wearequeeraf.comWhy Niger explicitly criminalising asexuality is significant to everyone, regardless of identityTo understand Nigers asexuality criminalisation, we should see this law as part of a bigger – and growing – global trend among conservatives about 'traditional families'

Sony PlayStation peaked at the 60Gb PS3. Yes, the price sucked, the ps2 emulation was janky, & could be ass to develop on.. But it was three consoles in one, had free online gaming, was a CD, dvd AND Blu-ray player, & you could even connect it to a fucking PRINTER! Ps5 is digislop in comparison.

View full thread

Ps3 is still phenomenal to get secondhand if you like physical media. AND IF YOU WANNA PRINT SHIT LIKE A TOTAL NERD (nerds are hot, this goes out to all nerds—be a nerd, mog your local alpha male). Even the RADICAL right MaGamers love the ps3 🫲😩 🫱 Thank you for your attention to this matter. -LD

Also, this moment was great; also poignant, sad and infuriating in hindsight... The decline should be studied and taught in schools as a model of when to turn heel and kick sand backward as you leave them. Don't trust corporations.

... You could also get streaming services like Netflix & HBO, use an Internet browser on it, & buy digital if you wanted from the store, But DID I MENTION PRINTER? It wouldn't be a loss if the ps6 fails; I think it would be a blooming death knell to that sphere of the capital if it did.

As much as Phony has been scummy for decades already, the Ps3 was still for the customer, & the Ps5 was for the people in suits. An intent with the Playstation 3 was obv to make money with a seminal PRODUCT—which monetarily failed—but the PRODUCT itself is customer heaven. I love my PS3.

This should be the catalyst where the extant companies responsible for global warming face punitive action in court. Over a THOUSAND have died in this horrific event thanks to those gluttonous entities who COULD have drastically reduced or even stopped their greenhouse gas emissions.
