Can confirm. I work on industrial equipment. Sometimes you just gotta hit it with a hammer.

As a part time Linux gamer myself I couldn’t agree more

One of these companies is gonna do a cost analysis on how much they could be making in additional ad revenue and how much it would cost to equip all their TVs with 5g antennas and pay for the data.

Wait, so you got a projector to avoid the smart features of a tv, but the projector has the smart features anyways, you just don’t use them?

What was the point of getting a projector over a tv?

Can’t you make this same argument for normal driving, or practically anything?

“The splattered biker wasn’t innocent because he knew riding his bike in the bike lane was a dangerous situation, akin to strapping a bomb to his chest”

I understand that it’s a joke, but the humor isn’t making sense to me, and I especially don’t see how it’s at the expense of AAA games

I’ve never understood these memes. If you don’t want to play whatever game, don’t play it. How do you somehow convince yourself that you’re superior to others due to your inability to run certain programs?

Yup as soon as this happened all the restaurants stopped removing bones from the wings and now boneless wings are impossible to get thanks to this ruling we are famished

Do you have any links to these videos?

I’ve been no-lifing the game since launch and have yet to see any hackers…

It’s odd that I’ve only seen complaints about there being hackers in the game in the context of the anti-cheat. Nobody that I’ve played with or any of the people in my games have complained about hackers, yet every conversation involving the TPM/ secure boot bullshit (which I agree is ridiculous and invasive) involves multiple claims of hackers.

I almost begin to wonder if anecdotal experiences are being fabricated to push a narrative, but then I remember it’s impossible to lie on the internet.

It’s either this or a giant brand new home in a manicured gated community, there is no in between

Yeah, fair point. I had a counter I wanted to make, but it sounded more like US apologia than defense of Liberia’s national identity, so I’ll settle with “it’s a tricky subject”, which is hard to disagree with, haha

They’ve been independent for a while, isn’t it kinda disrespectful to say they’re “just a segregated colony”?

leaves chicken on counter for a week

The chicken’s fate isn’t sealed until it is converted to poo.

There’s still time for you, little one

I liked the part where they used this song in Osmosis Jones (not the rape part but still)

My guess is some marketing intern over there saw this phrase on a shitty US flea market and was like, “that’s a great slogan!”

It does not have to be “deciphered”. C’mon, now. It might seem kinda strange when it’s written out, but this is a completely normal sentence to say. The only way I can see this being misconstrued in good faith is maybe if English wasn’t someone’s first language, but if literally anyone besides Trump said this it wouldn’t even raise an eyebrow, let alone be headline worthy.

Is there a specific reason why, or just… Trump bad?

Again, don’t get me wrong, Trump bad, but we gotta have standards.

“President Xi was willing to do the railroad things—that’s magnets,” he said. “Now, nobody knows what a magnet is. If you don’t have a magnet, you don’t have a car. You don’t make a computer, you don’t make, er, televisions and radios and all the other things—you don’t make anything."

That’s exactly what it is. Could’ve been stated a little more clearly but this is a completely coherent statement. The man does a dozen deplorable things a day, are we really that starved for headlines that this is what we’re reporting on?

Almost convinced that his administration is paying for these articles so people will look at them and complaints about the Epstein files as equally valid.

God damn, it really just takes a jump off a cliff. I was at least willing to read it to gain an understanding of their perspective, but once I got to the “the difference between men and women is wokeness” section it just completely derailed any chance of me finishing it. We’re actually fucked.
