I have time to play videogames, and it's my primary hobby - but I also don't date nor have any interest in having kids. I imagine it's a lot harder for people with romantic lives or kids.

Or you could just... watch better movies.

It's sad that so many people are willing to buy new devices with lithium ion batteries in them when much of the cobalt used in the production of them is mined via slave labor in Congo. I'm sorry but open world Mario kart and higher fps in your games isn't worth slavery.

Sure, but it makes it impossible for anyone that doesn't have a smartphone with Bluetooth to use them, and makes me have another account I don't want, among other issues. If the apartment's WiFi has issues, the machines lose connection and you can't use them, It's a vastly worse experience then using quarters or even just a card reader.

Why does every apartment I ever live in now never have laundry in unit, and requires you use a mobile app w/ an account to pay to do laundry. Why do I need to load a digital wallet that requires I pay a fee if I only want to add just the amount for one load? It's absurd. Let me put quarters in.

It's multifaceted, police do sometimes serve as a deterrent to or to protect people, but it's important to also recognize the position they hold isn't to help your average people as much as it is to maintain order for the benefit of the state. They are the internally focused gun that will just as soon shoot a killer as a black child walking down the street with a nerf gun. Either one serves the same purpose, stay in line or else, do what we say or else, they sow fear in the population while making the privileged feel some illusion of safety. They'll help you get your stolen car back, while also arresting a mother for stealing food from Walmart, or a homeless person for sleeping in their car. If you are any sort of minority, a police officer is a much greater threat than a help, and we've seen that in a history of high and low profile cases where police murder black people with absolutely no consequences, or in their use to suppress even the most by-the-book protests. Instead of solving the core problems that cause the majority of crimes, like poverty.

I've played a lot of Battle net games by installing battle net in lutris, then installing the game I want to play there. There's a lot of scripts you can find for installing particular games. I can't speak for whether HOTS works, but I played many many hours of WoW and Overwatch (before 2) that way. It's annoying using a launcher to run a launcher to play your game, but it works.

Happens, I'd bet money it was a multi-location stop and they were intending to deliver that neighbor's package and accidentally grabbed yours. It's easy to make a mistake here and there when you're delivering to thousands of houses in a given week.

What's crazy us, there's actually enough existing housing for everyone, at least in the US to have a home. It's just all owned by massive real estate corporations and left empty. The state doesn't need to build more housing, they just won't distribute what's there. But let's be real, they don't want people to stop being homeless. Our prison industry is private and for-profit, they want them to be homeless so they can criminalize and arrest them, so they can make them do cheap/free prison labor.
