i’m not sure what you mean by this, and it sounds quite worrying

yes i’m sure the average golden retriever is just absolutely depressed by this moral quandry

why i’ll use the fucking godot engine if i ever have to make a graphical program, and otherwise will merrily stick to scripting in python which literally requires no boilerplate at all.

Even if you just want a simple qt/gtk/windows program it takes so much more faff compared to scripting, meanwhile with godot it’s specifically geared to let you easily make graphical programs that run anywhere! Yeah it’s a game engine but fuck it, it works.

i never don’t have those thoughts, which is why my keys are on a lanyard and i think popsockets are mandatory for phones, i got an iron grip on that motherfucker

this isn’t really a coherent question, mods don’t work any specific way on any OS, it all depends on the game you’re talking about.

american traffic design is almost explicitly hostile towards literally everyone except the rich people who profit from it, nothing about it is in any way beneficial to any user of the infrastructure, in any way whatsoever.
It sounds like hyperbole but seriously, it’s INSANE to have massive highways with traffic at a standstill, there’s no fucking excuse for it.

I like to say that the nordics historically is what it looks like when you truly build car-centric infrastructure: We recognize that a lot of people cannot and should not drive, and that cars on roads fundamentally can only support a certain amount of people; thus we spend just enough money on non-car infrastructure that the roads don’t get clogged and that people who can’t or shouldn’t drive can baseline get by.
Then when we build the actually interesting car infrastructure we do a magical thing called “thinking about the design”, so generally every feature of a road, including where it’s placed and how it connects to other roads, has a reason for being designed that way. This means we’re not pissing away money on objectively useless or even actively detrimental infrastructure, and can instead spend it on making it easier to drive.

it’s possible to make perfectly nice underpasses instead, so long as the geography allows for it. And conveniently areas that are unfriendly to pedestrians almost always have lots of room to spare.

android is a box were the lid only closes halfway on its own, and it took them until now to care enough to close the lid

i’m pretty sure it’s explictly legal, lol

what kind of fish is it and where is it caught? Because these days overfishing is an enormous issue and you really really really want to make sure to only buy sustainable fish, lest we completely destroy the populations.

i’m a lot more okay with the blanket recommendation of beans, because it’s almost certainly the cheapest meat “substitute” and makes very good stew.
Home-made seitan is presumably the cheapest option basically no matter where you are, but that also takes a lot of work…

Fuck it, take maintenance into your own hand and snap the offending branches off. It takes 10 seconds so even if someone sees you do it and cares about it, they won’t have time to react before you bike away.

freedos, obviously

there’s something weirdly empowering about touching people’s cars. I’ve straight up slapped the rear end of cars that passed in front of me while i was using a pedestrian crossing, and it’s like getting to slap them in the face but without it being assault, or even hurting anything other than my hand.

People feel so utterly safe and isolated in cars that having someone on the outside affect you directly is incredibly jarring and punctures the sense of invulnerability

“hello bob. In front of you is a new employee who is going to operate dangerous machinery while following all protocols and keeping themselves safe. You have to get through the entire shift without telling him he’s a sissy for wearing ear protection, or you will be fired.”

but the bus driver is, you know, the person driving the bus; and thus the person who can think “hey there’s a person cycling on the road ahead, let’s slow down and get as far away from them as i can while passing, because i don’t want to make them shit themselves in fright”

I feel like the party becomes more “moderate” at the higher levels (as in they have no actual opinions, they just want power) whereas at the lower levels (i.e. municipal) people have a much broader range of opinions; with some being severely misguided, some just being terminally conservative (but not actual nazis), and a lot just literally being nazis who just barely manage to avoid reflexively heiling each other on the street.

I just want to note that you should make sure to verify that rice is actually cheap where you live, before going with it.
This post seems aimed quite specifically at american audiences (without actually stating such), but up here in the frozen wasteland of scandinavia rice is actually not that cheap at all, quite expensive even unless you go with literally the absolute cheapest brands available.

If you live in europe i’d wager potatoes are the actual ideal cheap carb, especially during harvest time when the market is flooded with such an absurd amount of potatoes that the price tanks and might even literally reach 0. Another option to look at is as you say, barley or other whole grains.

Frozen peas are also a nice alternative to beans (though obviously less appealing as the main protein), which can simply be tossed into the food while warm or a bowl of them can be put in a microwave oven at full blast for a minute to get fully thawed.

it should also be noted that you need fibre for healthy digestion, so you really should just power through the flatulence as much as you can. Avoiding fibre because it makes you gassy is like avoiding water because you don’t like getting wet lips.

Taco seasoning goes great in most things, just maybe a bit less of it so you don’t immediately associate it with tacos.
