From the looks of it you can create your own character? So you might not even need to mod it to do that.

Anything where it doesn't matter if I get distracted at any given point, e.g. turn-based or otherwise non-time-sensitive games.

  • Incremental games (Chillquarium, Pegidle, Synergism, etc.)
  • Powerwash Simulator
  • Geotastic (with time limit turned off)
  • Slay the Spire, or other deckbuilding roguelites
  • Dominion
  • FTL: Faster Than Light / Multiverse
  • Civilization VI
  • Picross/Piczle Cross and similar games

Oh great, another Putinbot spouting reams of misinformation.

Trying to clean up the whole mess from your firehose of bullshit is a fool's errand, but here are a couple counterpoints for the benefit of anyone not already familiar with the relevant history:

  1. The war in Ukraine was not "civil." It was being waged by Russian troops acting as "separatists," a disguise so thin that the only ones to buy it were on Russian state TV.

  2. Every single escalation in the conflict was by Russia, ever since the hostile takeover of Crimea.

  3. The military strength of Russia compared to NATO is so ridiculously lopsided that the only way Russia could possibly "win" is if they're able to sabotage NATO from the inside, for instance by manipulating foreign elections enough to put a Russian puppet in charge.

"Putin's puppet administration says NATO should cede everything to Putin, news at 11."

The "big issue" with this it that it is being done entirely to appease the vain whims of an egocentric wannabe dictator, and for no other reason.

As of five years ago, 70 petabytes: https://blog.adafruit.com/2020/12/01/donate-to-the-internet-archive-digital-library-of-free-borrowable-books-movies-music-wayback-machine-internetarchive/

in 2012 it was 10 petabytes. Now, it's probably well over 100 petabytes. I think it well beyond the scope of torrents by now.

Side note: does he get his bitcoin wallet back?

Dude was deep into Bitcoin back when it was less than a dollar. If he diversified and stashed just a fraction of his holdings, he might now be one of the richest people on the planet.

Who says crime doesn't pay? :/

DEI is basically "you know that thing we do where we only hire from the old boys club at our favorite ivy league university? Let's hold off on that."

Companies benefit from DEI policies because they expand their hiring pool, so the company ends up with better talent. They're still aiming to hire the best out of that pool, of course. Companies are motivated by profit, not by reparations.

I know its effect won’t be more equality.

Its effect will be more equality. Unfortunately that is not a good thing for the old boys club, which is what motivates the FUD and disinformation you've heard regarding DEI as a buzzword.

Am I missing something? You don't have to precook lasagna noodles, you put them straight in the lasagna and they cook in the sauce.
