How can anybody with a brain not understand

There’s your answer

At this point it’s kind of entertaining to see him keep raising the stupidity bar. Absolutely fucking terrifying too, but still also kinda entertaining.

Did none of them watch M3gan???

Just this weekend I took an old Gen 1 Surface Go and put the latest Fedora on it and it’s amazing, very intuitive for touch screens. Tried Mint before and it gave me enough issues that I didn’t use that Tablet at all for almost a year.

Edit to clarify, I run Mint on my desktop and love it, just didn’t really work well on my old Surface Go.

Feels like AI slop but considering current events

I’ll allow it

Yes, US democracy is dead. I think it’s still got legs in some other countries though.

TWO international reporters shot in a single day.

Here I thought the article got the nationality of the reporter wrong only to find out they’re just aiming for reporters in general now apparently…

Wizard girl wants to do the deed with sexy fire elemental so needs fire resistance potions, and shopkeeper is judging her for it apparently.

Reads like: that’s a lot of fire resistance potions… Judging glance. Sexy fire lady and nerdy wizard girl sweating like a teenager buying condoms for the first time

I feel like fewer and fewer people actually WANT to go to the US anyway…

Boox tablets are essentially Android tablets with highly specialized screens.

Yes, didn’t realize this when I got mine years ago just looking for a Kindle replacement I could also take notes on. Being able to install Android apps opened up a whole lot of possibilities, like reading Manga with Mihon, work stuff with Google Suite, etc. Now I’m even looking to upgrade to a colored screen model. Honestly, worth the price IMO

Slow down time enough that I trip for 8 hours and it’s only been a minute. Awesome

Speed up or slow down time at will

Just gotta carry disinfectant wipes and stuff I guess. I’d take this deal

We’ve been past it for years unfortunately…

Seriously, what’s with Google giving completely wrong suggestions in docs nowadays? I’m forced to use it for work and it’s been insane lately.

Even if it’s only for 15~20 minutes, I make time every weekday morning to run before getting ready for work. Holidays and such I’ll do a longer run. Was a pain at first but over the years it’s just something my body does. I figure when it comes to cardio, too little is better than none.

Building healthy habits is real.

A small EV pickup maybe?

Non-American here. There’s a huge market for cheap Chinese goods outside the US. There are a lot of little things where you don’t need quality, just “good enough to get the job done”. There’s a chain of stores all around SEA called Mr. DIY that is basically full of worryingly cheap made in China products and it’s thriving.

Then there’s the various electronics brands that at least have reliable quality with good specs for the costs. Huge market for those despite bloat, spyware etc. outside of the US. As if you don’t get that with practically all mainstream electronics from any country anyway. Plus for non smart electronics, they’re fine. Xioami makes a great and cheap precision electronic screwdriver for example. Then there’s car companies like BYD that is just killing it in the global EV market.

Not saying the Chinese government is great or anything, they’ve got hands as bloody as any other global superpower, but I do think Chinese companies can find plenty of willing customers outside of the US.

Tl;dr A lot of the world is willing to buy “cheap garbage”, and not everything China is producing is seen as “cheap garbage” anymore.

My first thought reading your comment is of the award winning director of No Other Land who got attacked and detained after having already received his Oscar… Then there’s photo journalist Fatma Hassona who was the subject of the documentary Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk who got killed in a bombing alongside her whole family.

We are unfortunately learning that becoming famous doesn’t necessarily protect people…

Oh right, and then he said he loves using the laptop now or something like that
