I was using Manjaro KDE and ended up switching to Pop OS because Manjaro would never work right with my GPU. Pop OS has worked very well out of the box though.

The first time I learned about this as a wee lad, I was genuinely Concerned

This dude’s lucky he’s not a mind flayer

I feel like the last version of this kind of thing was the Important Videos playlist which was 2017-ish, I think

Divinity Original Sin 2 is my favorite RPG of all time. DOS1 is good, but a bit dated.

I’d watch a Scarecrow movie with Cilian Murphy

Welcome to the Superwahljahr, Senegal

With no more High Priestess the priest hunter could finally retire

My experience is this: In Austria they want to speak English. In Germany they want to speak German. On a Lufthansa flight it’s 50/50 whether they ask me questions in English or German.

Really? They seem to pay decently if their advertised rates are true

Wait until you find some nerd using SAS.

My day job uses SAS but I’ve used Stata and SPSS pretty extensively. SPSS is the most black-boxy out of all of them, but it’s also easiest to use. I see why it’s so popular in behavioral science; the math-heavy types tend not to go into psychology and similar.

It’s because education is sold as a way to get a job. Nobody communicates the value of being an educated person other than the salary one could potentially make.

If you haven’t played it, Divinity Original Sin 2 is a fantastic Larian-made RPG that uses a non-D&D system.

I had one DM fight the absurd amounts of time combat took by instituting a minute rule: if you can’t describe your entire planned actions in a minute, you forfeit your turn.

There were lots of common-sense exceptions, but in general combat felt more like actual combat, and the whole thing felt more like an action-oriented story than a football game (where more time is spent planning the action than executing the action)

Not a native speaker, so I could be wrong about this:

I’ve seen a construction using proper nouns (eg. Annas Haus) where an “s” indicates possession, but no apostrophe. This doesn’t seem to apply to non-proper nouns (das Haus der Frau) and is different from normal genitive construction that adds an “s” to masc/neut noun genders (das Haus des Mannes)

To be fair, that’s the argument that’s most likely to resonate with a lot of Oklahoma voters

Pandemic was actually pretty good for most board game stores, as people needed something to do at home.

The Library of Congress added “software that runs land vehicles” to their copyright exceptions somewhat recently. That’s why farmers are legally allowed to use cracked software from Ukrainian grain farmers to run/repair their tractors

I didn’t like it because they spent so much time doing character development (Barney in particular) and just dumped it all out the window.

The problem is that “women are attracted to nice guys” implies that “being nice” itself is “enough” to be attractive. Guys get this idea that all they have to bring to the table is “I’m not a jerk” and the ladies will fall into their laps. The problem is, the jerk down the road is in better shape, has interesting hobbies, and/or has a real, dependable job. Being “nice” is like having two slices of bread and saying you have a sandwich. If you don’t put anything between the bread slices, everyone’s going to opt to order the burrito instead because it’s got an actual filling.
