  • Type N might not be the best but it was like a gift from heavens here in Brazil. We had no standard before it so most outlets would take one or two unsafe options; most houses would not ground their outlets, people would yank out the ground pin from plugs to make them fit; washing machines would often come with a completely different plug that some houses would just have a different outlet for, while others would use adapters. And so many other issues.

    Nowadays you don’t even need to see what you’re doing because you can just stick your hand into outlets to feel where it is and insert the plug blindly without any risk.



  • What people don’t realize is that the Dems have generally been pretty happy with the way things were going. They don’t mind losing elections from time to time if that means they continue to occasionally win without changing in any way.

    It’s basically a fight of demands and consequences. If the people want a better government and threaten not to vote for Dems if they are not gonna get it, the Dems have to choose between improving or losing one election. If the Dems want to stay the same, the people have to choose between letting them stay the same or getting something much worse from the GOPs.

    The question then becomes: on the long term, who can better endure the consequences of their choice, the people or the Democratic party?

    If you want the Dems to lose and learn a lesson, you (and everyone else around you) will need them to continue losing until they do learn, otherwise you’ll be facing consequences without any benefits.


  • As someone with no interest in predominantly NSFW games, it does bother me a bit that that is the most common type of game that show up for me unless I disable NSFW completely.

    But my problem is exclusively with the algorithm and not with those games. I’m surprised that in 2025 a 200+ hour rpg with one implied sex scene may get tagged with the same ‘NSFW’ category as a Sex Simulator type of game, with no way to hide one without also hiding the other.

    All itch.io had to do was create a “monetization-unfriendly” tag and aplly it to those games and hide them behind an opt-in toggle (with some proper notification for current users). They could even target their ads based on that toggle and get even happier advertisers with it.
