The only reason I ever even tried “Outlook (new)” was because the old Microsoft “Mail” app was trash (the piece of shit wouldn’t even let me send plain text email). I immediately lost interest as soon as I realized there was a bunch of 365 shit bundled into it that I couldn’t disable.

If Microsoft wants more RAM just to do AI shit on my computer, I’d rather have even less just to make sure they cant.

I’ve gotten back into Minecraft lately, after not playing it at all for at least a year. I finally reached a couple major milestones, like defeating the Enderdragon and obtaining netherite scraps (still don’t have any netherite equipment yet–obtaining smithing templates is a real pain). Playing on a couple SMP servers has also motivated me to put actual effort into beautifying my bases, rather than just living in a tiny wooden shack I made on day one or two.

Wouldn’t go so far as to say it “ruins” the album, but “Shakermaker” is quite a letdown compared to the rest of “Definitely Maybe”.

I once decided to make myself an elaborate vegetable omelette for breakfast, and didn’t realize until the very final step that I had forgotten the cheese.

Honestly, I get many of my best recommendations by word of mouth. I don’t think any website can beat talking to your friends about what they’re watching.

If you don’t want critters eating your veggies, you have to set up a fence around your garden.

The Mozilla Foundation did a tech podcast called IRL. It hasn’t updated in nearly a year, and I don’t know if it’s ever coming back, but some of their back episodes are worth listening to.

I have a vague recollection of seeing part of Princess Mononoke as a child, so I guess that would be my “first”, although what really got me interested in anime was watching the first couple episodes of Attack on Titan at a high school club.

I like the idea of weekly rewatch threads and artwork threads, and I also agree with the other users here proposing threads for currently airing shows.

There were plenty of other factors that may have pushed Trump over the line, and most of them come down to Hillary being a bad candidate.

I hadn’t heard about the sexual assault allegations, but I’m not really surprised. What I have heard is that “The People’s Party” is technically not even a political party (and thus doesn’t qualify for ballot access), and that “leftist” “comedian” Jimmy Dore is a prominent member. The fact that West even considered working with them makes me question both his judgement, and his seriousness as a candidate.

OK, so you want to have your cake an eat it by implicitly accusing her while saying you just don’t know.

Anyway, I think you’re giving the American voters too much credit if you think they couldn’t elect Trump without Russia’s help. You’re also vastly overstating the size and influence of the Internet Research Agency. If it truly was a Russian attempt to influence US politics, it was a deeply unserious one.

Instead of “just leaving this here”, how about you actually clarify what you’re implying? It sounds like you’re accusing Jill Stein of being a Russian asset, and I think it’s really irresponsible to make this kind of accusation in a vague way that gives you plausible deniability.

Still not very big.

“Coldplay Live 2003”, mainly because it contains some of my favorite deep cuts.

Obligatory “Americans will use everything but the metric system” joke aside, I wonder how astronomers can even discover an asteroid this small.

She’s not on the same level as RFK Jr.

The final TV episode still ends on a strong note. YMMV on whether or not it’s worth sitting through the whole show for the payoff.

Just don’t bother with the special episode. The first half is just a recap, and the second half just throws out even more loose ends without resolving anything, and then writes “The End” at the bottom. Incredibly dissatisfying.

If you really want to cast a protest vote against Biden, you should probably vote for Williamson instead. She’s far from ideal, but at least she’s not an anti-vaxxer.
