Why do Americans always think everything is about them? Just because you hear about Canada in 2 different contexts at the same time doesn’t mean they’re related. Get over yourself.

I’m 90% sure that I could play gamebooks right now with my 7-year-old jailbroken Kindle. 100% sure that I could play other types of IF with one of the Boox devices that run Android.

I found 20.0 on the first page of DDG but go off…

Houdini FX has a Linux version, you’d just have to find a copy of it for Linux.

Lol. I hate how much this is like 1984 because I dislike people using it as an example all of the time. But between this and the “America First” shit, wherein tariffs are being levied against everyone, the logical conclusion is that Trump wants to close down the US, go self-reliant, and have citizens be too placated by propaganda to do anything about it.

However, this is a shitty idea and it won’t go to plan, so he’ll just end up with stupid people who can’t even work the factories needed to not have this culminate in a mass economic disaster. Anyone smart enough to care should leave the country ASAP because it won’t get better. Other countries should be revamping their refugee programs to benefit from the brain drain.

Meanwhile that lawyer is taking a bribe from the government to not represent Luigi.

Considering that that’s something that explicitly results in disbarment, and that an incompetent or deliberately poor legal defense is grounds for a new trial, I highly doubt that this would occur.

There are ways around these consequences, of course, but there would be very few defense attorneys willing to risk their career to facilitate a win for the government. I suppose blackmail isn’t out of the question, if they want to go down that road, but that’s highly speculative and conspiratorial.

You read:

This shift follows China’s diplomatic push targeting the Global South

And you somehow thought they were talking about Europe?

So SEGA and Konami (the corporation) knew about it. Let’s assume that. Are there records or interviews (from studios, individual developers, games historians, etc.) from that time on record saying they played and enjoyed it?

Simultaneous/independent invention in a highly experimental and novel industry is way more likely to me, but if you can produce some sort of proof of influence on studios that explicitly iterated on what 005 did, then that’s much more convincing than a Guinness World Record that only “proves” they were first (historically, they did barely any fact-checking and, in some cases, you could bribe them).

It also hurts the credibility of the article for it to say “people liked it,” and then not link to any sources like reviews or sales numbers. How can I know that anyone liked it unless I do independent verification of these claims? It’s striving to be informative but with a “trust me bro” type of approach.

Maybe Linux Lite? It’s based on Ubuntu LTS and the default DE is XFCE but you could replace it with LXDE or whatever you want.

When you take away the spoons, the only choice left is between pitchforks and knives. Metaphorically. In Minecraft.

Is there any reason you want a self-hosted service for this rather than making an account with TMDB or TVDB? Trakt fetches all of its metadata from those 2 sites (it prioritizes TMDB).

Not that you shouldn’t self-host an alternative, but you don’t have to.

I am not Iranian. Why would I even bother talking to you about Iranians if I was Iranian? Christ… get a fucking brain cell.

I’m sitting in my apartment in Ontario, Canada right now sipping coffee. I don’t even know who you are. All I wanted was information about Khamenei and Iranian people.

Dude, I fucking was born and raised here. You don’t know anything about us if you think we’re not racist assholes.

And i recognize your account its the second time you defend capitalism

LMAO! What? Bro, that’s crazy to hear since I’m a staunch socialist. But whatever! I guess you are the wrong person to talk to about this.

Also, I’m a born and raised Canadian with no Iranian heritage. I am mostly English and French-Canadian. Who do you think you are?

I don’t doubt you, I’m just trying to get your perspective on why these differences exist. But maybe that’s me acting entitled to information from a random person and I would be better off watching a documentary or something.

Can you say why Iranians dislike Arabs or why they support USA/Israel, and why Khamenei supports Palestine and not USA/Israel? I’m trying to understand why this difference exists. I really am not educated at all on this part of the world (that’s my ignorance, but I am curious about your experiences).

Is it really as simple as racism or are there socioeconomic concerns? For example, many people in my country (Canada) hate immigrants because it’s difficult to find a good-paying job or an affordable apartment due to suppressed wages, lack of domestic manufacturing, and a very bad housing crisis. It’s easier to just blame immigrants for coming here than to convince the government to help us more directly.

Can you speak more to that? Why is there such a difference in perspective between average Iranians and Khamenei?

Most Americans don’t realize the scale at which their empire works tirelessly to oppress or subsume all other nations. Telling them about CIA interference in the '70s and '80s blows their fucking minds, let alone what’s going on today across the world. It goes against the narrative that they’re tough but fair stewards of the planet and not schoolyard bullies with nukes who have transformed the global economic landscape to benefit themselves, so it doesn’t make sense to them.
