My grandma worked as a civil servant in Russia near one of the worst camps. She saw a huge store room where all the furniture and stuff of the Jews were kept. She was told they were from citizens who had fled.

When her department moved to another building they got some ultra thin mangled “prisoners” to help with the move. They were told that these prisoners were murderers and rapists so it was ok that they were malnourished.

A few weeks later the war had ended (and she was back in Germany) and she got the news of what was really going on, basically next door.

She was a naïve young woman back then.

Once a friend of hers was about to have an audience with Hitler and she asked her to tell him about the bad situation in the city. She didn’t know the half of how “bad” it really was. Her perspective was that supplies were really low and that the general populace was suffering. Surely the almighty Führer would be able to do something to change things. The response from him was that “they shouldn’t heed those crazy conspiracy stories”.

Lumbar puncture, hands down. They insert a needle into your lower spine to extract fluid for analysis. It was horribly painful and took them several tries to get right.

They gave me incorrect instructions. At least for my case they were incorrect. It is done sitting up. And they told me specifically not to round my back but to slump down. And they poked and prodded and just couldn’t get the needle in. Finally I rounded my back and oh wonderous thing it was suddenly much easier to get the needle in.

That was painful enough but sucking the fluid out is downright sickening. You can really feel it along your spine and in your head. Absolutely awful. I felt like passing out.

And of course they found absolutely nothing.

They do that quite often. Fully EU compliant would be if it had a disagree button right next to agree.

Highest one I’ve seen was around 1700.

No idea how you got to Anubis. Image downloads are specifically exempt from it. Just opening the images URL should not even let you touch Anubis.

FWIW the Quest 1 is still capable and has been rooted recently so that you can use it without the Meta shit. Should be able to find a used one for quite cheap.

The Steam Controller with its two trackpads and gyroscope paired up with Steam Input which lets you configure the controller (even non-Steam controllers) very granularly to your liking.

For shooters the best setup for me is to use the right stick for broad aiming and the gyro for precision.

For strategy and management games I use the right trackpad as a mouse and the left trackpad for hotkeys. In StarCraft I set up the left trackpad to be contained to the area on the screen where the selected unit’s functions are displayed. Not good enough for multiplayer, but good enough for casual play.

Don’t tell me there’s a shocking villain twist!

You’d probably like the movie Shoot 'Em Up.

That’s what I always tell my domme when she whips me for nibbling on her toes.

Huh, I didn’t think this one would go over Anubis at all. I’ll take a look at it.

It’s just a meme GIF from the Godfather where he says “look how they massacred my boy.”

But it does mean that all transitions of the past have been reset.

But at least it still allows transitions for parents and children.

Are there people who only upgrade their Debian on point releases?

Back in the day you’d have to define a transform (maybe transform3d) anyways to force hardware acceleration on iPhone. Transform just made stuff run better.

I mean, that was basically Batman’s goal. To be so scary that criminals wouldn’t even start, because they’re afraid of every shadow.

Often enough they are just poorly thrown together ROM collections. Often enough the worst ROM available is used. And they have numbers at the beginning of their names to sort them by whatever insane quality metric the company had, so good luck finding anything good.

I’d only buy one where you can supply your own ROMs. They are cheap enough these days.

No idea why Nintendo and Co let them do this. Sometimes they don’t contain games by the big companies. But most of the time they actually do.

Ich tue meinen Teil!

Ja, das letzte aufbäumen vor dem Tod.

I bought a Fairphone 3 for the reparability but the damn thing just won’t break! I don’t think I’ve abused any phone as much as the FP but it just keeps chugging along without so much as a tear in the screen.

I think it’s because of the frame reaching half a mm or so above the screen and the battery cover opening up when I drop it.
