Best to do it once you move out so they cannot retaliate. When I lived in Ireland none of my many landlords was registered. Not a single one. So I reported all of them except for one (who gave me the place overnight when a homophobic landlord kicked me out, also overnight). I hope they're all registered now and strengthening the economy with the hard labour of owning necessities, refusing to release them to those who need them and scalping the prices. 💪

The asus case arrived and it's huge. I hoped to size down (don't have any measuring tools) but it's as big as my current one. I'm very uncomfortable and would love to return it but cannot find a replacement. Should I keep it? I hate: -branding -RGB -wasted space (I've no HDD, disk drive etc so I only need cpu, mobo, psu and gpu spaces)

How did it go? I'm so tempted to when I'm freshly shaven but then the stubble comes back and I feel like I'll look like a fool once it does. 😮‍💨

The gov has shitload of money to pay for their pet projects and saving fellow rich. Helping the population meet their necessities? Nah...

Hopefully not. I'm an iconoclast. I tire of cults of personality. Hopefully class conscious people can cultivate class consciousness in people around them till the breaking point of dissent is reached.

My joints hurt and I'm constantly sleepy. There's far more but I don't want to go into detail. I need my medicine for my body to stop hurting. I moved countries and instead of being forwarded to the doctor I need I was forwarded to a specific clinic and apparently they don't accept new patients anymore and don't even have the doctor I need. I'm confused and tired. I don't speak the local language. I was fine scheduling a visit with the doctor because it allowed me to seek doctors who speak English but he forwarded me to a hospital which doesn't have any online stuff. I'll try to call tomorrow but expect them not to speak English. I was happy to finally have healthcare coverage but now I'm angry I'm forced to pay hundreds a month and cannot even receive the help I need. I'm sad. I technically can buy people reselling their medicine but I'm scared it might be too old, spiked or else. And just don't have the money nor will to do stuff like this. I hate this. :(

I'm curious about your stories. In my other thread about thinking of moving to Japan because of their population decline people suggested communist countries. I personally don't consider it at the moment because, to my knowledge, they have a stable population growth so my housing issue wouldn't be easier to resolve. Nevertheless, I'm eager to listen to your stories. :)

If you go to Reddit, you will still see their ads, be they obvious or hidden through disguising as user interaction (bots are more or less obvious, AI is at the stage where they can fake users). You drive engagement and site traffic. The only way to do anything disadvantegous to Reddit is to stop going to Reddit (if you also delete all your content they have less things to put inbetween ads for the remaining users). You are the product they offer to advertisers, be it through being the buyer for advertised things or providing content to put between the ads so the users who may buy those things don't only see ads. Your enjoyment of the platform is largely if not completely irrelevant from the corporate standpoint. If anything, your disgruntlement can make you engage more providing them with more content to put between ads.

No idea if my posts may be recognizable yet so a short intro: I'm perceived as a foreigner everywhere I go my entire life and have no attachments anywhere. Finding housing is hell due to the anti foreigner prejudice. I moved countries three times in the past three years because of this and I'm struggling again so I'm escaping the situation by thinking of the potential future solutions. I keep hearing about the Japanese decreasing population so I was thinking maybe it would be viable to look into jobs there eventually. I was wondering how it went for you or if you fantasize of it or plan to do so yourself. I just aim to someday live where my contribution to the society is more valuable than the prejudice against me not being a local and places with considerable negative birth rate feels like the most sensible choice.

Mine is the Bloom from Torment: Tides of Numenera. I love the fleshy bits. I love the everyday gruesome horror becoming an everyday thing for the people who live there. I love the literally organic surroundings. It's just by far my favorite location in any game ever. :)

By defederating the grad they miss out on experiencing the wonder I am. Poor people. I weep for their loss. They will never access my exhaustive list of cat communities. 😟

It touches on a very interesting topic which is colonialism and I think it does a fair justice of portraying the moral issues of such. As a lifelong foreigner I also appreciate how it portrays characters reacting to you as such and how much they demand to give you a chance at being perceived as acceptable even if you haven't done anything wrong and merely aren't a local, a topic close to me. Again, it's slightly buggy and I managed to break it but then I managed to unbreak it and didn't lose any content. It's an enjoyable journey I hope more people can appreciate. :)

I hope you get to play it if you didn't. If you have VR, their VR title ties into the world in an extremely special way: (spoiler) the protagonist becomes the final boss in Revenant. You get to make a decision affecting your world and even your world will have bosses you may otherwise not have depending on how it generated and some you may never see if you don't replay or opt to help someone. It's a really great punishing gun fun game with a really cool world. It has some roughness with the character creation but you can simply cover yourself in armor and forget of it. I hope you get to love it even half as much as I did. :)

I'll admit I never got into Wastelands. The world doesn't appeal to me. But I see people occasionally speak of the games but the studio made Torment: Tides of Numenera which I loved dearly and literally never ever seen spoken of. It's a really good game which is waiting for you to discover it!

It's one of the best RPGs there are. The choices actually matter a lot. I'm really sad there's no part two and now online algorithms are reminding me of it so I want you to know of it too!

If they actually continue on their path of ensuring no ad blockers work on YouTube, I will simply cease watching it completely. I really hate how aggressive advertisement became over the years. I didn't mind non-gore (because some ads shown really gruesome health issues) and non-porn side panels which didn't animate. Hell, sometimes I'd click if they had what would interest me. There is absolute zero chance I will buy anything which bothers me. And I won't let it waste the time of my life.

It is sensible if you're not being systematically oppressed. Pride parades under capitalism lead to their complete comodification. Ads of brands everywhere. Brands changing logo colors for a month. Yet the queer situations isn't improving. It seems to be actually getting worse in the west. :/

Is Reddit just a liberal recruitment zone?

If you cannot exist in spaces displaying different political opinions without feeling affected you either are a child and therefore easily molded or the ideas speak to you on a fundamental level. If neither is true then you can just ignore it, no?

People from jobs which on average have above average income don't get affected by capitalism same way as the average and sub average income people do and therefore don't get exposed to the issues. They might even benefit from capitalism because they have the disposable income to do so. It's in their interest to preserve the status quo.

Who do you think controls the narrative?

It's the same for the army. There is no real way to afford the props so people have to lend from the army who then controls the narrative however they want. With CIA it might be less direct but I bet they'd happily knock on your door if they found out you planned to slander them in an easily widespread medium.

Yea. Gay landlords are still landlords. :/

My best friend did education outside of China (her entire family has been living in US for a while but they keep declining her visa in spite of having no relatives anywhere else) and currently works in Europe. Two men from Poland kept harassing her at work with racists comments. No manager has ever done anything. They apparently won't get their contracts prolonged which is nice but for fuck's sake... She follows the Chinese community in the country she lives in and apparently racism got even worse as of late. I remember an ethnically Asian old lady got thrown from a high bridge into water a few years ago around there. My blood boils when I see sinophobes.

Ironically they used to until the war. I remember watching a documentary on Ukrainian nazis I think from Vice(?). Where did it all go? Manufactured consent.

I had to remake an account on ml because I don't want to see nazi places and nazi comments. Nazi federations unfederating ml is free filter for me. c:
