I wish it was that simple… though I do like my games enough that it’s a pretty unpleasant choice either way, my friends who play also refuse to change games just for my sake, and they don’t mind using Windows. Therefore I can basically stop playing with them, or stick with this rubbish.
I love how he wears a different nutcase T-shirt in every panel (and the newspaper in panel 1).
Also, the one with the hole requires less material for the same lever width.
the joke is it’s painted on the actual route 67.
I couldn’t find it in the linked article either, but unfortunately it’s less jokey, as in, the vocalist that also sang this song passed away tragically early in 2011, and apart from the systemic corruption, it was also made as a tribute to him.
That sounds better - now I just wish those were the games that I play.
…which is a completely valid point if you don’t mind not playing those games. But if you do want to play them (for example because back when you got to love them, they didn’t have this), you have yourself a dilemma.
Unless you want to play against a shitload of cheaters every day (ruining the fun whenever you have 30 minutes to wind down), your game should have a decent enough AC to detect when someone loads a cheat, including the lowest level. And guess who doesn’t have a problem with 3rd party programs accessing ring 0.
So there you have it, you either stop playing all multiplayer games (not even just competitive ones!) entirely, or stick with Windows and all the awful things that come with it. I’ve been wanting to switch to Linux for the past 20 years, have been playing various multiplayer games over the past 2 decades, and it was always either the AC or just the sheer incompatibility (especially in the earlier years). There was even a time when people could happily cheat on Linux and get away with it in Counter-Strike: Source, because VAC simply didn’t work on Linux.
Making them resistant to HIV. How does he test it whether they actually are…?
Yeah, but since an infinite number of monkeys are working on it already, it will be just one copy for each of the infinite number of monkeys.
Thumbsticle?
If they keep the mindset and they don’t put themselves/their own friends or family above anyone else, they have a better chance at not fucking up the planet like humans did. Our own selfishness got us to the point where our own gains overweigh other people’s misery - see billionaires, famine, wars and the climate.
They are like an ogre, they have layers.
It’s interesting that people still ring something around noon. In my European country it’s common practice in every town/village (even in big cities) to ring the church bell at 12 o’ clock, but that’s a tradition from waaaaay back when not everyone could have a timekeeping device. We also have an air raid siren (mostly because of a “nearby” nuclear reactor), which also gets tested, but only about once a month.
EDIT: What the fuck did I do? I just said it was interesting that while in a different form, noon time ringing is still a thing in 2025. Sorry if that offended someone.
I’ve been using it for years, but only for ~10 minutes a day. Obviously it can’t teach you to speak it, but to read and write? Absolutely. The secret is to NEVER install the app. My philosophy is that if it has a website then everything should be doable via the website, and I won’t install the app.
NOTHING should urge you to install their app, unless it actually cannot function properly on a, say, desktop PC. In case of a trekking and hiking app, I understand it only works properly knowing your location (I would still be terribly paranoid about what else it does with my location info, apart from recommending paths and whatnot). But other than that, I always assume that when something could be perfectly done via a website and they still push their app, they just want to sell your data.
And believe me, using Duolingo via the website is definitely less frustrating than having the app.

Yeah, stop shaming trailer park vampires!
Can’t fucking wait for the grocery store to play Sandstorm.
Apart from the problem of my friends sticking with the same games I play regardless of my decision, the other problem is… yes, most people usually play the games that most people play. I also happen to be in that (high) percentage, so there’s not much room.
BTW I’ve been playing League for a long time, and while cheaters have been a thing for a while, in my experience it practically became a nonexistent problem recently. It doesn’t prove anything, just saying that League isn’t in the ‘cheaters all over’ category anymore (imho).
Thankfully, Rocket League is actually pretty decent in this regard, so that’s a “safe” one - but there’s several more that still necessitates Windows, so I don’t see the point of going back and forth in dual boot every time I switch games.
