I’m finally at a place where I can aim for a 1.0 ratio, but I’ve noticed that a lot of the stuff I torrent just uh…is not very popular lol. Some of them haven’t had a single peer in months! It’s kinda fun keeping an eye on it, sorta like a popularity contest.
We were created by a bunch of fanatics that y’all didn’t want on the continent anymore because they constantly wanted to ruin other people’s lives, can you really be that surprised?
or even just… what cops in the U.S. do to any minority.
Had a co-worker today try to be like “extra-legal executions just aren’t American” and I was like “welllll we sure seem to love doing them, especially against anyone with a skin color other than white.” Topic changed pretty quickly after that.
my one concern is that I wouldn’t want a salad dressing touching my fries. especially since I tend to prefer a light vinagrette.
I wonder if such a sauce exists that could function as both salad dressing and fry sauce. probably something starting with a thousand island base?
Been pretty good. swapped over to Bazzite, which does just about everything I need for a daily driver. Only real annoyance is my VPN. I haven’t been able to successfully connect through the openvpn configs that PIA provides, so I’ve been setting it up through terminal every time I log in. I think if I really sat down I could set it up to autologin, but it only “costs” me like 30 seconds and sometimes I like to connect to a server that allows port forwarding instead of a non-PF closer server. I also like getting to make the choice of which server I connect to vs autologging in to the lowest latency server.
I still have to use Windows 11 for work though, and holy shit do I prefer running two commands in terminal when I login to dealing with all the dumb fuckin bloat that OS has when I go home.
the problem is that the number of americans with a fifth grade education or higher is a minority.
depends on where you go, good places will have a well seasoned marinara. you can also usually see the herbs and spices they’ve used
wild, the cost of my VPN hasn’t changed at all.
as bad as the US is, pretty sure Qatar is worse and nobody gave a shit then. Sports fans don’t have morals.
I uh…I don’t think that word means what you think it means.
I imagine you would care quite a bit when the knife is sticking out of your back.
It won’t be, but even if it were; would you really want to fight side by side with someone whose only motivator is fear?
Sounds like the kinda person who would immediately sell you out to the fascists if they were promised a deal that would protect themselves.
Wild to see this fervor after a white woman was killed, this is like the fourth or fifth time ICE has murdered someone in a year but now our “worst fears have been realized.” They certainly weren’t an anti-civilian paramilitary when they were fucking raiding American ghettos with helicopters and kidnapping people in unmarked vans off the streets. We don’t care about that, obviously, but now they’ve crossed a line!
This country fucking sucks.
It was a name the Whovians gave him right? sure sounds like a slur to me
I think it is a little interesting that the U.S. isn’t even bothering with pretense anymore. Everyone with a functioning brain knows Iraq was about oil, but back then the U.S. made up all sortsa shit about terrorism and WMDs to give themselves pretext for the war.
What’s kinda weird is that the U.S. is still offering that pretext, and saying shit like Fentanyl is a WMD so they can use the exact same rhetoric, but then they’re also openly saying they just wanna rob Venezuela. They can’t pick a lane.
Yup, and every time I have to deal with Windows bullshit at work, I get a little bit happier that I don’t have to deal with it when I go home.
that last shot makes it seem like it’s still basically regions on a map, with the difference being purely visual. I’m more surprised that it’s going to be a heavy ranged focus, considering how many issues WH3 has had with ranged combat
holy shit those last few seconds of actual gameplay. game looks a lot like the Dawn of War series, which is fitting. I wasn’t really sure 40k could fit the Total War mould, but seems like CA is willing to break the mould in pursuit of more money.
p sure that’s the gamble Ukraine is taking here. their assumption is that Russia won’t, but they don’t want to seem like they’re the ones holding up an end to the war.
that’s the fun part, basically none of the money you pay actually goes to the people who made the thing.
like 95-100% of the money that the crew of a movie or TV show makes is paid to them during production. There might be a handful of crew, typically writers, actors, and directors who get residuals, but that’s typically a very small fraction of the total amount they got paid.
Your money goes to the studio who produced the film/show in order to recoup their investment. and in my experience, the studio doesn’t actually give a shit about the creatives who made the thing you love. They’ll get rid of them for someone cheaper at the first opportunity, and a lot of them are trying to get rid of them for AI right now.
