I’m high so I read a little too much into it

If you become nonconformist in any way, suddenly the bald eagle (US) kills you

fuck dude how much water do I have to drink for my mouth to stay wet

Fortunately, I don’t think there’s a fraction of that specific kind of tension.

My guess is 40-50 years from now, people will probably just call it Gqeberha or some other more catchy nickname.

Come to think of it, I don’t hear about it as often as I probably should.

Government officials, the news and people in other professional contexts call it Gqeberha, frequently struggling with the click sound, even when a “k” sound will suffice.

Otherwise, I still hear people call it “P.E.”

“Port Elizabeth” was still kind of a mouthful

People I meet from the Eastern Cape just say they’re from “the Eastern Cape”, because unfortunately most people don’t know where Nxuba or Makhanda is.

Hell, a lot of people think Gqeberha/P.E. is the capital city of the Eastern Cape. (Bhisho is the capital)

Seeing Cape Town Stadium get renamed to DHL Stadium pissed me off so hard

This might sound silly, but going to that stadium, I felt an indescribable sense of community with everyone who showed up to support whatever artist/band/sports team was there . So many people, with a shared interest, in one place.

Since I live further out of Cape Town, I rarely get to experience that.

That piss yellow logo DHL logo everywhere ruined the experience so fucking much.

KINDLY REMEMBER YOUR GLOBAL CORPORATE OVERLORDS WHO ARE NOT SORRY FOR KEEPING TICKET PRICES HIGHER THAN THEY NEED TO BE. ALSO, FUCK YOU. REMEMBER TO GAMBLE.

Never install a camera in a bathroom

Like, you don’t install anthrax in a maternity ward

The Economist has a tendency to put out articles seemingly designed to make conservatives bust nuts through their trousers at mach 4

Is Lucifer’s Poison Ivy destroying the fabric of civilization as we know it?

Also, doesn’t this shit just waste like a fuckton of taxpayer money?

imagine if by dumb luck, since the re-releases are so violently frequent, both games converge into a state where the mods are compatible with each other

Or the games just straight up bleed into one another

Preston Garvey shows up at the throat of the world to mark another settlement on your map

Feral ghouls no longer groan but instead start talking about their cousins taking arrows in the sweetroll

I see no lack of Hitlers, unfortunately

Call me cheap

homie that game is $70

You’re not cheap, you’re literally trying not to get robbed

You can buy a few dozen really good indie games for a fraction of that price

That urge to buy and play it ASAP is marketing doing its job.

Easier said than done, but if you really hate EA, your only choice is to eat the FOMO.

Otherwise, you’re feeding the beast.

Disclaimer: I’m high

i take this to mean “shit on the fingerprint scanner”

Thank you!

That’s exactly what I wanted.

bro this is legit difficult

“the pre-owned volvo of [email protected]” is not as catchy as “The Ship of Theseus”

I burned a few CDs and put one of them in my car’s CD player

It worked but I got hit with “tray error” when I tried ejecting it.

It’s been stuck in there since april

Web3 was about enabling us to securely transfer value between people digitally and without middlemen.

It’s ironic that the middlemen showed up anyway and busted all the security of those transfers

You want some bipcoin to buy weed drugs on the slip road? Don’t bother figuring out how to set up that wallet shit, come to our nifty token exchange where you can buy and sell all kinds of bipcoins

At least, that’s my recollection of events. I was getting my illegal narcotics the old fashioned way.

Does anti-cheat even work?

kernel or no

sorry you’re illegally trespassing on corporate property

My networking knowledge may be out of date, but can’t you get around region locked sites with VPNs or Tor?

I was in Turkey in July 2019. Wikipedia was blocked. I had to use Tor to access it. On installation I think I had to tick a special box that said something like “use flux capacitor bridge for blablabla countries like China and Turkey”

Though In that case, Wikipedia didn’t give a fuck if you were accessing it from Tor. The government did.

I know some sites block tor/VPN access for various reasons
