in my area we have a separate tub for glass, and it doesn't get collected, we just fill it then take it to the recycling centre where there's a bottle bank or a bin for broken glass

Probably mods. In the base game there's more reasonable clothing/armour than there is risque, but gamers gonna game ig

I had a ps2 demo disc that had the first level of TS2 (siberian dam) which I played over and over and over. Could never find a copy of it, but I got Timesplitters 1 instead and played it to death and back.
One day some neighbourhood 'bad kid' randomly showed up, acted like he was my friend and asked to borrow it, and I, being the shy, timid, push-over simply said ok.
Weeks later I would ask for it back, and he would give me some bullshit about how 'Oh yeah I'll get it for you, don't worry', until finally he said that he had 'accidentally' snapped the disc in two.
A formative experience indeed

there's an irony in calling your channel 'unlearning economics' and then making a bunch of videos outing yourself as a smooth-brained succdem that refuses to investigate marxism beyond a superficial level

i love that 'pissboy' is more frequent than 'piss stain'

It never stops bothering me when people say "comprised of", as opposed to just "comprises", or "composed of".
I try to remind myself that I'm witnessing the evolution of language in real-time, but it just annoys me that what causes language to evolve is just people misusing it.

The timeless, boilerplate "you don't agree with me so you must be a republican" is utterly bizarre to see, on lemmygrad of all places. it makes me think of this scrubs scene

I've been on farming simulator 22 for about a month. never thought it would be much more than just satisfyingly harvesting wheat for a few hours, but now I'm practically a tractor enthusiast

are cowards who don't have the stomach for genocide

turns out this is basically anyone - the Nazis found that their initial enactment of the final solution (firing squads mostly) was hindered by the psychological impact it had on the soldiers doing it - hence why they tried to find more 'indirect' methods of murder, resulting in the gas chambers

is this loss?

back to germany

I'm guessing the "ethnic German" actually means they're Americans with German great-great-great-great-grandparents

it looks like it was originally posted on bilibili, so idk if there's an option on the site to do that, or if it was edited in post or what

the character creation is kinda superfluous at this point, you can spend loads of time naming them, making a coat of arms etc. but in my experience it never comes up anywhere, nor does your leader character. there's no real plot or politics to speak of, it's just a medieval city simulator. there are some policies you can enact but the only impact is just 'raise taxes = people sad' and the like. maybe in future more stuff will be added but at the moment it's not got anything i would consider problematic
there are already mods to change things like character avatars so you could potentially just make whatever character portrait you like and put that in the game

has anyone else had the issue where livestock just doesn't get bought for years on end? every playthrough I set a family at the livestock trader to buy like 50 sheep, and 3 years later they've bought 1, even if I had money to spare in all that time

literally black mirror

grand prix. big price

it's all streaming services now, like they all had a meeting and said "let's just collectively raise prices to optimum cockbag levels", aka oligopoly

I hope you're prepared for an unforgettable shitpost!

I was thinking recently what it would be like if we replaced all aeroplanes with airships instead; like helium-filled zeppelins. If it meant saving the planet, surely everyone could tolerate a slower journey, after all, people used to spend days and weeks on ships travelling across the world.
The only real obstacle to this is the system's incessant need to extract as much of everyone's labour power as possible, not just over the course of a work day, but over their entire lives, meaning that any reduction in speed of travel, for instance, is intolerable, as it results in 'wasted time' that is not actively being spent on exploitation.

Scene from Star Trek: The Next Generation, Season 1, Episode 22, "Symbiosis", in which Capt. Picard attempts to mediate a trade dispute between the Brekkians, (pictured) who possess large quantities of a valuable medicine called "spice", and the Ornarans, who are in need of the drug to cure a plague.
