Scientific method is the best tool we have to achieve "pure objectivity and truth", but it's not perfect. The primary point of failure being application of it by extremely subjective creatures.

Seems to me like the OP was fishing for attention, negative or otherwise.

Ok, I guess you're technically right; you didn't, in fact, ask for suggestions. But your post heavily implies that you are. Because why else would you be asking? Just to learn what other people are doing with no particular goal? Usually people ask such questions to get some ideas.

You were asking for suggestions of activities to spend your "free" time on, and then dismissed suggestions because they don't pay.
You also dismissed some other great suggestion completely, like programming and making art, drawing, composting etc.
Assuming your game interests aren't strictly limited to Call of Duty and FIFA, you might be interested in making games and game related art, like pixel art, 3D models, chiptune music, etc. There's tons of free tools for creating those and practically unlimited resources to learn from.

This is misleading. The models mentioned won't get the latest MacOS update, true, but they will be supported. My older 2016 MBP is stuck on BigSur or something, but gets security updates regularly and doesn't have any incompatibilities so far. I could probably force update it if I wanted to. Apple is known for supporting their devices for longer than other manufacturers.

Apple devices have enough legit reasons for criticism, no need to make up new ones.

I'm surprised I haven't seen the "Adstronaut in Ad Space" joke anywhere else.

That only works with John Cena.

You liar! There he is in the post image!

Honestly, I understood that. I'm just making fun of the fact he didn't say "I'm your son". He's still "son" even if he isn't his. Except if he's daughter.

Not son? So what are they, a daughter?

I saw a different interpretation of the same news on Hexbear. The gist of it was as follows:

  • Putin is being bold because he's winning and at this point can make such demands.
  • He's even being generous, he's winning and gives Ukraine the opportunity to stop the deaths.
  • Ukraine is not expected to accept these terms, because "the West" won't allow them.

So yeah...
