If they use the term “Town Common”, probably somewhere in New England. Guessing Boston.

Edit: Saw OP already replied and confirmed Boston.

Poutine should be normal everywhere and I am devastated that it’s not.

And that’s all assuming the few OEMs that still have unlocked bootloaders will continue to do so.

It wouldn’t surprise me if Google starts requiring locked bootloaders in some future version of Android in the name of “security”.

Can’t speak for that person, but sometimes if a company asks me too many times to leave a review after I repeatedly decline, I’ll leave a negative review out of spite.

Unless you’re in the US, then now might be the best time to buy electronics before prices continue to rise, haha.

I laugh because I’ll cry if I don’t.

16GB is probably fine for most games right now but there are already some games where you will start to notice some drawbacks.

A game like Cyberpunk has a minimum RAM requirement of 12GB, but features in the game can cause it to eat more than that. And someone playing on PC may also want to have things like Discord streaming and a web browser going at the same time which can further eat into the budget.

Better to have more than you need IMO and future-proof a little bit, and RAM is not that expensive.

That being said, while people back then certainly smelled bad on the whole, they had one advantage going for them which was fabric materials that breathe better than the synthetic fabrics that we use today. It made it easier to wear pieces of clothing for longer before it started smelling bad compared to polyester/nylon/etc. which trap oils and moisture and start to smell bad after only one wear.

But the other thing is that people also go nose blind to BO after prolonged exposure, which is why people who don’t bathe enough often don’t realize how bad they smell to others.

No, I don’t think I could.

The problem with dictators is that you put every action under the context of a single person’s perspective. Even if you go in with the best and most altruistic intention, no single person is able to tackle every issue from every angle, and you will inevitably end up committing an injustice by a simple lack of awareness.

Not to mention that many issues are of relative morality to different groups, so to one group you can be a savior but to another you will always be a despot. Whichever interpretation ends up as the definitive one depends on how willing the offended parties are to overthrow you.

A democratic system is not perfect and (depending on perspective) may not be as effectual at bringing out positive change as an altruistic dictator, but the concept of distributed responsibility/distributed blame reduces the likelihood of a coup/revolution (emphasis on reduces, not eliminates) as long as the political apparatus is seen to incorporate or acknowledge everyone’s perspectives in the decision making process.

Misspellings effect a terrible affect from pedants.

At this point I just accept the various spellings as common. I feel like I stick to one particular style but I honestly couldn’t tell you if certain words are UK English, US English, or specific to somewhere else.

As long as meaning is clear, I don’t think it matters which is used. Alternate vocabulary is probably more significant points of confusion (e.g. what is a biscuit to you?)

The man will either die before he experiences consequences for his actions, or he will die as a consequence of his actions. But agreed, I don’t think he will ever experience consequences before then.

Not the previous user, but I think humanity is something that everyone is endowed with at birth, and a narrow few people choose to surrender it through their actions.

Might be a PieFed thing, I’ve never seen it on Lemmy

The Executive branch is beholden to its rulings

Though made significantly less potent by one such ruling that makes the president immune to punishment for any crime committed as an “official act”.

Their rulings are effectively “No one but the president is able to do X, Y, Z” because the president can always just do something they know is illegal, wait months/years for the court to finally hear the case, get told to stop, and then basically just keep doing the same thing a different way until it gets challenged again, which becomes another months/years long process.

Instructions unclear, shot my hookup in the neck.

This is incredible.

I was right to respect witches.

Ah yes, known supporter of Israel, Zohran Mamdani.

Includes AOC, Sanders, and Mamdani too, so I guess we lump them in with the liberals again.

Nah fuck Oracle, too.

Russia, more like. There was a huge amount of Russian-sponsored disinfo found to be circulating during the Brexit referendum.

The main link between the US and Brexit is only that the US is currently following Russian masters as well.
