I hate how many games' achievements are just "what if you played the game, but in a less fun way"

You hate cookies because tracking privacy annoying.
I hate cookies because I forgot path=/ in one place and now hundreds of browsers are sending me two values for the same cookie and i have no clue how to retroactively fix that other than renaming the cookie.
We are not the same. Or maybe we are. I can't bloody tell.

Great news everyone! You can't use a VPN to access openvpn.net
about moving from the US, what to expect (this is going to be harsh and potentially confronting, but realistic)
I'm not going to tell you not to move out of the US, and I will certainly provide assistance to do so where I can if asked.
However, you have to realize: things are not rosy in Europe. Fascism does not respect borders, and we are dealing over here with the exact same fascism that you're dealing with over there, it's just at a different stage and of a slightly different flavour. In many cases it's the literal same group of people, working across borders.
Which is to say: you *will not* escape fascism and live happily ever after by moving to Europe. It doesn't matter which country. You won't. You're going to have to fight fascism, one way or another, it's not optional. If not today, then in a few years.
If you need to move to get some breathing room for a while and prepare for that fight, that is okay! But you're still going to have to engage in that fight eventually, and I'm not just talking about violent encounters here - it takes all stripes.
So... if you're planning to move to Europe, you need to be making a plan on how you're going to fight fascism once you've moved, ideally one that includes fighting it in the US too.
And there are going to be people to support you here, but there are going to be people to support you in the US too. Think carefully about your options and what you can do locally before deciding to move, and whether you cannot do more in an environment you already know.

Advice for Americans considering immigration
If you have not seriously looked into this before, be prepared to discover that this process is bureaucratic, slow, infuriatingly difficult, often requires a job offer in advance, often requires formal education. It favours people with means and is nearly impossible if you are ill or disabled, even if you have family.
In all likelihood, it will be easier to move to another US state than to leave the country.

On my way home I saw one of the most Glasgow things possible
More handwritten text not shown in these 4 pictures:
• The left side says “Place your unwanted potentially useful bitsa shite here”
• The top flap says “If properly cared for this box should last 36 months in any weather”

Shetani
wording help
Seeking a replacement phrase for "bless this person/thing", expressing I like what they are doing, I support them, I wish them the best, etc. without invoking religion.
Ideally equally short.
@bumblebeedc@strangeobject.space I do enjoy it a lot, though most of that isn't because of the coaster part... and yeah, I feel like you could make an entire documentary out of the mishaps with building that ride alone
@Yuki I get your site; perhaps they pointed it at an IP address that once hosted their site, and now hosts yours?

For those who need a break from the bleak, that fresh box of cat you ordered has arrived. Enjoy with reckless abandon.
@bumblebeedc@strangeobject.space As I understand it, the test runs were scheduled/required by the Efteling, not Intamin, and I imagine that's probably why it worked out well :P
@blaurascon Perhaps an off-the-wall suggestion, but if you can't find any place selling this, and nobody else is able to find it either, perhaps it's worth asking a local metalworking shop if they can custom make one for you? As it seems to be just a bracket with no further mechanical components
@blaurascon So I did find a listing on a Russian site that claims to still have it for sale: https://avto.pro/part-4724858AA-CHRYSLER-363/?srsltid=AfmBOoqFpbo-ETPdzd795CI3gsUJFOhEuc4ouNUOQUfOCTc5QcRXJXo2
But every US seller I was able to find is also reporting 'discontinued' and I am unable to find any leads on 'compatible' parts 😐
@blaurascon If it's any help, part seems to be made by Mopar originally: https://store.mopar.com/oem-parts/mopar-suspension-bracket-right-4724858aa (name showed up in some other listings too)
