Can we please reclaim FOSS from these nerds?

FWIW, as someone with zero initiative, I really admire your courage in trying. Hang in there bud, you've got the ball rolling now!

I still don't understand the hype around F-16s. It's an ancient platform and it's not like Ukraine can maintain any form of air superiority long enough to deploy smart bombs...

India, imo, is a loose collection of peoples with the single uniting factor being anti-colonial solidarity, a sentiment that looks to be fading fast. The faultlines in this artificially concocted polity are plenty, and what they're witnessing now can be interpreted as the Hindutva movement conjuring a national myth that solidifies the Hindu position (specifically the Vedic flavor) as the numerical majority and asserting their sole right to the land.

IMO the last time capitalism got something right the Netherlands was still called Orange

The average Mace & Dagger enjoyer can put a knight to sleep in no time

Fuck, Samurai Cop is bleeding into reality

Also, what level of cognitive dissonance is Starmer on that he can lead the “labour” party and still read The Sun?

I suppose the 1979 incursion would be fresh in the memory of the Vietnamese political apparatus; more so than other alleged historical transgressions.

Indiana Jones will probably never see a better game adaptation than Uncharted, it seems

That is one part of the equation, sure. Buy It For Life should be a cornerstone of transition economies, at least. However, I feel like future policymakers will have to be more radical and find ways to shelve commodification as a mindset altogether. This includes the concept of "shopping" as a leisure activity, but also other things such as consuming entertainment at the volumes we do today, and reduction in the role of consumption in courtships. I'm not even sure if such a shift is possible, and would possibly cause widespread resentment if it were to be implemented at scale.

I have a feeling that it would be more along the lines of the patron-client model that propped up the creative economy of Renaissance-era Italian city states. The key difference being that, with basic needs met, you'll no longer have to bear the last name Medici to have the resources needed to become a patron.

On the other hand, I also think that, in light of the climate crisis, we may have to significantly scale back the commodity economy. One way I envision this playing out is a reservation system for raw material on a community basis that would enable a grassroots patron-client and gifting ecosystem.

[pls note I have no sources to back these theories up. They're a hodge-podge of stuff I've come across over the years]

Thatcher’s grave is thirsty

Haha, it's so much more limited than MSFS, but, bless it's heart, it tries

I really enjoyed MS Train simulator back in the day, but it is old. I don't even know if it'll run on modern systems

I think a laxative may be in order

What kinda training is he upto that he can't even lose the baby fat on his face

I've been vegetarian all my life and I still find it extremely hard to give up dairy (due to economical, logistical, but, most importantly, palatability reasons). I can't imagine how difficult it must be for folks who've grown up on a meat-heavy diet.
