It feels like everything is running on a VM, and the hypervisor is running constantly. Or something odd like that.

Certified hood classic.

It’s amazing how bad Linux and Windows are at sleeping on my laptops. My steam deck has a power drain issue too, even when fully powered off.

Plus, they occasionally release pretty decent music

Nobody wants to do that. North Korea is a shithole-class country that hates SK, is propped up by China, and to a lesser extent, Russia, who basically use them as slave labor and cannon fodder for their illegal war in Ukraine.

While NATO could easily steamroll NK, SK is right there and would get heavily damaged in a war. And then SK would probably have to take care of a ton of starving, brainwashed, uneducated people and a bombed flat country. Nobody wants to fix them, and superpowers like China are actively working against peaceful initiatives like reunification.

It’s an injustice for the world, but there’s much bigger fish to fry on the world stage right now. Existential, extinction-class threats like climate change and nuclear war. Democracies fighting tooth and nail against totalitarianism, like Ukraine. And western countries in various fights against the predictable but extremely annoying rise in fascism.

For vocals, probably Constellations (Unplugged) by Dabu. This song can be found on less compressed platforms too, which I recommend

If we are talking in the magical sense, absolutely not, especially if it was proportional to crimes committed. Putin, Trump, XI, and Kim never would have made it to power, not to mention quite a few others.

I don’t really like it, but sometimes those types of cases are the only good ones with radiator clearance in a relatively small footprint.

I still miss this one, it was all metal and very close to an Apple G5 case, minus the compatibility issues.

Unfortunately, this case also couldn’t support radiators in any meaningful capacity, so I had to sell it. Currently using a Lian li case that I dislike, but it has damn good radiator support, and my PC is now completely silent.

My buddy started balding at 16. He held on for a number of years, but eventually we helped him rip the bandaid off and he shaved himself bald. Instantly looked younger again just because he didn’t have a ring of hair at 27 anymore. Honestly, it can look really cool if you shave it.

Universities are like little cities. I love all the different styles they have :)

It also shows the strength and resilience of an area. Places like that have weathered many booms and busts. It’s particularly interesting when one building has many styles, having been continuously occupied for hundreds of years. Or in some cases, even longer.

I want a conversation pit!

Transit (Bike/Bus/Rail) and Waze, sometimes Google maps just for more…global maps. (Eg, stuff like finding a campground on a map, or a certain bakery)

This seems like a really biased source, the domain is .ir, which is Iran.

I recommend sources that are not state-backed from a warring county.

I met some nice people, but had better luck just meeting people naturally in my 20s. I think the reason why dating apps didn’t work is that it’s kinda like job apps online, where there’s just waves of people, and everyone is just kinda putting their resume on their profile. Hard to stand out and meet “real” people among bots/hidden likes/ app design/bad matches.

Usually these companies make money by having users churn through loads of bad matches and then continually pay for premium.

I’d recommend joining a club IRL or volunteering, it might be a more organic fit. Friends -> dating can come naturally out of that.

This is a really good comparison :)

We have some here! Unfortunately, it’s the Soviet style, “cold” brutalist architecture that feels quite hostile. I like the “warm” aesthetic like the DC Metro with the light playing across the waffle ceiling, and the warm, brown hexagonal tile underfoot. This picture appears to be artificially brightened:

I might have to check it out, thanks!

I do love the happy vibes of that, and googie! Both are cheerful aesthetics :)

You can’t go wrong with brick!
