Can you organize people to write a bunch of emails complaining about the university counsel?

Does it do images? People could show one another their genitals, it might be a fun surprise!

Haha, nice!

Oh, so you just take the guts out and build in the same case? Well where's the fun in that 🤣

Jk, I would've built in my old case this time except I'm sprucing that PC up to give to a friend.

This case is the Montech King 95 Pro (comes with the fans pre-installed, non-pro version comes without). I definitely recommend it, it's easy to build in and the price is very reasonable.

Exactly... I had the resources so I went for it because my other was in that stage too.

Check out my new one!

Shiny new PC built in a "fish tank" style glass sided case with mostly white components and cables, large fans with red/purple/blue lighting, and a sweet CPU cooler with a display that shows the CPU and GPU temps and usage.

At least things are better than earlier this year?

It's not great, but I built a new rig last month because who knows what will happen going forward with prices and availability.

"excessive" chemical munitions? "Excessive"??! What would be the right amount of chemical munitions for people to breathe when they leave their homes to run errands?

Samantha Michaels @samanthamichaels.bsky.social · 6d

So much tear gas that people who aren't even protesting are getting sick when they leave their homes to run errands: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

ICE is hounding Chicago area locals with excessive chemical munitions

Agents are firing tear gas and pepper balls on lawful protesters, lawsuits say, sickening even uninvolved residents.

Simple, people decided in advance when to meet up and *actually showed up at that time*

I remember watching in real time as that social norm disintegrated. It fucking sucked.

It’s an age-old “pyramid scheme.”

A tweet by UcKema reads:
“> It is 2025 BC. I am a soldier from one of the outlying provinces called to defend the pyramid in Memphis.
It is 2025 AD. I am a soldier from one of the outlying provinces called to defend the pyramid in Memphis.”
Below is a photo of soldiers in uniform with “Military Police” patches standing outside the glass Pyramid Arena in Memphis, Tennessee.

Why isn't it? Couldn't it be? I think it sounds fun to read about.

CK3 is - maybe? - slightly less overwhelming than Stellaris, lol. Also occasionally you randomly murder your son during a hunt.

(It was fine, the next in line was a genius and I preferred him as heir anyhow)

yearly reminder to people insisting that we view Christopher Columbus as "a man of his time" that *the people responsible for the Spanish Inquisition* thought Columbus was out of pocket

Thomas Lecaque @tlecaque.bsky.social · 1d

Christopher Columbus was dragged back to Spain in chains by a crusading knight, convicted of tyranny and immeasurable cruelty, pardoned by Isabella but banned from returning to Hispaniola.

Fuck Columbus.

Like I wanna be able to set a game down and come back 6 months or a year later and have it not be completely different!

But I'm also a sucker for that fiddliness you mention.

I see EU3 is available cheap or the subscription for 4... Maybe I'll try one of them

Erm is that....good? haha

I've got Stellaris and CK3. I liked them both a lot but Stellaris was so overwhelming and when I finally got it somewhat figured out it would change with an update.

CK3 slightly less so but still problematic
