The lack of empathy I see here disappoints me. Comments like these are similar to Europeans telling Americans to throw their lives away and rebel against their government, or "just emmigrate" like it's really as easy as hopping on a plane.

These Russians could have been conscripted, they might've enlisted to feed their starving families, or they might fully support the war effort because they're young and brainwashed by state propaganda. They're all victims of this shitty war in their own way.

War sucks. There are zero winners. I'm not at all sympathetic to Russia's cause and wish they'd leave Ukraine alone, so I understand the desire to hate Russians and to cheer at the death of every Russian soldier. I just wish people practiced nuance here and didn't give into the hate so much.

Reading this literally made me feel a little queasy.

Awfully reminiscent of the trouble the NASDAP had trying to draw the line between Jews and non-Jews. It made them look like fucking idiots, and I hope to hell history treats the GOP the same way.

That's what we said about COVID and absolutely nothing improved fundamentally.

I'm more disappointed that this is "news" than anything else

Yep, that's why birdshot is basically the only safe ammo that can be shot into the air unless you're in the middle of the ocean or something.

I transferred to a new college and learned the first week of class that they required a few vaccinations I was missing. No problem, the on campus health center can provide them. I confirm with them that they accept my insurance, so I go get the shots.

A few months later, I get a bill in the mail for over $3000. Apparently the health center wasn't in-network, so I have no idea what they meant by "we accept your insurance." I layer learned that if I had driven 10 minutes west across the state border, there was an in-network office where those two vaccinations would've been completely covered.

I still haven't paid a penny towards that bill, fuck them. I get daily phone calls from an unknown number, it's probably collections, but I don't know for sure since I never answer it. This was years ago and my credit score never took a hit. I'd rather die than reward these parasites with my money.

I'm pretty sure I have a tumor growing on my hip too. I'd get it checked, but between student loans, insane cost of living, and rising costs of literally everything else, I can't afford to right now. I'm a childless engineer with "great" health insurance and a roommate, so I'm relatively well off. I have no idea why shit hasn't boiled over yet. Makes me want to depose some CEOs too.

Are you talking about the student loans he wrote off for a small subset of people who needed it?

I'm happy for those who got it, but that's hardly enough progress on this issue for me to give our government praise for it. Nearly all of us in the working class were still better off four years ago than we are now. Biden jacked up interest rates to address "inflation," which increased my mortgage by around $700 a month. That's more than what I pay in student loans, and that's just one example.

Things seems to just get worse slower when dems are in office, not better. IAnd I'm entirely fed up with it.

They're referring to the white buildup that happens from the aluminum in antiperspirant. Deodorant without aluminum (and therefore not an antiperspirant) won't give this buildup.

Right, BattleEye is hit or miss depending on the game developer.

Another significant drawback I have is OBS compatibility. It technically works, but just having it open drops my framerate by ~30%, and having it record drops it by ~50%. I haven't found a fix for it yet, so I'm effectively unable to stream or record gameplay on Linux. The same settings used in Windows hardly impacts my framerate.

I'll continue using Linux, but I haven't deleted my Windows partition yet.

Seriously, from the bottom of my heart, fuck you Apple. Eat shit and die.

So like half a tic tac and a stick of bubblegum. Got it
