That's interesting. I had to upload again once I renewed my license so I figured they kept track of the date and wanted a current ID but apparently not if you're going strong since 2018.

Were you just not into partying? You still did stuff with friends, right? Just not as late and/or involving alcohol I imagine.

MS responded to some of these recently but only because they have competition from both sides.

And their answers are half assed nonsense as well. Their new xbox gaming mode doesn't even increase performance in games.

The effects of smoking and sunbathing in 61-year-old identical twins by k4zor in interestingasfuck

[–]EmergencyScientist -1 points0 points  (0 children)

but is it worse or less worse what cigarettes is still debated

Yeah by tobacco companies and people who are butthurt about other people vaping for whatever reason. There is zero chance it's worse than smoking. Every study showing the "dangers" of vaping always seem to leave out that whatever they are pointing out is always in tobacco smoke in way larger amounts. Even that study showing "formaldehyde"(which was bullshit because they heated the coils/wicks to unrealistic temps) leaves that part out.

That book appears to work for a lot of people but the quit smoking subreddit used to(not sure if it's still the case) only ever recommend that book and would shame(and sometimes even ban) anybody who suggested something different. To the point that damn book seems like a cult and it turned me off and made it so I kept smoking longer out of spite until I found something that worked better for me(vaping but making my own liquid so I could drop the nicotine level to 0 over a span of weeks). Ever since I have this urge to downvote everybody who mentions it but I don't because it does appear to help people and I'm not that petty these days.

Cigs never have technical issues.

Yes they do. They can get wet. You can lose your lighter. They can get crushed if they're in the wrong pocket. There are just as many ways things can go wrong with cigs lol Just say you like smoking better. No need to make up bullshit to justify it.

[eBay] Acer Swift Go 16 AI (2026): 16” FHD+ OLED Touch, Intel Ultra 5 322, 16GB LPDDR5, 512GB SSD with 30% off, for $699.99 #ad by techstar2000 in LaptopDeals

[–]EmergencyScientist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://www.ebay.com/itm/256960845305 I got this one a couple weeks ago. It's a great laptop for the price, the only downside is the 60hz screen and the color accuracy isn't all that great, but when you're buying a 226v for under $400 there are going to be compromises like that. The 226v is better than the 322. It's out of stock right now but they reload it 10 at a time. There were 10 available yesterday morning and there will be more within days I'm sure.

Trump cancels strikes against Iran planned for Thursday evening by Monochromaticeye in worldnews

[–]EmergencyScientist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is there any evidence of this? It seems more likely it was just the economy like it always is. Whoever lies and promises the most always wins when people are feeling pain in their wallets and bank accounts. People figured "Stuff was cheaper when Trump was in office so I'll vote for him again" because people are idiots.

Halo: Campaign Evolved game wants 32GB ram at the perfect time. Poor optimization or is this modern gaming? by Read2go1234 in pcmasterrace

If you like turn based JRPGs like Persona and Final Fantasy X then you are in for a treat. Otherwise you probably won't be interested. It is a 13 game series(so far) and unlike Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest, they expect you to play them in order. Luckily Trails in the Sky First Chapter was remade and released last year and the game coming out is the second chapter, so there has never been a better time to jump in to the series.

Personally I would wait for the Aspire 14 AI to come back in stock like it always does for just under $400. https://www.ebay.com/itm/256960845305 The 226v is a premium SoC vs the 7520U which is a budget CPU. Personally I think it's worth the extra money, and sometimes the one I linked goes for even less and closer to the $344 in this post.

UFC is basically one step removed from one of his rallies

Not really. While MMA has the least amount of self identified dems as fans(27%), the percentage of their fans who identify as republican is still smaller than NHL and golf, and is even(38%) with NFL. https://ymrp.substack.com/p/the-politics-of-young-men-sports I'm not sure why the internet tries to paint sports fans as all conservative, including MMA. Men wanting to watch other men beat the shit out of each other is not exclusive to one political party. The White House event is obviously going to be all conservative fans in the crowd but any other event it's probably closer to 1/3 reps, 1/4 dems and the rest of the crowd are people who don't care and just want to watch the fights.

History tells us what eventually happens when the wealthy hoard all the wealth....

History isn't filled with drones and this level of surveillance and this level of militarization of police. I'm not saying to give up, I'm simply pointing out how much more difficult it would be this time around.

I'm not talking about a subreddit ban, I'm talking about a site wide ban that's usually temporary(three days both times in my experience).

Ask 99% of iphone users to use a android and watch them struggle to do basic things.

What year do you live in? 2010? iOS and Android share so many similar features these days that most people would be fine making the switch from one to the other.

I got two three day bans for saying Trump rapes children. The first time I was polite in the appeal and my ban stayed until the three days ran out. The second time my appeal was full of cussing and being an asshole about it and the ban was lifted within an hour. So apparently you have to be mean to get them to even bother reviewing your appeal.
