If you're going to die because you can't afford it, then does the risk really matter?

You used a VPN... Right?

Not too hard to achieve after seeing how dead set Musk is on killing Twitter...

I like to use the Wirecutter from the New York Times as a starting point, though I often ignore the products recommended because the links are typically to American online retailers that I'm unlikely to use. I pay more attention to the various aspects used to recommend their choices, then check other reviews from specialized hobbyist forums when available. Finally, if I find the product in a store I will ask to demo it before buying.

YouTube can be helpful if you can cut through the clutter or need to see head to head testing between your short list items. Don't blindly search there though because the algorithm is shit.

It's simply part of an effort to impose moral beliefs on a world that to them, appears to work without them. Bringing order to chaos. Kind of like the Christian beliefs underpinning such cruelty.

You could always don a stage persona like Marshmello or Daft Punk. Then nobody cares what you look like under the mask.

I've only bought two Nintendo games twice.

First was Super Smash Bros. Brawl because my first game disc got scratched by accident and became unreadable by the Wii console.

The second was Mario Kart 8 because of the Booster Course Pass even though I bought this game a decade ago on the Wii U with its DLC.

The BCP makes this game feel new again, like a Mario Kart 8.5.

Consider a sleep study. I found out I have sleep apnea this way, and did a follow up study with a CPAP machine where I just felt 100x better rested than usual. Ask your doctor for a referral.

This is disingenuous. Scammers have gotten smarter over the years and not everybody is technologically savvy. All it takes is a perfect storm of factors for even the most experienced people to fall prey to scams.

Stop victim blaming and focus on education. It's the only way this gets better.

You can minimize this by having a higher invincibility stat (another hidden stat that influences how many I-frames you get after spinning out).

Obligatory fuck /u/Spez.

This type of behavior needs to be regulated. Foreign interference isn't acceptable, and if Canada passes the online harms act then the ensuing regulator needs to handle situations like this or at least hand out massive fines for greed and indifference.
