New cars are ludicrously expensive, especially EVs.

The most I can afford to spend on a car is maybe £14K, and that’s under the proviso that about £4K of that is my own money and the rest is a loan to be paid off over about 6 or 7 years.

So yeah, I’m going secondhand ICE with about 50K miles on the clock and praying it doesn’t die before the loan is paid off (and preferably longer still so I can save a bit more towards the next one).

I’m all for EVs, but they’ve got to bring the price down, and they’ve got to get the batteries to last long enough for the secondhand market to be viable.

Every day, the reasons to either switch to dumb devices or open-source software keep piling up.

Yep, it’s like it’s her generously compensating job compels her or something.

Who’d have thunk it?

(For real though, what did people expect her to say?)

You fools! If you die in Australia, you die in real life!

If you’re interested then you should definitely give it a shot. There’s no combat - all your “battles” are just conversations 😅

Disco Elysium is sorrrrta like that, if you squint a bit.

Not focused around being an introvert or different dialogue styles exactly, but you’re a mess of a human being and conversations can literally hurt you, as it tracks your mental health as well as physical.

You should try it if you haven’t already.

That’s John Startrek, the titular protagonist of Star Trek.

The sad part is that there’s a not insignificant number of people out there who would honestly rather embrace the human instrumentality project and never look back.

I have a very, very limited understanding of the subject, so take this with a lethal dose of salt, but I’m under the impression that the US healthcare system is an absolute minefield, and not everyone has equal access to it, even via insurance, in the ways you might otherwise typically expect.

Methinks the gentleman doth protest too much.

Thanks for the tip! Will give it a go.

I only use it because there’s no way I could convince my friends and family to move to anything else.

There’s no point in switching to another app if I then literally couldn’t communicate with the people I need to through it.

Two days ago I noticed when watching through the app on my phone that I could no longer just skip ads, and the trick of reporting them to skip didn’t work anymore either. I effectively had to just sit and wait.

That same day I got NewPipe, imported my subscriptions, and honestly even if this is just a phased trial or something, I won’t be going back to the standard YT app.

Creators make pennies from ad revenue. If I want to support them, I’ll make a donation or subscribe to their Patreon or something.

I won’t just sit and suffer a slew of ads while my data is harvested under the false pretense that it’s all to support the creators.

I’m like, 99% sure this is a repost of my own OC that I posted to Reddit years ago.

1 - I never thought that would happen. 2 - I was (and probably still am) kind of a dick 😅

Futurama X Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart.

This would would probably work out very well.

Preach. If I could be any age forever it would probably be one of the ones from my days as a scene kid.
