It wouldn’t surprise me if both of those things are true.

I’m a hard lefty and even I will tell people not to give any votes to Stein. She rubs shoulders with Putin and a bunch of his cabinet members. There was also the time she called for a recount, took a bunch of donations to get the recount going, and then when it inevitably failed, she vanished with the money.

Halloumi is awesome!

I still have my Xbox 360 physical copy, so no, I will not be paying $50 for a 14-year-old game.

Woof. What a disaster. That dude always struck me as a grifter.

What’s happening with Mr. Beast? I’m out of the loop.

I’ve had to stop harping on the “2 sides of the same coin” thing because it’s tiresome for everyone. Fortunately, the liberal folks I know don’t particularly like Harris either, but they also don’t know what the alternative is in such a rigged system.

It took me years to finally get people to realize that it’s all ratchet effect bullshit and both parties are complicit.

Yeah, this was a long time ago too when things were different. I know many people had the same issue though to no avail, and with a ton more hours under their belt.

I remember having a Far Cry 3 save bug that went unfixed for years (idk if it ever even got fixed). I would keep 2-3 different saves handy just to not lose all of my progress.

It’s seriously criminal how underpaid those folks are.

I basically have permanent anxiety because of this. My entire life, tasks have been driven by fear and anxiety. My emergency response is fucking amazing because of this. I broke my wrist last year and was in a zen mind state. Handled it like it was nothing and didn’t panic. It makes me wonder if software engineering was the wrong field for me and I should’ve instead been an ambulance driver.

It’s such an easy one to misspell. I was a graphic artist for years and it’s not the first time I’ve seen this error. Glad I could help! Lmao.

“Get you spot” - typo??

This is pretty neat! The new tech for big screens is unreal.

I’m not sure how you’ll be using these tools but Jan might be an option. There are some free AI models you can download and use right in the app locally. https://jan.ai/

Yep. They’ve gotten smarter. Some of the plugins and tools websites use to create a paywall will actually only render part of the article to the browser before the user signs up. They used to simply mask it and you could remove the paywall via editing some CSS in the browser’s dev tools to see all of the text, but that’s not the case anymore.

He would probably hide sensitive government docs in there.

This strikes me as state-funded or state adjacent hacking. Kind of like how the destruction of Twitter eliminated a source of on-the-ground, 24/7 information for the working class on all of the events our governments would prefer we not see so that their propaganda can be produced more lazily. Destroying the Internet Archive acts as another hindrance to the working class when it comes to staying informed and enriched.

I love whoever made the Road Rash, Skitchin’, and Skate 3. Other than that, EA can fuck off. That ship has sailed and I no longer pay attention to their catalog.

To give you a more adult answer, it would be absolutely insane to allow anyone the power to decide whose life is forfeit and whose isn’t. We’ve witnessed that slippery slope before with the death penalty in Texas and Missouri. If we allow that kind of thing to continue or go unchecked, where does it end? How long before someone decides that something else justifies it and where does that power cease to continue expanding? What about rank when it comes to war crimes like you mentioned earlier? It’s easy to say “fuck that guy, they deserve a slow death,” but if society put that into practice, it would be chaos and would set a terrible precedent. Executions are a definitive characteristic of any authoritarian regime.

There are also special cases where a cop or a soldier goes off script and summarily executes someone unarmed. Do they deserve death because of their carelessness for the life of another? I know if the person killed was a friend or family member, I’d hope for the culprit’s death, but I’d never feel like I should be allowed to decide that.

This kind of thing can lead to a very deep dark hole where society blackens and removes all humanity, and leftist movements exist to preserve life.

I don’t believe in the death penalty but I also won’t cry over the death of a fascist carrying out genocide. If he dies a lonely death in a cell, that’s still the same outcome, even if power is a vacuum. It was also a late edit in jest, but I also hope he bites it asap.
