Not very many accidents out in the middle of nowhere highways, although in my experience last holiday season there wasn’t a single jabroni hogging the left lane. Granted, I usually drive everyone back at like 1 am, so mileage may vary.

You’re absolutely right in the middle of the city though, and the number of people who get angry at you for not going 60 on a 40 mph blvd is way higher than it should be. I got honked at and a guy swerved around me just got both of us to get stuck at the same red. Those are the people who will certainly kill pedestrians.

Btw, this isn’t considering how they get there. Google and iOS both push some of these sources on their newsfeed apps (and probably first hits when you Google search something).

Not to say the average person isn’t brainwashed, just that the oligarchy feeds its own.

Hey now, they have satirical news too.

Wait, I’ve been informed it’s not satirical. Wtf?

Oh but don’t you want to know first which Democrat places like Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas would like? You know, those bastions of democracy.

/s, like it’s needed lol.

I wonder. People saying it isn’t VPNs aren’t necessarily wrong but I do want to say it’s likely they are using bot networks to mass create accounts and those might use IP rotation. Those IPs can come from any fucking place. I’ve only seen it from scraping operations, but I bet it’s necessary when mass operating bullshit accounts.

US proxies exist, but they’re more expensive and wouldn’t make as much sense for mass creating if your goal is just to avoid getting blocked.

Fuckin’ rad.

I was just a tiny bit too young to get into it properly, as my brother and I would turn off enemies and just explore the world in that game (I loved vents and secret door). Instead, I got heavily into its level maker.

I was 9. Lol

Oh God, the European version would be pedo in a speedo.

Wow. I see now why experts are saying that was written by Russia, at least in part. Especially the parts clearly steered by Russian propaganda like the Nazi thing. Also 50% to the US? That’s really, really stupid.

Hmm. Neat. I didn’t mind Prop 50 mostly because it’s a one off thing. Plus we already know Rs already are more represented in the house than they should be due to gerrymandering, so it’s not like there aren’t other states to offset, lol.

Maybe it’s meant to be “shirts that make you hard?” Lol

I’m a little curious how this impacts CAs efforts, as I believe those were meant to be contingent on TX but with appeals existing and the timeframe, I’m not sure when or if they’ll undo what they were going to do in CA. And CAs is pretty obviously not race driven, even if it’s blatantly partisan (yet that’s legal because fuck us).

Would be really funny though if this backfires such that Ds get more gerrymandered seats overall, though, lol.

Nice, earlier this year I wanted to to likewise but with Professor Oak challenges, which is get every Pokemon as early in progression we possible. I did it on Blue but it was quite miserable grinding lvl 36 Blastoise fighting only lvl 6 stuff prior to the first badge.

Suffice to say I took a break after that, but I’ll hit Silver next. Fast forward on emulation was a godsend, as well as achievement tracking for keeping track of how many more I had to grab before the next badge (it got really weird because you can skip Lt Surge and just keep going without the HM lol)

Holy hell, your recommendation algorithm is all sorts of fucked. I tried to replicate it but just searching for “FOSS budgeting software comparison” it looks like there’s a few legit ones in the mix, but plenty of AI, too.

I’m not going to watch them to check though, since hitting one AI one will probably make them all AI, lol.

I agree we don’t know if they’re loss leaders yet. I will say that even if the hardware is priced at a loss, though, it’ll sell more Steam games. Ultimately I don’t know if it really matters.

Though yeah, people should get past headlines. Lol

Headphones won’t break your ears any worse than loud speakers do, and noise cancelling headphones are actually a solution to blocking loud noise (e.g. construction), or for people who get overstimulated.

In fact, since headphones can block out sound you might even be listening at a lower volume than if you were trying to drown out sound with speakers, assuming the headphones have any noise cancellation (even just muffled cups). Even just competing with ambient noise can cause us to raise volumes more than necessary.

Shitpost aside, my dad did honey mustard under the dog while topping it with chili and cheese. It’s the only way to do that combo right.

Banana for scale, our solar system is a lot smaller than I initially thought.

Before the Internet got social media, we had the GameFAQs voting thing; you’d get head to head popularity contests of coolest characters. Cloud always won, but it was nice to check daily to see who was most popular.

I still use GameFAQs, though. Even after the buyout, the guides are important to those of us RetroAchevement-ing through some older titles.

Haha, your quote is almost the exact line I’ve read. HR email was literally saying how they should talk to them first and about them failing. Lol

I can’t speak to Rockstar directly but I do know some game companies send anti-union propaganda emails regularly. To take the next step and fire people is entirely believable given when I’ve seen HR push out.
