Mossy Feathers (They/Them)

Yeah, I’m sure South Africa emerged from apartheid just so they could defend a colonizer.

You know, he could have gone down in history as the angry meme man who told people they were fired on TV; and his crimes and shitty personality would have likely gone overlooked until after his death. Instead, he ran for president and this is how everyone is going to remember him. Incoherent, rambling, unstable, stupid, out of control, and demented; all while being regularly trotted out in front of the media by his own party like he’s some kind of show animal.

I don’t feel pity for him, but I can’t help but be amused at how he didn’t just shoot his legacy in the foot, he blew it up with a grenade.

That’s because people are insane and unhinged, and love whipping themselves up into frenzies.

Tbh, they probably deserve to die.

I’ve also been to the US (west coast, Portland) and Jebus, that was terrible. First they don’t give you a pizza but a slice of pizza, then it’s reheated because they make a lot of it and can’t sell it fresh. The toppings is dry ham and tasteless cheese, a ton of cheese, but just flavorless cheese. I tried in a couple of places there with practically the same result. Thanks, but no thanks.

WTF, that doesn’t sound even remotely correct. How much did you pay, $0.50? You got scammed dude. I’m from Texas which, afaik, is probably at the bottom of the list of “places you think of when someone says, ‘pizza’” but I’ve had way better pizza than what you’re describing. Hell, Pizza Hut is probably better than what you’re describing lol. That sounds horrid.

nor anything they would foam at the mouth to promote

Honestly, maybe they should lmao. It’d be really funny to see how people react to Democrats leaning hard into the unhinged shit the right is putting out and countering by committing to not do the thing the Republicans are doing; while also treating it like some legitimately new, revolutionary idea. It’d take a lot of work, but American politics would become extremely entertaining for the final two months before the election.

All three land crossings between Israel and Jordan were closed following the attack, the Israel Airports Authority said. The Allenby crossing mainly serves Palestinians and foreigners, with Israelis not permitted to use it.

How convenient. Sorry if I lack sympathy, I’m just not sure how much of what is coming out of Israel’s mouth is trustworthy anymore.

Are you sure that’s not a microphone for videos? It’d be really weird to have a hole like that. Water should easily push itself through that hole. I honestly don’t know what you’re talking about when it comes to air pressure. I’m pretty sure your eardrums can survive close to a 1 atmosphere difference in pressure, and those are way more fragile than your phone. I’m not sure why your phone would need to normalize air pressure.

It seems like the big weakness of torrents is that if the front-end goes down, then no one can get new torrents anymore, making the front-end an obvious target due to its centralized nature. However, has anyone considered making an activitypub-powered torrent tracker/download site? Kinda like a hybrid between soulseek and BitTorrent. The sites in the network all get torrent information from each other so you have a billion front-ends. Good luck stopping that if they all sync their databases together.

I said that I’d be very concerned if I pissed and farts started coming out instead. Like, I went to pee but farts came out of my urethra.

Imagine if poop came out!

But farts aren’t supposed to come out of your pee hole.

…Right?

Personally, I’d find it very concerning if I went to piss and farts started coming out instead.

Maybe the most significant issue is that, for some reason, the Seekers of the Storm update has tied Risk of Rain 2’s physics systems to its frame rate. When asked about it on Discord, Gearbox developer GBX-Preston said FPS-related issues, “and all the ramifications on balance/physics/attack speed/movement/etc. were not intentional. This is in our top handful of issues we’re investigating.” As a stopgap, he said players experiencing issues should lock the game at 60 fps.

Amazing. How the fuck did you do that?

Man, it has been fascinating and kinda horrifying to see what Twitter can get away with due to their size. Imagine if a major Lemmy instance was hosting arms deals.

Sam and Max. I want some more point and click adventure games.

Jesus Christ what a wild story. Is it possible that Craven simply wanted to do good, but “as a white, abled man” wasn’t opening doors so they felt they had to pretend to be someone else? From what it sounds like, a lot of what they and their “”“partners”“” did was legitimately helpful. The thing that leaves me confused is that they probably could have fleeced people for significantly more money but didn’t. They didn’t have to put the amount of effort into it as they did. Is it possible they were trying to do the right thing but were going about it the wrong way?

Diamonds aren’t even cool anymore. Laboratory gems, however, are fucking awesome.

As someone is very much not cisgender, I look at it and go “Well, isn’t every FTM going to pick Body Type A with male pronouns while MTFs like myself go with Body Type B with female pronouns? Who outside of a Far Right Troll trying and failing to be funny is gonna pick the buff bearded dude and select the she/her pronouns?”

Me! What do you have against bearded, manly ladies? They’re awesome!

It is kinda lazy to have “full masculine” and “full feminine” as your only choices while pretending they aren’t just “male” or “female”, but at the same time, I think it’s a step in the right direction. Today the options might be “not-man” and “not-woman”, but the future might have “not-man”, “not-woman”, “man-woman” and “woman-man”!

Please stop putting RGB on everything? Can we return to the cool colored plastics for a bit and see what modern technology can do? I bet you could do some wild shit with modern plastics.

I mean, my idea was that it would be effectively mothballed until we have the technology to restore it or something, so the shielding doesn’t really matter. But yeah, the delta-v would probably destroy it. I kinda doubt it could handle it.
