I’m helping a family member build a pc. He wanted to use Windows because “Linux can’t play games” despite me having a perfectly good gaming laptop running Linux that runs all my games, even graphically intensive ones....
Adding to this, consider a second opinion on any dental work. One quoted me for a big job, but because of circumstances, I ended up going to a different dentist and they didn’t see anything wrong with my mouth. Been a number of years since and there’s been no problems without any work being done.
I felt sorry for the French girls who had their hair shaved off for dating Nazi officers. We really don’t know why they did it and I doubt it helped the occupiers very much.
You can reform crimes of necessity, like stealing to buy food. This person might have a brain defect. Either something genetic or even a brain tumor. It might be fixable with treatments. It might not be.
Well, at least if you buy a Tesla, you're not supporting big oil companies like Exxon — oh wait...
"Oil major Exxon Mobil (XOM.N) is in talks with Tesla (TSLA.O), Ford Motor (F.N), Volkswagen (VOWG_p.DE) and other automakers to supply lithium, Bloomberg Law reported on Monday citing people familiar with the matter."
There’s efforts to make Li-ion batteries recyclable and there’s also efforts to have sodium-ion batteries as an alternative to Li-ion. I’d also like to see more discussions for nickel–iron batteries for stationary storage for solar/wind buffers.
For me it’s first person puzzle games. I can think of maybe a dozen off the top of my head that came out in the last decade. I especially enjoy when they’re open world. The ability to just quit a puzzle that’s stumped you and go try something else for a little bit is incredibly refreshing.
The media is invested in the status quo and the status quo is consumption. Or do you think those gasoline commercials between news segments are for the viewer’s benefit. That’s what soft bride money looks like.
Russia’s war in Ukraine is already in its 17th month. In that time, President Vladimir Putin has clearly demonstrated that he is not bothered by losses — whether they be financial, material, or human. His war will go on as long as he needs. And, judging by how the authorities have woven the so-called “special military...
Because it’s a short comic, it doesn’t have the time to go into the nuances. One word has a long history of being used to dehumanize an “other” group and the other just a word for a body part. If body parts offend you as much as racial slurs, you may have your own issues.
Note, Mr Fry is a gay man and has championed gay rights. His very existence is offensive to backwards conservatives. This quote often gets shared without any context.
If the only argument against something is that it’s offensive and they can’t rationalize it at all, the argument can be thrown out. That’s all the comic is about.
Bigots can’t rationalize their bigotry. At least not in a way that can’t be torn apart. They always end up using circular logic, which is what the comic is address.
I’m “offended” at racism because it creates an unsafe culture for everyone involved. I can cit research about the effects of generational racism leading to higher crime for instance.
They’re offended at the sight of black people being able to use the same water fountain as them. They can’t tell me why, which is why their argument ends at their “offense” and is the scenario the comic is about.
Also, it’s never just “butts”
I’ve seen people online get offended at the bumper sticker “Fuck Cancer”.
I hate Tiktok because it’s spyware. Show me the source code to prove me wrong.
I hate Epic because they abandoned the Unreal and Unreal Tournament series, delisted from any store(including single player games) and turned off the Master Server preventing official multiplayer.
I hate AAA game developers because of what the MBAs did to milk every cent of out of their customers.
And now, many of the remaining accusers seem to be reluctant to push forward. Almost like the christmas was a coded message to people he has dirt on, but Hollywood’s never associated with people with delusions of spy novels. Clearly all those people were clout chasers.
meh. I’m not interested in participating, but for a short uptick in user activity, a bunch of tech journals will be writing about this and they’ll come up is searches about /r/place for years to come. It will be a net lose for spez.
Before he was forced to buy Twitter, he was making money off pump and dump schemes. Look at his history with crypto. This time, he bit off more then he could and was forced to follow through with his threat to buy twitter.
Which means you’re born into a weird sociopathic upbringing. Very fee born into wealth see any issues with it and even then, it tends to be short lived. One of the Johnson and Johnson heirs put out a documentary, but not much after that.
If you have a home invader, it’s safer to wait for them to open your bedroom door then go hunting. Hearing a shotgun get racked will likely make them shit themselves and leave anyway. Seriously, if you think there’s someone in your house out to get you, the last think you want to do is turn a corner and loose an advantage.
[Rant] I swear to fucking god. Windows is harder to use than Linux. Have any of you ever USED Windows lately? Holy fuck.
