I use an aeropress or make my own cold brew, what does that make me?

My friend used to have a cat called Chevy, which was originally short for Le Chevalier but changed to be short for Chevy Chase because they were both assholes.

Similar thing happened to Kneecap - do agents and labels not actually listen to their artist’s music?

It’s pretty obvious that when a server goes offline the total number of posts will go down, but it’s not a helpful metric. Comparing the posts per day, rather than total number of posts on different days, would give a better idea of the effect.

Making decisions while drunk is rarely a good idea but it sounds like you’re in an unwinnable situation. I hope things get better, comrade.

As far as my last few days of reading about distros can tell, all of them are good for gaming - Proton does the heavy lifting, and the only thing it seems completely unable to deal with is kernel level anticheat. Bazzite is built to streamline gaming, particularly across multiple devices (eg PC and handheld), but as long as you can work out how to install Steam you can game on any distro.

One of the many reasons I spent yesterday switching to Mint. Spent a while fucking around trying to get my drives to work but I only ruined everything and had to reinstall from the start once.
After I worked out Darktide really wanted to be on the same disk as Steam and needed an additional proton package it ran smoother than it did on Windows.

Could you do me a favour and get a fucking grip please? You’re describing having to use your imagination while wanking as dystopian.

Democracy is when voters are undereducated and lied to by politicians in order to vote against their own interests, and not democracy is when voters are directly threatened. You are very smat.

Even between relinquery and soup cage phylactery has been used/is still used to refer to amulets, protective charms. Admittedly the D&D phylactery is protecting what it contains rather than providing protection to what it’s attached to, but it’s a much clearer connection than the tefillin.

I don’t think you understand how widely familiar people are with [noun]y Mc[noun]face as a name. The name of a storm has literally no effect whatsoever on the atmosphere and climate, so it doesn’t matter what the Met Office ends up deciding to call them, what matters is the awareness raised by the campaign, which can actually be turned into action.

I want you to take that admission of ignorance and keep going with it. Not to us, just admitting to yourself what you really do and don’t know. Do you know what an Uygher looks like? What their language or culture are like? Where they live, inside and outside of china? What do you know about china more generally? What have you been told about China, and what do you actually know? What have you seen, what have you been told you’ve seen, and what haven’t you seen?

I’m not telling you you have to believe China is a perfect utopia, I’m just telling you not to believe everything you hear or read about it. The West very publicly considers China and enemy, so every claim it makes about China should be met with scepticism. Have you read the sources provided for the claims made about it? Have you looked at the individuals and organisations that created those sources? You have to read the whole corpus of information to build the real picture.

I was trying to set one up but then they just went and said that.

You have my sympathies, but I fear the hole in the ground plan just isn’t going to work. You need tools, time, a really good excuse for why you’re sweaty and covered in dirt, and peace of mind it’s not going to get unearthed by a random animal or person.
Would it be possible to just lie to them about its purpose and keep the lockbox in the fridge? Would you get away with telling them you have diabetes or something like that?

Look I know I was trying to build up to a gotcha but this is all you. Nobody forced you to admit you don’t even know where Uyghers live. You made yourself look stupider than I ever could. I was just going to post a 40 minute travel vlog of the region showing off all its Uygher people and culture, but you proudly announced your complete ignorance.

Why wouldn’t they? Have you seen Xinjiang?

That won’t work, they post that kinda stuff all the time.

What I’ve come up with so far is to pre-prepare supplies, put them in a padded metal box. Then once I get to my parents, I bury them in the ground somewhere in whatever woods they have nearby.

I don’t have any advice but there has to be an easier way, either just coming out or not visiting them. Where are you even gonna get a shovel from? “Oh hey dad can I get in the shed, I need to borrow a shovel to do something not suspicious in the woods”

Don’t worry, there’s gonna be an entire crew just of people doing the beer bottles on fingers bit from the Warriors
