Didn't you know the man on the cross was Jesus's secret brother who was martyred in His name while Jesus fled to Japan, started a family, and died of old age?

Thanks, that was really necessary and greatly added to the conversation.

I see people servicing vending machines in public all the time, but the ones out in the city it happens at 2-5am. The ones in my building, it's roughly weekly at noon. Most of the ones I pass with any regularity don't have any IC functionality, but we still keep a Waon card around for when we're visiting nearby cities

Kei vehicles are exempt from most Japanese safety standards, because they're meant for city driving with max speeds of 40-60 kph and everyone driving them knows and acknowledges that you're just fucked if you get into an accident at speeds higher than that (and not doing great even at 40kph). It's an explicit trade of safety for lower cost

What aluminum cans are you getting that don't have a plastic lining?

Nah the actual in universe explanation is that Dobby is weird for wanting to be freed. Literal direct quote from Goblet of Fire

“But Harry set Dobby free, and he was over the moon about it!” said Hermione. “And we heard he’s asking for wages now!”

“Yeah, well, yeh get weirdos in every breed. I’m not sayin’ there isn’t the odd elf who’d take freedom, but yeh’ll never persuade most of ’em ter do it — no, nothin’ doin’, Hermione.”

Hermione looked very cross indeed and stuffed her box of badges back into her cloak pocket.

In a since-deleted post on her site Pottermore, the writer argued that while freeing the slaves was noble in isolation, being enslaved is what's better for the elves right now and they should stay that way until they politely ask to not be enslaved.

I don't know who the original writer is and I don't know of an archived copy before Pottermore ended and everything was transferred to Wizarding World, but I believe it's from an era of Pottermore where she wrote the blog entries herself

I mean, using a controller in and of itself is not suspect, but the model they used is the cheapest one you can get with a recognizable name and is known for being unreliable, which is absolutely a suspect decision to make when it's the only method of control

What does this post have to do with anything when it launched on PC the same day as PS5 and XSX? As well, a 10 year old pc would likely have a GTX 1070 or better and that's enough to run the game just fine?

On fresh installs before running the debloater scripts there's plenty of Try Candy Crush and it's already got Office 365 pinned and accidentally clicking that takes you to the store page, and there's some other shit I can't remember by name

It's definitely only some. ASRock motherboards almost always allow headless boot, MSI almost never do iirc, Gigabyte and Asus are really model specific

Missing one letter is a severe misspelling?
