Yea. I refuse to buy any game that tries to sell me microtransactions, battlepasses or really anything these days. If the sticker price does not cover the full experience, it’s just not worth the hassle.

or even worse than Reddit communities or Discord servers, they’re facebook groups a lot of the time too. I feel like I can’t find any association or organization for well, any sort of activity, without needing a fucking facebook account to be able to join their group on there.

It was Slackware… Back in the late 90s. Do not ask me about how kid me managed that, all I recall is endless terminals, kernel panics and eventually getting a desktop through some arcane means I can’t remember.

I didn’t return to linux for many years after that experience.

I still have the 1996 edition of Slackware Linux Unleashed and the CD in my bookshelf as a reminder.

Is there an actual account of someone being executed for saying Jesus was from Kongo? I am not doubting they executed people for ridiculous reasons, but that one just stuck out to me as just… Was it just specifically Kongo or claiming he was from somewhere else than their scriptures claim?

I’m just reading this thread and finding it hilarious how many are triggered by this. The post isn’t even saying “all men” do anything, it’s specifically pointing out a small subset of men.

Friends are going to care if they’re actually friends.

I am so glad to hear he made it.
