like i picked xp because the jump to vista was the one that i recalled broke the most stuff but it is a bad example because i would still use XP too, the vista thing as i see it is that they had to add stuff because of tech, and windows 7 was better when it came out because they had already baked that shit, vista ran really bad for most people because it was way more of a demanding os than xp so i feel like the slow trickle of updates until it got to the vista point would just make people more mad because it would eventually get there and it would be way harder to pinpoint the exact version you need for your computer, like if they are making big changes i rather them do it this way so i can opt out of doing the jump, but maybe you are right like fuck microsoft i hate them so much simply can’t do 2 decent versions of windows in row if their life depended on it

i wish i could go to linux but i am in architecture and there is a lot of unsupported apps i need for work and in a office setting it is easier if everyone is using the same programs, they have reduced the attempts to force me into win 11 but it still happens sometimes when i restart and it drives me nuts i hate this company so much

PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: (LAUGH)- It depends on-- on if the Lord Almighty comes down and tells me that, I might do that.

i will get back to my catholic roots if god strikes him down, COME ON DUDE JUST THIS ONCE

they absolutelly are, but i feel like the continuos bloat at the rate they do it nowadays on a ongoing os for like 2 decade would just become too much, like imagine if instead of vista they just kept adding the stuff they need to add to xp again and again like they do fuck up on those jumps (win11) and it is good to be able to just say okay no i am just gonna wait for whenever you guys figure how to do a good one again instead of watching your pc slowly morph into it with no way to stop it

Remember when win 10 was gonna be the last OS?

can you imagine how bloated that would be eventually, that was one of the scariest things microsoft has ever said

marrying france so we can finally get the guyana, bold diplomatic move from lula (france has had a mostly cordial relation with brazil since the beggining of this country like i would probably be more mad if this was trudeau because of the canadian mining companies that were fucking up the amazon)

like making more housing is kinda of the solution, the problem is that you don’t need to build houses as much as should retrofit existing buildings that are empty in dense urbans spaces into housing, as they would have access to much better infrastructure and would be cheaper and less damaging to de enviroment as building materials have such a fucked up carbon footprint due to their production, like i am from brazil and i think the best thing lula did was his proposal to use old federal buildings that have lost their use into housing (for example, a bunch of stuff in rio that is on the most valued land with a bunch of transportation and infrastructure already built in that lost their function when the capital moved to Brasilia) which is incredibly better than the other program that we already had from his first term that builds houses because those tend to be so far away from where people actually live on the areas that have the least job oportunities

McLoughlin’s comments hit at another bleak possibility: Viewers may hardly see MrBeast having fun in his videos because he’s not actually having a good time. In podcasts, Donaldson tells hosts that he goes so hard, he won’t stop working until he burns out and isn’t able to do anything at all. With a laugh, he admits that he has a mental breakdown “every other week.” If he ever stops for a breather, he says, he gets depressed,

i hate to say it but i empathize a bit with this, like i had a real bad mental situation some years ago and i felt this just a constant urge to keep doing stuff because if my brain wasn’t fully ocuppied i could not escape my thoughts, but on the other hand YOU ARE SO RICH, LIKE JUST UNTHINKABLY SO, JUST FUCKING DEAL WITH THIS SHIT, GET DRUGS I DON’T KNOW BUD, like there is a bit of atragic side to the fact that he sold his soul to the machine and now everything feels like shit but it kinda balances out by the fact that you did get what you wanted

can confirm they’ve been buying a lot from brazil for at least a decade, i am pretty sure we are like the biggest producer in the world right now, but i have the suspicion that majority of the soy that stays in brazil is used for like feed farm animals and making biodiesel

like actual latin american 9/11 i no joke got told by my dad in the most somber tone and took a sec to undestand that the guy that made the first show he watched with me during childhood, actually got us into anime had died, real bummer

Monster

like the thing that stops monster from being conservative media is that it was written by naoki and naoki is not a conservative, he has an anti war on iraq metaphor in pluto that was released in 2003 to 2009, standing tall and proud to defend my king naoki urasawa

he is like leagues above obama, coughing baby vs nuclear bomb match up, he is just too much of a class conciliator, the ammount of good he has produced is insane, just on the war against hunger he is historical figure in the country but he will never do the land reforms the country has been needing for centuries and he will not do the revolution, but he does make the life of the brazillians workers better overall, like obama did nothing and has no legacy everything he did was undone and everything he promised he failed, lula has a legacy, which could be better, but is pretty impressive

“Do rio ao mar, palestina se libertará” I wish lula was as good at the domestic policy as he is at foreign, like he is not even that bad at the domestic stuff he just rocks at foreign stuff

we had a really not great time here in brazil with hunger during covid, there was some real brutal imagery of people real hunger, not great, also mostly caused by the callousness of the people in power

Also with the situation vis a vis Za/um being over took by market ghouls you might as well just pirate it

and it is barely a game if you don’t own like at least most major dlcs, which is why they have now a subscription model built in to the game

that is so funny, like imagine having to explain this site on a academic setting just because you want to be fair and balanced centrist and say oh but the left wing extremists, like look at your definitions man:

Extremism: Political beliefs and strategies that fall outside the spectrum of normal politics (Anti-Defamation League, 2017).

•Extreme Right includes antisemitic and Christian Identity forums, neo-Nazis, Proud Boys, secessionists, and White pride groups.

•Extreme Left includes anarchist and socialist forums.

anyway if you came over here after a richard lecture, could you ask him for to do an Q&A here i would absolutelly love to learn what is actually the thesis he is doing as this seems to be only aggregated data which he would use on a follow up, also i would like to talk about the numbers on reddit, which we were expelled from, and if the right wing super group got more space there after we got kicked , RICHARD HIT US UP DUDE LET’S TALK

i simply could not get past the first sentence “in previous videos i have expressed my distate about the wokeness in video games” i will now go clean this from my history feed on youtube so i don’t get sugested more of this

How much suffering is the dev team constantly feeling due to their fan base? I imagine the hoiv team must feel some real dread

i am literally on the opposite side of this problem i have had a full beard since i was a teen and i DESPISE IT it is just so much effort to keep it on a reasonable i am not an insane person who lost control of my life state
