this is the last computer I will ever buy

That's unironically the end-goal of these companies. They want you to eternally rent your hardware on the cloud.

On the bright side, there has never been a more deserving set of generations of the horrors of capitalism.

Beelzemon deserved it and I'm tired of pretending they didn't.

I'm a sub for a local Middle school and the kids are so fucked.

Some history teacher taught about the Maine ship explosion and how it was used as a pretense for the Spanish-American War and immediately a group of kids started espousing anti-Spanish views. I thought it was a joke at first but then a kid from Spain got jumped at lunch today and was called an Spanish slur I never even heard of before today.

Barbecue is absolutely a class issue and I have unironically ghosted people over it before.

The answer is you wouldn't have one. You'd have a mobile device with AR capabilities that projects a screen monitor into your office. This is why Meta is pushing shit like the MetaQuest despite it being a glorified toy. The ultimate goal is a mobile device that acts only as a gateway to cloud computing platforms.

Yep, this is unironically the future of computing unfortunately.

Every single "bullshit" advancement you've seen so far has been leading up to this. The focus on developing cloud infrastructure, subscriptions services being normalized, and even the metaverse. Eventually, you will own one device and that will be a phone / VR headset. It'll act as a glorified monitor in AR which connects to a cloud computer to actually do anything. You will literally be unable to have privacy or install software that isn't approved.

I also wouldn't be surprised if AI is partially a scam to raise DRAM prices enough to make home computing less affordable.

I think there's a bit too much ice in this mini-soda.

It'll get all watery

Genuinely good game imo. Themes of self-improvement and love are good. The girls are actual characters and there's a nice friendship arc before the relationship. The game doesn't end with a confession and it actually shows how the relationship plays out. I don't think it's a "porn game" as you call it. There are certainly sex scenes but most of the writing is sincere not horny. You aren't going to have random tit shots or bikini armor if that's what you're worried about. It's also not a harem anime, you get a love interest and a friend in each route.

I'm not a person with disabilities so ymmv with that part but I thought it was respectful enough. All of the characters are fully formed with dreams and problems that don't just revolve around why they're at the school. It strikes a nice balance between highlighting their struggles while also showing them live complete, fulfilling lives.

It got me genuinely emotionally invested when I read it as a young adult. It can be cringe, but only in the way that every sincere attempt to display emotions are. Overall, a solid 8/10 if you're just passing by. An easy 9.5 if you vibe with the characters. Don't be put off by Kenji, he's probably the only stumbling block you'll come across. He's supposed to be a bit ridiculous. Also, use a guide since the point system will be arcane to a newbie.

Go for it, it's free and genuinely good.

A liberals understanding The Paradox of Tolerance is that we should have the moral right to be cruel little shits to the political out-group because they do it too.

It proves they never really cared about actually tolerating minorities and correcting their viewpoints. It's something they shouldn't do but now that they can they'll relish it like a white supremacist reading Huck Finn aloud in a black church.
