Yeah, they sure don't make 'em like they used to. My mother's kitchen had a 1984 JCPenney branded microwave (with no turntable) that worked right up until 2024, the original light bulb inside dying sometime in the 2010s.

On the one hand, I remember hating it because it didn't heat evenly, on the other, it was certainly built like a shit brickhouse if it lasted forty years.

well, shit, now I need to find a new place to shitpost from that isn't run by morons. Thanks for providing one for so long.

Whatever this person is smoking, snorting, swallowing, injecting, and/or boofing, I want some. I'm already self-medicating with as much pot as I can afford to get through this assclown fuckery we call an administration; I want/need stronger drugs that enable this kind of magical thinking and optimism.

seems more likely, being it's 4chan; that they're 100% aware and in-favor of the slaves, just that they believe they'll always be in that lucky 10%. Same goes for idolizing Super Earth -- it's never them that'll be sent to a freedom camp, until it happens, it's always something that happens to someone else who "probably deserved it"

you know, you gotta give the Bush government credit, it took at least a little longer for everyone to go "There weren't any nukes, there wasn't any imminent threat, this is stupid" than it did this time. somehow, Dubya and literally Satan wearing a Cheney suit managed to be more competent and discreet about pushing bullshit narratives on the American public than the Cheeto.

Think about that for a minute.

These clowns make Junior and Cheney's excursion into the sandbox look like a masterful, well-executed plan.

Also holy shit, if this is the bullshit they're feeding us now, wait until things get really bad even worse. Once they get their all-encompassing official state media it's gonna get wackier and wackier reading the news.

The Framework 12 lists "MPP 2.0 and USI 2.0 stylus support", so you can use other pens with it, I think. Your stylus won't be repairable, but perhaps if you complain at Framework loudly enough they might eventually release a higher quality stylus themselves.

If it's a limitation of the machine's hardware/the protocol they support, complain at them for that instead. I'm not an artist so I don't actually find myself needing/using a pen often, thus I don't know whether that means it has good or bad pen support, but it certainly sounds like it supports SPs.

The Framework 12 actually seems really ideal for this, being that it has a 360 degree hinge and works properly with Linux.

It's also expensive as fuck, but then, you can repair and upgrade it, and I've heard Surface tablets are an absolutely miserable experience to try repairing. So up to you if the upfront cost is worth less pain down the road.

it continues to amaze me that we can cure diseases, go to the moon, reflect on all of human history, and still the "best" we can collectively achieve in societal progress is elevating a select few while crushing the majority underfoot. The means of repression differs from feudalism to capitalism to communism, but the underlying failure remains constant: someone benefits, most do not.

I honestly don't remember, a cursory search told me $70 but regardless of which it wasn't worth it then and it's barely worth $15 now, from what I know of the game. Tons of different games (No Man's Sky, Outer Worlds 1 & 2, Elite: Dangerous to name a few) do different parts of Starfield 100x better than Starfield does it, often for less money. I can have a far more enjoyable time playing a mixture of those games than by playing a half-baked Bethesda attempt that does all of it -- from the roleplaying to the space exploration to combat in space -- badly.
