  • Itaú, largest private bank in Brazil. Thanks to a 1995 law, all earnings from stock shares’ dividends are tax exempt. They’re always lobbying and pushing forward legislation to make the rich richer, to the point that they managed to found, together with other bankers, a political party, Novo, who fiercely defend libertarian economic values and sidestep individual liberties.

    Second would be Microsoft. They took over the computer world in the 90s and didn’t pay for their crimes. All they did was try and pretend nothing bad happened and that they totally wouldn’t ever do anything similar again, pinkie promise. Nevermind the office2007 standard never fully working on alternative software, nevermind microsoft teams, pay no mind to them buying out github, nevermind their shit being inside pretty much every government around the world. They hold absurd amounts of power.

    Third place goes to all non state owned petrol companies. Thank you for your continuous funding of bogus research against scientific climate facts and, more importantly, in funding assholes the world over to ensure climate change and global warming go full throttle. Fuck you with a hot exhaust pipe.




  • Mostly history documentaries below:

    • Fall of Civilization (takes forever to upload stuff, but it’s always superb quality)
    • Kings and Generals (wars, historic battles and the context surrounding them)
    • Study of Antiquity and the Middle Ages (several videos show the very likely migrations of different peoples in ancient times)
    • Ancient Americas (north, central and south americas)
    • Real Time History (most videos are ~27 minutes, but the Franco Prussian war is a whopping 6 hours and worth it)

  • Regarding Fable, get the original first (fable anniversary on steam). Since you’re big on JRPGs, you might want to check out Ys, Trails and FATE series. You will definitely want to check out Metaphor ReFantazio

    You can also experiment some of the “only on PC” or “best on PC” games like Cities Skylines or Planet Coaster (try the 1st game for both) - neither has an available demo, but will definitely run on your computer. Wait for a sale, shouldn’t take too long. Factorio, on the other hand, has a demo that lets you experiment and get a good feel of what to expect of the rest of the game. If you’d like something comparatively simpler and better looking, try Satisfactory instead (no demo)

    On the RTS front, you can actually play the first Starcraft 2 campaign for free, though you need Battle.Net instead of Steam. That game can be a good introduction to the genre and, if you enjoy it, I can point out some other games in the same vein.

    A personal recommendation of mine is Palworld. I like the gameplay loop.

    Also, please learn to use commas.

  • If you’re already dating someone, explaining the situation, or rather, telling your own stories of the kinds of shit you had to deal with, should give them a good picture of the situation and of your character as well. If your date thinks they’d rather not keep in touch with you after that, it may be for the best for both of you.

    While I thankfully had a mostly common family, my last ex had a very abusive mother who was extremely rude to her own daughter and would 180 into a flower whenever talking to me. It was an astonishing dichotomy and I always understood why my ex wanted to stay away from her house as much as possible.
