I'll repeat it again: Every country has mental illness, but it’s America that has the epidemic of gun violence and mass shootings.

It’s the damn guns.

On August 27, the Seattle Mariners stand alone atop the AL West.

This is not a typo.

I had been craving to play the Sims 4 recently because I watched someone build phenomenal houses in the Sims 4 (I've never played 4, but I've played 1 extensively and a little bit of 3.)

So I wanted to play it in a virtual machine on my Linux PC so that I can sandbox the game for personal security reasons. However, EA, being the dirtbags they are, won't let me play it in a VM. I wasn't about to run any untrusted code on my host OS, so there had to be another way.

Long story short, I ended up playing the game on my dad's old HP that runs Windows 10 poorly. I knew EA was bad, but this experience has left a bitter taste in my mouth, despite how much fun I had playing it on the old HP.

Just another reason why DRM hurts the consumer. I wanted to play the game in a way that benefits my personal security posture, and if I can't, I'm less likely to play the game in the future.
