BrianTheeBiscuiteer, to asklemmy in What are the best steps to reduce the wealth of billionaires?

A wealth tax does seem warranted for billionaires. I don’t like the idea of taxing something inert but honestly that’s how they make money. They borrow against thousands of shares at a time and pay zero taxes on the loan.

BrianTheeBiscuiteer, to asklemmy in So is the US slipping into Civil War?

Dumbasses once again saying, “Now is the time!” when they’re clearly outnumbered and outgunned.

BrianTheeBiscuiteer, to asklemmy in Other than Lemmy, what are you doing tonight?

Enjoying a birthday dinner. Well, trying to. Had a sore throat for days and all I want to do is sleep.

BrianTheeBiscuiteer, to piracy in Prime is adding ads to their streaming service

I paid for 15 days of Real Debrid and other than running into a lot of non-English streams it’s been great. If I can get it convenient to download shows automatically (I’ve heard of ways to integrate with arr services) I might start cancelling services.

BrianTheeBiscuiteer, to asklemmy in What's a food you love, that isn't worth making from scratch?

Never made any before but broth doesn’t seem worth it unless you make a big batch, even then I don’t have the room for a big ass pot or a gallon of broth in my fridge/freezer.

BrianTheeBiscuiteer, to linux in The 9 Smallest Linux Distros That Are Super Lightweight

The lack of systemd was something I couldn’t get over. I mean the alternative service managers are good but a few apps I really need have a strong dependency on systemd and the adapter packages just weren’t working. Otherwise I highly recommend AntiX. It made my old netbook feel useful again.

BrianTheeBiscuiteer, to asklemmy in What songs do you like that are in a language which you don't speak?

Too much kpop and jpop to list, but Kent (swedish) has a lot of good songs: Stanna Hos Mig, 400 Slag

BrianTheeBiscuiteer, to asklemmy in How do I stop a crush from developing further?

Didn’t hear any compelling reasons as to why an actual relationship would be bad. Having a relationship with an authority figure (teacher, doctor, therapist, etc) is taboo and often illegal, but if there’s really a connection there it should be doable to change up schedules or find new instruction so there’s no conflict anymore. Most of my crushes though have been very superficial and a few conversations dispelled the fantasy.

BrianTheeBiscuiteer, to baldurs_gate_3 in [SPOILER] Am I playing Baldur's Gate wrong?

Take a look at some guides for your character types. You might be doing a bit more role playing and not enough combat specing. I mean not everyone in Faerun can hold their own with a goblin or giant spider. So make sure you’re not making all the wrong choices by mistake.

Also, I got wrecked in a few battles of Act 1 as well. Anytime I fight Githyanki I’m thinking, “Well, there goes half my health potions and revive scrolls.” Don’t be afraid of save scumming and don’t be afraid to stack the deck in your favor. Long rest, drink elixirs, apply buffs, strategically place exploding barrels, and summon familiars if you expect a hard battle. And unless you’re fighting a “boss” or an enemy that has lines of dialogue don’t get concerned about pushing things off cliffs. With most you’re not permanently losing good gear.

BrianTheeBiscuiteer, to asklemmy in What are some interesting thinking skills or strategies you've picked up from programming (or anywhere else, but try to stick to programming for now)

I’m good at breaking down problems into small chunks and not getting overwhelmed by a big project. Do I have the motivation to finish these tasks? That’s a different question.

BrianTheeBiscuiteer, to asklemmy in What physical features do you find attractive on a person that would be considered unattractive by your culture's beauty standards?

Pubic hair in general I’d say. It’s natural, it’s unique, it’s nothing to be ashamed of.

BrianTheeBiscuiteer, to linux in What's (are) the funniest/stupidest way(s) you've broken your linux setup?

Ha! Came to say this too!

I tried to uninstall Python because I was just trying to minimize junk on my computer and I usually code in Bash, Node or Java.

BrianTheeBiscuiteer, to linux in Which terminal emulator do you use?

Sounds like there’s a ton of options but this is the first one I’ve found that supports copy-on-highlight and that’s a must for me.

BrianTheeBiscuiteer, to asklemmy in If you could have any game remade by a studio of your choice, who would you want working on what?

I don’t know what studio (Rockstar maybe) but I’d love a revamp of Freedom Fighters. I reinstall and play through the that game every few years. It’s really almost perfect as-is but graphics could be modernized and AI could be a little less stupid.

BrianTheeBiscuiteer, to asklemmy in What do you think is the coolest designed sci-fi gun?

Yes, the Lawgiver instantly came to mind!
