I think it is wild that there are countries that allow this distopian shit at all. Sure, if you’re a pilot or something random tests are fine, lives depend on you being fit to fly. But for most jobs having used drugs the evening before wouldn’t affect the job, so it should not be the employers business what you do in your own time.

And although it isn’t LGBTQ+, it definitely looks mentally ill. Hopefully it will shed and slither back to whatever hole it came from.

He’s welcome to try, that’s not going to fly where I’m from.

In other news, Elon Musk was rushed to the hospital today because of ‘a foreign object being lodged in his rectum’. A reliable source mentioned that the billionaire slipped and fell on an unfortunately placed basket of potatoes.

An attending physician anonymously commented that the object proved difficult to remove as ‘the patient was extremely uptight’.

Further information will be shared as it becomes available.

And to add to that: “it’s (a) sausage to me”, het zal me (een) worst wezen, is also perfectly fine in Dutch. “It can rust my ass” is a bit stronger worded.

Ubuntu, the Nickelback of distros.

Ah, so he’s going to stop posting there? Right?

Probably iron deficiency, major blood loss after being stabbed in the kidneys by a spear will do that to you.

Never uninstalled Unreal & Return to Na Pali. Once in a while it just beckons for a new playthrough. And the unforgettable soundtrack, still listen regularly to the original UMX files with XMPlay. 🤤

The song was stuck in my head and I couldn’t help myself :)

Thanks, it’ll be days before that infernal song is out of my head. There is a remedy fortunately:

Haha, guess so. Ah well, no harm done.

Guess I should have used /s.

It’s, in my experience, the ‘universities are liberal/woke indoctrination centres’ folks are also the ones whom have issues with grasping the difference between evidence, facts and opinions.

Evidence is just a fancy word for opinion, right?

In my Dutch social circle it is indeed, but don’t ask me why. Personally I dislike Ibuprofen, it always makes me feel queasy and upsets my stomach.

Across all states, more people voted for him than for Harris.

I never said otherwise.

Unless you’re arguing that electoral college votes should be redistributed in a way that ensures the winner will always be a Democrat…

No, I’m saying that your system needs to be fixed so every vote has the same weight, that’s all. The fact that the term ‘popular vote’ exists at all is the flaw. Who won this year is irrelevant to the argument.

Why? Trump won fair (proverbial at least, I don’t think all the misinformation that has been spewed on X counts as ‘fair’) and square this year, but that doesn’t mean your system isn’t flawed. Votes from certain states still carry less weight due to improperly distributed electors. Same happened with Gore vs Bush by the way.

The majority voted for the candidate I don’t like. That means democracy is broken.

Don’t worry, the US democracy was already broken. That became painfully clear when Trump started whining about not winning the popular vote when he was elected the first time. Being able to lose while having the support of the majority of voters is proof enough:

Hillary: 65,853,625 votes

Trump: 62,985,106 votes

Not every vote has the same weight, which is just completely bonkers and proof that your archaic system is due for a retrofit. Let’s just hope it won’t get chucked away entirely in the coming years.

Somewhere up in high orbit sounds fine. In space nobody can hear you scream, not even Trump.

he should never be allowed in this country again.

I’d appreciate not dumping your garbage on somebody else’s doorstep, thank you very much.

Personally I hated the whole gang warfare mechanic in San Andreas, so I never finished the game.

GTA IV was filled with details and graphically very good at the time. But the constant hounding by your companions was a major turn off. Fuck that “cousin Romain disliked you didn’t pick up your phone while you were being chased by the police” shit.

V was okay, but I also never finished it. Both GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2 just feels like a chore at some point. As much as I’d want to like them they just fail to hold my attention.

For me Vice City was the part I enjoyed most, not overly long and absolutely I loved the 80’s vibe. 🤤
