Meanwhile, they are reporting on "discoveries" about Covid that were made in China months ago. This experience has taught me the so-caleld "global medical community" don't communicate with each other well at all and many English language news sources simply don't care what happens in China so they never bothered to follow things there except for repeating "forcing people to stay at home = undemocratic ! "

Getting a adjustable height desk was the best investment I ever made. I do a lot of typing on the computer and this changed my life when I work from home.

Now i have my eyes on a Herman Miller Aeron chair to go with it...

But really we all know that the more fans the better, it helps with aerodynamix, and the more the computer looks like just two sheets of glass and a huge RGB rainbowfest the better the build and ergo larger the penis

It's not really something I care to research... but it's probably overblown. That's what my instincts tell me -- and it's also from experience, because every news cycle, the liberals and democrats get mad about something stupid, that's overblown, or hardly an issue. It's because they read the news media and let them do their thinking for them. 

I agree with you on many parts, specially the 'boy who cried wolf' style reporting that is so popular in north America and how tiring it is. I respect that gut feeling. But it just sucks when no one decides to pay attention when the wolfs are here and its basically one of the last public institutions able to stand on its own in America going down in flames.

Did you do your research or just saying that without having done any?

" Dude, you see this here SPOILER on the back of my car ? No MAN, its not a trunk opener, do your researches, It helps with the trActiOn. "

The fans go brrrrrr in RGB is enough for most people to go gaga over them.

Yeah... tbh I never had a problem with mail in voting. To me this is just a stupid political issue. 

This is more than just a political issue. They are literally tearing apart an American public institution. Reminds me of when the tire companies literally ripped out the tram lines in Los Angeles area to ensure their market share and leave us the beautiful uncongested system that is world renown as L.A. traffic.

bUt the PizzaA PoedoPhiles cOnpsiracy and gay frogs are more crucial than a government dismantling a public good, a whole public institution , in front of everyone eyes

I just don't understand this. Its not only blatantly corrupt, but its also against basic general interests of people.

Its basically robbing the common goods that were established through a lot of fighting. Why are people not getting livid over this? Blows my mind.

Wall-E is the best Pixar movie. The first 45 minutes are an absolute masterpiece in terms of storytelling and without uttering a real single word of dialogue except the "ads" in the background.

Wall-E is a horror film. It depicts a world where we are supposed to feel emotional attachment to a robot. Its also a world where our fellow humans are shown to be so stupid and useless. All a robot has to do is prr and make 'cute sounds' ad we are ready to fall in love with it. Its a cinematic equivalent to anime girl pillows, its sick.

I always wanted a case form this brand. The old ones, the classic ones. I don't understand why everyone is in to these

clear cases. Its like those watches with the clear back to show you the inside workings? Not a fan. Does anyone actually feel "good" after seeing your computer insides flash with coloured lights?

I can't wait to play this game when it comes out next year on steam.

The problem is America is a violent culture.  It's not just police, it's everyday citizens. More people are murdered in Chicago every month than police kill in a decade. No one seems to give a fuck about the root causes. 

Yes, I agree.

When I saw reporting on flooding in the US many years ago I was blown away to see basically gangs on boats with guns use it as an opportunity to steal. I was also blown away at how much violence and rape occurred in a stadium that was used to house people who no longer had access to their homes. I don't want to dismiss the possibility that this was just terrible news reporting, it also showcased the everyday violence in some parts of the US and the "shock and awe" that occurs when this violence spills over to "normal" communities. This is essentially, and this is very hard to remember, one of the richest countries in the world.

I also agree the problems are mostly structural and that tackling "root" issues is difficult. Its not about a "few bad apples", the entire system is currently in a way that creates monsters on all sides - both the police, in their psycho training, and in the general public, with problems of lack of access to health (including mental) care, education, opportunity ect....  No wonder all sides come out swinging. 

It would be an absolute disaster.

The problem is not police. The problem is how they are trained and the lack of mental health workers being integrated with first responders.

When you look at how many cases of death, or even just 911 calls that are related to mental breakdowns or issues, what we need is a new kind of police. A better police. NOT a wishy washy 'lets defund all police man' which would be an absolute disaster. 

I feel bad for police who think they are doing good for the community but are ill trained for the problems they faced, are militarized, and are then told they are not actually helping people.

This virus is like tailor made to exacerbate wealth inequality. 

 

All the owners and execs are gonna be vaccinated first in their bubbles while their "essential workers" will be working exposed waiting for the vaccines. 

 

Cant agree more. We are living another prophesy from DEUS EX they got the twin towers right, global market failure, and now Covid... now we just need the 'ambrosia fix' to get better.

Switch is the only console I have purchased new since a PS2. As someone who pre-covid days used to fly a lot, I thought it was going to be an amazing way to mix up long flights. 

Now that I think about it, even used the only consoled I purchased since the PS2 has been two Nitendo DS where I quickly installed homebrew on them.

I think since the PS2 I abandoned all non-pc non-handheld gaming.

  a true hermsmell, do you have a gaben altar and gaben pajamas? 

No idea what either of things are but if its not a console or a new gaming platform for PC than I am OK with it.

Who?

All of this reminds me of the "perceived" failure of the US to combat Covid.

I hate epic more than you do but to reject all the free games would be a dumb move. all the shitty games i never cared about somehow seem interesting to me, even if only for 5 min of gameplay followed by uninstalling. 

I don't want to sully my bandwidth with epic garbage. I promised myself when I downloaded steam all those years ago I would never download any other gaming platform. 

I still refuse to download epic. I guess I am on the loosing side of the Trojan war.

1992

Wont lie that's pretty cool.

But also wow, why is it India is the place that foreigners go to get lost. Two of my friends got "lost" there fore a few years and a third is still there. She got stuck in India during Covid and then just went all out and is now living in some kind of temple commune. Don't quite get the attraction but won't lie would have loved to be there in that 1992 party.
