For me it’d be a minimum of a 18 hour drive just to go somewhere where English isn’t always the default. Can be over a day’s journey to the other side of country. It’s just not like Europe where it’s an hour’s of a few hours trip to another country where they speak another language. Instead it’s a several hour trip just to go to the next state over who speaks the same language as me.

There is a lot of fair criticisms to make of our countries, but this isn’t really one of them. Instead you have to look a little deeper to understand the why people here don’t always know a second language.

Depends where you are in the country or how wealthy you are, on whether learning a foreign language is a meaningful thing to do. People who live towards the middle and up north can easily go their entire lives without knowing another language. People who live towards the southern border could get a lot out of knowing Spanish. Towards either coast and knowing another language maybe useful. It’s a massive country that primarily speaks English, so it shouldn’t be a shocker to see that many wouldn’t need to learn a second language. I, myself barely know part of another language. And part of that is, it just isn’t really useful to me since almost no one here speaks another language.

That is where you are, unfortunately, wrong. The generators may be used under the pretext of being incase the power grid fails. However even under circumstances where they shouldn’t need to be operated. And I shall repeat myself here, only seems to be done in black and brown communities to harm the environment in those specific areas. So, no. It is not “supreme neglect”, but done with intent and with prejudice to the minority groups who were already living in the area.

TLDR: No it’s racism, you shill.

Ooo I wrote a paper for a uni project and this issue came up and it is depressing. Data centers near black and brown communities do this exact practice all the time. Even if the electric grid can support the data center without issue, they will still turn on gas generators. With the sole purpose of adding additional pollution to the area, just to harm minorities. Meanwhile they will not do the same to white communities. It’s pure racism, through and through. It’s not just Musk, it’s every billionaire, it’s every data center owner.

Who wants to celebrate? Drinks on me, or edibles if you want that instead

I can’t believe they gave the cat a 9-5 😭

Don’t forget GOG flipping them the bird for it

Collecting reasons to not buy like infinitely stones at this point

Mrowww :3

No let’s not do that. Building these slopstations will only contribute to the build up of space debris. Making it harder for future generations to have access to the stars. Just shoot them into a mountain side, or the ocean floor instead. Far more economical too.

I can wait for new games to go on sale, there’s so plenty of great older games and a consistent flow of good indie games to play. AAA titles can wait till they are cheap enough to be worth the cost. Especially now with AAA being the cost of 4-5 Silksongs but not being 4-5 Silksongs of value.

Several of those sycophants also had the gaul to tell me that I too would buy a brand new console just to play GTA VI sooner. No buddy, I can stick to my morales and beliefs. I got time to wait for this game to be available where I want it to be, and for it to be a more reasonable price.

Yeah fuck off with that bullshit, I’ve waited a long time already for this game. I can fucking wait even longer for the pc port and for that to come down to $20 or less. No way in hell is this game worth $80, not unless it is literally flawless. Meaning no bugs, no battlepass, no other macro transactions, no extra paid dlc. It needs to be the greatest game ever made to even come close to justifying that price tag.

Oh and how much I am laughing at all those Rockstar sycophants who said they would buy a brand new console just to play GTA VI on release now. Only for them to buy it again when it comes to pc. Still want to pay $500-900 for a PS5 plus an $80 game? Want to justify to your family that that game will be a nearly $600-1,000 purchase in this economy? Yeah they forcing you to sell the console and game the same day you get it.

Thank for the based take Batman

Hey Hakeem Jeffery how about doing something meaningful and helpful for your constituents and the country at large. Rather than being just another spineless, feckless coward? How about understanding that the people choice Mandani and the candidates he supported? How about understanding that the people are fed the fuck up with you and the establishment’s endorsement of right wing and far right wing ideals? Have you considered that asshole? Doubt it. Send another strongly worded letter, surely the 11,000th one will be the one that will finally impact change…

I’m a girl now dad…

Only reason I’ve been to a clinic or a hospital in the last year was because my wrist hurt so much I had to. And that I work in EVS so I clean the damn place.

Do not stick your pennis in the tigeon

This is the recipe I used, copied straight out of my recipe list

Penne ala Vodka 

    1. Ingredients 
        1. 16 oz Penne Pasta
        2. 2 tablespoons Olive Oil 
        3. 4 tablespoons Butter
        4. 1 Onion
        5. 2 Garlic Cloves (2 teaspoons of minced garlic)
        6. 1/2 cup Vodka
        7. 1/2 cup Tomato Paste
        8. 1 1/2 cup Heavy Whipping Cream 
        9. Salt
        10. Pepper
        11. Basil (Thinly Sliced)
        12. Parmesan

    2. Instructions 
        1. Boil a generously salted pot of water for the penne and cook it al dente according to package directions
        2. Meanwhile, add the oil and butter to a skillet over medium heat
        3. Sauté the onion for about 5 minutes or until softened (ok if it lightly browns)
        4. Stir in the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds
        5. Add the vodka and let the sauce bubble
for 30 seconds or so
        6. Stir in the tomato paste until you've got a smooth mixture
        7. Stir in the cream, and reduce heat to medium-low
        8. Let the sauce warm
through
        9. I find this sauce thickens up very quickly (within a couple minutes), but feel free to cook it a little longer to thicken it up even more
        10. Season with salt & pepper as needed
        11. Stir in the fresh basil if using
        12. Toss with the drained pasta (if needed, thin the sauce out a bit with a splash of hot pasta
water prior to draining it)
        13. Serve with freshly grated parmesan cheese
