Confused by the right wing angle. The community and website in general is still very left wing. /r/all is almost entirely anti Russia, anti-Trump/Musk and pro-Hamas terrorists.

The problem is that they’re censoring Luigi because they’ve sold out and are afraid of becoming a hub for riot planning.

UK. It’s actually alright here despite our culture of complaining about everything.

Weather is predictably dull and boring, but in a world of climate change that’s not such a bad thing anymore.

Wages are outpacing the cost of living once again so that’s nice.

Politics is just the usual arguing/ bitching about the economy. Everyone blaming each other blah blah blah. Storm in a teacup really.

US news is getting a bit scary, seeing the president cosying up with the enemy and appearing to want to let them take Ukraine in exchange for half of their minerals means that I don’t think we’ll be considering them a close ally in the near future. At least not a reliable one.

I rely on them in the winter. I used to get really miserable from around November onwards but now I take one daily and I’m only moderately miserable

Some chinesium computer mouse. I had low expectations but it worked perfectly for a good 7 years before the mouse wheel died. It even had RGB, removable weights, and variable DPI/pointer speeds!

I get a searing pain up the side of my face if I yawn incorrectly

My most recent job took SIX WEEKS before they started allocating work to me. And they didn’t even have a proper onboarding process - they just sat me down in front of a desk and didn’t know what to do with me. I ended up heading over to their manufacturing area and spending a couple of weeks helping people fuck about fixing things because I was so bored.

Same but towards the blast. I’ve seen Threads, I ain’t hanging around for that shit.

New PC graphics cards alone cost as much as entire games consoles. The top end ones cost the same as multiple PS5s. That’s why consoles exist.

I am on principle because what the fuck is the point of all this industrialisation and technology development if we aren’t trying to break out of the cycle of scarcity?

As for how it can be properly funded: fuck knows.

Pensions have already been overhauled in the UK. Now pensions are essentially a tax efficient way of investing where you also don’t get the realised returns until after you retire, so essentially you are paying for your own future.

26!? Do you live in hell? I start sweating at 19 and at 22 I’m stripping off to my underwear

UK police are not the same as Burger police

Same. I remember seeing a lot of buzz surrounding it on release day, but I’d never played a TES game before. Decided to download it and play for an hour just to see what it’s about. I remember after what felt like roughly an hour I suddenly had massive hunger pains, checked the time and realised I’d just been playing for about 9 hours straight with no break. I don’t think I’ve ever had another game do that to me before.

(UK) All three are technically correct, but 1 and 3 are the most commonly used. 1 is casual and the most frequently said (mainly because it has fewer syllables and we humans are lazy).

Edit: Thinking about this more. Phrase 1 is what you would normally use when you desire something that is not shared with others, for example:

“I found this old slice of bread behind the sofa…”

“I want that!”

Or “This week’s jackpot is 1 billion pounds!”

“I WANT THAT!”

Phrase 2 or 3 are normally used when you are expressing a common desire.

“I wish this skyscraper would just fall on top of me so I don’t have to go to work tomorrow” “I want the same”

“I wish Uncle would stop drinking.” “I want this too, but he is very thirsty.”

Yeah, up until about 2 weeks ago I was still using a Pixel 4. It was 5 years old but never felt slow at all.

I do woodworking as a hobby. It doesn’t make money unless you invest in a full workshop and scale up production to the point where it would basically be a second job. Often the material costs alone are as much as it would cost to buy a completed item.

I’d still recommend it as a creative outlet though. There’s something satisfying about seeing that coffee table in the lounge and thinking “yeah I made that!”

I’ve reverted to buying the previous year’s flagships now. When you do a side by side comparison the only real difference between last year’s and this year’s is £300-400.

Because that’s still very niche. Flagship phones have more than enough power for the vast majority of users and have done for years now. The cost/benefit analysis doesn’t add up

You might be cursed. I’ve never noticed any choppy video and I was still on a pixel 4 until last week

WhatsApp (& mobile internet in general) replaced it for me. It’s no longer a requirement for both my friends and myself to be at our computers at the same time to talk shit to each other.
