South park had an amazing episode about addiction where Satan broke it down as being an extension of our survival instincts. The issue is we survive too easily so some people keep chasing the high they’re missing from food, hunting and shit.

| Satan | Then allow me to explain the darkness of the human soul! [moments later he’s on Stan’s bed, the fiery light gone] So you got dopamine, right? That’s the chemical that gets released in your brain whenever you do something pleasurable, like eating, sex, and that’s just nature, right? Like rabbits and fish and shit. They need dopamine so that they want to consume and reproduce.

| Stan | Okay.

| Satan | But because humans have progressed and now have access to all the shit they want whenever they want it, it’s easy for them to overdo and have dopamine problems. You know, it’s not fuckin’ rocket science, this stuff.

| Stan | So there’s nothing spiritually wrong with me?

| Satan | Fuck no! It’s like, okay, it’s like being diabetic. You know, it’s like you can eat wrong and eat wrong and chemicals get released from your liver in a weird way, you know, you’ve been eatin’ gluten and shit, and then eventually you’ve got a chemical imbalance from your liver. And something clicked, and now you’re diabetic forever, right? So like, if you keep doing something too much, eventually there’s, ummm, a dopamine fuckup, right, and you’re kind of screwed up for life.

| Stan | So what does that mean? I I can get addicted to everything so I can’t enjoy anything?

| Satan | Yeah, that’s pretty much what it means.

One big issue with retail computers coming with Linux is the kickbacks from the Windows ecosystem.

Things like AV trials and MS Office. I don’t know if they break even or make a profit on all the bloatware from a Windows based sale.

Down the rabbithole you go

I thought it was a poke at Minority Report

Same way he got elected.

They control the media.

If he lost we’d be drowning in election fraud articles, lawsuits, investigations and “evidence”.

I second tinkercad for super basic parts. Need to print a knob for a radio that isn’t on thing-verse? 20min in tinkercad.

For blender basic things to learn could be plugging a hole in a part and adding a smaller or bigger one to match the screws you have on hand.

Or cutting a part in half to extend it, fill in the gap.

I’m hoping those salt batteries pan out.

I tried to get my nephews into pokemon nintendo games when they were like 10. Failed bad because “too much reading” and went back to Roblox…

You don’t need to go back in time for that.

Just go visit the Amish!

From what I’ve learn (mainly from mainstream media) I respect their choice to maintain thier culture and lifestyle. Something to be said from having no rat race and living a simple life off of the land.

Ahora tengo gato would’ve worked just as good

Wired is king.

If I gotta do wireless I get one with a RF dongle/base.

Astro A50 Wireless. Needs a dongle but it’s waaaay more stable than any bluetooth headset. Both on range and audio quality.

WF isn’t pay to win.

Its pay to look fly.

I was playing the first descendant. They had free armor dye giveaways.

• can’t use them unless you can a skin
• when you do use it then it’s gone. Stuck on that character AND skin…

Fuck that game right there.

Color packs cost like $2.50 for a paintjob in TFD and that’s like 5 colors.

Warframe has color themes with a full set of things like camo, smoke or sky. You unlock the pallete and you can reuse it everywhere in your account.

Simple Spanish too. You could read this with a bit of American high school spanish

Its a neckbeard joke

Yep this was me. Anti skip CD player then mp3 CDs then zune

What we need is a president to pull a bait and switch. Gotta play the long game though.

Kamala got so many donations she literally can’t spend it all before election day. Next best thing? Get more democrats elected at the state level so we can get good bills actually passed.

Maybe then we can start fixing shit.

This reminds me of the wood chips delivery in the driveway bit…

Fucking propaganda machines.

This starts with corporations.

The masses can start doing paper and glass, but corps are by far way more wasteful with plastics.

3m recently invented a great replacement for packing supplies. Instead of plastic bubble bags you get this paper that opens into cushionlock

This one is harder to stop since lots of scams are hosted over VoIP from overseas.
