Best I can do on my lunch take at work I'm afraid :)

Make the police do some work for a change. The next time it happens, call 999 while it's happening. Tell them honestly you're concerned for his welfare. And keep doing it until some resolution happens. It might take a few 999 calls but eventually they'll have to do something.

If you bought a Steam Deck, would you actually use it?

I know a few people who bought one and it's just collecting dust on a shelf or in a box somewhere.

Yes, but the universe keeps creating better idiots

Correction, Winamp still does this today while using a fraction of the resources.

Though if you're on Windows I'd recommend Xmplay instead, it plays basically everything.

I'm on Linux and I use VLC.

Yes, I know that I should move to Graphene before someone tells me.

Graphene user here.

Same issues here.

There are many reasons you should move to Graphene but this isn't one of them.

Every UK store has them right now, come over

It's ridiculous, I reluctantly have a GrapheneOS phone and my bank was absolutely fine with it, but McDonalds refuses to sell me a cheeseburger.

Overly simplistic example:

• You have clothes. You need food.

• I have food. I don't need clothes, but I do need water.

• Someone else has water. They need clothes.

We could do a complicated multi-party trade. Or, rather than set one of those up for every single necessity of life, find some item that everyone's willing to trade for. Instead of using items which have intrinsic value such as gold (which we'd presumably also have to trade for), we can use a token whose only purpose is to be that universal item. We call that "money".

The way we represent that token isn't really important. It can be metal discs. It can be pieces of paper. It can be numbers in a computer system. But crucially, because everyone is willing to trade what they have for some amount of money, we can each trade the things we have too much of for money, and then trade that money for the things we need.

Again, this is overly simplistic and missing a hell of a lot of nuance. But that's how money works in the most basic possible terms.

Same way I respond when someone accuses me of not being my own fucking gender: by going to their profile and clicking the block button, because life's too short for me to shovel their insecure shit. :)

I want to know how the fuck you "absent-mindedly" get your hands on estrogen because there are some trans friends of mine who've had massive issues with sourcing it.
