Fun fact! To make a super duper effective cleaning solution, all you have to do is mix ammonia and bleach! Make sure you do it in a small enclosed, dark room in order to ensure the solution binds together properly.
Big Cleaning doesn't want you to know this because it cuts into their profits when people realize everyday chemicals can be combined to make better soaps and sprays than they sell.
I just looked over to the side because of this post, and realized I have a peanut butter cup still waiting to be eaten, so thanks!
Lmao either this is ragebait, or top notch satire.
Well, top notch for what I've seen today, anyway....
I still sometimes hit ctrl/alt/del to open the task manager if I'm not thinking.
Too many years of doing that when I was younger and it only brought up the task manager.
It's the same reason I can't watch people play games.
If I'm watching a let's play, I'm yelling at the screen inside 5 minutes because the player missed the SUPER FUCKING OBVIOUS SLIGHTLY HIDDEN DOOR GO BACK AND GET THE LOOT YOU MISSED OH MY GOD
and if I try to watch someone play in-person, I'm still screaming, it's just all internal.
Russia has thousands of nukes in its arsenal, and this is one person in one base.
Even the US doesn't have all its nukes well maintained, which is why they've been overhauling them for years.
Personally I never subscribed to the "Russia has 0 nukes ready to go" theory because that's just downright idiotic. Bare minimum you keep one well maintained so at the very least you can target whoever targeted you and try to hit their capital with a MIRV.
Since no country really has a problem with taking what it wants from the people, it stands to reason that Russia would just squeeze its population a little tighter to keep as many nukes operational as possible.
However, with that said I also don't doubt a large percentage of it's nuclear arsenal is basically useless.
And anyone who knows anything about nukes can tell you it doesn't matter if they have 10 or 1000, they could still kick off the nuclear apocalypse
I mean, the reasons for hiding nefarious things are slipping down the drain.
Some EU nations are basically in putins pocket, thanks to their government, the US just elected a Russian asset as president, who is filling key potitions with yes men and more Russian assets, and they just get the finger wag "don't do it again" every time they do something.
So why bother trying to hide it?
You remember adults telling you to ignore bullies in school because they'll lose interest? That was all bullshit, as history class will happily tell you during your world War 2 segments.
Ive seen it being played by almost everyone on my friends lists at one point or another
honestly I wouldn't be surprised if it's hundreds of thousands, if not millions.
Pffffffff
I can see that bright white dot against the dark mode background on my maximum brightness screen with ease! Therefore your argument is invalid!
It's a neat game. I've put a couple dozen hours into a few villages over the last few months. There's still a lot to improve on, but based on the little I've learned about the developer this seems like more of a passion project than a money maker.
Chug along, little dev, there's dozens of us waiting for updates! dozens!
There should be a tune able setting under "brightness" that automatically darkens the screen when it displays a certain amount of bright colors, especially after certain times.
Like I'm fine flying around a space game at night right up until I come face to face with a star, then I can't see anything for a good 5 minutes. If I turn the brightness down to like 30%, I'm fine at any time of day. Just make the TV do that automatically when I have the option ticked.
It would have to have a ton of settings to not just end up being annoying to use though...
I have hated this word since 2007.
"Why?" you might ask? Imagine you are in an English class, and the teacher decided to do the worst thing imaginable and have every student read out loud.
This sucks for everyone involved, from the people who suck at reading, to the people who suck at speaking in public, to the people who just don't want to participate in group activities. Nobody likes it.
I'm in the "if these 3rd-grade-reading-level-in-highschool-having-dumbasses weren't slowing me down I would be done with this book by now" crowd. It also used to irritate me to no end when people mispronounced (in my opinion as a teenager) easy words.
One fine day a particularly dense student comes across this "word of the year 2024 winner" of a word, hesitates slightly at the unfamiliar letter combination, and says..... "Dee-murrrrrr" like Dee the name, and the first half of "Murray"
The teacher is always quick to correct pronunciation, but for some reason... Doesn't.
Then the word pops up again. Same thing. "dee-murr". The next student reads the following handful of paragraphs. Comes to the word again, and says "dee-murr" with complete confidence.
Eventually it gets to me, and finally someone can correct the people who have been saying it wrong.
When I get to a sentence that has it, I pronounce it with a not-so-subtle emphasis to try and indicate in that undeservedly-areogant way that only a teenager can, I'm right, you're wrong. This is how you say it. way.
And the teacher fucking corrects me and says "Dee-murr"
I did a double take and said "It's pronounced demure." to which the teacher replied "It's dee-murr, just keep going"
Teenage me chose that hill to die on.
"I had a college reading level when I was in second grade, I corrected 3 elementary teachers grammar, and my family's library has more books than you even looked at in college, I know how to pronounce words, as you should the second you look it up in the dictionary." (paraphrased, I can't remember exactly what I said except the college reading level since I was quite proud of that in school)
Wouldn't you know it, the teacher apologized, asked me if I wanted to teach the class for the day, stood on his desk and said OH CAPTAIN MY CAPTAIN and everyone clapped.
Or I got detention, hated that teacher for all time, and now every time I see or hear that godforsaken word the embers of rage stir deep within my soul...
Probably that second one.
