i feel like paperwork comes with that kind of stuff. like the kind of paperwork you could show to clear up the nagging question of why and how you have human skulls around your place.

the skulls themselves aren't particularly suspicious or a crime in and of themselves, but it does raise questions. the kind of questions you probably want paperwork for.

How do I cope with my father hating me?

My father, who convinced me (16 m) at the time to move in with him instead of my mother when they moved. All 3 of the other siblings stayed with my mother. He then kicked me out the week I turned 18, a week into my senior year. Since then he stays in touch only to speak with his grandchildren (now going on 4 kids). I have never...

It doesn’t sound like a you problem. Sounds like a problem with him. As such the agency to fix the problem lies with him.

Move on and forget about him.

That same line of thinking got him in the first time.

the whole point of having captains out in the black, is for them to make a judgement call on when the rules should be ignored.

Picard had a conversation with Data about this very thing, when Data went with his 'gut' to disobey a order.

nah, some of us were making fun of this moment even back then.

as an OG Tribes player, Tribes 2 was still better. that was part of the problem. they made a Tribes game but seemed to misunderstand what made for a good Tribes game. Ascend was always kind of garbage-y,

The firm claims it's cost-effective, fast, and scalable technology for future data storage because no energy is consumed to store data and it can last more than 5,000 years due to the fact it's made from ceramic. The best hard drives and best SSDs, by contrast, need to be replaced every few years.

lol, they for real discovered something that was discovered 12,000 years ago. ceramic keeps for a long time.

What makes a man turn neutral? Lust for gold? Power? Or were you just born with a heart full of neutrality?

Why do people hate on mobile games, call them "not real games" and mock them, when some mobile-exclusive games are the best games I've played?

The Infinity Blade or Minigore series, for example, or anything made by Illusion Labs. These games are genius and most consoles don’t even have a touch screen or utilise it well like some smartphone games do....

personally, i still do it out of stubbornness. the old cell phone games weren't real games. they were less than old Atari games. as cell phones evolved, so did the games. eventually we get into the more modern era, and some cell phone games are more 'real' than older console games were.

i acknowledge that modern cell phone games, are often more of a real game than games we had back in the console days.

that said, i'll still consider them not real games for many years to come. don't worry what other people think. if you enjoy them, play them.

Dodge started the trend of making their pickup trucks be stupidly huge.

one of my favorite jokes about this is on TNG. i think it's the episode where the bridge gets cut off from the rest of the ship, and Troi is in charge of running the ship. O'Brian makes a comment to Ro about how you can't 'just reroute power from things'.

it's a funny little nod from the writers.

some many years ago my wife and i had a conversation about this.

sometimes it needs to be communicated to me that she wants to vent. this is different than seeking solutions to a given problem.

Grandpa died last week

And now he’s buried in the rocks

But everybody still talks about

How badly they were shocked

But me, I expected it to happen

I knew he’d lost control

When he built a fire on Main Street

And shot it full of holes

I finally switched back to Linux as my daily driver after a couple of years of being on nothing but Windows.

I ran Manjaro Linux as my daily driver a few years ago but slowly phased it out for Windows for some reason, and I’m finally back using Linux (currently Linux Mint). I gotta say, I don’t know why I ever switched back to Windows. There’s just so much freedom Linux gives you right off the bat that Windows is just plain...

this is basically why i ditched android and switched to iphones.

at the end of the day i need my phone to be a phone more than i need complete control over everything.

same with the PC OS. i like Linux, i like Windows, under some circumstances i even like MacOS. at the end of the day it really doesn't matter what OS i'm using, so long as the software i need to run, runs.

just want to throw this link about other stories of cops starting fires with their cars. i was looking for a particular video, but i couldn't find it because of all the other videos of it happening.

i'm one of those people. haven't used anything other than Windows Defender for over a decade at this point.

if you click the link to show other pieces he's wrote, he heavily seems to favor a number of different 'opinions' on things. he's obviously pro Russian. he downplays the role of Saudi Arabia during 9/11, while suggesting that the current administration has allowed the relationship to wither on the vine. he has a piece about how much of a threat Hamas is to the US.

dude's clearly a shitstain, and most of his writing has a incredibly clear agenda.

people REALLY need to learn to let things go. i get it, nostalgia is a powerful thing. that doesn't mean every show needs a revival.

the thing about nostalgia, is you don't actually want that thing back. what you want back is how that thing made you feel.

No person can step in the same river twice. They are not the same person, and it is not the same river.

And while the biggest arms dealer in the world is your boss - the President of the United States, who ships more merchandise in a day than I do in a year - sometimes it's embarrassing to have his fingerprints on the guns. Sometimes he needs a freelancer like me to supply forces he can't be seen supplying. So. You call me evil, but unfortunately for you, I'm a necessary evil.

no that is Mr Homn. he was played by the same actor though.

conversely he was also Thing.

really my rule of thumb has always been when it's a significant upgrade.

for a long time i didn't really upgrade until it was a 4x increase over my old. certain exceptions were occasionally made. nowadays i'm a bit more opportunistic in my upgrades. but i still seek out 'meaningful' upgrades. upgrades that are a decent jump over the old. typically 50% improvement in performance, or upgrades i can get for really cheap.

really the RTX 4080 is going to be a sweet spot in terms of performance envelope. that's a card you'll see with some decent longevity, even if it's not being recognized as such currently.

Right

There’s tons of legit stories and things that are a bit more interesting. Like Gobleki Tepe, or the creation story of the Ojibwa Indians.

wrath_of_grunge,

that's kind of the funny thing about this story. do you know how much of a colossal dickbag you gotta be for a company to say no to making a billion dollars? they will put up with so much shit for that kind of money. but West was a dickbag of such monumental proportions that the company is like, 'nah, fuck it, it's not worth it', to a billion fucking dollars.

on top of that we see later in the article

Still, throughout all of this, the company’s C-suite consistently “sought not to rein him in but to appease him,” with an eye to their bottom line. After the slavery comment, for example, Kasper Rorsted, Adidas’ CEO at the time, brushed it off, saying “Kanye has helped us have a great comeback in the U.S.” He only doubled down months later, adding: “We’re not signing up to his statements; we’re signing up to what he brings to the brand and the products he’s bringing out.”

and we learn once again, ironically, that appeasement doesn't work.
