All aboard the LainTrain - We all love Lain!

  • 3 months at the absolute most, likely significantly less, even after cutting out all "luxuries" like paying for internet/phone/electricity/water.

    70% of that would go on rent for my 1-bed flat. And no - I don't live in a big city. I earn more than most. I spend less than most. I don't use any subscription services and I pirate everything. I don't drink, and I never go out to pubs, cinema, (insert paid activity here) because all of that is way too expensive.

    The UK is fucked.

    Literally the only thing that decides how long I can live is whether or not you rent - whatever you do or don't do as personal responsibility practically does not matter unless you own a house.

    The small variations in rent price are also irrelevant, I used to pay more for less, in the grand scheme of things the variance only amounts to £100-200 per year and usually depends on how much you can tolerate free penicillin on the walls.

    The blame is only on boomers who hoard property, jack up rents and collect benefits from the gov't off worker taxes. Virtually no one else is to blame apart from capitalism more generally.

    The same boomers will also soon elect the alt-right and things will get a lot worse and everywhere else seems to be on the same general trajectory.

    I used to dream of a utopia like Star Trek. Now 28 days later looks like a utopia.

  • Nah as far as I'm aware the CEO is not resigning and there are no leadership changes. They're mostly laying off artists from game studios, software QA, testers, devs they think they can replace with AI vibe coding etc.

  • Careful with that one buster, benzos and booze are a fast track to a forever snooze.

    Edit: ok my bad, zopiclone is a nonbenzo after I double checked but don't mess too hard with GABA receptor stuff, those cheeky cunts have a way of messing back with ye.

  • Yeah but they seem lame, not tasty and they give people the shits. Literal corposlop.

  • This has been my experience. I find nutritional science incredibly boring, I've tried many times to get excited about it, but I just can't seem to find an 'in' with it to make it my 2-week special interest and learn the basics properly.

    At this point the bar is "if you can't explain in one sentence, written, what meal I can make for cheap in less than 1-2 min of active effort and no more than 10 min total prep/cooking time with no skills, effort or culinary knowledge that will be tasty to give me dopamine for the day and feed me for the entire day, I'm not interested".

    I just eat bacon, pork sausages, eggs, and throw in some kale, spinach & watercress. I've cut out all bread, sweets, snacks and alcohol. It's probably not healthy but fuck it we all gotta go sometime. Right now though, feels great, I lost a ton of weight. Hard not to overdo it on the salt added to eggs but I keep a close eye on it.

    The only negative I've noticed it as I often get hit with random low blood sugar fainting like symptoms after my 2nd-3rd coffee, later I realized I basically was consuming no sugar at all, so now I gulp down 4 red bulls a day with my elvanse for breakfast and the problem went away. MH got way better too.

    For dinner I have some frozen pizza or something like that that I can make without any effort or time, but lately it's way way way too much effort to cook/eat.

    Wish there was some "nutri-slop 3000" type magic pill that just gave me all nutrients I need for the day so I wouldn't have to worry about this shit.

    This is all meant with no offense to nutritionists/scientists, way I see it, y'all doing god's work. Literally. If that lazy mfer bothered existing or got off his ass we wouldn't be cursed with this shit fr.

    Edit: Wow what's with the downvotes? Le Reddit hivemind is upset?

  • Trains stay winning

  • On raspberry pi host VPN

    On strawberry eat

  • Holding cell in a North Korean political prison, awaiting sham trial and execution following crimes of wrongspeak against dear leader. Only £99.99 on TUI!

  • Because few artists use CC as-is, because they have a petit bourgeoise mindset and are largely cutthroat narcissists who only care about "making it". I hope sincerely the breadline teaches them a lesson.

  • Might be more accessible than gopherholes and gemini gems(?)

  • It's wonderful, I haven't had my YT history on in forever. Only use the subscription page which I have bookmarked.

  • You know when gizmodo reads like harddrive that it's some good shit lol

  • True, if anything he has less of a chance of getting a coffee at the MS office because the coffee machines will be out of order... "Kindly I'm Sorry sirs its on windows"

  • They are probably using Xiaomi which is based in China, using AOSP with whatever mods they throw on it, which isn't based anywhere and is open source, or it could be Huawei too.

  • I will create a masto instance where this is mandatory to counter balance

  • I haven't used Windows at work in years for anything, not for cloud hosting, not for on-prem, not for employee machines etc etc. until the cost-cutters came in and forced Teams and other Microsoft crap to squeeze the market during inflation. The company is just waiting to be killed off now.

  • I donate to 404media and like them a lot, but how do I set it up so that I can see full versions of linked articles?

  • We email now and then. It's enough.

  • Jfc some people got some fucked up dads in the comments here, leaving, slamming people through doors and table legs. My dad was okay, he had a bad attitude but I think he understood dedication and hard work and taught me to love it too. Haven't spoken in years, but I think about him now and again.
