It runs like shit today. Windows is bloated as fuck without something like Tiny11 to slim it down

Stop subsidizing corn. A crazy amount of US crops just get turned into animal feed or ethanol.

I just don’t use services that don’t work with Firefox. Easy.

Sounds like a job for flex tape! /s

3 million abandoned wells is wild. I had assumed that most of the methane pollution in the US was from industry or cattle.

Then they would all drive diesel trucks with modified exhaust and floor it between stop signs

DEI isn’t just a dog whistle for racism, it’s also sexism.

Yeah, the lack of emotions is definitely a defence mechanism against the traumatic memories. It’s nice that they’re exploring this topic

There’s also “air fry”, which is just an aggressive convection oven

I didn’t like Season 1 as much, I think because the story was scattered around introducing so many characters. I also agree that ecchi is a turn-off for me, but I liked the concept, characters, and production value enough to stick with it.

I think the strength of the 3rd season onwards is that it relies more on the established cast, rather than introducing a ton of new characters all the time.

So, can I pick this up and just start watching? Or is there another series I should watch before this?

I disagree. I had to stick with it through Season 1 and 2, but I got hooked and ended up binging Seasons 3 and 4.

Dungeon People and Parry Everything look like they’ll be pretty good, but otherwise, I agree

This episode is a serious tearjerker! Great conclusion for the series, I’m glad we get to see adult Kumiko continuing the legacy

It’s not the moral code that’s the issue, it’s that people with ADHD tend to act impulsively on things they view as unjust, like you’re temporarily blinded to the consequences of your actions.

Medication can help a lot with making a more measured response, or deciding that’s it’s not worth it to pursue any further.

I’m more familiar with the automotive sector, but this is pretty huge. The Clean Air Act only said that the EPA should limit emissions. The standardized drive cycles and testing procedure were all determined by the EPA themselves. What happens now if an automaker challenges these procedures? The EPA loses authority to create the test procedures, and the automakers can just give them numbers and say “trust us”

I can’t imagine that Congress could competently create laws for vehicle test procedures themselves. I imagine we’ll just default to California testing requirements for a lot of cars, but I don’t imagine it’s going to play out well as a whole

I’m not having children to compete with other people. I don’t want to be responsible for bringing a life into this world only to suffer as crops fail and wars for resources rage.

In America, school teachers are paid shit wages, and guns are everywhere. Quality of life is decreasing as wages stagnate, the rich get richer, and democracy slowly turns into fascism. The oceans are getting hot enough to kill the fish, and they keep getting hotter. Microplastics are literally everywhere, and we’re still learning how bad that is.

We’ve already passed the Paris Climate Accord global warming limit, and the yearly global greenhouse gas emissions are still increasing to record levels. 1.5C of warming was supposed to be the doomsday limit, but now they say 2C isn’t that bad? The moving target for the global warming limit is a joke, and the poor and impoverished are the punchline.

Sure, I get the urge to have children, but I’ve already gone through the 7 stages of grief myself about it.

I can afford kids, but fuck making them live through this climate collapse we’ve created. I’ll adopt if I really want a kid.

So MC said he’s a samurai, which is supposedly a rare class. Why is the other samurai not surprised that MC knows nothing about samurai clans? They literally jump into an explanation as if it’s completely natural that MC knows nothing about the world at all.

Absolute lazy shit

An episode that isn’t just meetings! We’ve been blessed!

I’m actually scared to dual boot. I’ve heard too many stories of Windows updates messing up the bootloader
