Gog doesn’t have this. They specifically market it that you get to download a binary install and keep the game forever.

They did spy on their own people, and to get ahead, a lot of people collaborated with the government to report other people.

Going 20 is the definition of “letting them pass”. Or should she have ran off the road so the tailgating ahole could continue on going 90 in a 50 zone?

They’re not here to see “more nuanced takes” nor they care about them. They are here to brigade posts, spread propaganda and make any discussion a pain. You can’t even imagine how often tankies tried to tell me the history of my country is fake and they know the ultimate truth about it all, way better than the people who actually lived that history.

Which is increasingly unlikely.
- Comment on Size Matters 1 week ago:
Everything is skewed, even the measured studies. Most insecure people won’t go to a literal dick measuring contest. Which means even the measured ones trend “upwards” of the actual average.

You are not recalling it correctly.
- Comment on A Polish jalapeño pastry 1 week ago:
It is not a “polak joke” in any way, but you do you.
- Comment on A Polish jalapeño pastry 1 week ago:
Jesus christ, yes, there are no jalapenos in the pastry. Because there are wasps on it. Making it “spicy”. What your post and the petulant “hint” glosses over is the fact that it is a professional bakery selling pastries, with Polish text on it, Polish currency and Polish units on it (szt). What it glosses over is the fact that had the text been in German, it would’ve been a German spicy pastry. Had it been in Greek, it would’ve been a Greek spicy pastry.
As I said, I have seen this EXACT thing hundreds of times in Poland, it isn’t anything new and it isn’t a “haha Polak so stoopid” joke.
So chill out and stop being outraged just to be outraged.
- Comment on A Polish jalapeño pastry 1 week ago:
There is no joke, the text is in Polish and this happens all the time in bakeries with sweet shit laid out like this. So you want it to be a “polak joke” when it isn’t. This isn’t someone being racist / nationalistic / making this about haha those stupid Poles, this is literally a bakery in Poland with wasps on it, which isn’t uncommon to see.

The great depression has never starved millions of Ukrainians to death.
- Comment on We live wasted lives 1 week ago:
You gave me a singular anecdote from a state that didn’t exist for even three years.
- Comment on We live wasted lives 1 week ago:
If someone gives you an example of a communist country and then you go “no no that’s not communism” when in fact yes, it was communism, because otherwise as you yourself said “no country in the last 2000 years was communist” then that’s the true scotsman.
- Comment on We live wasted lives 1 week ago:
Cool. Yet you are ignoring the very tiny fact that collective farms started famines. They didn’t “just underperform”.
- Comment on We live wasted lives 1 week ago:
And yet people work in huge corporations and those are succeeding fine. Yet the collective farms that I mention led to famines and underperformed severely.
- Comment on We live wasted lives 1 week ago:
“I don’t believe your country was under communism, that’s not real communism” is EXACTLY the scotsman fallacy. But by all means, go for a lengthy post that says nothing.
- Comment on A Polish jalapeño pastry 1 week ago:
It is Polish. No idea why the dude even went there, it is a Polish bakery with wasps on the food. Not uncommon to see over here with some places that are outside or keep doors open.
- Comment on A Polish jalapeño pastry 1 week ago:
The text on the pastry is literally Polish. It is a pastry in a Polish bakery. You don’t need to be outraged on behalf of someone else.
- Comment on We live wasted lives 1 week ago:
No true scotsman fallacy. I could say that no country was under ideal capitalism so you can’t criticize it either. You have to look at reality, not make believe nations that never existed.
- Comment on We live wasted lives 1 week ago:
And yet over here it is exactly what happened. So we have 3 years during a civil war, and 60 years of a failed state.
- Comment on We live wasted lives 1 week ago:
Yeah, people didn’t. They didn’t give a shit about the “collective” farms. They worked because they were forced to and fucked it up for everyone because there was no difference between giving it your all and slacking off. Hundreds of microfarms worked better than one large collective one because they didn’t think it was “ours” they thought it was “nobodys”.

Because it’s all politics. There is money in ridiculing a politician, rigtfully or not. Also, people don’t do that shit “organically”, it’s too much effort and has to start somewhere. So either it is 100s of accounts that were started by few people (bots), or it is specifically targetted by political opponents (bots).
Also, ask yourself, would you change your account name, set your avatar to that picture, just for a passing meme joke on a single video? No? Then why would anyone else do that?
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Bots, not much else.
- Comment on It was all a lie, wasn't it? 1 week ago:
I mean, if you get winters that go to -20, you still have to heat it up during it. But most it goes down is like 15 degree C? Not comfortable, but you probably won’t freeze unless you don’t heat at all
- Comment on It was all a lie, wasn't it? 1 week ago:
The pipes go into the wall, older houses have them running outside the wall, right next to it, especially for stuff like radiator pipes. Wiring goes into the wall and gets plaster put over it. Saw a false ceiling in bathrooms too, since that had a lot of little lights so they probably ran it that way to keep it simpler. A lot of buildings just aren’t insulated, especially older ones, walls do an okayish job already. But newer buildings have styrofoam on the outside of the building. Makes em pretty much have the exact same temp year round, unless you open a window.

I always laugh to myself when people think French is hard. Try learning Polish and you’ll hate yourself

And no heat losses from slapping the chicken either
- Comment on One gamer got so tired of waiting for Valve, he made his own 'Steam Controller 2' out of Steam Deck parts, and it even splits in half like Switch Joy-Cons 2 weeks ago:
You should give it a try, it is some of the weirdest and coolest tech in controllers. It’s the only one I use for gaming, dropped every other for it. The gyro aiming thing is such a weird yet natural concept it’s just funny nobody thought of it before them. Lots of settings to go through before it works well for a specific game. I set it up for CSGO and was able to play at like 80% of my usual skill (LEM at the time), with spray control being amazing on it compared to mouse. Honestly, if I had it when I was learning to play FPS when I was young, I’d probably be better on it than kb+m

Nothing, one was simply trendy and OP doesn’t know how movements work so they just lumped it together
