One problem, Rome actually put effort into feeding the populace (ie the bread part).

I had it as a kid. I remember really liking it.

Rizz at least makes some sense as a shortened version of charisma.

Honestly, a couch with pockets seems useful.

Ah, going the George Bush route that the absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence. So, let me tell you about the unicorns on Mars. What, you can’t prove they’re not there.

Seriously though, we do have quite a few records from then since the Egyptian kings really wanted people to know about them. We also have archeological finds of where the workers lived. Also in them being given lavish tombs that regular Egyptians at the time didn’t. This stuff is really not hard to look up.

By all accounts the builders of the pyramids actually had nice places to live, and a higher quality of life than most Egyptians. In truth there is literally no evidence they were slaves outside of the story of Moses.

While I can agree with the 4K argument a bit for the hosting is expensive part, I do think it goes way beyond that or long videos. Youtube exists on a scale most don’t even realize. Tens of millions of people upload content every day. We’re talking thousands of hours worth of video every day.

Not to excuse YouTube for a lot of dumb decisions they made, but even on their best day the site just breaks even due to the cost of hosting.

The latter really wouldn’t surprise me. A service could be making four times the investment in profit and many investors will still push to get a few more cents out of it at any cost.

I’m pretty left leaning, and I’m against any fascist state trying to turn its neighbors into vassal states for its interest. And yes, that means being against a lot of what the US does as well.

Russia has done horrible things to the Ukrainian people for a good century now. I hope the Ukraine doesn’t get pressured into giving its land and people over to Putin. Any deal needs to give Ukraine all its territory back, and for Russia to keep its military off their border.

The main thing is simply being steady. You can get used to, and ignore a lower frame rate as long as it’s not jumping up and down.

I mean, yeah, if you aren’t into the core elements of a game you probably won’t be interested in the game. It’s like say, “I’m not impressed with the new Mario game. I don’t want to do platforming, and I don’t care about powerups or collecting things.”
