If there’s interest I can make it happen!

Well I mean MSPaint Whispers should’ve seen us all banned.

They aren’t and it won’t happen after the Huawei fiasco. Xiaomi isn’t a bad brand, but its tie in to Chinese surveillance just isn’t something that people are gonna ignore.

Who are you again?

I feel like in the last year I’ve completely went the opposite way. I got tired of “comfy” and want to look nice when I go out. It definitely helps my self esteem.

No. Anyone with that kind of egomaniacal bent is compensating for something.

Just some context of why he should stay banned, from old SRK: https://archive.supercombo.gg/t/mcdonalds-incident-2014-chinese-edition-woman-murdered-by-religious-cult-members/169222/58

Have been waiting for his banishment since 2014-era SRK when he was on his race-baiting "All Chinese eat dogs" bullshit. Stay clapped.

The question is will Biden get the nomination? There will likely be a primary challenger here.

Facts. I cannot play Valorant at all since I switched to Windows 11. It now locks me out because I dual boot to Fedora.

Totally forgot about that part, but yeah what you tend to have in this movie is a bunch of followers trying to be leaders, because they typically buy what the TV is telling them. Walter was probably using Chinaman and Charlie and whatever circa the 70s, but in the late 80s/early 90s, the enemy of the week was the Iraqis, so the angst was against them. Especially that era, using slurs was just the course. Even after 9/11, remember my dad using the camel jockey/sand n****r slurs. Not saying any of that is ok, but it was definitely a bit of the play on 1984 where the media controls the narrative and allows them to dictate good from evil with your tacit approval.

Well, but the dude ends up repeating most everything everyone else says throughout the movie. So it's not really, IMO. It's more that he tries to parrot every one else. "That rug really tied the room together." "This aggression will not stand." etc. But would Lebowski know the difference between Chinese and Korean? Probably not. He doesn't really seem to give a shit about anything but himself throughout the movie. Walter knowing enough to try to PC it up after serving in Vietnam is actually shocking when it's very clear he has unresolved trauma. Just felt like the movie tried to flip everything on its head.

This is actually great fucking news. I was never sure if this legitimately helped, so when I first started reading this tweet, I was expecting impropriety with money. Glad my cynicism is wrong here.

Just moved, doing a massive project for my home office/gaming space. Will drop pics when they're done.

I’m all for some type of immigration reform, this is a massive problem that needs to be figured out. Clearly not an overnight solution. But bussing/flying migrants to affluent communities as a publicity stunt and claiming “this is what Biden is doing to you!” and thinking this is okay is bad. Full stop.

Oh yeah worst movie I saw out of Tubi’s Pandora Box: Rollerball, the 2002 one. Hooooooly fuck it was bad. And not in a redeeming way. Like maybe if I hadn’t had bat AIDS and could’ve been around friends we could’ve riffed on it, but I honestly felt like maybe letting the Rona take me, that’s how joyless that movie is. I couldn’t even muster the strength to turn off the movie. That’s how bad the combo of that movie and COVID was, it sucked my will to grab the remote.

I had a massive fever and I have only twice in my life ran fevers before. It was awful, sinuses, massive cough, joint aches. But somehow I slept really well. I just stayed in front of the TV and let Tubi loop shitty old movies and slept nonstop.

Shit, I've almost been tempted by shows at the Danforth. But yeah, after I caught it in Chinatown I've been hella selective.

Most likely they wanted to paint him in a horrible light thus they never got approval from him or even reached out?

Now know where the next 30 consecutive school shootings are gonna be.

Radical right or left are both scourges. On one side you have a group complaining about woke-ism, and decrying cancel culture while simultaneously trying to cancel people and companies who they deem "woke," and on the other side you have people who take offense at everything and instead of having a discourse about it like a normal fucking human they just try to make the people they're offended at unwelcome in the public lens. The far left is just as much for creating a groupthink state as the far right.

Feel like anyone that liked the D&D movie in the 2000s has had a lobotomy. Rented it with one of my friends to riff on in 2001, it was so bad we couldn't even riff on it and turned it off.

Still waiting to see if TMNT:TF gets the same treatment, but feel like it won't.

Got it working now. It took me a while. Garuda with the zen kernel was sending back out to kdm the moment I launched it for the longest time; this was on 6.0, 7.0, experimental and GE proton. Think it was either something with KDE or the zen kernel or my hardware. Once the 5.17 kernel released, I haven’t had a single issue getting it to run on GE. Thankfully up until then I have a Windows partition as a contingency plan.

Honestly having a ton of fun with this game. i double dipped and bought it on Steam as well. Works fine on my laptop, just won’t launch at all on Linux for me. Windows runs it fine though.
