Honestly, invest in a Blu-ray writer and pick up some decent 25gb discs.
Not only can you play old games, but you can archive data in a relatively stable format at a much lower price point.
Why, a hexvex of course!

Here we are; a controversial take on something almost accurate. The context is there for the feminist - women only organisations as safe spaces for women to talk about the issues the patriarchy inflicts upon them.
However, the implication goes beyond the context - “man bad, no want woman safe space” is heavily implied; it’s there but just deniable enough to ragebait, allowing a feminist talking point reply. An excellent trolling strategy, though possibly a self defeating one.
The trouble is, this tactic tends to alienate rather than convert. As a historical example; Megalia’s use of this tactic created pushback from the very group it sought to defeat. Is this a measure of success, or is it an indication of self defeating anger? Tricky call.


The flavour profile has been described as "being punched in the mouth by a bowl of potpourri " by a colleague of mine.
It’s even worse, their net was $132 billion

So even after expenses, the profit of alphabet group was obscene.

Fish eye is another
Edit: as are both the guy’s eyes
It’s risk vs harm:
Men suffer from higher risk (non-consensual alimony, scams, and catfishing (etc) are all too damn common) but lower harm (these are all nasty, but manageable if you look after yourself and follow basic safety).
Women suffer from lower risk (violent men are not as common as the media makes out) but much higher harm (sorry but dead or trapped in physical abuse trumps the lot, not much you can do to protect against these).
Psychology says the women are going to be a lot more cautious (we fear big losses with low odds more than small losses with high odds).
Gents, just take it on the nose that cautious ladies are playing a smart numbers game. Ladies, make sure to make it up to the gents later on in the relationship (we love chocolates too, especially the “sorry I suspected you of murder” kind).


Clearly they gave every last fuck they could about that code.
When you’re young you experience the world, when you get older you keep the world working for the young to experience it, and when you’re old you wish you’d made it work better so you could’ve really experienced it.
Not overly much - society has “dysfunctioned” along perfectly well for millennia. It will continue to be dysfunctional for many more millennia.
Better to enjoy your life and spite that dysfunction than to live under its heel.
Yep, that’s just how it is these days. Let me ask though, does it really matter?
If the girls are afraid of the guys, that’s their problem, not yours. Stick the time into something else you enjoy, let nature run it’s course. Find a job you don’t hate, spend your money as you like, live a happy life without the anxiety of rejection.
Wait, people will pay me to code?
Different strokes for different folks - windows 11 does have it’s uses.
Ever since our office laptops “upgraded” they’ve made excellent space heaters during the winter. Open up Teams, a PowerPoint, and a YouTube video and you’ve got a nice toasty office!


I do wonder if the limit varies between personally operated transport (walking, bike, car) and public transport (bus, tram, train).
A 1 hour bus journey is much more relaxing than a 1 hour drive.


I’ve not read blindsight, now I feel I need to!
Thanks for the quote ^_^


We are such small and limited things that this is no great surprise. We do not wander through life blind, more we drift through life bereft of senses (and indeed, sense!).
The world we see is an echo of an illusion concocted by crude senses, and guided by a thought process that (while beautiful) is limited in what it can conceive.
Still, like a flower anchored to earth and at the mercy of all around it, we bloom and blossom to the delight of much around us - we play our part in the chaotic heartbeat of all around us.
So it’s not all cosmic apathy and horror, more blissful optimism with a hint of cosmic humour.
