People who has been maintaining the kernel and weathered multiple fads are wary to see if new guards will “stick”, or just stay along for a year or five, disappear and leave the old guard with shit.

The answer is impossible to answer until you tell us more about your needs. Better choice considering what?

In general, untill you have terabytes of data or a significant amount of traffic (operations per second) database choice does not matter and you should be using cheaper option, where the cost should be assessed as a derivative of price of hosting, cost per operation, cost to deliver (how familiar you are with it).

When you have significant amount of data or traffic - only then you should worry about database kind or language. Until then this could be a premature optimization.

Isn’t it a bit… selfish for you to expect everyone everywhere know your fucking context? 88 means shit nothing in Europe and we’ve got the original Nazis here (except of course if you’re Nazi - they know about 88, common people don’t).

Same with 666. Ask an Indian what it means and he will tell you one more than 665.

I totally disagree.

Any and all form of MTX that do not expand significantly on the gameplay are satan’s piss. The mere fact that they exist mean that the company decided to increase the profits by putting more chum for the pigs (we are the pigs here) instead of working on something significant and bringing more value to the world. In the long run this is what’s destroying the industry because it promotes the enshittification mindset in the CEOs

I think this is the moment you’re overreaching.

Alternatively what you’re saying is that all gun manufacturers should go to jail for multiple counts of homicide.

Care to share some of the dishes you tried?

Generally the cuisine in those countries isn’t spicy, but does not shy away from herbs and pickled anything. However we’ve been plagued by overpriced, tourist trap bad restaurants here, and Covid just made it worse.

I do echo that Mexican restaurants in Europe that I’ve been to are bad or meh at best. I’ve never been to Mexico and I hope the restaurants are owned by exiles who fled the country hunted by pitchfork wielding mobs, infuriated at how bad the cooks were :D
