Kind of surprised they didn’t do Javier, but I guess he was in RDR1, so he is exempt.
EU4 is in a pretty good place, all the DLC since Leviathan has been good, and Leviathan was patched into a pretty good state after a while.
SuperGreatFriend is a fairly high effort gaming channel on the much more chill end. Covers a lot of obscure games as well as mainstream ones. Probably best known for his excellent Deadly Premonition LP from almost 15 years ago now, has moved more into doing blind playthroughs. He has a small (rarely get over 10k views) but very dedicated fan base.
Favourite series of his are Deadly Premonition, Illbleed, Life and Times of Bully Demise and Laser Lords.
That is what the cancel button is for. So many posts lost, like tears in the rain.
Had to unclog a toilet. On account of woke.
Gotta start with EU3 to catch you up on the storyline. EU1 and 2 were retconned in 3.
Bard of Life. The only thing I know about Homestuck is Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff.
Saw this and thought it was nice that Prysner chose to center the Iraqi people who died first and went into the comments.
I'm assuming that the President lied and went to war against a brutal dictator because the American people were desperate for vengeance and he had to show that he was doing something.
Kinda pales compared to the current presidents lies, literally trying to change US history to become a dictator with the sole objective of gaining personal power and wealth.
How the fuck does this make it any better? Is killing OVER A MILLION PEOPLE suddenly good because they felt like they had to do something?
I just find the deference to chatbots a bit sad in that it will cause people to be less curious. Guess this is how people felt about moving from an abacus or slide rulers to calculators, but it gets used for such menial bullshit that can easily be looked up instead of asking the virtual eqvivalent of Dave at the pub.
70% of the US working population are full time workers.
30% of the working population are thus excluded, and they are likely all (with some extraordinary exceptions) below the median wage. Which means that 60% of below median wage workers are being excluded (or 51 million people), which is a significant amount compared to the top 1000 people in the above example. Doesn't say so in the wikipedia article, but easy to tease out when they start weaseling with "fully employed" when a significant amount of the working population are not part time employed by choice.
Median numbers do look a lot better when you remove 60% of below median earning workers, who would have thought.
Now I'm curious wtf is going on in the different tubes. Since they all start at like 3am for me I have no idea.
Also would be disconcerted if I started getting DMs tbh.
Was more of a hopeful estimate than anything. From what I've seen of American dog owners they seem to just have dogs run around in their backyards and call it at that.
Could roughly work out to the 25% of Americans that walk for more than ten minutes being the dog walkers of those households.
Yeah, the main reason it gets me riled up is that the domestic aristocracy of Scotland, which is from the same group of people that make up and have made up the vast majority of Scottish people for centuries, are treated as foreign. It is an easy way to wash your hands of any sins, just pretend that you're part of the outgroup. It is a bit like Swedish people or Norwegians claiming they were opressed by identifying with the struggles that Sami people endure at their hand.
The same courtesy is rarely afforded the English who were also systematically cleared off land during the enclosures of the commons so it could be "better exploited" by land owners. England gets treated as a monolith despite there being many outgroups that were similarly persecuted by the state (Quakers, Romanichal, Irish Travellers, Lollards etc).
Rice cooker and dishwasher are the two huge ones that I didn't use to have in childhood that have changed a lot for me. I am pretty good at cooking rice in a pot, but the constant anxiety that it will get burned and stink up the entire apartment gets to me, and the rice cooker is better at it than me anyway.
Otherwise (not really a gizmo but it was a huge change for me) I guess a stainless steel saute pan with a lid is my most used kitchen appliance. Cast iron is fine but heavier to handle, doesn't fit as much and is harder to wash. Non-sticks just start peeling. My trusty stainless steel pan has lasted years and is still just as good.
Oddly I wouldn't want a popcorn maker, was brought up making it on the stovetop, it took me a while to adjust to induction but I've managed. I get more unpopped kernels but they are ridiculously cheap anyway. When I am alone and get especially distracted I sometimes just have popcorn for dinner and then the leftovers for breakfast.
Never used to have a dishwasher and getting one was a huge difference. It saves a huge amount of time in washing glasses and cutlery most of all.
Scotland is one of my hobby horses.
Now you’d think that they were a poor uwu wittle baby who were conquered instead of willingly joining in order to get more of that colonial pie as they spectacularly failed at establishing their own colonies. Scottish people have deluded themselves into thinking that they went through the same thing as the Irish rather than acting as the attack dogs of the English for the last 300 years, ironically also in Ireland. Being marginally less bad than the English is no great feat.
Yeah, that is where I grew up. Lots of Dutch people.
