked. Lost thirty pounds. I got a few compliments on how much thinner I looked. Didn’t tell anyone that every pound was burned with hate.

I’m doing better now.

I used to hear this…back when I was in my 20s 😭

Am I wrong or are the cabinets way too low? How would you even fit a dish rack with dishes on the counter?

I realize you’re probably talking about news articles but if you want to keep track of PDFs, nothing beats Zotero.

Simple: pirate adobe acrobat and ocr them yourself.

Never had this issue when I had an iPhone. I was super annoyed by the snooze button being so big, though. Made me think I phone users must be lazy as shit. Who needs a snooze button that’s bigger than the “dismiss alarm” button?

Calzone until you bite into it. Then it’s a quiche. This is a good system and makes a lot of sense.

Does ublock origin even work with chrome on YouTube anymore? I switched to Firefox a couple months ago because, even after updating ublock origin, YouTube still detected that I was using an ad blocker and refused to show me content.
