It is indeed curious that a place called “no stupid questions” is rampant with US defaultism.

Don’t be so harsh on yourself. You are most definitely not as stupid as US Republicans.

And it most definitely is a Republican value. That is the result of tax cuts, you get worse public services.

The amount of people that seem to think their little bit of homecooking can compete with professional chef’s is laughable.

It definitely can, and you are showing your inexperience with cooking by making this argument. Cooks are people who are professionally trained in cooking, but you know what, most processes involved in cooking are the same whether you are a professional or not, so amateurs are perfectly capable of achieving the same level of perfection as cooks for a whole range of basic elements of cooking.

You seem to be unable to imagine that people can have opinions that differ from your own. You seem to have the need to have even the most basic concepts explained to you. even though lots of people have already done so numerous times in this thread alone.

It depends on the type of person you are. There are better things to relieve stress for you. For others cooking can be very effective at that.

We are all different, try to imagine that. No really, you should be aware of that.

Do you if that it what you feel. But personally your mindset seems extremely exhausting to me, especially your work addiction.

But again, you are free to do whatever suits you best.

Cooking rules. It can be an excellent anti-stress ritual as well.

It wasn’t. A lot of the copy protection was the game asking for the word on a particular page and line in the manual. When you pirated the game (which was easy, since it was literally just copying the disk to another disk), you photocopied the manual as well. Or rather photocopied the photocopy of the manual, I didn’t see a lot of original games for the PC and Commodore 64 back in the 80s, but I sure had hundreds if not thousands of games.

I guess the colour thing was probably a method of circumventing the photocopier, because colour photocopiers were not really generally available back then.

You should perhaps read up on how general strikes function before taking the time to write out that word salad. You are not inventing the wheel here, it has already been invented long ago, and tested and tried out many times.

Excellent work. Keep it coming.

Correction, because a group of rich and powerful vested interests exploit that ignorance for shortsighted profit.

Not going to happen. Europe is barely holding together as it is, and Russia/China are using just as much energy and resources in undermining it as they do in the US.

At best Europe can stick somewhat together enough to form a working defence and foreign policy for its own territory and near neighbours, but it is never going to be a global force.

Those interesting topic people would have been better off in another setting.

Also Rogan is a right wing propagandist hack, nevermind his lack of comedy skills.

I don’t think that China need anything from the US

They do like their money. The US basically funded their industrialisation, and keeps doing so.

The thing is that there have to be an incentive to receive and accept that logic. Something beyond logic.

You can’t use logic against someone who is completely emotionally invested in a cause. They need to somehow be open to contradiction, which most cultists certainly aren’t.

So in that respect it could be said that you didn’t logic yourself out of it, because you had already accepted contradiction to your beliefs before you started using logic.

It is funny how tankies are so fond of Trump. Almost as if they are actual fascists.

Not as much as that Putin-nazi shithole you frequent.

The fact that corporations sees the fediverse as inconsequential. The minute people flood it in larger numbers as they are fleeing the corporate entshittified internet, that is exactly what they are going to do though.

He is already kind of doing it, just replace Raid Shadow Legends with Russia.

No tolerance for the intolerant in a tolerant society. It has been thought about a lot.
