The world would be an objectively better place if someone took this subhuman scum out. Half a fucking trillion dollars and it’s still not enough for him. These scumbags always need more and more.

I haven’t seen Halo Wars mentioned yet so I’ll nominate those games. Both 1 and 2 are insanely fun and they control surprisingly well on Xbox if you dont have access to a PC. I’ve put a couple hundred hours into both games on both Xbox and PC, but I do prefer M&KB controls even if it works very well with a controller.

Cutscenes are fucking awesome in both games as well!

Another game I’d like to bring up is Stellaris. If you’re a sci-fi fan and like 4X strategy games then I can’t recommend this game enough. I’ve put 630 hours into the game since I got it back in 2019, being able to role play a custom or sci-fi inspired empire is great. If the amount of DLC puts you off, then look up cream.api. Getting them for “free” is easy.

Even as a Protoss main, Wings of Liberty (the free Terran campaign in SC2) is by far the best in the game. I’ve replayed it at least once a year since it first released. Mass marine/marauder/medic backed by tanks is so much fun to play with.

Tomato tomato

Only because most instances have the common sense to defederate from that shithole. Now they just need to add .ml to the list. Fuck the mods and especially admins of .ml

Habit. A huge part of my addiction is simply the act of taking a break and inhaling some vapour. I smoked for 6 years and now have vaped for 8 years. Sure the patch or other alternatives will get me my nicotine but they dont satisfy the need to have something in my hand and inhale.

Yes it’s not a good habit but that’s my business.

I’ve been running Bazzite as my main OS now for about 8 months and I love it. Recently installed CachyOS on a separate SSD and am also loving that as well.

Linux is pretty great these days. Last time I tried it in 2014 I didn’t even bother to try gaming on it, now proton makes that a set and forget setup.

Hot take, but people that want 3.5 jacks back are just a (very) vocal minority. I’ve never met a single person IRL that prefers wired over wireless, I sure don’t miss getting my cable snagged on things or just having it dangling around. I have a nice set of wired Sennheisers for my PC and then decent wireless buds I use when I’m out.

The headphone jack is not gonna come back. Buy an adapter if you care that much or just use wireless buds like 99% of people these days. Mine last a full 10 hour shift with battery to spare, a normal 8 hour shift isn’t gonna kill the batteries on your buds unless you buy 10$ garbage.

Edit: also the 3.5 jack or cable generally stopped working or got fuzzy/bad connections long before the buds themselves started to go. Had to replace headphones so many times cause the jack got shitty or the cable wore out due to use. Sure the batteries in wireless buds will lose capacity over time but my current pair is over 2 years old and I only charge the case once a week with 40 hours of use per week.

Thanks Scotty!

To add onto the comments that you’ve already received, red dwarfs of approximately 0.08 - 0.25 solar masses are thought to be fully convective. So they mix all of their hydrogen fuel down into the core throughout their lives. More massive stars have different layers, the sun has a radiative zone above its core that is so dense it can take tens of thousands of years for a photon to get from the core to being released as light. More massive stars are too dense to mix all the hydrogen down into their cores and so end their lives with a lot of unspent hydrogen that gets ejected during the end of the stars life instead of being used as fuel in the core.

Another fun fact is that it’s thought that stars more massive than our sun have an exterior radiative layer rather than a convectional outer layer and so they wouldn’t have the “granules” that we see on the surface of the sun. They would instead be one “solid” shining surface.

God I love space. So fascinating.

Someone please correct me if anything I said is wrong, I’m merely an amateur space nerd and not a professional.

Just block the shots with your big banana ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Have you tried UwU’ing at them?

Even more sickening is how filthy rich that sub human piece of shit is.

Imagine being worth almost half a fucking trillion dollars and still not being satisfied. Words can’t express how much I hate these parasites.

I don’t use twitter (never have tbh) so I’ve only ever seen screenshots of his more infamous tweets, but I have listened to a LOT of his startalk podcast. Most of the time he’s an entertaining person and seems to admit when he doesn’t know enough about a given subject (although I’ve seen a lot of criticism that he does tend to talk about things he doesn’t know, it doesn’t seem to be that way in the podcast at least)

He can be annoying in some of his podcasts though and you can feel his guests being diplomatic about it while still hearing a bit of annoyance in their voice or next sentence etc. But overall I rather quite like him, despite the Internet’s disdain for him.

More people making science popular and easily digestible is always a good thing IMO. But I’m also biased because I’ve really liked NDT since I was a kid due to seeing him in space documentaries when I was young, and I still love his version of Cosmos.

You are going to wake up to realizing you know nothing about everything.

I wish I had your optimism about humanity.

Don’t underestimate the amount of people that vote strictly based off culture war bullshit as well. I’m Canadian and I see a lot of working class people that happily vote for the cons to fight “wokeness” and “dei” because god forbid non white/straight people exist. Seen lots of comments complaining about how white people are “villainized” etc in my local sub (yes I still use reddit for niche stuff that isn’t here) and tons of dog whistles about minorities, especially us indigenous people.

As long as they target people they don’t like, an unfortunate amount of people will happily vote against their own interest just in the hope of making “the wrong people” have a shittier life.
