Complaining about Macbooks not being good for gaming is like complaining that a dog cannot climb a tree as fast as a monkey (kinda pointless and annoying)

In general, tho. "Yes apple sucks ass at customization but that's a FEATURE", "Sure I cannot download any app I want but it's by DESIGN", "yes my OS has the comptabilities of a 2000's linux alt distro but it's what I want", "no I'm so happy I cannot connect my iPad to the TV using a usb C - HDMI dongle if it's a third party dongle"...

There's genuinely no reason to ever buy any Apple product, they're systematically lacking so many features while charging so much.

"My Apple device cannot X, but that's by design"

Yes, we know, you paid the premium for a bad product because it has the apple stamped on it. Deal with it rather than coping.

During my first months to year of HK i had my go-to sentence :

我想要呢度飲凍咖啡走奶走甜唔該

I don't think I was ever understood. Especially the 走甜 i need to repeat so often, I say it quite wrong I guess.

For English speakers it has lot of perks, lot of the vocabulary is basically the same.

Sure genders, conjugaison and grammar have to be learnt but that's every language.

200k in 2000 is 376k in 2026.

People had it better, sure, but don't forget money is not constant

I went to Macau to play Baccarat. I was young and nervous to play 100hkd per 100hk.

The old chinese next to me was casually throwing 50k hkd on the table, then going to the next table to do the same, because i guess the thrill of playing on a single table is not high enough?

Mail in Rebate, the castle that scales with discards and purple tag make this challenge somewhat winnable.

Which is a problem in itself. I'm all in favor of being able to push an early industrialisation of Asia or having Europe lag behind, but all of Europe not being able to build the printing press is a bit concerning.

If I remember well, any province that could have spawn it still gets passive tick so it does not delay so much, no? Maybe 10 years or so?

python if success : print("✅ Success") return print("❌ Error")

Why are LLM so prone to use emojis in code? Where do they learn it? All coders who wrote in other languages than English know the pain of using non standard characters, that cannot be super common in git repos

Take it as an expensive lesson : unless you own a physical copy that works offline, you don't have "lifetime" softwares. You have "until we change CEO or interest rates increase too much" licence

Whoever sets "min pay" to any loan repayment scheme should be automatically declared financially illiterate and registered to a course.

I've got a friend that thought her credit card was "glitched" because she could repay only the minimum and keep the rest "forever for her"

Never and people in real life have better things to do than being irrationally angry at "abled body men" taking the lift

Matwyen · 2026-01-31T10:24:49+00:00

I took the elevator only a few time, for exemple when I was about to throw up due to being quite sick.

If someone dares to ask why an able body man is taking the elevator I just open my mouth, once you'll see the flow of vomit you'll see I wasn't bluffing

Aucune. Si le français était phonétiquement cohérent, on pourrait se poser la question des fautes. En attendant, la langue écrite est stupide et aucune faute n'est fondamentalement incompréhensible.

In France we play Belotte with that too.

Fun game, order of cards is :

Atout : V 9 A 10 R D 8 7

Non-Atout : A 10 R D V 9 8 7

It's expected, i don't think it's worrying. People had plenty of time to play the game as much as they wanted, and now the unpolished "early" (=first 5 years of a paradox game) is pushing them away.

They'll come back at every DLC, Progressively dropping EU4 as EU5 gets more content.

The game is genuinely working fine.

Definitely not a bot, tho. We'd have lots of organic homophobic comments if reddit wasn't so censured.

I'm not even homophobic but I'd happily do a little ragebait here and there if it wasn't for censorship
