I think some years back the EU passed a law that forbade paid lootbox type rewards, we need to see more of these measures in gaming of all kinds.

I'm so used to having to bend over backwards to walk anywhere in Greece that I literally could not see the problem

There was a time when the pyramids were just a pile of stones

This is a refreshing post. I get really tired seeing the same shit again and again, Meta this, Elon that, Linux is great, FOSS is religion, fuck capitalism, etc. I agree with a good percentage of the things I see here (although there are many cases where people go to extremes) but I need to see some "normal people" content. I feel like a depressed social outcast reading the same nerd stuff without any other content, no offense.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

I hope everyone supporting nationalist politicians because the old days were better for them take some time out of their day to reflect on this, let WW1 and WW2 at least have the positive side of teaching us about what not to fall for as citizens.

Truly a superior fruit, I'd be eating many more fruits if they were as problem free as bananas are
