Well, yeah…I mean it’s a non-zero group of people that specifically avoided consoles because of the walled gardens and monopolistic behavior by the companies that make them and the stores you get locked into.

So when one of the main vendors for your PC gaming platform starts behaving similarly of course you’re going to notice it.

Except mushrooms. That will be tasty and kill you slowly a week later.

Great. Here comes a Fortnite movie. And then a live action reboot.

Just not brainwashing them how she wants it done, the “Jewish Space Laser” lady.

No idea how Pandas survive in the wild.

Everyone tried to blame Biden for the spike. Wasn’t his fault that we had the worldwide whiplash in demand for fuel once Covid started to clear.

We all said rightly that the president doesn’t control gas prices, at least those of us who had half a clue how economics worked did.

I guess we were only partly right.

Because when you bomb a country that controls a passageway for 20%+ of the world’s oil and LNG placing oil shipments in a chokehold, you sure as hell affect gas prices.

Be lucky if we make it that far.

Pfff. He would have posted pics of it himself eventually.

It’s looking that way.

I can’t tell what part of this story achieves the highest level of bullshit.

Terrorists. Just using half-million dollar bombs instead of suicide vests.

Idiots. Trump couldn’t even learn from Russia’s quagmire. Iran manufacturing drones and missile capacity, Ukraine using drones to attack targets inside Russia, and he didn’t think for a second about US and other infrastructure or bases outside of Iran being targeted. As far as US personnel being killed…that’s a sacrifice he’s willing to make.

That’s not what the toddler in chief’s actions say when he’s moved a bunch of B-52s to UK airbases.

(It’d be great if we all got ‘taters, better than the screwing we’re actually going to deal with)

I’ll cautiously second the first part with a variation. Using the calendar as “oh shit” dates only seems to work for us for things that have burned us before and we apply the “oh shit” factor to that date. Like a payment due and we have it marked to post it 5 days earlier, the panic has to be about getting it out on the dssignated day.

Second part…whatever works.

I can’t think of anyone who thinks any side is good except the brainless sycophants who believe the lies from trump and his Ministry of Truth. Maybe it’s because of my time on Lemmy, but people seem to understand that Iran is shitty, but not shitty enough to manufacture the excuses to do what trump is doing.

It’s both, though the dryer does it worse overall. The abrasion from washing machines as the agitator does its thing can rub and damage some clothes with the applied designs. That’s why inside-out is better for those clothes.

The heating from the dryer will accelerate cracking no matter what, so taking anything out with a design you wish to preserve and air drying it is a better choice.

B52s are not low level bombers and never will be.

No time like the present to take a swipe at a “lot of American food” eh?

No, a “lot” of our food doesn’t taste like barf. Just cheap chocolate, of which we do have far too much.

The “8 Track” in Voyager is not your standard 8 track, it’s a DTR and is arranged differently than the consumer tape cartridge for music. It was shut down about a decade ago, not because it was failing, but because of the power requirements.

FWIW, 8 tracks were pretty good sound for the time. Previously there was no portable music unless you brought a record player with you. They got passed up quickly by the cassette, though.
