Another tragedy: the story of the guy who tased his balls enough to have a heart attack and die is not true 😢. He did have a heart attack and die, but didn’t get tased in the balls.

I envy everyone who died before June 14, 1946 who never had to ever possibly think of Trump

SPOILERS!!

When they started showing flashbacks of Luthan and Kleya, I was getting really worried

No cameos? They brought back basically everyone from Rogue One for a cameo (except for Jimmy Smits) /s

I am also pretty sure Grover Cleveland didn’t refer to France as “historically been a funder of terrorism at a very high level” less than 10 years before accepting the gift from them.

It’s so funny going through the control panel, getting to more and more esoteric settings, and seeing the UI getting older and older. I ditched Windows after Windows 7 but remember seeing menu themes that looked like they haven’t been updated since Windows NT

My understanding from reading Wikipedia is that both sides are moving opposite against each other, so from the observation side, it looks much faster than it would look if observed directly above.

During the first term, I was hopeful that at least they would at least codify the norms into laws but considering the emoluments clause is already in the constitution, I guess nothing really matters, and Republicans will defend him no matter what. I guess I should lower my standards and just hope there is a country left for a corrupt Democrat to be elected who blatantly violates everything, to get the Republicans to set some standards for the office.

Does Steam have built in Chromecast support, or are you mirroring the whole Desktop? I’ve had good success with Moonlight, to use Steam Streaming, but have never tried with a Chromecast.

There’s something so poetic in the way you write.

Obviously this is antithetical to this community, but when Stadia was a thing, it was actually really amazing. Playing Cyberpunk 2077 on release day with a shit PC blew me away. I’m not sure how it worked in Australia, but the lag was only noticeable sometimes, and never was a distraction or took away from the game play. GeForce Now is ok, but they need to support your game, and then you need to purchase the game + have a subscription. I know Stadia got a lot of shit, and also had a limited catalog, but it actually got me to buy cutting edge games, sometimes on release day, with no subscription.

For me, piracy is not about cost, but more for combating anti-consumer behavior by corporations. Say what you will about Google, but Stadia was actually a good product. I guess it’s just good they killed it before they could enshitify it.

Having no clue that Celsius is/was a crypto platform, this headline sounds like USA propaganda pushing Fahrenheit.

Million dollar idea (that probably violates campaign finance laws): Come up with a service that allows you to donate to any candidate, and will not sell or share your information, and will never contact you. The fee is $1 regardless of the donation amount. There has to be 1m people who would find this worth the added fee.

Agreed, the only way this would be acceptable if this was in an application for a Social Media manager position?

If I had to guess, i think most of it comes down to not wanting to understand how society works, and finding it easier to think everything should come for free to them. If I couldn’t afford my car payments and someone told me that if you’re a sovereign citizen, you don’t have to pay, I could see how desperation could lead people to think they could get out of obligations. There’s also probably a large group of influencers and scammers who are incentivized to spread this misinformation, which is how it spreads.

It’s also likely that for minor infractions, they’re let off with a warning from an officer who doesn’t want to deal with them, and this emboldens them to think they’re correct in how society functions, until they get an officer who won’t put up with them, or do something so egregious, it can’t be ignored.

Exactly, the original star wars was basically WW2 movies with Flash Gorden. By the time of RTJ, Lucas has specifically said it was his intention that the Ewoks were the viet cong, and the empire was the USA. And then in RotS, Vader says “If you’re not with me, then you’re my enemy!” which is a pretty direct quote from George W. Bush who said “Either you’re with us or you’re against us in the fight on terror”.

She needs the money since her 401k is gone

Another DUI hire

So were the planned security drills in India today actually scheduled in case there was immediate retaliation?
