For context, my account is over 15 years old, it has over $6k spent, and almost all of that is in the last decade. And it still comes out to under $50 a month, with thousands of hours played across a bunch of games.

For comparison, I know people who spend much more on their hobbies with car, bicycle, home theater equipment, etc. each year

It’s literally been decades since I’ve seen it, but I seem to remember that he got upset regularly when he was forced to participate with the family instead of playing outside.

As the old saying goes: Don’t feed the trolls.

Replying as if half the comment doesn’t exist and putting the word intelligent in quotes is a classic antagonizing move by trolls to make people try to engage them.

I checked memory beta(which includes non-canon but licensed work like some comics, Star-Trek Online and similar) and here’s a list of hosts with known information about spouse or child(ren):

• Lela, 1st host, 21st century: Wife with husband, two children.

• Tobin, 22nd century: Male trill with one child, no spouse listed.

• Audrid, 23rd century: Wife with symbiont husband, two children.

• Torias, 23rd century: Husband with symbiont wife

The info box lists six marriages and nine children. So I’m guessing not everything is accurate or not all sub-pages updated.

It’s banned in several European countries like Germany, France, Portugal, Spain, Belgium, Norway, Iceland and Greece. And it’s pending legislation in several others. As to why it wasn’t EU law already: Some of the legislations are pretty new so it wasn’t considered as something the majority would approve until they started implementing their own laws. On top of that several EU countries have pretty strong homophobic communities.

Countries like Poland. In 2020 the EU was witholding funding for parts of Poland, because they established “LGBT-free zones”. And the last one was only made invalid by the Administrative court last month.

He looks like one of those guys that make “stalactites” under his desk.

Get your head out of your ass and learn to read. No one likes the “Uhm akshually, that’s not technically true” -guy. Especially when they’re techinically wrong(it’s not talking about no-logging for your entire browsing session, just that the VPN doesn’t store logs of your usage. And that is very much a thing, as proven by this court case).

Tom’s Guide has nothing to do with Tom, and it’s not for privacy oriented people.

Case in point: In the article they link their top 5 VPN picks for 2025. Those being NordVPN, Surfshak, ExpressVPN, Proton and PIA. And for some reason the site has a hate-boner for Mullvad, and keeps mocking it in this article, and others for not having all “features” the others do, not paying for audits, etc.

A little context:

• It was bought just after WW2.

• It’s not an original, original. It’s the 1300 version, not the 1215 or 1225.

• It’s one of 25 known originals

• It’s one of 3 known to still exist outside of Britain.

He’s a software engineer, I’d bet on him automating it in a way that it’s been flagged by commonly used recruting tools and is auto-rejected.

Some of those tools also use LLM now, and they’re regularly found to be flawed and turning away wanted applicants.

The project is backed by multiple ministers and has the support of other Nordic transport ministers, it’s in cooperation with NATO, and the EU will pay for half the project and do 30% of the work. It’s also several years away from being close to starting.

And it has absolutely zero to do with how the trains run or how modern they are, it’s about making a new connection to the rest of Europe for ease of defense. It’s not just about cutting off Russia, it’s about getting tanks and such in by train. As well as having a commercial connection to strengthen trade.

You literally sound like a Russian disinformation actor who wants to hold Finland back.

Have you not paid attention to politics?

The new generation is all hopeful and bright eyed. If you give them a few years they’ll be sleeping on piles of lobby money and talk big about helping the people, while voting the opposite.

Oh, it opens with a 6min unskippable video. instead of an article, on a website that still has the line “Today’s Paper” at the top of the page.

At this point I’m convinced that the NYT is living in the 2000s.

The average Hollywood executive is really dumb, but they tend to be great talkers and networkers.

People need to stop acting like it’s some scary thing to know.

Don’t just open it, see thousands of dollars spent, react like it is some huge expenditure and close it without thinking things through. Don’t forget that the account is years old and when you do some simple division it going to come out to $30 a month or some number that is reasonable for you to spend on a hobby that you have spent hundreds to thousands of hours enjoying.

To be fair, Ben & Jerry’s is owned by Unilever. And if one of those leaders showed up it might have been different, but they’re mostly British and don’t care.

(For reference, there’s more than a 50% chance you have some of their products in your home, as they “serve” over 3bill people a day. With brands like Knorr, Jif, Hellman’s, Lipton, Axe, Q-Tips, Dove, Vaseline, and many, many more. They are the world largest ice cream manufacturer.If you look at your local brands, at least one probably has the “heartbrand” logo, indicating it’s owned by them. )

They spent a lot of money developing it, and now they have to justify that money. So they’re going to keep pushing it until some idiotic manager doesn’t have red numbers in their spreadsheet. Regardless of what people want.

I hate modern MBAs.

If I pay for a service and get ads, that service is dead to me forever.

Why are they removing people from planes leaving the country to detain them.

Wouldn’t it be better to just do the European tour and then stay in Europe at this point?

Because it’s just nazism. They want to imprison and harm non-white people, and they’re using “immigration” as an excuse.

It’s literally just a game to them.
