  • SWIFT is a European cooperative and its headquarters is located in Belgium! I don’t know where you even got the idea that this could be an American company.

    Also, all of Europe is covered by Giro Payment. Credit cards do exist and are usually supported, but almost no one uses them domestically.

    Edit: Another interesting note about ICANN. The US government has not had direct control over ICANN since 2016 due to its importance for global communications. The US government has no power to censor any of the namespace resolving outside its own borders and if they were to try, this would give a lot of states a very strong argument for the already existing calls to remove ICANN entirely from US jurisdiction.

    While true, “we did fucking nothing” is also entirely true. The vast majority of humans don’t give a shit about the environment. No matter their wealth and power. It’s only a lot more noticable and harmful when Jeff Bezos flies to space. But let’s be real here. If average Joe White (43) had the means to fly to space, he would do so without a second thought of the environment!

    We’re dealing with a pandemic of selfish assholes and one of its symptoms are selfish billionaires who destroy in seconds what a few thousand conservationists achieved in a year!

    Have you considered, that the vast majority of gamers are not COD kiddies? I’d love to play Elden Ring, Minecraft, Skyrim or Satisfactory on my TV, while cuddling with my gf.

    And the best part? You get an arch install that doesn’t randomly break because you haven’t paid enough attention during the last pacman update! I seriously expect Valve to understand that pacnew files and mandatory forum readups are not a good concept for OS maintenance.

    Writing this from my phone because the last update probably removed the encrypt hook from my initframes. God, I love using linux!

    Half the smaller villages in southern Germany are named “Ried” which comes from reed and roughly means “swampy place”. The other half uses some variation of the suffix “-höfen” which just means “this place consists of farms” 😂





  • Counterpoint: I love rugged nobody adventurer types. I love the point in the campaign when you still have to use your brain to solve problems and when wild animals still pose a significant threat. This may be one of the reasons I stopped playing DnD altogether.

    It’s not fun at low levels because your characters have absolutely no skills whatsoever and it sucks at high levels because over time you only get a bunch of instant-problem-solvers like Tiny Hut, Fly and Teleport.
