I don't really get why anyone would pay for consoles past PS2/NGC. Xbox has been shit since forever. PC gaming isn't any better either.

Personally, all I am doing is classic gaming and romhacks of classic games.

They've even managed to convince some people that lies and rape don't exist, but if they do exist they're good things.

I cannot justify spending any money on games or Xbox game pass scenarios these days. All of that falls under "disposable income" and I have hardly any of that due to socio-political factors outside my control. Hence, my opinion is it is a waste of money and you are getting a negative experience because it is a waste of money.

However, when I used to have disposable income due to socio-political factors again not under my control, and I did game, and did get on networks like Xbox, there was always a division between people who gamed for the love of gaming versus people who gamed to try to impress people or else somehow made money off of gaming. Most modern gaming has gotten entirely away from gaming for the love/fun of gaming and gotten into franchising and "being the best" and a bunch of other shit that really was never exactly the core of gaming other than maybe getting the "high score" or something.

So, the joy is all "Drained out of it" and that's partly due to money, and so I'd say probably that is why you are feeling pissed off about the experience.

In other news, people who stand to make a lot of money from lies and rape are all about covering up the fact they are lying and raping.

Since Facebook is a terrible company, you'd think people by now would stop using the damn thing. No. We keep getting articles on how more terrible it is than we thought!

It's been a long time since I used anything Redhat maybe around 5.2. Alma I was using on a server, but I vaguely remember it had some issue detecting the RAID so I switched over to Mageia linux and it did quite well. I am trying to get myself more comfortable with Nix as I think that is the direction things ought to go, but I really haven't had much time to fool around with it lately.

I'm using Alma 8.x on about a dozen production servers now, where a RHEL based OS was required or because the software or stack doesn't play well or isn't supported with recent Debian or Ubuntu flavors. I like Alma, though. Seems to have a great community behind it. The only other RHEL based distro I use would be CloudLinux, but it's a commercial OS and sort of niche.

I've used alma in the past, and rocky went out on a limb the other day and said what happened to centOS won't happen to us. Usually, when someone says that, it is because the same shit is LIKELY to happen, so I haven't used it yet.

I figure if you point it out but you lack a plan to do something about it, that really isn't all that helpful, but I hear you on the rest of your points. I can devise about ten plans that would deal with the problems Paul points out, and I'm not paid to be a politician.

I've just been using Debian for day to day tasks. There are too many flavors of linux out there for me to try anything new.

Fun fact: I planted over 100 trees this year around my house and have about 1/4 of an acre completely unmaintained / not mowed for about two years ago for rabbits and other animals to hide in. Some of the growth is taller than me now.

No. Should I?

It's a flat earth joke.

One of the so called proofs for a round earth is that ships are disappearing on the horizon, implying that on a flat earth you'd be able to observe ships until they reach the opposing shore and thus you'd be able to also see far away places like China. Just like you can see the moon.

The meme shows you that in reality you cannot look that far. And no, you also couldn't see the end of the hallway in person if it is long enough.

You can provoke a similar phenomenon with two mirrors to create an "infinitely repeating space" inside the mirror. At some point you just can't see anymore, because it gets too small for the naked eye.

If you take out a telescope you can see farther. Both in the hallways and also ships that seem to disappear into the horizon. The reason your naked eye loses sight of them is because they simply became too small to perceive. That's exactly what the horizon is. It is not because the earth curves away from your sight. Not even in a round earth scenario. At that small of a distance the earth doesn't curve yet.

Luckily the moon is really large, so you can see it even though it is far, far away.

So essentially the meme is mocking people that are ill-equipped to disprove flat earth. In my opinion that's the whole flat earth joke, too. Showing that your average person cannot even disprove flat earth. Essentially revealing that most people follow science exactly as uncritically as they follow(ed) religion. The authority™ said so, so it must be true.

Wait, who is claiming you could 'see China' if the earth was flat? And you could see the end of the hallway in person.

I wouldn't put the blame on the things he highlighted as not changing because of him. Sadly we've got big government republicans and democrats that get propped up in the media and receive an absurd amount of funding where other parties or individuals get ignored. It's hard for non-mainstream messaging to get out to the masses and for that to influence change in government.

It's sad that we don't have a pro-liberty, pro-fiscal responsibility, and an American first candidate. It's sad that none of the candidates nowadays seem to reference history and the constitution as a basis for shaping their policies.

Yeah... they gave you that neat little smart therostat for free. No alternate motives.

What if Ron Paul made a speech 13 years ago and none of that stuff has fundamentally changed due to the actions of Ron Paul?

Hey mate - here you will find anpnymous crypto gambling sites: https://elarabcoin.com/

Didn't see an Introductions sub, so I'll just post here. Hey everyone! Left another link agregator a while back, looking for a new place to hang out. I mainly post pictures of space, bad memes and make off color jokes.

Should have worked. I put the old site on maintenance mode to prevent any new sign ups or changes while I migrated the database.

Curious if anyone else experienced this.

And G Gundam is the goofiest Gundam of them all.

Sounds like they are increasingly afraid of their own people, eh?
