    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...

    Trump is the most corrupt US president in history

    ...this coming from a guy who (yet again) threatens 100% tariffs on the EU and UK just yesterday.

    Poll: is Trump suffering from dementia?

    Here's another doozy (source: ) Situation: Swan and Haberman interview Trump, and the topic comes to the election fraud claims, and "that person who claimed these were the most secure elections ever". Trump didn't like that, of course (because he was telling the opposite), and got him fired...

    (Best Deals) Steam Summer Sale 2026

    A few quick mentions: * steamworld dig & dig 2: simple "dig dug" platformers that are roguelite but casual in nature. Played through each at least twice. Almost always goes on strong discounts to prices of a few bucks now. Rest of the "steamworld" games are great too, but platformers are my jam...

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

    I'm in @Beware's position (see below). I just got my confirmation mail, meaning I'm in a queue to potentially buy one I get a mail... Between iirc the 29th and the end of the universe. On hardware, it's pretty much concluded: yes, you can build a rig that's both cheaper and with better...

    So Andy Burnham is going to be PM

    Yeah, I got me some reminders of how the brexit vote happened ten years ago (as if I needed a reminder: you guys are pretty much our neighbors). Majority of Britons: naaah, I don't feel like voting whether we're in or out of the EU. 48% of voters: we want to remain in the EU 52% of voters: I...

    So Andy Burnham is going to be PM

    Ahem... Okay. But seriously: i haven't congratulated you on calling the change days before the actual news, @emigre. It was a good call, and going by some past surprises (i don't think even May thought she'd become prime minister after brexit) it might hehe been an excellent call. So... What's...

    So Andy Burnham is going to be PM

    ... Says the guy where voter districts are redrawn purely to suppress votes and where non-battlestates effectively aren't part of democracy. I give it 93% chance you're just making it up.
