I guess it’s a good thing I hadn’t noticed it being down yet but I am also a big slop connoisseur. I have no technical expertise to offer but am quite interested in its continued existence and would happily contribute for any hosting costs
I got my gf to try Victoria 3 and now she’s totally hooked. I think I may have found the one pals 
Making your own kimchi is quite easy! Not sure you’d use enough to justify it but it’s a fun weekend project. It’s basically just fermented cabbage with chili powder, I don’t think mixing spice into already fermented sauerkraut would work well though. If you want suggestions for “proper” dishes you can make with the basics my staples are bibimbap, bokkumbap, mapo tofu, laziji, nikujaga, and Japanese curry. All very easy and certainly representative of KR/CN/JP cuisine (China obv has huge variety but I prefer sichuan dishes)
Impersonating feds to hand out theory (in gmod rp servers ofc) would be insanely based
I don’t know where you are or what types of cuisine you’re interested in trying but I’ve been able to find decent Asian grocery stores pretty much everywhere in the US, Latam, and Europe. Just getting some basic stuff like gochujang, kimchi, mirin, dashi, sichuan peppers, doubanjiang, sesame oil, etc. opens up a TON of fun dishes. I’ve recently been having a blast cooking Japanese food with my girlfriend, mirin and hondashi are really the only things needed to transform local ingredients into quite authentic tasting Japanese dishes. Same principle applies with Korean and Chinese, you only need a few key ingredients and then you can go wild and cook pretty much anything
Well originally all the TCJA cuts were set to expire at the end of this year, I imagine in their hubris they never expected trump to win again and extend them indefinitely. Biden was more than happy to reap the benefits while he was in office while not having to piss off the rich by making a show of ending it early. He could cope and say that it’s only for a few more years and the dang parliamentarian would make it too hard to repeal anyway. It’s a classic example of them letting republicans take the heat for things they also want and then setting them up for some super progressive tax policy like 21% corporate tax rates when it’s their turn to hold the bag. I do genuinely think they never expected to lose a presidential election again after trump 1 so the plan was to just let it run its course instead of, you know, actually doing anything while in office
Obama was so incompetent he let eight 9/11s happen under his presidency 
That’s pretty cool, great find! Did you just find it in a dry riverbed?
🇷🇴 uhhh I have no horse in the race but from my time here I think Eastern Europeans are pretty chill. It’s probably better to have some dissenting voices in that echo chamber rather than letting them fall into a solipsistic nightmare?
I hate how they feel so untouchable and act with complete disregard for any kind of humanity. And I hate even more how the “civilized world” continues to prove them right
It is blocked, yes. I tried to shitpost in Guangzhou but couldn’t 
I didn’t really feel like an adult until I lived in a different country for a year and had to figure out literally everything on my own. Kind of a sink or swim situation where I forced myself to adapt without any safety net to rely on. I think just psychologically distancing oneself from family and friends is enough without going that far though, properly getting in the headspace of fully shouldering all responsibilities and decision making goes a long way. Understand that you truly are free and can steer your life in the direction you choose, there are countless material constraints along the way but they are all surmountable if you make the effort.
Don’t give a fuck about what anyone thinks and try to deprogram all the silly social expectations that have been beaten into us our whole lives. You are worth more than your labor and all the other social signifiers we’re told to value. Good vibes and genuine respect are worth far more than anything else. At the end of it all the only thing that matters is if you had a good time and hey, hopefully you were able to help others have a good time too.
Oblivion remastered does look really good sometimes, especially the character models. I thought I’d miss the charm of the original goofy potato faces but am consistently blown away by how good they look now nearly every time I talk to an npc. It’s everything I’d ever want in a remaster, great visual upgrade and minor qol fixes while leaving nearly all the original jank. If only it wasn’t such a pain to mod…
