Damnit this would’ve been my immediate response, too.

Hey OP, here is some serious DD you might like

I do not believe asking questions should be labeled as a crisis.

Very sound advice.

Hmm, I’ve only played Stellaris from this company and that game is great. A bit pricey with all the DLC, but the alternative of releasing a new Stellaris every few years probably amounts to the same.
Also, I’d rather play a well fleshed out 8 year old game, than getting a bare boned husk with each iteration - which sadly tends to be the norm for 4x games.

Right, I knew I had forgotten something :)

We’re on a run.
Cannabis decriminialized, now abortion legalization (shoutout to our french neighbours for setting the pace!), Deutschlandticket, energy gets decarbonized (yes, former governments made some mistakes there…) and the list goes on.

All that to be killed off because the fucking boomers will vote “conservative” next year, the country is moving too fast for them or some BS, LMAO.

In Germany, we have a word for that: “Leidensdruck” and I think that’s beautiful.

“They thought they were free”…

Been here since Europe got flooded with AOL CDs, same.

Is there some kind of conversion rate? Like each discovered tunnel justifies 1,000 more dead or something?

It’s in the revised “wormhole aliens” edition .

Will do that, gladly.

How do you cope with all this without just giving up?

By making it personal.
No but seriously, in my country (Germoney) a terrible plan of the far-right fucknuggets got revealed and the people are taking it to the streets in response. During this week, I activated quite a number of co-workers to BE there this weekend. You can change people, you can change them with respect, words and your deeds. I’m a firm believer of “do good and talk about it”. The process is a bit grindy though, ngl ;)

This weekend, there is even a protest in my tiny 30k people town. You love to see it. I will participate, as I did last weekend in Braunschweig (Brunswick).

LGTM, Ship it!

Don’t cut yourself with that edge!

inb4: “But YT operates at a loss and needs monies”. No. Just no. They deliberately worked at a loss to stifle and kill opposition.

some explanation

To be fair, they used setTimeout() and not thread.sleep() because the latter isn’t possible out of the box in JS ^^

Obviously there a people in charge now who will never understand the Streisand effect. They could have kept it quiet and just… allow… the technical adept users to do their thing. Now, they are the laughing stock and get unwanted attention. Also, from my layman understanding, this shit won’t fly in the EU at all.

Or, to say it differently: This is the best thing to happen to Mozilla in quite a long time and I’m a fan.
