Ah, I almost forgot it was officially called Max, they kept the brand 'HBO Max' here. During the rebrand they found out we already had a public broadcaster called 'Omroep MAX', which is often shortened to just MAX in the names of their programs. Trying to claim that name would probably have not gone well for HBO.

Impressive that it was implemented with just Lua and, from what I could see, without completely destroying the framerate.

Fuck it, I don't seem to have AD(H)D. That's why I've spent the better part of the day recharging so I could pretend to be social in the evening while on vacation with the in-laws and a 2-year old niece. I can't fucking filter her screams, the noise of having 7 adults around me and I'm so fucking glad of not having kids myself.

Ook getekend. Ik verwacht er niets van, maar in ieder geval is het een signaal dat niet iedere Nederlander achter dit 'beleid' staat.

Yeah, FO3 wasn't perfect, but at least it had its darker edges. Feel like a slaver? Sure, no problem, you can enslave random wastelanders and sell them for profit. Screw over BoS? Broken Steel let you do that, RIP Citadel. The Pitt gave an antagonist with a motive which turned out to be a bit more nuanced than it initially seemed. You could roleplay a fat-shaming, racist PoS if you wanted to, instead of presenting only safe options.

Meanwhile a Bethesda game like Fallout 3 had its fair share of flaws, but gave you plenty of opportunity to decide if you wanted to be the good guy or not. Blow up a town? Kill off all residents of Tenpenny Tower, or whack all the ghouls that want to take up residence? Why not all of them? You decide!

It also wasn't afraid of locking players out of quests if they behaved like an asshole. I liked that, why would somebody try to work with you after you just gave them the proverbial finger?

Far better than 'oh golly, you just told me that I'm not a nice person. Well, that's not very neighbourly of you, but I'll pay you my life-long savings if you hop over to the next hub and return my package that I conveniently know is collecting dust over there, but can't be bothered to fetch myself'.

Are you telling me we are filled with an industrial-strength solvent? 😱

Onscreen instructions unclear, pressed Shift+6+X. Still stuck in Nano.

A bit outdated, in the Netherlands small plastic drink bottles and aluminum cans are now also part of the deposit system.

The current implementation is terrible though, the collection machines are often a smelly sticky mess due to aluminum cans leaking their contents all over. 🤢

But I... am not sure how circumcision would prevent anyone from touching himself, so I am highly sceptical of that claim.

The idea was, if I'm not mistaken, that without foreskin sensitivity & pleasure decreases. So that way there is less 'risk' of boys engaging in sexual activities, other than for reproductive purposes.

From what I understand it's also still the standard in the US. Originally popularised because it would keep boys from fondling themselves which, of course, would make Sky Daddy angry.

But if that's not the case, I'd happily stand corrected by someone more knowledgeable on this topic.

But how is that relevant to your 'Fuck Microsoft' if he knowingly encrypted his device, which is how you make it sound?

I've enabled FDE on one of my Linux devices, I've already had to mount the filesystem in a rescue environment once because a failed update caused the system to be unable to boot. I would also have been hosed if I had lost the encryption key. Ok not really, because that's what backups are for, but you hopefully get the point.
