Everything by LeGuin is fantastic. The Dispossessed, The Left Hand of Darkness, The Fisherman of the Inland Sea. So many beautiful worlds and stories.

I wish more games came with couch co-op. It was a lot of fun in Halo and Diablo.

It is. But it's also the basis for the political compass, and is taught in polsci all over the world

Look up The Minerva model

Mandated is the wrong word. "Required for absolutely everything" is more precise. In Denmark you need an app called "MitID" to do any kind of digital verification. You can't do online purchases, banking or digital bureaucracy without it.

I hope I live to see the death of private banking. It's insane how much of the fuckery in the world that originates in banking.

I would love to make the switch, but I am certain that absolutely zero of my government mandated apps will run on this thing.

I actually teach teenagers programming and 3D modelling. The past 5 years has been the first decline in tech literacy I've ever experienced between generations. My personal theory is that only the gamers actually have computers at home now. Everyone else only use their smartphones, and that only gives a negligible increase in tech literacy compared to using a computer.

Angry and nihilistic teenagers used to have tech skills and laptops. Now they have iPads and TikTok.

While we're at it, give Kurdistan back to the Kurds as well

Definitely making tortillas tonight, thanks for the inspiration

Wait, did the vinyl of time skip and send us back to '68?

A lot of glass bottles aren't melted down, but simply washed and reused.

It's better than the system in Sweden. You can get an optional loan on top of the base benefit (with a very cheap interest rate) of up to $520 every month.

I rarely enjoy schadenfreude, but I will savor every moment of the fall of Mr. Beast, the cancer of YouTube.

Satire requires intelligence

I can't wait for the bubble to burst, so we can finally get affordable GPU's again

Or the fact that we actually pay people to study (~1000 USD a month), instead of putting them into crippling lifelong debt.
