Replacing the “www” with “old” works wonders

What? $50k is even in the richest European countries about as much as 2 people earn per year. €25k/year is the median, give or take 2k. Subtracted are about 5k in taxes.

Crazy how expensive the US is…

Wouldn’t it make more sense to, like, have the first 12k dollars tax free and then increase the percentage for everything exceeding this threshold? The more money you earn, the more taxes you can afford to pay. Especially when you earn only little money this is important for you to survive, while $100k/yr managers could easily afford to pay 50k of those in taxes

I thought my 2 year old cat “turn around” some weeks ago! Next will be “play dead”

I can I get your height? Gotta be 2.2m

I think it’s neat. You create an account, without an email address, you just get a random number, choose a password. Then you have the option to send them a letter containing the money and a piece of paper with your random number and they’ll add the time to your account.

Or you can use any other form of payment, including monero

Neither of us has prime

I pay for Mullvad VPN, that’s €60/yr ($65)

I know it’s much but I prefer mailing them a letter with the money to stay anonymous

Interesting. I only got my Mac about a year ago and since then I’ve used AdGuard mainly because it’s the only good thing on iOS and I assumed uBlock Origin never was a thing for Safari.

Yes, safari is WebKit and not chromium. AdGuard seems to be safe.

Huh?

Seems like it depends on who does it to whom. A 19 year old girl? She’s a whore. A 12 year old boy? He‘s a prick. A 12 year old girl? She’s been with the boys for too long. A regular dude/woman mid 30‘s?/40‘s? He’s/She‘s either mentally unstable or drunk. I do it to my girl? She’ll probably ask if she can finally put that thing from her bedside table inside me. An old man? He‘s a creep. A comedian on stage? It’s part of his show and he’s funny!!

Philips Ambilight 55PUS8109 4K LED Smart TV

Runs on TitanOS

Upvote because it made me angry.

I’ve come to the point where at least some people come to me for advice on buying electronics.

Girl friend asked me for a TV to connect with her PlayStation, not that expensive, 4K/60 and low input delay for casual gaming, and it should last for at least 10 years and should be cheap. Long story short, I got her a 4K/60fps TV with a gaming mode that has like 2~3ms delay for € 550. It‘s a dumb Philips TV running Linux, so no google play and you can remove all spyware. It has apps, but she got the PS to do all of this anyway.

I don’t quite think that there’s a name for this genre (yet?) but I’ll take this opportunity to blast out my favorite story-focused game serieses

Xenoblade is a nice fantasy RPG if you really like Storytelling! And all 3 core games are available on Switch!

Generally speaking, Xenogears and Xenosaga have amazing stories too, but Xenoblade got translated and dubbed waaaay better

Edit: just thought of this the last couple of minutes, and, if there was a name for this genre, it would spoil the whole game/movie/book for you! Imagine watching Planet of the Apes for the first time (it’s old by now and I hope there’s no one here who didn’t watch it already) and exactly knowing what planet it is

It is. It also is the best thing to find something on Reddit. And as much as I hate what it has become, it still is the best source of information. But this changes rapidly, sadly. I give it until 2027, then the information on Reddit is garbage too.

It’s not just glue it‘s Elmer‘s Glue. They still have some standard.

As a Mac user myself, I pirate FLAC because the quality is superior to most things I can buy, most albums I like 1-2 songs and it’s definitely better to just pirate and go to music festivals.

Anyway, I pirate FLACs and transform them to ALAC to sync it to Apple Music, the worst but only form to conveniently listen to HQ music on iPhone. (I still miss PowerAMP on android)

Did you play Sir Whoopass on Steam/GoG?

Sadly, there are probably only 5 PS5 exclusives that got no PS4 release… I’ve got one too, I like it, but I think other than Astros Playroom, Spiderman, god of war, final Fantasy 16 and 7-2, there isn’t a single exclusive title.
