  • When BorderLands 3 came out, it had very little pre-order stock which got gobbled up by scalping bots world-wide in under 6 minutes after being made available.

    I remember my buddy spent about $300 on a scalped Italian preorder bundle to get all the launch swag because he loved borderlands so much. Then the game dropped, we played together, and it was some DOGshit.

    Homie was so pissed off that we ended up drinking and crying about his cheating girlfriend instead because that was more fun than playing BL3 lmao

  • I don't mean interacting directly with ICANN. I mean directly interacting with registries, like Verisign.

    They control the .com top level domain. They do not interact with consumers, and require you to use a third-layer of registrars to interface with them.

    ICANN shouldn't get into the direct-to-consumer business, that is true and not the issue I am speaking about.

  • If you want someone else's servers to replicate a piece of information for you, and you want them to take responsibility for administrative issues like figuring out whether you still want it next year or what to do if you're doing something illegal

    I would like none of these services. I would simply like my domain name to be mapped to my server's IP. I don't want to have to pay a registrar, I would like to submit my domains to registers directly. There is a business layer of middle-men who do not need to exist.

  • Killing people in power who are overly greedy is a tradition, it's how civilizations advance! It doesn't matter if they are unarmed or not if they are destroying the lives of the people below them

    It's been America's M.O. since the the '40s. Kill fascists in Germany and Japan, kill communists in Korea and Vietnam, kill the Taliban, Al-Qaeda, ISIS, Boko Haram, kill anyone who sounds like they rule with an iron fist. Deliver freedom to people! It's the most patriotic thing you can do: Kill people in power

    Why should that time-honored tradition start for us overseas? Why not bring that tradition home?

  • The invisible man is upset because his hot bar crush doesn't know he exists (how could she, the dude's invisible)

    Hunters enjoy the sport of hunting. It would take the fun away if the animal killed itself. The deer is running a lose-lose gambit by killing itself

  • Because a sink is an obvious place to wash your hands, but as a person I don't have an obvious gender. Giving pronouns isn't demanding that people comply with using them, it's for people who want to know.

  • Have you ever had a single real life interaction with someone who puts their pronouns up front and center? Have YOU ever seen someone talk about their pronouns outside of an internet ragebait setting?

    I'm not trans. I was born with cock and balls. I had (He/Him) in my work emails until recently. I'm just built like a twink, even when I was a soldier and lifted every day. I've always looked extremely feminine, and get called ma'am by strangers all the time. People call me by whatever pronouns they want, mostly out of confusion. I'll always respond to them if they're not outright doing it to be a contrarian or a pussy-hearted whiny bitch because I look like a girl.

    My "ability to enforce a personal preference is limited at best" is actually zero. When you give your preferred pronouns to someone you have no control over them using the right pronouns. You're completely reliant on the kindness of others to not be a piece of shit and make fun of you. That's not a reason to stop giving your pronouns out.

  • Lots of deadlinks and farming alliances with mission statements.

    Not a lot of links to buy food from farmers.

  • I know one guy who has a folding smartphone and it's not broken now. Where does that leave us

  • DeepSeek claimed the model training took 2,788 thousand H800 GPU hours, which, at a cost of $2/GPU hour, comes out to a mere $5.576 million.

    That seems impossibly low.

    DeepSeek is clear that these costs are only for the final training run, and exclude all other expenses

    This shit isn't related, what are you talking about

  • What is considered attractive seems to be made up. From small dicks being all the rage in ancient Rome, to obesity being a beautiful sign of fertility all across the world and its history (especially in modern Pacific Island countries), to having black teeth in southern Asia and Meiji Japan being the hottest thing.

    Attractive people getting promoted is real and true, but what your culture considers attractive is mostly invented bullshit. Short of primal, instinctual reactions to visible disease and disfigurement on somebody, it seems like anything can be made an "attractive" trait.

    American culture loves to promote artists, actors, and entertainers who get plastic surgery and take BGH/Tren/Test/Ozempic. Mainstream industries like Music labels, Social Media platforms, and Movies/TV studios are painting the image of "attractive" to people from the time they are born. I'm not exempt from thinking Chris Hemsworth is attractive, I doubt many Americans are. Except the autists. They're too mentally transcended.

    Getting Botox is falling victim to fake beauty standards, and in a minor way helping perpetuate that standard to the people around you.

  • I know a couple people who get cosmetic Botox regularly, and it genuinely looks good on all of them. They got good doctors.

    One person is a close friend who struggles a lot with their body and is anorexic. They do a lot of stuff to look good for their partner, including Botox. They are open with me about their horrible mental health issues. I know plastic surgeons try to screen and reject people with body dysmorphia, but they do a shit job of it.

    Using Botox is a sign that someone isn't accepting of their body, and refusing that aging is natural/alright. It's someone giving into the idea that you shouldn't look wrinkly which just feeds a weird unnecessary culture for everyone to want cosmetic surgery.

    It's not as bad as the cultural normalization of steroids or ozempic, but I wish everybody would push past the need to please others and be happy with their bodies

  • Speach lmao

  • Can you explain further? I've never looked into this before, but I can seemingly find chromium's source code on github, and on Google's chromium site

  • ... So very wizard of you????
