Yeh, you say that. But you know they finished Half Life 4 about 2 years ago and are holding it back on purpose

That’s been in the warehouse for 10 years.

Loved Loki season 1. Season 2? Gave up after episode three, thought the writing was execrable.

Thanks for the tip. Yeh. I the episodes I saw felt like there was a lot of padding

Question to those not in the USA, and who have lived outside the USA.

I’ve been thinking about something and want to check an assumption I have. I only hear directly from other people in the USA, and interract with the global community through memes. How are the gun regulations/laws different from yours in terms of strictness, and do you wish there was more or less where you live?...

can’t think to any program made in java that isn’t a memory hog.

Can you think of any Java programs that aren’t Minecraft, tho?

HeartyBeast,
@HeartyBeast@kbin.social avatar

Ah sorry - I wasn't dissing Java - I was questioning the commenter's knowledge of Java, given that Minecraft was the example they chose.

That's embarrassing. Quite possibly. Sorry for bothering you. Handy option though :)

I thought the 1st Captain Marvel was pretty fun. I don’t have much of an interest in seeing this though.

“True nature” in this case appears to be slow and cautious. Shocking stuff!

What you failed to do however is delegate, even temporarily, your responsibilities to people you trust.

Possibly becausE - you kkkw, urgent real-life stuff got in the way

And if you’re in a European city without off-road parking, at-home refuelling for EVs is shit too.

I know it's more complex, just if you are trying to explain what the Fediverse is to someone who's older

Even though the future fate of the model is uncertain, the username for the account and its other listings suggest that it specializes in selling artifacts found in storage lockers that end up without an owner, either due to failure to pay, abandonment, or death, perhaps giving a hint as to how the model was found.

Again - from the article - it went missing after being leant to the original motion picture production.

Quite a few people who were around in 1979 are still hanging on today :)

Good news - the Apple TV app is free and runs on LG's WebOS

HeartyBeast,
@HeartyBeast@kbin.social avatar

From the sound of it, AppleTV will carry the NASA+ TV channel. The app is presumably something that sits on your smartphone and is another way to access content

I'm hoping they are sorted by the time I'm 80 and can no longer safely drive myself.

For context, this was a demonstration of 3,000 people ‘several of which’ apparently called for a kaliphate.

They’re a tiny idiotic minority of the Muslims living in Germany and you’re ‘this is exactly why I’m against Islam’ - which of course is exactly the response the radicals are hoping to trigger.

I mean, democracy isn’t doing too well in lots of countries at the moment. India, China, Russia, North Korea, and arguably strugglijng in a large Christian near-theocracy, I can think of.

I absolutely have a problem with fundamentalist Islam, but luckily fundamentalism isn’t ubiquitous. The big problem is where you have the toxic combination of any regious fundamentalism with populist nationalism.

These kind of regimes frequently seem to seem into power where moderate/secular parties have been seen as ineffective or corrupt or both - see how Hamas took over from Fatah/the Palestinian Authority in Gaza.

Abortions are readily available before 24 weeks - after that the restrictions become tghter - you'll get one if the mother's life is at risk, or the foetus has a severe disability.

There is a problem in some communities with late selective abortions because the parents want a child of a particular sex, so that is one driver for late abortions that tend to get investigated, I believe.

Why not? It’ll give some people a bit of pleasure, it’s interesting to hear.

House Speaker Mike Johnson Responds to New Round of Scrutiny About Black Son (www.vanityfair.com)

Mike Johnson’s meteoric elevation from an under-the-radar congressman from Louisiana to second-in-line to the U.S. presidency sent journalists, Democrats and Republicans alike to uncover information about the personal and professional history of the most right-wing and least experienced House Speaker in history, who took the...

“All politicians are the same, amirite?”

No, you are wrong

HeartyBeast,
@HeartyBeast@kbin.social avatar

This is such a daft take - I know plenty of local politicians - and indeed a couple of MPs local to me in the UK who have precious little "power" and work stupid hours looking after their constituents. They aren't trying to get cabinet positions or a cushy jobs. The kind of people who think 'there are some problems here I think I can solve' and sign up for what can be pretty grim work.

Why do people ask "Where does your name come from"?

I got this question multiple times while introducing myself. It sounds a bit odd and I don’t think they are really interested in the origin of my name. Is this a politically correct way of asking my ethnic origin? I guess “Where are you from” wouldn’t work for everyone since there are many born-and-raised British people...

It sounds a bit odd and I don’t think they are really interested in the origin of my name.

It’s taken them by surprise, it’s offered a conversational opening that expresses interest in you. The alternatives

  • nice weather we are having
  • so how do you know $mutual-acquaintance?
  • What do you do?

I understand you might find it a bit wearing , but I honestly don’t think it’s problematic

Well it can when it needs to. It just doesn't need to much
