Are you sure the US is a developed country?

About 4 years ago, when we had a massive heatwave, we’ve bought an aircon without a second thought. We don’t want kids anyway, and if the rich and wealthy are hellbent on destroying the planet anyway, I’m gonna at least live out my days in relative comfort.

Just shutdown my PS5 for good until it will be moddable, and upgraded my mid-tier PC and switched to Bazzite to use it as a game console. After getting used to the new OS, everythings been flawless so far, I’m happy I’ve made the switch.

And a shitload of people still bought it, even after the discless, digital-only fiasco.
