Stargate zats. Stun-kill-delete is really useful.

Cyberpunk is a brilliant game after its rough start. CDPR has kept improving and fixing and adding tons of stuff, all for free. Also just a single dlc expansion that is really good as well.

How do you find alone time?

Interesting. Thats not really applicable to my language though, german is renowned for having specific terms for almost everything, and if it doesnt exist you can just make a new compound word for it and it will be fine. There is a reason english loans quite a few of our words to fill out the sparse vocabulary. Such a naturally descriptive language of course also affects how and what people communicate, and even think.
For example, i could not even refer to my gf as my gender neutral partner without going out of my way to clarify that "Partner" does not mean a man but something unspecified.

Fair enough, perhaps because it feels that way to me because my native language genders everything. Though i still have a hard time imagining people regularly referring to their partner as them im casual conversation, thats the bf/gf/husband/wife instinctively.
Would you conversely say it is weird to refer to your partner as above when not strictly required?

Oh it doesn't make me uncomfortable, but it irks my sense of grammar somehow. Stands out when reading. I know of course that "they" is appropriate when no further information about someone is available, but that would not apply here since it's their partner 🫠.
Perhaps you could clarify for me not that if someone could, but why they would. That doesnt seem to make sense to me.

Is there another link? Vanadium does not fuck with all that tracking. Loads for about 5 seconds then goes to connection rejected. Apparently yahoo doesnt fuck with vanadium either

While this is of course entirely pedantic and irrelevant to the post, could you tell me why people use "they" for their partner now? I cant believe the partners are all non binary.
I suppose i don't see the point of obfuscating that. Okay, i know your partner is a wife or a husband now. I still dont know (or care) what gender you are, so how is that information to conceal? And even if i knew that, what would it matter that some online person knows another online person is in a relationship of this or that orientation?
Just feels weird from a communication perspective, usually people make an effort to leave little ambivalence in their statements when this is sort of the opposite.

Streaming services are now getting out of hand
Streaming went to shit when everyone made their own. It was good and worth the money when it was one portal with everything available.
Now i am back navigating the stormy high seas, to avoid the treacherous shores of bankruptcy

Marriage tips from 1913
I kind of expected these to have aged worse. Some are solid - if a little obvious in modern times - advice.
And then there are the others... At least some of them are humorous; show them to your partner guys i'm sure she will appreciate them. Even if she is just a wife 🫠

I used to like him a lot up until he started uncle tomming for the current american administration. Just full sellout, when he could easily live off the royalties of his music for the rest of his life without debasing himself.

Parents used to warn their kids that literature would rot their brains. Then it was the radio, TV, and video games. Now it's TikTok.
Eh, there is sufficient evidence to recommend children and teenagers having limited internet and social media access during their formative years at this point.
The tiktok algorithm of mindless doomscrolling funny little bits all short and digestible for a decaying attention span is just the most egregious example why restrictions should at least be considered.

We just reached a point where they feel confident in going full mask off. They have subverted the american democracy and are poised to do it elsewhere too, and can pursue their hideous goals more openly.
