there is dorms at some unis but they aren’t very big. most people live at home or rent something nearby themselves

the proportion of terminally online losers who would actually waste their time doing it seem to be higher here than other places though

twisties make you gay, because life’s pretty straight without twisties

when I finished high school and was talking with friends about going to uni, a few of us were talking a out renting a place together when we got into uni to be close (instead of 2 hours away like we were). another friend we should never do that because people would think we are gay. obligatory he is a Christian fundamentalist who is highly likely gay himself

the recent avatar game is a great example of actually hitting the mark visually and superficially (probably one of the better looking games I’ve ever played) and the physics and gameplay in the world are pretty damn good. but people complain the story is boring. and yeah it’s not amazing. I don’t think it’s terrible, and it’s a game really built to explore the environment rather than complete missions.

it’s near impossible to get that perfect game that hits every single button possible. I truly think we gamers need to settle down a bit as a whole. Sure buggy messes that are unplayable are not something we should tolerate, but I think we need to stop treating everything that isn’t perfect as a pile of shit

if I recall correctly, one of Melbourne’s major outbreaks was because one of the quarantine security guards was fucking a quarantined patient

Karl Pilkington. he would do a great job of complaining about every minor inconvenience I’ve dealt with

I can’t see any way the republicans would endorse him as candidate from prison. they are beyond cooked, but even that is too low for them

the pervasiveness and scale of these chemicals in every natural chain make me wonder if Children of Men wasn’t that far off a realistic possibility

alien isolation is still too scary for me to finish. and it’s not even just the xenomorph that keeps me away, the synthetics are nightmare fuel

residential property should not be able to be bought by corporations, there is no benefit in allowing that to happen at all

healthy people buy medicine to stay healthy.

Dead people do not.

profit has been tasted, now unfettered greed takes over

its possible. our southern summer is lining up to be not as warm as initially expected so there’s a chance

bringing stupid conflicts to other parts of the world

I always love it when yanks try to tell people who live in countries what it’s really like in Said country.

bonus points when it’s delusional tankie nonsense from someone who desperately needs to touch grass some time this decade

my wife watches a lot of youtube via PS4, so ads aren’t blockable. but she discovered when an ad starts playing if you go to the ‘i’ icon, select you don’t want to see this ad, then click resume video, the video starts playing again. not exactly a blocker and requires those manual steps, but beats watching 30 second unskippable ads every 5 minutes
