does steam currently have a way to tell you if a game's minimum system requirements (or recommended sys requirements) are too high for your pc? to me that would seem like a better way to handle this overall, tho this is really cool too

(side note, but why do so many games show the min specs as specific hardware instead of actual specs?? "minimum cpu: intel i5-3040whatever" thanks but if you have an amd processor this means nothing. at least if you have an intel cpu you can apply the old technique of Bigger Means Better (which is not always true but most of the time it is))

tbh, the real reason to use paper straws instead of plastic is that they’re much more biodegradable, not so much the CO2 use. we should use way less plastic in general, imo

and it bears mentioning that the CO2 released by private jets still pales in comparison to what the airline industry produces; the average global northerner’s overseas holiday is still very destructive for the environment (tho obviously not as much as a rich fuck using a private jet)

according to this wiki article, over its lifetime a plastic straw will release 1,46 grams of CO2, while a paper straw will release 1,38 grams of CO2. that’s a saving of 0,08 grams.

and according to this article, a private jet releases 4,9 kilograms of CO2 per mile.

so: assuming you are using one straw per day, a year of using paper straws instead of plastic straws offsets about 0,006 miles of one private jet, or a bit more than 10 meters.

that’s fun.

because it’s not about being "pro-life", it’s about controlling women’s bodies

because they’re trying to manufacture consent for a war with Iran

you have it backwards, israel is an american puppet; not the other way around

still works tho, why would america restrain its imperialist genocidal outpost? creating chaos in the Middle East is its raison d’être

what kind of country are you creating

one that doesn’t take away the rights of her people

if you want so bad to live in a "civilized" country where Indigenous people don’t bother you with their existence, go back to england you fucking colonizer

oooh sorry I misread you 😅

but yea you’re right, it’s really gross

what are you talking about? Palestinians are not colonizers, israelis are

*colonizers

it’s not a human thing, it’s a colonizer thing

do you still benefit from those wrongs? if so, yes, you should pay for them

the US is easily the worst but most of the imperial core is complicit too
