Contrapoints’ latest video is a very good one you might find interesting. It’s sort of a PhD in video form, very deeply researched. The topic is heterosexuality, framed through the Twilight stories. It’s long and pretty meaty

Yeah AvE was a punch in the nuts
Kitchen stuff: a carbon steel wok, a Dutch oven and a bread form. Also an electric toothbrush.
But most of all: a fully automatic bean to cup coffee machine
Pretty big changes have resulted from the previous Trump presidency. Any reason why you think this one will be ineffectual?
I don’t mind paying for the past and future development of a service I enjoy. Transcoding is an essential feature for me. While it’s a free feature of the processor, developing software support for it took effort. Other services provide that support for free, but Plex bundles it with other features they charge for. I think that’s fine. As I see it my money goes to support the full experience, from wide app support and good UI to Plexamp and other fun and useful side projects. In fact in a way I am subsidizing much of the experience for free users. Again, I don’t mind, as long as it means Plex’s development and maintenance continues.
I don’t get why people get so tribal about this. I think it’s great Jellyfin is a free and open alternative and if that works for you, fantastic!
Uh, yes. The UN has condemned Hamas’ acts of terror. Does that clarify things for you?
I’ll try the new game. Looks like a lot of improvements and new game modes that aren’t available even with mods
Ok, I get you now
I see your point. Personally, when I look at the money I spent vs hours played, it’s still the cheapest non-indie game I own
Or, and hear me out, re-writing and re-working all the features built over a decade to work in this new game would take so much time and effort that CS2 would either never launch, or not be worth CO’s expense if the game sold at a standard price?
Just shooting from the hip here, but I think maybe you can see cults as a subset of cultures.
A cult is a small group defined by an authority figure, how it treats its members and its relationship with the rest of the world. They are often small groups, but can be large like Jehova’s Witnesses.
Cults are usually a subset of a religious faction, like baptists or Lutherans, which in turn is a subset of for example Protestantism. (There are non-religious cults as well of course).
And confusingly religions exist within cultures and can be a core part of their identity, but one religion can also exist in a totally different culture.
So I think you’re trying to compare all apples with a specific type of oranges here.
As usual this government has it exactly bass ackwards
There are some events that are costlier to plan for than to clean up after. I’m not sure if this is one of those, but…
I’m sure that didn’t help but that’s a drop in the proverbial ocean. There have been many severe rainstorms since that happened and nothing like this occurred
The water management infrastructure is excellent. But it was designed to cope with century floods, not the kind that happen every other century.
Edit: the drainage systems were in fact designed to cope with a once-in-200-years flood. But this was a 500 year flood
Give it some lettuce.
But seriously that man should be at home spending time with his family for the rest of his life. He’s done as much damage to the US as any other politician in the past 30 years but one still feels some compassion for and old man losing the plot.
I know. I was pointing out that while the sarcasm is largely warranted, there are cases where the straws actually are environmentally friendly
They can be, but consumers don’t like the texture of those that haven’t been treated with pfas and so they complain. Businesses will provide what gives them the least headache
That, my friend, is the problem for whichever schmuck is in charge after me, a C Suite executive. By then I will be long gone on my private island, having pulled the rip cord on my golden parachute.
