Classic mistake

FYI, Black Mesa is currently on sale for $4.99, absolute steal at that price.

Yes, Black Mesa costs money but it’s absolutely worth it, they put a LOT of effort into restoring the original as faithful as possible but with more modern graphics (Source engine based). I played the original Half-Life when it came out and Black Mesa definitely gave me the same amount of awe and wonder. One of the best fan remakes of any game I’ve ever seen.

Also, I see that it’s currently on sale for only $5 (75% off), at that price it’s a steal and absolutely worth it.

Why is it shortsighted? A service like this costs money to run, and if you won’t pay for it, someone else has to.

So did Facebook. It’s the old drug dealer gambit: first hit is on the house, after that, you gotta pay.

Hawaii does have the largest coffee growing industry in the entire US but they are severely limited by the amount of available land. Compared to other coffee-producing nations, the Big Island is microscopically tiny, so they mainly focus on high quality, artisanal product sold at extremely high prices. Not that I would mind if all the coffee sold everywhere would be replaced by Kona coffee overnight, but it just isn’t feasible.

Somebody once told me…

Europeans be like: “I’m just gonna take a half tablet, don’t want to get dependent on this stuff”

Meanwhile, Americans:

Yes, it’s real. Just another case of “the European mind cannot comprehend”.

It do be like that 😤

Best I can do is less more

What part of “he won the popular vote” did you not understand? Across all states, more people voted for him than for Harris. Even if there was no electoral college, he would still be president.

Unless you’re arguing that electoral college votes should be redistributed in a way that ensures the winner will always be a Democrat…

Communism is just state enforced minimalism.

“I wanna go to the ocean but I really hate those fuckers in Sierra Leone, Libera, Côte D’Ivoire, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Togo, and Benin.”

You’re welcome. Glad I could help.

Calling things you don’t like “bullshit” is misobovinist you absolute bigot. It’s also racist because Indians love that stuff. Do better.

While there technically might be more choices available in other places (for instance, in Germany there’s usually at least 2-3 smaller parties that have a legitimate chance to make it into the Bundestag), de facto it still boils down to the two major parties (conservatives and social democrats) duking it out amongst themselves, and voting 3rd party is merely a matter of choosing who their junior partner will be. It might help sway the resulting coalition’s direction on some minor issues but the overall direction is still very much decided by the 500 lbs gorilla.

Well deserved, if you ask me.

FYI, Trump DID also win the popular vote this year. Perhaps it’s time to retire this argument.

You’re welcome.
