  Throat hurts too much to smoke? Eat an edible. Tolerance break averted.

  Furries would pay so much for this tech. The first vendor to make a tail that can wag on command will make millions in sales.

  Honest and direct is the way to go. Saying something else like “they went to a farm” would just make you lose credibility later.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Despite Apocalyptic Warnings, California Fast Food Wage Hike Didn’t Kill Jobs⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There are way more factors at play here rather than a simple wage hike. The war in Ukraine caused a global shortage of wheat and a few other staple crops and fertilizer. The oil embargo on Russia also caused gas prices to climb even further.

  Climate change has also quietly eroded some of the world’s farmland causing a bit more food scarcity. Japan for instance recently couldn’t produce enough rice to feed everyone which caused it to import it for the first time in a long while. I got to see this first hand with some ramen shops no longer being seen as “affordable” due to their bowls climbing above 1000 yen.

  In the US we had the bird flu wiping out a huge amount of eggs and chicken, there was even a time when I’d see a 1 dollar surcharge on my local restaurant for any dish that uses them. The consolidation of the restaurant wholesale food market by Sysco and US Foods is also creating a chokehold on their prices. Trump’s fiscal and international trade policies have wrecked a lot of the economy causing huge spikes in inflation too. Besides that we have plain old corporate greed with them taking advantage of all this as a smokescreen to crank up the cost of their food.

  Especially when you’re forced to use a complicated method to do basic calculations with. People should be allowed to learn different ways to get to the same answer.

  There’s a movie plot in there.

  If it falls off the surface edge then it’s a drop-out.

  It’s still better than splitting up its functionality among three different and even more complicated systems because upper management likes the pretty graphs they produce for their PowerPoint slides.

  Why does this make it feel like we’re living in Roman times?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Final Fantasy IX animated series officially in production at EuroVisual, titled Black Mages Legacy | RPG Site⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I enjoyed the film since it tried to blend science fiction and fantasy elements. The team at Square Pictures should have kept a tighter control on the story to keep it from getting overly convoluted though. It shouldn’t have been called Final Fantasy at all, that only served to confuse and disappoint fans.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The game is also unoptimized to shit. It needs at least a 7700XT to run at 1440p and 60 fps.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FATALITY⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There was a fan campaign asking the director of Tekken 8 to add it as a stage. After being explained why Waffle House is slouch a good location, he said it’d be difficult to get the rights to use their image for the game.

  No, and keep your eyes on the road!

  Play FTL. You’re supposed to stop the rebels.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gettin too old for this shit⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Glad I was wrong then.

  The menu in the background looks suspiciously like AI slop.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon wonders about Iranian leader⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  More like pay-to-win. America has the advanced military DLC in a server with basic free accounts.

  That so old-hat. The new phrase is “I’ll lend you the money to rent it”.

  When we start having colonies in inhospitable places in the solar system this is how I imagine housing might look like.

  I have a '22 Bolt now and really miss the simplicity of my '10 Versa. HVAC should be done with tacticle knobs, not some tiny flaps.

  How much longer will it take for no AI DDG to go back to being the default again?

  Okay you go me. What does the tye dye do to weaken regular humans? Is it tripping on acid in a Grateful Dead concert?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨smoooooth⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Reminds me of a quote from A Canticle for Lebowitz:

  The horizon came alive with flashes as the monks mounted the ladder. The horizons became a red glow. A distant cloudbank was born where no cloud had been. The monks on the ladder looked away from the flashes. When the flashes were gone, they looked back. The visage of Lucifer mushroomed into hideousness above the cloudbank, rising slowly like some titan climbing to its feet after ages of imprisonment in the Earth…

  …The breakers beat monotonously at the shores, casting up driftwood. An abandoned seaplane floated beyond the breakers. After a while the breakers caught the seaplane and threw it on the shore with the driftwood. It tilted and fractured a wing. There were shrimp carousing in the breakers, and the whiting that fed on the shrimp, and the shark that munched the whiting and found them admirable, in the sportive brutality of the sea. A wind came across the ocean, sweeping with it a pall of fine white ash. The ash fell into the sea and into the breakers. The breakers washed dead shrimp ashore with the driftwood. Then they washed up the whiting. The shark swam out to his deepest waters and brooded in the cold clean currents. He was very hungry that season.

  I’ve been waiting for GPU prices to come back down to earth since 2019. I really hope you’re right in a few more years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Emotional processing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  At least we can agree you can tolerate the taste of liquor to some degree. The difference is some of the more expensive stuff tastes leagues better than their cheap counterparts. Some of the cheaper stuff is pretty good too like a vanilla Crown Royal with soda water. I’m not saying get drunk or anything, but there’s a certain life experience one can miss out by never trying alcoholic beverages.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Emotional processing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A little bit of fancy liquor in a while won’t kill you. It’s drinking every day that’ll do it though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hehehehe⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Those couldn’t hold me. I’d just unlock it and attach it to a nearby pole and sneak away. The tension from the pole usually bought me about a minute.
