If only I could relive the wonders of beta 1.5 from fresh

Don't get me wrong I think the evolution of minecraft is cool and one of my favorite mod packs was sevtech, which was around 2017, but beta 1.5 hits different when kid me was just spamming random mats into the crafting table to see if it built anything

I only played payday 2 casually because all I would play is hoxton breakout LOL

I was invested enough though to make my own skin mod (pre lootbox) and it was kinda popular

150k for a family is not that much in california, especially if its two people working for a combined 150k.

I don't have a pic but the lightrail in seattle also has advertisements from mullvad, which is kinda unexpected.

From 2016 to 2022, 80 percent of global carbon dioxide emissions were produced by just 57 companies.

Emitted 3.2% of total greenhouse gas emissions when refrigerants are included.

A/C is a negligible amount of the problem and in these type of weather is a necessity, lest vulnerable people like seniors die from heat stroke. You could 10x AC usage and it still wouldn't even match what corpos emit. We have way bigger issues than more AC use.

Sometimes I answer, mute myself, and don't reply at all just to make them waste time

Forgot to mention but my school advertised permanent access to our school email, which back then meant free student benefits like the education unlimited storage. I technically still do have access, but it's a lot less useful nowadays

Google just went back on that education unlimited thing because they realized it was not sustainable, so my school had to enforce it somehow

Reminds me of when I had about 3 or 4 TB in my schools storage because hey free benefit

They removed the education free unlimited storage during my senior year and blocked access to my supposedly permanent school email because I didn't reduce my storage usage lol

Oh hey I used to live near Sawtelle. Honestly the city department there is fucking terrible.

I parked there once using street parking when I was first looking for apartments and I got ticketed for being in a no parking zone when there wasn't a sign or a red line saying no parking.

Went to the city's office and despite photo evidence we still got denied an appeal.

Tankie is a term used derogatory that essentially refers to people who are self proclaimed communists that support the CCP and other authoritarian governments that label themselves as communist. I'm decently sure the term is a reference to the Tiananmen Square.

The tankie triad is a reference to the 3 biggest instances for them: lemmy.ml, lemmygrad.ml, and hexbear.net

Now in all honesty I have only seen a handful of bad faith actors. Usually it's because:

  1. They are extremely critical of the US and in extension Israel, which is completely valid because right now the US is a shithole
  2. They are extremely defensive of any communist parties. They deny any wrongdoings of the CCP as western propaganda, take the side of Russia over Ukraine, CCP over Taiwan and HK, etc.

To me it's hypocritical to be against the current authoritarian and fascist US, but also be supportive of the authoritarian CCP and Russia. It's ok to recognize some actions that the CCP has done as an objectively good thing (like modernization of public transport), but they also deny the fact that the CCP has done atrocious acts and essentially bully the neighbors (aka the rest of Asia).

For reference I have no issues with the idea of socialism or even communism, but the CCP is far from those ideals.

Tbh if you return the book the library will usually just waive the late fee because they really just want their book back and nothing more

You should probably reread the articles if you still think it's an actual necklace and not a weighted exercise tool.

I'm not gonna continue with this since you think trusting a professional is equivalent to trusting a stoplight
