  It took me a second to see your angle. I gotta say tho’, I have felt this way many times and I will continue to do so. To someone from the field, it is quite relatable. I assume it is also intended in such a way.

  I was going to say, I remember Win7 having not just mutliple options but also a left-handed version. I would be surprised if DE’s like KDE don’t.

  Minor nitpick: Why would they try to make America Chinese again?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft Closes Canadian Studio After It Unionizes⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Carfule question: Could it be that the reason the workes unionised is the same reason as to why Ubisoft closed it down?

  If things were looking bad, it makes sense to unionise. if Ubisoft was going to shut down sooner or later anyway, might as well do it when the studio votes to unionise, as closing it down later would only become more difficult.

  Which would be pretty dumb if something actually happened there.

  If someone prank calls the police around here they get a (pretty hefty) fine. Other than that, not much will happen. Police will still show up, they will (usually) still take you seriously, they have to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Well, it’s funny if you can read Egyptian signs!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it was due to someone gossiping about that, but yeah that’s the only unpleasent background I could find in that article. The paragraph even ends on a positive note.

  I just dislike it if people throw around a source as an argument without constructing their argument.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Well, it’s funny if you can read Egyptian signs!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I have read it and it is not clear to me what exactly you wish to say.

  Now, personally I don’t care but if you were to elaborate on what you mean I would read and maybe understand your argument.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Well, it’s funny if you can read Egyptian signs!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you care to elaborate?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hmmm...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d like to bleach my eyes, thank you

  Baked beans are fucking brilliant, you should broaden your culinary horizon

  … Did you forget the /s?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A strange charger⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I get that you were joking, but maybe don’t equate these two. Anyhoo, have a good day!

  This is a shower thought community, not a doomsayers community

  You haven’t played Grounded, I reckon?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Travelling through space using the Sun as a Fuel⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hm, there is the Bowl of Heaven series by Gregory Benford and Larry Niven, which utilises a similar concept. I think you will have to read quite far until the concept is explained, but it’s been a while.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I fully agree, but I think this is the wrong community. There is a subtle not-so-great meaning to posting this as a shitpost which you might have missed.

  Also great: A heads-per-capita count of every country!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I should call her.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I am aware, but it still looks very unsettling. The fake colour actually makes it worse I think, because I have seen plenty similar pictures in gray scale

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I should call her.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks, I hate it. Not because of the hole, but because of how unhealthy the skin looks in this picture.

  But isn’t that what the first poster is playing on? It would certainly lower the chance of transmitting a virus

  Heh, remember when everyone was playing Breath of the Wild aka Genshin Impact?

  Why am I having tinnitus, a tooth ache, poor balance and sharp eye pain all at once?

  Pleasant. I suppose you never have questions about topics which are not your forte?

  Well, I may be a cannibal, but I don’t discriminate!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨salty⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Which would actually work if you dissolved in salt

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Witcher III is currently on sale for 3€ until 25th May⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I only played W2 and W3. W2 was not necessary to play the third one, but it’s certainly not a bad game (I personally didn’t like it as much due to the fairly linear story telling). W1 I am told is not that great. Both are much shorter than the complete edition of Witcher 3 I’d argue. The DLC should be fine if added afterwards, I can wholeheartedly recommend both. Blood & Wine especially has received wide praise back then as “being a whole game in the shape of a DLC” .

  Thronebreaker is a tales-game that I haven’t had the time for yet. I was told it’s solid.

  The Witcher Adventure Game is essentially a board game and is absolutely not necessary for any of the other games. If you like board games and have people to play it with, it’s actually quite good. It has a bit of a learning curve and I very much recommend reading or watching whatever tutorial you can grab a hold of, because it is not all that intuitive.

  While I do recognise the colloquial and unserious tone of your argument, I have to disagree wholeheartedly: Human right are universal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A 19-year-old girl just received the world’s first wireless bionic hands controlled by thoughts⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, the plot of Ghost in the Shell sounds pretty close from what I recall: Poor people can only afford cheap bionics, but cannot repair or replace them once support ends.

  Now that’s a fair point

  Worry not, someone else was doing that for him the past months ;)
