Did Poland really not learn its lesson in WW2? Why are they still gravitating heavily (vs other countries) towards fascist leaders? Is there a culture thing going on that I never learned? Is there some socio-economic reason that smarter polish people are leaving Poland or dumber people are going to Poland or maybe not able to leave to better conditions?
This needs studying if we don’t have answers.
Need For Speed for being anti authority? Honestly, I have been missing a new NFS game. The last one came out in 2022, and the longest wait between them since 1994 was 3 years… Definitely didn’t play them all, but the last two, Heat and Unbound, were surprisingly good.
Finally swapped to Linux last week and loving it! Kubuntu because I wanted KDE for KZones since I was using FancyZones from PowerToys on Windows. The hardest part was migrating my qBitTorrent, Sonarr/Radarr/Plex because they all point to windows drives. A simple replace in the DB file fixed it, and we’re running smoothly!
Gonna get an auto encode/upload working this weekend, and I’m so excited. I don’t feel held back like windows, and it doesn’t feel like work configuring it, which I was afraid of.
A few hiccups here and there, but I think of it like growing pains that will eventually go away.
I would love DST permanent, but I understand that it’s not great mentally for school kids to get up and go to school in the dark. I would sacrifice that for the next generation to have a better experience.
But really we should start school later.
Kairi from Kingdom Hearts! She had a massive glow up between KH1 and KH2.
The Seattle zoo also rejected federal funding with these strings. My wife lost her job because of it. Because it was just for one program and the no-DEI was organization wide…
Apparently the Portland Zoo signed it… No one expected that shit. We both let her parents know that this is because of their vote in another state.
Not yet! I think she thinks I’m already enough to handle 😂
Tech jobs in Seattle go crazy! We make ends meet since we all have some kinda job. Not too crazy since we’re still renting. But eventually we want to be permanent in. Seattle!
Being polyam in Seattle is great. All of my coworkers know I’m poly and just accept it. All the bartenders know too. Makes it easy for them to start the tab.
I’m a James! The third to be precise. My gramps went by Jack, and my dad by James, so I had to go by Jimmy. I still own it to this day. Other fun nicknames I’m occasionally called are Jimbo, Jymbo, Jambers, Jimboree, Jimbob, JimJam, Jombers, Jimothy, and Jammy. It’s fun having a nickname as the name I go by! Nowhere on my documents does it say “Jimmy” but that’s what everyone calls me.
I’m an outlier because I live in a walkable neighborhood in a city. But I have 10 breweries within walking distance around my house. I know the owners by name for 2 of these breweries and the bartenders know me for 4 of them. I think they all know my dog.
I usually go with my wife and/or girlfriend about 2-4 days a week, but it’s still very much a hang out.
We’re also Friday regulars to a semi-close bar every Friday because I won a free beer/week for a year in a $25 raffle!
I’m lucky enough that when my company started enforcing 5 days a week, they don’t enforce hours. I usually wake up for my first meeting then shower/get ready after, then commute. They give me free public transit, so I take the bus every time too. Plus I can bring my dog in, and I get a free nice coffee (lattes, tea, matcha, etc). Then I’ll leave the office about 3/4pm and WFH if needed.
I’m lucky enough o be able to take the bus to work, plus they give me a free transit card.
As much as the US is fucked and how much we hear about how it’s fucked, it feels a little bittersweet to see other developed countries’ governments fucking up just as bad. The fact that you can’t protest about Palestine is asinine.
If the dogs don’t eat any food, they all have the same food in the bowl (assuming they don’t drop any). So by that logic, they all have the most food. So the first to arrive wins.
The outcome is very clear to anyone who has ever played games before, you’re just being very pedantic for pedantic sake.
You can buy nitrous ANYWHERE, so I wouldn’t blame TikTok for that.
I’m not in the Andromeda galaxy! I can tell that galaxy from this cropped picture any day!
You don’t need a VPN if you have a good enough private tracker.
Exactly what I was thinking. I have tons of pics of my friend group, and I love posting photos of us on our slightly larger online friend group. This guy needs the attention so much that instead of just do this have a fun bar night with friends, he would rather just make his own pretend photo. It’s not even fantasy like role playing (which is more like group story telling).
The NSFW edit of this is really cute. She’s still wearing the hat.
