Fanboy wars are exhausting, stupid, and unproductive.

You will be a happier person when you stop giving a shit about what phone or operating system someone else uses.

On Windows, NanaZip is even better. It’s a fork of 7zip focused on performance and UI improvements.

alcohol is physiologically worse than nicotine, but not nearly as instantly addictive.

i’ve watched people with much stronger mental fortitude than i try to quit nicotine and fail spectacularly. i don’t know any smokers who aren’t addicted.

nicotine scares the hell out of me because i do not want to be a slave to it

it’s wild to me how willingly people will give themselves over to nicotine addiction

i blame our nonsensical drug laws that rank cannabis and psilocybin mushrooms as “worse” than nicotine and alcohol, even though the latter two are more harmful and much more addictive

i love me some cannabis, i’ll have the occasional mushroom, and i even enjoy a glass of whiskey every now and then, but nicotine scares the absolute hell out of me

Critics didn’t necessarily go to film school, but they see everything under the sun, so when a movie doesn’t do anything particularly new or is highly derivative without adding its own twist, it bores them. The person who goes to 3-5 movies a year doesn’t care, to them something derivative of 10 movies they haven’t seen is still new and fresh. This is in addition to the technical competency component you mentioned.

I watch a ton of movies so my tastes are more likely to align with those of a professional critic.

it’s kind of shocking how bad motorcycles are at fuel efficiency given how much less mass they have to move

i’ve had real italian pizza, in italy. it was fucking delicious, but it doesn’t make the best pies i’ve had in places like new york or chicago taste like cardboard with sauce. some places in nyc can absolutely go toe-to-toe with italy.

it is pretty obviously a joke at dominos expense

how would you expect something like windows update to function without elevated privileges?

activation nagware

what?

I don't follow. The cooler designs on modern midrange and high end GPUs are way bigger and more elaborate than anything that has ever shipped on a $150 GPU.
