Twitch is 100% unwatchable if you aren't subscribed to a stream or have Twitch Turbo or whatever. Try to have some background noise and watch someone play a game to get interrupted every 5-10 minutes with 9 ads in a row.

Wild, it�s like living in an era of ever-decreasing quality of goods paired with ever-increasing prices isn�t skipping by video games :monocle:

Other than WoW expansions (because I�m a filthy addict), the only AAA games I�ve purchased at launch/full price in the last decade have been Diablo 3 and Battlefield V, both of which were strong reminders as to why I should never, ever do that again. Similar to my happily waiting for a movie to hit streaming, I�ll gladly wait until a game hits a Steam sale and/or the publisher has (maybe) made a small effort to make it a not-bug ridden piece of poo poo with actual content.

When I was in college there was a Polish guy who'd been there for 8 years. Rumor had it he was on some Polish academic scholarship that would pay him as long as it took. He was still there when I graduated.

Yeah, I had an 80-something year old Polish guy in my Russian class back in college 20 years ago who had been going there for almost 15 years or so (state universities are free in Kentucky if you're over 65). I was one of the earlier students to get to class so we'd chat; he already knew Russian (since his dad was Russian?) and he spent the war in a concentration camp because the part of Poland he was living in was invaded by the Red Army and they were conscripting fighting age men, so he ran west.

That electric Hummer is the best indicator that no change is possible to car culture and the whole thing needs to be torn down. The public is desperate for cheaper more efficient transportation, and you can take the E Hummer as GM's final response to that. People's memories are so short they forgot Hummer nearly disappeared around 2010 because we decided collectively that they were vehicles by jerkoffs, for jerkoffs. Remember huge Hummer dealerships with obstacles you could drive over, and two years later they were all had KIA or Hyundai signs? Just wait 10-15 years and you can just do it all over again because we are so loving stupid.

Yeah, my boss and I were having a good laugh about the Hummer EV the other week. I had no idea it existed, only to find out it weighs 4.5 tons (and the battery alone is 1.5 tons of that). loving absolute insanity that it's permitted to be built, but hey, America is a country built by morons for morons.

I mean, part of the rise in disability payments is the economy getting shittier and people finding ways to get themselves on disability because it's the only variant of welfare that doesn't eventually end and tell you get a job or be destitute. That's been a trend since long before covid appeared.

I'm sure covid has also added more disabled people too, though.

A brewery/brewpub is insane profitability with markups; there's no distribution middleman in between them and a store/restaurant, so it's just right in their pockets. I used to work at one of the biggest craft breweries in the country and we'd charge $5 for a pint (pre-COVID, I think it's $7 now) and the cost of that versus how little it costs to make 16oz of beer is ludicrous. Assuming your beer isn't lovely and you aren't a raging alcoholic who gives it away, you'd have to be a goddamned idiot to fail in that industry.
