I have a VPN, so this could definitely work.

Someone with finger joint issues should probably stay away from cajon - it’s a knuckle-rapping simulator.

That’s all, folks!

Given the history of the series, I find this to be pretty endearing. I have fond memories of playing the multi-disc Baldurs Gate 1 on PC as a child. It’s kinda fun to see that today’s gamers will have a similar experience with the same series nearly 30 years later.

They were paid in cocoa beans… 😖

I bet it was Scenery by Ryo Fukui - this album is a classic YouTube recommendations banger.

Installing uBlock is so quick, all you need is 30 seconds of their consent to lean over their shoulder and install it. The whole process can be faster than the actual ad break, in some cases.

The Gameboy Advance startup sound never fails to activate my neurons either.

I recently attended a polyamorous wedding where one pair of individuals in the polycule were formalizing their individual bond/commitment to each other (but both still remaining in the larger structure of the 5-6 person polyromantic/polyamorous constellation.) It was cute! All the other members of the group walked the bride and groom down the aisle and gave cute best-man-style speeches instead of a religious ceremony.

I enjoyed the event and they all seemed really happy.

Note takers, I guess…

Less-corporate, creator-owned networks like Nebula and Dropout might be a potential route to a more sustainable and less centralized online video ecosystem.

Or at the very least the Four Seasons Total Landscaping incident. It’s like a Curb Your Enthusiasm cold opening sketch or something.

Yeah, at least these dominant corporations are now being forced to compete and become profitable without the advantages of free financing. This process is revealing the ghoulishness that their exaggerated ability to outspend their competition via borrowed capital had been hiding from the consumers.

This, and the higher interest rates also mean that capital isn’t “free” anymore and so their horizons before taking profits from any given investment have to be shorter to make the same amount they used to make.

This is a pretty bitter and antisocial meme. God forbid that people enjoy a normal social life and live in a community where they have the opportunity to encounter people they care about and connect with them. Do you really prefer an impersonal and anonymous public life?

It’s still true that a deflationary economy would be a mess though. If we had deflation, the rich wouldn’t even bother investing and would literally just sit on a pile of gold like Smaug. I know trickle-down doesn’t work but an economy where nothing circulates would be hellish.

Yep! It’s free real estate.
