The hypocrisy is strong from this company making a game that glorifies theft.

I drink my coffee during my morning commute, usually 45-60 mins long. Nearly every travel mug I have is insulated so well that its still scalding hot an hour after I arrive, so I have been using a plastic travel mug instead. This work, it cools to a drinkable temperature after about 10 minutes, but I can taste the plastic. Something is leeching into my coffee and it gets astringent during the last half. Awful. I need something new. Most mugs advertise they keep it hot for 6 hours! I dont want to wait 6 hours to drink my damn coffee!! /rant

Anyone else have this problem and good suggestions? I'm all ears. Thanks!

Digital isnt the worst thing, but how "ownership" is controlled can be. I wouldn't blame Sony for the move but their method is garbage, and their past practices with digital ownership is too.

GoG on the other hand knows how it should be done. I have tons of games from them on a thumb drive. I've never actually needed to use it, but its nice to know I can. Major kudos to them.

That said, most of my games are owned on steam, which still has DRM, but at least I can play those games on a 20 year old PC, a modern one, a box in my living room, or on a multitude of hand helds. With Sony you are tied to a specific console and thats that. Good fucking luck when they stop selling that console.

$3.49 for a fucking hashbrown? They better be frying that up with truffle oil and giving me overpriced pink Himalayan salt for fucks sake

This was so obviously a bad idea from day one, I was shocked at how widely adopted these were right away. In retrospect I shouldnt have been surprised but somehow I just always expect people to be smarter.

Holy shit keeping a device longer than 2 years is "device hoarding" now? Thats fucking nuts.

How do you invest so much money in a device like that and not make it last? I've got one phone I use for work calls thats 10 years old. People are still shocked I dont even have a case on it.

The goverment paying off student loans is like bucketing water out of your boat and ignoring the hole. Like sure, its gonna keep some people afloat for a little longer but the issue hasn't really been addressed, the problem is still there and the cycle remains a perpetual shit storm. The cost of education is preposterous, the people taking these loans dont have jobs to support paying it back, and most of them are too young to have the experience informing them of what a monumental undertaking paying it back will be. If they tried to get the same loan for a house or business they would be denied. There are so many issues to tackle but paying off the loans rewards the groups who created the problem in the first place. It incentivizes them to continue the foul play and prey upon vulnerable youth. Without some systematic reform accompanying the loan payoffs to ensure this doesn't continue we will end up in the same situation over and over again.

Fetterman is just proof that brain damage causes republicans. Maybe RFK jr too but somehow I doubt that guy was ever normal

I live there and basically... Yeah. I mean, it feels like we are on a direct course for implosion.

Sorry the rest of you have to deal with our bullshit.

He was saying some agreeable things and got a lot of attention for it at the time. I'm not sure if he was hiding his real opinions back then or if they just got ignored. Ever since he got brain damage he's been acting like a guy with, well, brain damage... It's been obvious for a lot longer than his Mar a lago visit a month ago

There are a lot of people living in the united states who don't deserve to deal with this racist bullshit.

I just installed Linux and holy shit it is so much easier and more straight forward than a windows install. Really wish I would have done it sooner.
