  • Be careful with torrents, you can get a strike from your ISP if you don't have a VPN.

    You can download it directly from some sites which you wont need a VPN for, I don't know if it's against the rules to link them, but google "psa rips" and for the love of god turn on your ad blocker.

    Edit: fuck it . mods can remove this if it's against the rules


  • Is Persona 5 Royal an absolutely necessary upgrade? I have P5 on the PS4 but I haven't gotten the chance to play it properly yet. When P5R was announced I was annoyed and you can't just upgrade. I don't want to play the inferior version but I also don't want to spend $80 (or $40 on sale) for a game I already kind of own.




  • It's not even relevant what the government is like in Nicaragua now, what's relevant is that the Americans were absolutely on the wrong side of the Contra-Sandinista conflict in the 80s. I wasn't alive during the scandal to say this with complete confidence, but reading about the Iran-Contra affair it seems like the general consensus was that the Reagan administration seriously fucked up and the stuff we've learned about the Contras (and America's direct involvement with their atrocities) have only made the entire thing seem that much worse. There's no real argument about what came before the Sandinstas either because the Somoza regime was pretty transparently brutal and repressive.

    It seems to me like everyone is playing revisionist history and pretending that the Contras were the good guys and that America was just "promoting democracy." Idk, maybe I'm wrong and the narrative about Nicaragua and the Contras has always been terrible, but I'm honestly surprised to see how successfully the MSM is able to push these kind of lies when the Iran-Contra affair was such a major event in the 80s.



  • Crashes happen because people still speed even if the roads are slippery. If the conditions are bad you should be going under the speed limit and you shouldn't go over 70kmh/45mph ever. Seriously, drive slowly and you'll significantly reduce the chance of losing control of your car.

    Probably also a good idea to watch a couple videos about how to correct for losing front/rear traction of you vehicle - pumping the brakes could make your situation worse.
