They think when the chaos hits they'll be the ones climbing the ladder instead of the ones being used as a ladder.

I could be entirely wrong about this but isn't it in-universe lore that Elves don't see the curvature of the world and that's how they can see so far?

George Jetson was able to support his whole family off his single job working one hour a day, two days a week and his job was to just push a button.

The people in the past were Incredibly optimistic about the future.

That's what I'm hoping for as well. The Switch is a great console and the only thing it really needs is upgraded hardware.

I don't know how relevant this is to you but I was looking at getting a Boox since it would easily let me read my Kindle and Kobo books on a single device without any hassle. However, it achieves this by running their apps so the books are segregated. There's no one library with all your books. Your Kindle books are only on the Kindle app, your Kobo books are only on the Kobo app, your library books are only on the Libby app.

It sounded really tedious to have to flip between a bunch of different apps to track all my books so I decided to just stick with Kobo.

Her quote never really felt that outrageous. She wasn't even calling all Trump supporters "deplorable". Here's her quote

“You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right?” Clinton said. “The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic—you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up.” She said the other half of Trump’s supporters “feel that the government has let them down” and are “desperate for change.” “Those are people we have to understand and empathize with as well,” she said.

Strippers don't rotate around the pole. The pole itself is rotating.

If I was a corrupt Russian general, embezzling funds meant for nuclear deterrence upkeep would be a pretty safe bet since they are the weapons least likely to ever be used and thus least likely to be found out.

That's exactly what I thought as well from reading the headline. It definitely could have been worded better.

I thought it said "his shole had teeth" and it took me awhile to both notice the B and to really be it was for censorship.

Reminds me of the Trump supporter that was surprised when her undocumented husband got deported.

Shit like this is why calling Republicans weird is resonating so well. You certainly can't call someone who gets a politician's name tattooed on their forehead normal.

This and the Nike ad have been the worst ads during the Olympics.

I agree although I paused a bit at "is still". I think it's because it was written left to right but at that point I was trying to read it right to left.

If the is was right aligned there it would have worked perfectly.

I don't think you'd have prostitution in a currencyless society. They wouldn't be prostitutes at that point.

It's something some schools do. It's not mandated by the government.

I bought a SteamDeck as a way to test and see what works and what doesn't on Linux. So far all my games have run with no issues.

I'm likely going to be posting and searching through a lot of Linux forums as Win10 gets closer to EOL.

They're protesting by threatening to do what they are already doing.

This is what I'm going to have to do as well since my computer isn't compatible with Win11. The only thing I'm worried about is gaming.

What's funny is the "blonde bombshell in a catsuit" turned out to be one of the best characters on the show.

That's where I'm at right now. As much as I disagree with some of his current actions, I still think he's better than Trump.

If the other seasons are as good as the first season I'm all for this. Adaptations of game franchises can be hit or miss but this was really well done.

I didn't realize you could put the steam deck to sleep with a game still running. I had assumed it would cause game issues.

Out of curiosity, what do you use to transfer files between computers?

Do you have any recommendations for a specific brand?

I love the idea of karma police. It definitely sounds like the plot for an interesting movie.

Quest 64 really brings me back. I haven't thought about that game in a long time.

When I think about what I would do if I suddenly found myself transported to another world, the last thing I would be doing is looking for a job as a mercenary. As stupid as a lot of the plot is, I really like Striving for a Luxury Liner simply because the MC recognizes that he's not cut out to be an adventurer and becomes a merchant instead.

The only isekai I've read that properly utilized the isekai genre was Release that Witch since the MC's "cheat" is his knowledge of mechanical engineering. He kicks off his own little industrial revolution to defend his territory.

My main critique of the genre is how lazy it's done. There's nothing wrong with having the MC reincarnated, transported, or made overpowered. One Punch Man has a massively overpowered MC but it's still really good. The problem is that they're all low effort cookie cutter stories that are just checking items off a list.

They're also fairly unrealistic. "Gasp...is this that isekai thing I've been reading about? I guess I'll go join the Adventurer Guild and get a super dangerous job killing monsters despite the fact that I've never been in a dangerous situation before."

There's no way all these random people will just calmly accept finding themselves in another world with no freaking out or depression setting in first.

I didn't realize there would be sex scenes in it. Glad to know before I started watching. I miss the days when it was pretty safe to watch anything. I wish all these producers would realize that some people have families and that we don't need sex scenes and nudity in everything.

Noita is way too hard for me. I finally managed to beat the "tutorial" and that was good enough for me.

As a programmer, I consider The User to be the enemy. No matter how thoroughly I seemingly test my code, the second the user gets their hands on it, it breaks left and right from all the crazy shit they do.

Plenty of time to learn how to meditate.

Worst case scenario you take the slow way to another planet. The only limiting factor depends on just how immortal you are. If you don't need to eat or drink, then you could travel to another planet right now with current technology.

Obama really did open the floodgates on all the racists. I guess I was really naive, but I had no idea there were so many racist everywhere.

Majora's Mask is the best Zelda game. However, Wind Waker is my favorite Zelda game. The setting, art style, and musical score all combined perfectly to make a game that was both really fun and relaxing. No Zelda game since has ever matched the feeling of sailing to the Great Sea soundtrack.

Wow. I didn't realize at first that this picture already did the fact swap. I was mentally swapping their heads before I realized.
