Yes, I would like new games please. Not necessarily console related, just I don’t want to be stuck in the past, I would like to have new good experiences in my favorite medium thank you very much.
- Comment on My pizza doesn't list the temperature it should be cooked at 1 week ago:
Cheap ones and airfryers. Normal cooking temperatures are 170-200, I only go above that for pizzas. No idea what you do with 218, I would only expect burnt ousides and gooey uncooked insides.

- Comment on Do you think that Edward Snowden is a hero? 2 weeks ago:
I wouldn’t imagine that OP meant the question as Snowden being permanently labeled a hero for all of his life actions, nor should anyone ever be labeled as such. We are judging a specific action he took many years ago and also in a context of people generally labeling his action as good or bad since then. We are also not talking about comic book characters that are consistently one way or another through all of their actions. We can agree that a convicted felon can be heroic and a puppy loving doctor can do villainous shit as well depending on circumstance, opportunity and personal moral beliefs.
But for this specific action of exposing a terrible truth and essentially losing his way of life and being forced to live as a refugee, I don’t think we should get into the pendatry of what a hero in theory is or if his action led to any actual change. Being suppressed by forces with way more weight than you doesn’t eliminate whatever label your actions deserve.
- Comment on Do you think that Edward Snowden is a hero? 2 weeks ago:
I think you are being pedantic. If you went in risking your life to rescue a puppy from a burning house but the puppy doesn’t make it because of the fumes or you jump on a robber but he kills and leaves with the money anyway, do you stop being a hero because you failed to enact change? That’s ridiculous.
- Comment on An 82-year-old YouTuber grandma was raided by police and SWATs during her live stream last night where she plays Minecraft to raise money for her grandsons cancer. Authorities brought 20 police cars 1 month ago:
I have been stopped while doing something illegal that was a minor infraction, but still caught red handed, could have easily been fined, but was let go with a verbal promise to do better and the whole interaction was very civil. Also a few months ago the police recovered stolen items and managed to detective their way to me to return them as well as caught the bastards that did it. The whole process was honestly impressive and the cops I dealt with were just awesome. My interaction with police throughout my life has been at worst neutral but mostly positive. In Europe ACAB is bullshit as far as I’m concerned and anyone who uses it here is memeing after the Americans where it sounds like it’s 100% applicable.

I’ve never seen any european police respond to anonymous tips with 20 police cars, SWAT equivalent units or even guns drawn for that matter.

- Comment on Can some please explain to me why it is that your health insurance can deny you medication, even if your doctor says you need it? 4 months ago:
Hey OP, I will copy a point I made somewhere deeper in this thread that you might not see, because I do really believe that there is help to be had. I commend you on your desire to do something about this, since it will increase your quality of life in ways you never even imagined. Other people have also had great points I think and have touched on the tragedy that is the US medical system, I want to touch on the potential alternative solutions that are too often overlooked.
The obesity epidemic is caused by caloric density creeping up in ultra processed foods, tricking people into thinking they eat a normal amount when they most definitely don’t. The fact that these foods are almost like a drug for some brains combined with the fact that some bodies struggle more than others with burning calories can make it more difficult at first for people to loose weight, but you find yourself in the difficult circumstance of having to pay 200$ per week to do something about it, and there are two alternatives.
“Eat healthier, eat more fruits and veggies, cut out excess sugar, walk more, exercise more, the whole kit and caboodle” - as an external observer with no context all I can read from this is that you replaced some unhealthy calories with some healthy calories. So the first proposal is calorie counting by yourself. You have to be anal about it, every little detail, any little snack has to be on your list and fully counted. If you do this properly and have a hard limit of 1500-2000 per day you will absolutely see results without having to do any excercise or eat any specific food. This is proven science at this point and anyone arguing about this is trying to sell you something or someone else sold them something. More colorful trends like intermittent fasting also achieve caloric deficit in a roundabout way, but in the end it doesn’t matter what approach you take, any way that works for you is fine, as long as you don’t go over the caloric limit. Losing weight is not exciting and doesn’t have some funny quirky solution, it’s just simple hard brute force.
Second, a little less brute force solution, but also not free, spend a fraction of that ozempic money on a registered dietician that can monitor your intake and make recommendations. At least that way there’s external support and motivation, as well as much needed help in case you have a history of eating disorder. I found they are like 100-200$ per month so an 8th to a quarter of the ozempic price. This is still going to be hard work, but with support and help from an expert it will be far easier to establish and maintain.
Both of these solutions will help build good habits and help you build an intuition for food caloric content at a glance. Ozempic, if it works, skips these important aspects, which might make you rebound after finishing the treatment, since you never actually learned how to manage your intake, just had reduced appetite for the duration of the treatment. Any aditional things you do like eating healthier and exercising will be a great bonus to your health, but you should honestly skip if they are overwhelming you and impeding you from achieving your goal. It’s normal to expect failure when the requirements are steep, so keep it a level you can manage. If calorie restriction is all you can do, then stick to that, but don’t compromise it ever because that is the absolute minimum. Everything else may come later.
I wish you good luck with your journey and hope you’ll enjoy the new life when you finally succeed.

I didn’t actually catch the info that they managed to bribe officials to stand down so this is a pretty satisfying answer to my question. Thanks!

Crazy. Thanks, I couldn’t find similar cases when I looked. Considering all the other coups the US has done, this is just a time honored tradition for them.

You see, I thought you can’t just go in a foreign country and kidnap the leader…

Technically you are right, but we already know the us is in love with Israel so them having nukes would have no effect on the hypothetical situation of clearing out the trash in that particular country.

North korea didn’t have them for the longest time. None of the middle east countries have them to this day. I wonder if Rusia would even retaliate like that, I suspect not.

- Comment on AMD and Sony’s PS6 chipset aims to rethink the current graphics pipeline 8 months ago:
Forced upscaling and blurry TAA is compensating for the fact that they can’t push graphics much further on the hardware we have. The current hardware progression has stagnated, combined with the fact that we are seeing more diminishing returns in graphics as they improve, requiring more power to deliver less of a noticeable difference.
But it doesn’t mean these games won’t look great when you disable the fakeness and run it with brute force GPU power 10 years from now.
I honestly think the current graphics we can achive are fine and where the true improvements should come from are better animation and actually good art direction.

In case you also wonder like op why no one likes you, it’s probably the elite snobbery and superiority complex.
- Comment on Spain is blocking unrelated internet addresses because of soccer 10 months ago:
I don’t give two shits about football or anyone pirating it, the problem is that they block a bunch of websites that have nothing to do with that. They had a similar idea last year when they wanted to completely block telegram in the whole country because some degenerates were sharig cp using the platform. The scorched earth policies are not just mildly annoying.

Humans are the ones that are harming and dividing us. If religion is gone they’ll find a new way to do it. Us vs them mentality is part of human nature and has always attached itself to anything that can be called ours vs theirs. Religion, politics, sports, skin color, language, the fucking phone brand you use, you name it.

The guy he answered is showing a worse persona than your description throughout this whole thread and you haven’t really shown any kindness yourself.
Also you being insecure and uncultured doesn’t automatically make others around you pedantic and snobby.

In theory it makes sense but in the past buying digitally as opposed to physically hasn’t netted anyone any savings. And with the new system where the card doesn’t even hold the actual game, it’s an even worse offering.
