  • As I understand it: To avoid the shutdown, Republicans needed 60 votes. They have 53 senators. Only one Democrat voted with the Republicans. The Democrats had some healthcare related demands that weren't met, so the shutdown went ahead.

  • Yeah, I've seen the film and it is properly terrible.

  • By Le Fanu? I read a short story collection from him with Carmilla. It was really good. Le Fanu deserves more modern attention, I think.

  • I really like Bret Easton Ellis's books, and a lot of them are horror. I'll recommend his newest book, The Shards. Other great ones from him are Less Than Zero and American Psycho.

    I also enjoyed Red Dragon by Thomas Harris. Possibly better known for it's filmizations, the book is a really good psychological horror story.

  • Hey now, you can't say that, read the bill:

    Is a depiction, description, or simulation, whether real, animated, digitally generated, written, or auditory, of sexual acts, that includes any of the following:

    (I) Vaginal or anal intercourse

  • I can't go anywhere with noisy crowds. The sensory stimulation is too much for me. It's not fun feeling ready to snap at any moment. Anytime I try going to the wrong kind of places I will regret it, so yeah.

  • Reading the bill, it's pretty insane. I'm not a lawyer, but it seems to ban pretty much all sexual content and all depictions of cross dressing, along with proxies and VPNs. I'm pretty sure you couldn't show Monty Python, because they occasionally cross dress in their sketches.

    Anticorruption of Public Morals Act. The name alone screams overreach.

  • I generally have nothing but a deep sense of loathing for marketing, but I genuinely feel bad for the people who have to try smearing lipstick on this pig.

  • Seems like the kind of guy I'd want in charge of my company. "Don't buy my stuff" is some next level 4D marketing.

  • Likely not. I've tried skipping a release once by accident (I didn't pay enough attention) and it ended with a bricked system and a full reinstall. Don't do it.

  • The one that works best for your use case.

  • Rust

    Jump
  • I happen to know multiple people who haven't died.

  • Oh hell naw, I love to sit back, one hand resting on an arm rest, and just navigating with my mouse. Not that I mind using the keyboard, but I have a strong affinity to the mouse. I know the keyboard is "more efficient", but I'm just more comfortable pointing at things.

  • The War of the Worlds by H. G. Wells.

  • You mom may be an expert, but in this I think she's biased.

  • I always find it really off-putting.

  • And complete websites implemented in Flash. It is a dark time that I don't like to talk about. The dreams, the dreams won't leave me alone though, they still haunt me.

    As much as I miss the early Internet, there's some aspects better left forgotten.

  • That's some sort of an inkcap, right? Looks cool.

  • Sounds delish!
