  • I don't think this franchise is good movie material. I remember playing the games and not caring about the story at all. There is no character development or interesting plot, just shooting people and everyone acting eccentric and telling potty jokes. The movie had little substance to go off of.

    That's not a diss to the game. It's fine that the game is like that, but they should have recognized it would produce pitfalls for a movie adaptation.

    The cast is a whole other issue. Why would they go with Cate blanchet for this?

  • Yeah fair enough. I looked her up on Wikipedia and verified. However she failed sex eligibility test in 2023 IBA.

    Khelif had been disqualified by the IBA hours before the gold medal match in 2023, reportedly for having high levels of testosterone.

  • Have article that isn't paywalled? I just read the preview before it cut me off and it seemed like it was about a trans woman

  • I think it's because they think the trans woman still has biologically male factors that make the competition not a competition.

  • JD Vance having had intercourse with a couch, be that as it may, doesn't intrinsically mean it was IKEAs couch. Of course he likely didn't have sex with any couch, however often, or other furniture perhaps. But it's still important to distinguish the two situations. I'm glad to know JD Vance likely didn't have sex with any. There is no evidence of course of intercourse from JD Vance, so we can't say JD Vance has or would engage in intercourse to completion with a couch, nor should we.

  • Flatpak haters seem to believe that if an app isn't on their distro's repos, it's the developers' fault.

  • The materials needed to produce batteries and wind turbines and maintain them over time is the issue. Did your 62 page report discuss this?

  • Nah. It doesn't say not to plan. It says to prefer responding to change over planning. Which means both happen but responding to change is more crucial. Or put another way don't let your plan get in the way of responding to change.

    I'm sure you were being sarcastic, but I get kind of tired of the Agile strawman and people shitting on it. It's not a complex philosophy yet people extrapolate so much (too much) and then get annoyed when their assumptions don't pan out well. even performing sprints is an extrapolation, so this meme gets it wrong too.

  • Wife spilled some beer in the keyboard. Screen doesn't turn on, it doesn't hold a charge, keyboard doesn't work. But we need sensitive data off the drive.

    Take it to their "genius" bar where we are told there is nothing that can be done for the old data and we should just buy a new one.

    I take it home, Google a bit and try target disk mode. Et Voila I'm in and can get that data from the hard drive as though it was an external HDD.

    Why the Apple "genius" didn't share this option with me? They don't actually care about helping.

    And that's the rub with Apple. They don't give a fuck about their users or developers. Just want to herd them around to make more money off their overpriced garbage.

  • Adults and teens pick dumbphones to curb social media addiction

  • Are people really so addicted to social media that they can't use their own willpower to simply not have those apps installed?

  • People are seizing, being intubated after eating microdose chocolates

  • I'd love a package to get access to all sorts of news, but each news source seems individually subscription-based, and that all adds up. So I just stick with AP and BBC.

    If I could pay like $25/mo and get access to all the popular news sources I'd do it.

  • So...

    Jump

  • It's making it out like such a revelation wouldn't be damaging. Being a single woman and not being young is not easy. Her taking it in stride like that is unrealistic.

    Ask yourself how you would feel in that situation after investing years in a relationship. Would you be that thrilled to be on the dating scene again and having to start over with someone new?

    Not saying it couldn't be amicable like it has been portrayed, but this strip makes it out like there is nothing sad or difficult about the situation, only focusing on the perspective/agenda of the trans person.

  • Do those things give you DJ and radio options? I'm too lazy to go find the songs I want. I'd rather just let the app put on tunes and learn what I like based on feedback and behavior.
