Dropped my ballot in a dropbox 30 minutes ago. My ballot was surprisingly big but I took my time filling it out over 3 days to not get burnt out

I recently texted my ex and now I’m back in deep with my toxic relationship with Rainbow 6: Siege.

Monetization schemes aside I am literally in love with the design of the game. It’s so well suited for team play that encourages everyone to come up with unexpected plans

Holy shit. I’ve been wondering about this for so long

I want to say it was Putt-Putt Goes to the Moon, but it very likely was the earliest Math Blaster, or one of the Reader Rabbit point and click adventure games.

Possibly, it was that Barney game for one of the earliest Macs that came with a giant ball mouse to teach kids how to use a mouse.

IDK, the first I remember falling in love with was Super Smash Bros. on the N64. It made me desperately want an N64

Sure, you don’t need it but it sure made it easier for me and helped me understand what I was lacking

That’s what I was thinking too. Regretting investing so heavily in Nvidia for sure right now

So if the ancestry of programming languages can be traced back like C# => C++ => C => B Then what came before B?

Short answer: Realistic

Long Answer: I think there’s a time and place for both. Idealistic can be very fun and comfortable to fall back on. However, like your typical “Jack Smith, highly-trained and deadly secret government agent” protagonist, there’s way too much idealistic romance in pop culture to the point that I believe it skews how many people expect relationships to work. That’s commonly unhealthy and occasionally dangerous, so I think we need more popular depictions of realistic romance, and by romance I mean all kinds of relationships. ESPECIALLY close, tight-knit non-sexual friendships between men and women.

I named my daughter Rubyonrails

We call her “On” for short

I’ll definitely check out Endeavor. A lot of people are suggesting it. I’m far from ready to install a distro without assistance. I struggle hard enough when I have a GUI to work with already lol

I’m surprised I didn’t see any reference to EndeavourOS when I was looking for alternatives to SteamOS, but with how many people here have recommended it I’ll be sure to see if I’m able to work with that

This is a fantastic guide. Thank you so much! I’ll be sure to try this

Yeah I’ve seen notes around the internet about Gamescope. I’ll be sure to look further into that when I get the OS working. Thanks for the tip

There is absolutely precedent for these exact events. Pick the name of a famous dictator from history out of a hat and they most likely have acquired absolute power through “legal” means.

My life has definitely gotten better since I started doing this. Local restaurants are almost universally better anyways

Despite the privacy concerns, Microsoft says that the Recall index remains local and private on-device, encrypted in a way that is linked to a particular user’s account.

Just like how Microsoft domain-bound emails were stored locally on machines running Outlook, right? Or how purchasing and downloading music, movies, and video games meant that we owned them, right?

I don’t believe for a fucking second that this “feature” will remain locally encrypted forever. Fuck Microsoft, fuck the AI bubble.

“Don’t be evil!

…

wait, you say you’ll pay me to be evil? Well fuck that changes everything!”

If you think the culture celebrates being unhealthy then you should know the only part of the culture that does that is the corporations that benefit off of it. The rest of us are trying to eliminate the unconscious bias people have against people who are “fat.”

If you see someone who you think is unhealthy because they “fat,” think again.

Let me preface what I want to say with the fact that I have previously lost half of my bodyweight largely because of a lack of body positivity in my head, and it’s still lacking.

You seem to be of the mind that people who have “unhealthy habits” should be shamed into living a healthier life. Where does that end? Should only people who physically appear to be unhealthy be shamed? Should people who have actual unhealthy bodies be shamed? Should people who have invisible unhealthy habits like hidden bulimia be shamed? Should people who have unhealthy mental conditions that are only diagnosable by experts be shamed?

I’m not being sarcastic or rhetorical, I’m genuinely curious where the line should be drawn. Some people are physically incapable of losing weight. Some people are perfectly healthy despite appearing overweight, yet they are treated like less valuable people because they don’t conform to beauty standards. Some people are notably ill despite fitting conventional beauty standards.

Body positivity is about eliminating social standards of beauty that ignore health, not about making unhealthy people think they’re better off being unhealthy. Furthermore, health is absolutely a luxury for many people. When survival is expensive, surviving with the time and money to take care of your body can be unattainable

I have never heard that quote. From what context does it come? It sounds somewhat ridiculous to me

Grind by Gojira

I live and breathe satirical art and this song is sarcastic to its core

“You’re all shredded You’re all scarred Fighting the tide

Your tough face on, you think you’ll last long against the grain?”

Plus it’s very cathartic to do a scream-a-long in the car
