There seems to be a lot of resentment about brands honoring pride month. I get that it’s mostly a ploy for more customers, but even so I don’t think it deserves the criticism it gets. Support for the community is widespread and mainstream and I think that should be celebrated in all its forms. If this public corporate pandering ever goes away it should be a red flag that the mainstream support has waivered and everyone should be worried.

Suspiciously timed post, right after they announced a release date for GTA 6.

Hard to tell if this is a proposal to fight over hardware or an offer for free stuff.

I choose to believe the former because it makes me chuckle more.

No need to be scared. It’s a loving relationship.

Can someone provide a summary on what this means? I thought there were malicious exploits in this. Why is it back up and the perpetrator unbanned?

On Thunder, no complaints. The only other one I’ve used is liftoff so I can’t give you a good comparison. All I can say is Thunder checks all the boxes I’m looking for.

It was great. I moved to Thunder though and actually like it a bit more.

Liftoff didn’t keep track of (or at least indicate) opened posts which irked me. Thunder has that with the same general scrolling feel.

I hate tipping in general, but I understand some people like to show their appreciation for a service done well. If that’s the case, tip the repair person doing the labor, not the landlord!

Just in general, let’s stop tipping like the people doing a job need my generosity to survive. Pay the people what the job is worth and stop asking me to make up the difference.

“Pantheon”

Age of Empires, but you have no direct control. You’re a god that different factions can pray to and you have to use your influence to gain more followers over your rival gods. You can do that through demanding conquest, sacrifices, hedonism, or many other ways!

I think it’d be fun!

Honestly, probably the most contested* area throughout history. Maybe after Anatolia, but that has been relatively peaceful in my lifetime so it feels different.

*And by that I mean contested by the most powerful players at their respective times. I’m sure there are places that have had more consistent fueds at a much smaller scale.

Honestly, I disagree. It is much more surprising to me that lifeforms I recognize are older than stars. They’re different timescales in my mind that I never even considered comparing.

Wow, sharks @439mya, Polaris @70mya. They’re more than 6 times older! This is NUTS!

Wow, fuck grandma. Why have modern convinces if you’re still expected to work as hard as the last generation? Shouldn’t our goal be that each generation has a shorter work week than the last?

Most, if not all, laws should include annual inflation adjustments. That includes minimum wage, social security, food assistance, as well as minimum fines for breaking laws. Inflation is built into this economic system. The Fed is mandated to keep inflation at 2%, we should not be surprised that these laws become outdated.

It feels like an unnecessary way to keep politicians relevant since they have to keep voting to update these figures instead of just building inflation into the law.

I fucking LOVE fingerling potatoes!

You can also just search Philomena Cunk on YouTube. The Cunk on Britain series is on there as well as a ton of 5min shorts. It’s so freaking funny.
