If she were German specimen, I’d say that this is her normal beach pigmentation hours before getting their characteristic boiled crab skin tone. But I don’t know much about Irish specimens sunbathing rituals.

No way in hell I’m eating that salmon raw if it hasn’t been flash frozen first (which, I hope, the chef has done since she paid a lot of money for it). Anisakis is something you don’t want to fuck around with.

You looked to Magastan for democracy (and always hoped that they never decided to export it to your country), never for those “French things” that sound extremely communist for a Magastani.

Israel and sniping children?

Billionaires and raping kids?

Conservatives and molesting underage girls?

idk, I could keep naming duos…

Poor sony is fucking over its customers and now can’t stand when they push back? I’m sure it will go fine for them. After all, Nintendo’s been doing the same for years and look where they are.

Gamers* are crybabies who will never seriously boycott a company because god forbid they skip the latest release of the game they follow. The gaming hellscape we have right now is 100% on the gamers because if they started boycotting when shit started to happen, we wouldn’t be here now. But alas, I suppose it’s just too complicated to ask these people to vote with their wallet for once.

Oh well, enjoy the future you are creating.

*Disclaimer: I understand that not all the people who play are like this, but I also understand that critical-thinking gamers are a small minority with barely any power even if they boycott. Sony knows this, and that’s the reason why it’s doing this; the userbase loss won’t be that big.

You got it wrong. You have to show the kid two women kissing so it balances out to zero (as you have 2 men and 2 women). If you show them a man and a woman, they’re still 2 men up so they’re gonna stay gay.

It’s basic maths, you should know that!

I suppose there are meds you can take to help you control some of our “quirks”. Like meds for when you feel anxiety (maybe after a sensory overload).

If someone tries to sell you meds to cure it, they are grifters ore worse.

3rd person star craft?

Starcraft Ghost existed. Then they canned it and we’ll never see it finished.

Tbf, we saw a lot of gameplay from the leaks so maybe they decided that, since we already saw gameplay from the leaks, it would be better to show us the cutscenes.

But at least I can brag about my fps counter being higher than yours! Otherwise, how am I going to justify buying the latest nvidia gpu?

You’ll have to tell all those obsessed with playing the latest AAA slop in mega-ultra at 531649516782 fps in 4k with ray-tracing so they can see the ultrarealistic explosions. I know a few. The other day at work, one coworker just couldn’t understand that I was fine playing a pixel art game on 1080p at 60fps because it looked “ugly as fuck”

My bad, was probably a typo when typing while talking IRL 😅

It’s AMERICAstation 5, excuse you.

Italy, socialized healthcare:

Last year I got involved in a crazy car accident that left me with serious injuries.

1 hour after the accident I already had the first MRI done, a specialist surgeon saw me, determined that my injuries needed a second MRI and a CT scan but that they were not life threatening. A couple of hours later I had all the required tests done and assigned a bed in a room to start recovering. 3 days later I had back surgery and some more days in the hospital to rest. My injuries were not life threatening but the OR was ready for me from the moment they called the hospital saying they were bringing a multi-trauma patient.

In a few months from now, I’ll have to go back to remove the bars they put in my back to keep the vertebrae in place.

The total cost of the whole ordeal was exactly 0€ (unless we want to count the book I asked for to read something during my stay).

Fuck the US healthcare vigorously with a spiked stick. If this happened there, I’d be better dead because the debt I’d have now would be insane.

No, no. The change of name is intentional. DPRM is the most fitting name for the current Magastan as the only difference between it and the country I named it after is the language they speak.

Hard no from me. Should be North Mexico. Official name Democratic People’s Republic of Mexico, or DPRM for short.

Odd indeed. I’d never say that, because I’m definitely a human and wouldn’t need to say I am one.

Not so long ago I read an article about how Trenitalia is among the best European rail companies in all the metrics, from price-quality to delays (or lack thereof).

Italians complain about trenitalia as if it were a national sport and they rarely can’t understand that the country has one of the best railway systems of Europe. This kind of news about other European rail companies are always a joy to share with an Italian “tossing down the calendar” (Italian idiom for saying blasphemies) about trenitalia because they simply can’t process it.

This. The US of magastan are screwing over the whole world and not many are willing to keep going with this. Hell, even Italy’s Meloni, a fascist fuck that idolized the orange pedohitler, is starting to say that dealing with it is harder than she thought.

When the orange fuck finally croaks, there will be a worldwide party and many of the assholes in that administration will realize that if they ever leave the power, they will face several consequences because the world will demand them if the US wants to be considered relevant again.

I started over at 30. New country, new field of study, new everything and although it wasn’t easy (mostly because I didn’t even know the language), it could be done. Now, at 40, I’m learning Japanese just for fun and to keep my mind engaged. If you think someone at 28 is too old, I hate to break it to you, but you are terribly wrong. You’re too old only when you decide you are too old.
