isn’t that illegal on multiple counts?

Saw some post back then about people donating their life’s saving to Trump. Always thought those are just jokes or memes, but now I’m not so sure anymore.

I’m still furious about my tea box. Purchased 1 month apart and it went from 25 bags/box to 20 bags/box with the price increases about 16-18% (based on my head math, can’t bother to calculate the exact amount)

Those cars with only touchscreen terrify me. I don’t even dare to turn down the AC in the EV car I drove last month when I feel a little cold because it would took THREE precision taps (small UI buttons) at DIFFERENT locations on the screen just to open the Climate Control screen. I have to pull over just to adjust the fan speed, smh.

The dashboard is also a fucking screen with multiple tabs that I have to “scroll” through with a knob on the wheel.

I hate the fucking thing the entire time I’m driving it.

The fact that India is still one of the most overpopulated place on earth shows that natural selection aren’t working very well.

One thing I took from the article is they’re trying to sale the idea of having MORE space in a car due to smaller transmission system. In 1 presentation, they show the idea of putting a FUCKING DOUBLE BED IN THE CAR!

I DON’T want MORE space in the SAME sized cars.

I want the SAME space but in SMALLER sized cars.

The space we have now is FINE, and the car sizes are TOO BIG.

STOP MAKING BIGGER CARS!

Thanks, this is exactly what I need.

edit: aww, my favorite racing game Dirt Rally 2.0 is not supported, windows only. But Dirt Rally (1) is supported by all 3 OS: windows, mac, and linux, plus support for VR. So somehow the sequel is worse. Is it just a case of lazy devs?

The moral of piracy is hard to define imo. And there’s definitely no hard right or wrong.

In my case, in the past I pirate because I live in a 3rd world country and $60 is entire month’s salary.

Nowadays, some time games doesn’t offer demo or trial, and I can’t afford to buy something I wouldn’t enjoy after 30 minutes playthrough.

Some people say they pirate because fuck the devs or publishers. But then you But for me, if some devs or publishers are considered bad and not worth supporting in my eyes, I just doesn’t give a shit about anything they put out. It’s that simple, don’t look it up, don’t talk about it, don’t engage in its discussion online, fuck’em. Nintendo is one of those in my eyes because of their constant anti-consumer behavior.

Can you play “Windows only” Steam games on Linux?

Probably a stupid question, sorry.

Fuck those abusers. They’re the reason why Steam adjusted the regional pricing in my country to +50% (some games +100%). Before, $60 games in western countries are translated to $10 in my country, now they’re $15 - $20. And our minimum wage is <$1/hour.

Actually, Steam Regional Pricing is the only way I can afford to buy games legitimately. I live in a 3rd world country, and we’re poor compared to the majority of the world. Thanks to regional pricing, a full price USD$60 game is now $15 in my country. Believe it or not but minimum wage here is <$1/hour.

I have to admit that I’ve never bought a game “full price” of $15, not that I wanted to, just can’t afford it. I believe my most expensive game is ~$10.

Don’t even need Steam deck. The Steam store has put an end to my pirate life over a decade ago.

On multiple occasions, I have found myself rather wait for sale and bought a game on Steam, than receive it for free on Epic store.

I put every single games that I have ever pirated in Steam’s wishlist (if it’s available). Then slowly buying them one by one when they goes on sale. I’m not rich by any means and it’s the least I can do.

Luckily there is no children working in Tesla’s factories …yet.

Didn’t know Hummer make EV. And god it’s still as inefficient as always.

Why would you expect something like that to be free or even one-time payment?

Electricity definitely cost money even when the city or state pay for the infrastructure, which is really unlikely.

At an EV car showroom the other day, one of the big main focus function of the car that the salesman tried to pitch was “you can browse Amazon or do shopping online on the infotainment system”. Also, you have to pay for a subscription to "unlock " the top speed and torque.

This is not the USA, so maybe it’s just a thing in my country.

A smaller skull might help with that, if you know what I mean.

Funny, or pathetic?

Probably both.

Should have said it’s your dying grandma’s wishes.

I don’t understand why corporates are so against the idea of savings millions of dollar in office spaces. More people working remotely mean smaller office required, cut on office supplies and utilities bills. Higher employees moral, motivation, and productivity.

What are so bad about all that? Just because the boss can’t spy on their employees and assert their authority ?
