UnionPay (Chinese operator) has 3rd best coverage AFAIK. If you don’t need an international card, you can always go with a regional one (India’s RuPay, Turkey’s TROY, etc)

I’m waiting for WERO to get there, EU has been the least bad option recently.

At google scraping the internet, putting it in a blender then force-feeding us that goop while selling our eyeballs and data.

Every country has their own, and they usually have pretty strict guidelines with who can access it.

its much easier to outsource this process to llms (or, much more likely, people manually checking it somewhere in Philippines)

Such a bummer, itch was my goto place for nsfw vns :(

The only hope I have for someone to put payment processors in their place (which I assume is giant Scrooge McDuck vaults full of gold coins) is EU bureacrats fining them. They must hate being subjected to foreign arbitrary guidelines, and unlike everyone else they have the power to fight back.

Disco Elysium, I’m a slut for well written text heavy games 🥵

also I need to get me some of those sock suspenders

So we get this tip, chief, water and power bills, big trash bags, the usual. We go in hot break the door kill the dog all by the book, and you wont believe what we see:

Santorini, Tiny Tim, Tomaccio, Big Beef, well lit in these pristine pots like its fucking Breaking Bad. All the while the owner’s blabbering how it’s a mistake and this isn’t for sale, we’ve all heard it.

So I put them down and go check the cellar just in case, and this is where the worst of it was. H1776-2023, the pesticide resistant variation, straight from Monsanto labs.

Naturally the sick bastard had an accident on the way, let the coroner do the booking.

noo, I used to run one but it’s long gone 😔

I might start a community or find one I like for post, that’d be fun

thanks for asking ^^

ALSO The North Star is actually three stars! The big one is 5.4 solar masses and 'uuge, a smaller one (1.39) is where our Jupiter is, and there’s another one (1.26) waay out there, like 80 times farther than Neptune. All that ~400 light years away from us.

Got funny names too, because in 18th century they discovered the existence of the outer one and called them Polaris A and Polaris B. Only to realize 150 years later “oh crap Polaris A is also two stars, gotta call them AA and AB now”

there are sea slugs who absorb chloroplast from plants and use it to photosynthesize (convert sunlight into nutrients), it’s called “kleptoplasty” how friggin cool is that look at these hungry goobers

Did you know ancient greeks called giraffes “camelopards”? Cause they look kinda like a cross between camels and leopards? neat huh

I just like talking, who else can I yap to?

Whenever I played shadowrun tabletop, bioluminescence was my goto quality. Gives you a small penalty (you are easier to shoot at) but its so hecking cool

You have activated my trap card!

You see, I was waiting for someone to bring up head-in-particle-collider-soviet-man only to raise you a different less known Vietnamese physicist who stuck his hands there instead!

there’s an ok Kyle Hill video about it if you’re interested (:

Licking most of the transuranium elements would entale sticking your tongue in a particle collider. Which I think is a fun Friday night 🤪

I’ll give it a try, but it better not put a bunch of horny on my front page 😠

AI will be amazing for manufacturing consent: whatever narrative you need to push/counter on this particular day, just add a sentence into the instruction and it’ll propagate everywhere, from generated to suggested content.

If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face — for ever.

I dream of the time when I’m qualified enough to demand a switch to full-time remote work

it’ll be nothing but programming socks all day every day UwU

I always assumed it’s spelled Wraitheon.

Raytheon is kinda lame.
