As we all know, Roblox is garbage tier gameplay structured around psychological cues to get children to fill an endless pit with fake money bought with real money....
I don’t think there’s a problem with restricting internet access for your kids, especially if you can get other parents (of your kids friends) to do it too
but on the other hand anglos literally bred pit bulls to tear cattle apart while they were still alive (and it was actually illegal to slaughter cows in england using normal methods)
I’m not saying pitbulls necessarily are genetically like that but I wouldn’t be surprised.
But regardless, let us appreciate the fact that 1800s era brits thought that the only appropriate way to consume beef was by slaughtering it with a dog ripping it’s muscle off its back while tied to a pole. Even being killed by a pack of wolves or a lion would be more humane lol
reality: the code is written in 5 minutes, and it’s never debugged because the developer was fired by management. The buggy code is sent straight into software production
goat testes - like the white of an egg but kinda musty (would not eat again)
snails - chewy
crawfish - tastes like a “muddier” lobster
shark fin soup - had it once in a restaurant decades ago, it was kinda gelatinous but slightly sticky
sea urchin - I didn’t like this, but the ones I’ve seen in sushi restaurants look different (paler) than the ones I see fresh from the ocean, so it might be a freshness thing
eel - fatty and denser meat similar to the texture of mahi mahi
wagyu - I’ve had a few slices of this before, and I find it overrated (I find steak in general overrated). However I had it seared on a pan and it was thinly sliced already so it might’ve just been too nuked to taste good
I think the clickwheel design is, in my view, the single best one-thumb no-looking-required input scheme for an MP3 player I think anyone has ever made. Plug it into, say, my car stereo AUX port and I can pick it up with a free hand to control volume, select tracks, and even navigate mostly by memory without having to look at the thing. I can just tell where I am based on the feel of the control. Infinitely better than a featureless flat slab of a touch screen that gives you no sensory feedback.
can’t most of these things be achieved easily by physical buttons too? of course everything is better than touch screen buttons
yeah I hate having them in my pocket. It’s so bulky. MP3 players on the other hand are like credit cards weightwise, and you can still use normal fucking headphones with them

apologies your logic is not convoluted enough to reach its natural conclusion
attaching the cat-bread to a generator would prevent it from falling, so it would stop rotating (no further need)
It would just be a motionless (apart from whatever the cat’s doing, assuming it’s still alive) and it wouldn’t work
sorry!

It’s often linked to some geographic or cultural uniqueness of Europe, like how they didn’t have famines or shit and so they were able to be creative about nature that wasn’t chaotic and devastating.
That just makes it even more embarrassing that they had to import all their math from the east
Their latest round of stupidity pops up a new EULA and forces you to take it or, again, you can’t access your stuff. But that’s just more unenforceable garbage, so who cares, right? Well, it’s getting worse....
I already knew we’d collapse before COVID, but seeing the reaction to COVID made me realize how absurdly stupid the average person is
Like at least with racism, you could tentatively argue that a mayo indirectly benefits from it. But the COVID brainworms is reminiscent of AI bots. Calling them cattle would be generous

Being a somewhat tech illiterate millennial (only knows how to navigate windows and passed a data structures class) it feels like any of these things could be eventually taken out next (probably not Linux just because it’d be the hardest)
I wouldn’t at all be surprised if they found a way to monetize hard drives into a subscription based storage service
Mostly I don’t understand much, but I know that I witnessed the internet turn from a fast clickable diverse wonderland to a place dominated by 6 websites which take up 4GB RAM to run, followed by the further decline of youtube (started going for ADHD related results in 2011), google (search results started sucking in 2019) and reddit (mods started getting banhappy in 2020)
colonialism is when you build bridges and train stations xigma-male
non-colonialism is when you have 50+ military bases scattered across a foreign continent and keep all their cash in your banks and don’t allow them to even withdraw it and you assassinate the last 10 democratically elected leaders who tried to change this arrangement nato-cool
this dude over here really had his “chinabad” switch turned on in 2018 and doesn’t even realize it or remember what it was like in the before-fore times
dude it’s literally a fucking scarf. you are saying you’re against people wearing scarves
I am AGAINST women wearing JEANS AND T SHIRTS because they are being OPPRESSED into NOT SHOWING more of their skin in a WONDERFUL and MISOGYNY-FREE alternative such as a BIKINI or THONG
