I remember wrestling with that for years. I dunno, my last interpretation of it was the fact that if it was rare and considered an exception then the rule has a point?

I dunno. I’m more than likely wrong but that’s as far as I could go with it.

When I saw Bill Maher equate the student protests with being pro-hamas, I almost flipped my shit. I don’t understand what’s going on…

How much of that is the NHS getting now? /s

You’re absolutely right. I was trying to get what I hoped was the salient point out of the person’s post.

I knew a few guys in Europe I think maybe Austrian or something where they came from lots of money but went to school with “others” and they seemed pretty well-adjusted. Although, they have a lot of the other advantages that you’ve listed as well.

I think making the rich mingle with the normal people more would be beneficial. It’s harder to dehumanize the poor when you’ve met them. Can’t call them lazy or stupid and just not “wanting” it enough when you see them work as hard as you and not getting as far.

Although, I think the way things are it’ll never happen though. Nepo babies would dodge everything even if something like this were to occur.

First time watching Lemmino and I’m an instant subscriber now, it was a great video. Not gonna lie the bait at the end was really enticing and I hope that this does get solved soon!

EA backs away slowly

Btw, we all love Valve and the Steam Deck but Valve ain’t clean either.

Car brained troll.

Remember these chuckleheads believe the vaccine is poison and you gotta be careful and they put this stuff into themselves. Apparently research is listening to Joe’s podcast.

I don’t watch much Completionist stuff but he really seemed like he was reading a script written by a lawyer for this “response”. As well as, looking increasing angry.

I have a brother laser printer for years, can confirm.

My friend has one that’s like ten years old, works fine too.

The software is a bit janky and all that but it works.

Not just China!

QI show about US prisons: https://youtu.be/sHz2Hmq7soo … so many years ago, so it’s slightly out of date.

The Cold Takes videos makes me feel like I’m getting some scotch and sitting down and listening to an old friend talk about games in a 1950s detective style bar.

What’s funny is that in a real collapse. Their skills are the least useful.

Oh yeah, okay, let me be clear the scenarios you say make sense and are understandable. However, I’ve had school friends and even friends now who tell me to shut up because I sound embarassing. Or even “what are you even trying to say”.

It’s something that really gets to me because there’s a certain vulnerability when attempting new things or things you’re not good at it.

I kinda cheated, I’m slightly below conversational Cantonese … which is another dialect of Chinese. I picked up Mandarin because Cantonese is so damned hard to learn on its own rather than Mandarin’s vast learning material out there. The intonation is definitely difficult. I’m still not great at it … the key for me is not really getting bogged down with perfection so far. I just correct myself and move on. It’s easy to get paralysis due to wanting to be perfect.

A lot of Chinese people come to me to speak English and I grew up in London and lots of Eastern Europeans would struggle speaking English as well. I’m more than happy to work with them and practice. Never saw it as an issue, myself as well.

I’m learning Mandarin at a later age now (40). The keyboard stuff is okay but it NEEDS to be a smart keyboard where you typically use pinyin and it’s not that bad for what it is, but my typos are crazy now.

That being said, I’m ethnically Chinese and it’s really difficult to pick up. I know a lot of foreign languages are but Chinese feels rougher. Also, other Chinese people can be bloody rude when I’m trying to speak Chinese. I’m tired of hearing “stop trying to speak Chinese” … well fuck you too, your English isn’t exactly music to my ears either, but I put up with it.

I heard you’ll be waiting a while. I remember seeing videos and stuff that 5G capabilities are overpromised.
