    Nigel Farage V Count Binface - The dumbest By-election in British History

    Oh, I know that guy! He's an absolute joke of a politician, always prancing some stupid stunt to make headlines but with policy ideas that won't survivale the slightest piece of scrutiny. In fact, if you look up the word 'tosser', his picture should be there. Heck... as a non-Brit, i don't even...

    Trump is the most corrupt US president in history

    In what would've been a major scandal if it weren't for so much competition in this field: now he's suing the new York times... For their reporting... On the Qatar-gifted plane. No, not even because they wrote about political influence it gives qatar. It's about the safety of that thing. It was...

    So Andy Burnham is going to be PM

    Okay... While this is going on, the most hilarious political race is getting underway in no other country than the uk So... Nigel Farage resigned from... From... Uleave? Reform UK? I honestly forgot the name of his "we'd be doing brexit better if only we weren't spectator" party. So now he's...

    The US is now at war with Iran

    The ceasefire agreement was never meant to be anything more than a placeholder to build upon. Build thrust that was shattered when the US flat out murdered Khamenei during "negotiations". See what aspects were tenable by both parties. And forego of the goddamn war rhetoric. But if the markets...

    Thoughts on the world cup?

    Man...it's a weird kind of euphoria around here. social media bring out memes and even a local news put the following on their front page (translated): "Belgium wins 4-1. Who you're gonna call now, Donald?". It doesn't mean the controversy died down. Rather the opposite: FIFA is now doing the...

    Thoughts on the world cup?

    Just watched the summary (bloody match is at 2AM our time, and I get up at 5:30). Belgium apparently won 4-1. So Trump not only sussed a controversy, he caused it completely without reason.

    Thoughts on the world cup?

    I just had to laugh out loud when listening to the radio. Earlier in the day, FIFA tried to claim that the decision was made internally, and the report of the opposite was from unnamed, inside sources. But of course you can count on Trump to be ignorant: he just flat out admitted calling...

    Thoughts on the world cup?

    Ugh... Belgium vs USA next Wednesday. On one hand the team did better than I thought, and frankly... The match against Senegal was tight, but Senegal was overall better imho. On the other hand... Why the fuck bother? Balogun got a red card in the last match so according to theoretical rules he...

    What's "Your Addiction" in Gaming?

    Nowadays, I'm playing shards of infinity almost daily on my tablet. Since it's not exactly the most renowned video game, I'll elaborate: it's a deck builder in which you both start at 50 lives and level 0, and by buying cards you either aim to bring the other to zero, or reach level 30 and use...

    Sony is moving away from physical discs, will soon only release PlayStation games digitally

    That sounds a lot like the internet I know. :P

    Steam Machine waiting list goes live, starting at £879 with a 512GB SSD

    Haven't seen the video, but doesn't that mean that there's a free RAM slot? If anything, it makes it MORE upgradeable (if it had 2x8GB RAM, you would essentially need 2x16 GB anew). :unsure: EDIT: nevermind. Already pointed out.

    Kentucky church takes indoctrination to a new level!

    ... okay, so it used to be that EVERYONE in your shithole country was terrible and now it isn't everyone anymore. Do I look like I care? @titan_tim : yes, I've mentioned xenophobia for the obvious reason, but I'm just as :blink: as you are on this one.

    Giving up on modern software.

    I've not tried ubuntu in years. I'd give my own (recent) recommendations, but given you've had 3 different OS'es fail on you, I'm also inclined to blame the physical media rather than the operating system(s). Sorry, but I honestly can't recommend using an operating system that isn't maintained...

    Kentucky church takes indoctrination to a new level!

    HOLY FUCKING CRAP! Yeah, with Trump I'm used to bats dropping gradually all the time, but this... This is straight up horror. I knew some us (southern) churches had xenophobic rightwing views, but i thought that was mostly comedy ('what's this woke shit doing in my Bible?' ). This... This is...

    Trump is the most corrupt US president in history

    Don't forget: -cryptocurrency is notoriously hard to track or quantify (possibly because it's relatively new) -extremely volatile value market -no assets to seize in case of a scandal Compare it so, say, the famous tulip bubble. If bitcoin was that, you'd see crates of tulips being moved around...
