"Ah, I've had hallucinations like this before, I think I've woken up but it's just a dream, isn't it? I should have realized I wasn't going to wake up today..."

ARIENU DESU NE? Hai. Arienu so desu.

Excerrent.

I hope you didn't deface such a thing in the glorious nation of Nippon. Shamefur dispuray, great disgrace to famiry.

Dirty Little secret most people don't know is that most web browsers are either written by Google (via chromium), or substantially supported by funding from Google to keep the search engine as Google.

One of the immediate outcomes of the recent antitrust suit against Google for this practice is therefore going to be that many web browsers are scrambling for new sources of revenue.

But I will say, when you realize just how much revenue Firefox has been earning, it seems like they should be more than capable of maintaining a web browser and email client forever based on money they should have in the bank...

The idea that anyone who voted against George W. Bush for Katrina is still voting for Harris is mind blowing to me. Turns out he just needed to wear a rainbow flag and all his political sins would be forgiven!

Seems like a good example of someone reinventing the wheel because they get tax money, and in the process asking for a bunch of stuff that isn't theirs.

You've used free wi-fi before. I've used free wi-fi before. You don't need to run code from some mega state to use it, you just sign up and press on through the TOS.

Much of North Africa used to be Christian before the Islamic conquerors came and took the place over. Even parts of Europe were taken over by Islamic conquerors, particularly Spain. People need to know more history.

I didn't mind it (but I never played the original much so it isn't like a remake of a game I loved where I immediately turn off the new stuff). The only thing with halo 1 is I found it got repetitive after a while because I they obviously reused a lot of assets.

Any system that solely relies on a computer to not literally explode is poorly designed.

I watched a neat presentation by a nuclear plant operator, and they talked about defense in depth applied to safety. You know no one control system is 100%, so for key safety features you have multiple completely separate systems so if one catastrophically fails the others will step in independently. In this case you'd want something like battery protection circuitry that runs separately from the machines computers.

I'm not sayin nothing, but American would probably taste like wagyu beef imagine the nice marbling!

I played the first three during the pandemic. Played halo 2 with my brother when it was new, but the master chief collection was great.

The question I want Trump or Vance to ask their counterparts is as follows: "You've repeatedly spread the claim, debunked by Snopes, that Donald Trump called neo nazis and white supremacists very fine people. What punishment do you feel you deserve for spreading misinformation and disinformation you certainly knew was false?"

Less and less, I think. At some point it just stops even being fun dunking on it. It's like the first few times you win a basketball game against the kid in a wheelchair it's funny but eventually it's just sad.

"but... But you don't understand! You HAVE to watch it or we'll call you names!"

There's a lot of them, the one thing that I will say is he can really see the strings.

Dat clussy

I've been calling China the wests picture of Dorian Gray. We look great whole just moving the Pollution from somewhere we can see to somewhere we can't. Then we can pretend we're so good without actually needing to change anything.

Well that's where it's not just about being a sperm donor, it's about being a family patriarch. Which makes it not just about having the kids but raising the kids, and participating the lives of the grandchildren, and depending on how early you start maybe even participating in the lives of the great-grandchildren.

Even outside the realm of humans, in pre-human primates, the outcomes of a child are improved measurably if the grandparents remain alive after that child reaches adulthood, and again if the parents reach adulthood.

The reality is, everyone in power wants you to feel disempowered. They want you to think that the future is a black pill that only they can protect you from. The same reality is that the ultimate white pill should be that it is indisputable how powerful and important being a parent is, and by being a parent I don't just mean creating your own spawn, but participating in the raising of your children.
