Celebrate my 18th birthday

...unless the Buddhists are right

Pretty sure both chains offer vegan pizzas. So then it's only an atrocity against Italian cuisine (not because it's vegan, but because you could've chosen a proper pizzeria).

Yes, you can pair used ones without any problem. They're not locked to a specific piece of hardware.

He went to Japan, married and became a rice farmer. You can visit his grave in Shingo, Aomori Prefecture.

Also games and console collecting for me. Just not fun with today's prices. I guess on the upside my collection is now worth way more than what I paid for it. Not that I'm planning to sell.

I use a Samsung Flip 4 since almost a year ago. It's pretty good, nice having a phone with a large screen that can easily fit in my pocket. Everything still works well, no problems with the hinge, but I've never dropped it or anything. As for negatives, the camera is meh (coming from a Pixel) and so is the battery life. Definitely needed my powerbank on my most recent vacation to the UK, where I used it a lot. I hope when it dies, there's something like a Pixel Flip that's durable and has good battery life. Otherwise not sure if I'll go for another flip phone.

Technology is certainly improving and in many technical aspects, modern games are much more advanced than older ones (e.g. raytracing). Some aspects of graphical detail aren't really dependent on technology though, but on effort and skill. RDR2 is a great example of that, as the devs really went out of their way to add incredible detail to every part of the world and especially the animations. It must have been very time-consuming and prohibitively expensive to realize that level of detail. Even back then most devs didn't go through that kind of effort and now, with so many development studios getting closed or shrinking, most will take a much more economical approach to graphics. There are still some incredible examples of advanced graphics from recent years though, like Alan Wake 2.

Comparing a city to a country doesn't really work.

Strange headline. The game doesn't seem remotely similar to Stardew Valley. It doesn't even seem to have farming, a relationship system or really anything that makes Stardew valley what it is. Looks like a decent game otherwise though.

You really can't generalize for Europe. Countries here differ vastly both in regards to laws and gun ownership rates.

Now im not one to nitpick, but I don’t think thats something a commie would do right? I mean capitalists winning is supposed to be worse right? Am I thinking of this correctly? I mean thats one of my questions, like yall hate bigwigs but bigwigs are good when they fight the evil commies?

I'm a Democratic Socialist and I hold the "Democratic" part higher than the "Socialist" bit. A Socialist economy is not worth it, if the price for it is oppression and genocide. Socialism must come from the will of the people, not conquest and murder.

okay now im nitpicking but didn’t you say youd defend a capitalist country against a communist one, but critique when someone else defended a capitalist one?

I'm saying it's even worse when people calling themselves communist defend not only communist dictatorships, but also capitalist ones. It means they're just in favor of dictatorships, period. Or they're just incapable of any critical thinking and defend anything as soon as they see a hammer and sickle.

Ethnicity? Race is primarily based on (arbitrary) physical characteristics.
