Are people in Ukrainian controlled territories free to protest against forced conscription and withdrawal of passports? No, they will get put into prison, and given a choice to join the military or serve a long sentence.

Sanctions have not succeeded in lessening support or creating regime change. They are a siege warfare tactic, and a way of inflicting suffering upon the masses of people. There’s plenty of books on the topic, I’d recommend Sanctions as War, edited by Stuart Davis and Immanuel Ness.

The lag of some games will be reproduced faithfully on this, intentionally. It’s functionally an n64 clone that can upscale.

I prefer og psx, personally. I’ve never played the PC version though.

I wish. Min wage in some parts of China provides a similar purchasing power as I have making more than 4x the min wage in the US. I would actually be able to afford a house in my lifetime if that were true.

It will be interesting for sure. I’ve got a 4070TI and I’m already having issues running games at 4k60 as the newest games come out.

BYD, honestly. But, if you’re in a country that can’t get them, I’m still a fan of Toyota. Hear good things about modern Hyundai too, but I can’t say anything from personal experience.

I was driving this weekend, a truck turned onto the road ahead of me, stayed stopped in the right hand lane until I got near to them, then slammed on the gas spewing a massive cloud of filth that entirely enveloped my car. Thankfully my wife and I noticed it beforehand and rolled our windows up.

A similar PC capable of 4k60 is more than double the price of the ps5 pro. I’m more upset about the digital only. I already have a pc for digital games, in fact a 4k60 capable one. I’d consider upgrading my ps5 and giving the old one to my brothers, but not if I lose access to my physical games or need a bulky external drive.

I pretty much had to give up shooting games in general as I got older, because it just felt so gross. There’s a few exceptions like Deep Rock Galactic, but even then I just don’t really enjoy my primary method of interaction with the world being shooting things anymore. It’s gauche, and I think my love of them earlier in life contributed to my anger issues and lib regression from a youth of radical organizing.
