Same thing with Twitter. I went from seeing a linked/embedded tweet and clicking it to really having a bit of a crisis in the form of: “do I really need to click on that or can I do literally anything else to get the same information?” (e.g. how I saw facebook/instagram links before)

FPS for the most part, though I’ve played Dota. I find Deadlock much easier to approach as an FPS. Something about Dota just felt like I was playing with one hand tied behind my back. I could not, for the life of me, get proficient at jungling, but here it makes a lot more sense to me. Last hitting feels more intuitive to me. I think the spirit orb mechanic is fantastic as a skill game against your lane opponent.

Will someone please think of the companies!!!

The Pledge of Allegiance is what kids say, not the Star Spangled Banner. The Pledge is a little light on drama and more nationalist than patriotic imo. Not too terribly bad, except for the “under God” part they added in 1954.

Want to throw me an invite? I really want to try it, but none of my friends are on it. I stopped playing OW when they jumped the shark and announced OW2. You can only play if you know someone who is playing, right?

Agreed, outside of union employees (teachers, police, teamsters) what employer is paying into pensions still? Certainly no small businesses are, right? Pensions are largely dead. I don’t know the numbers, but small business owners bigger costs are providing healthcare and other benefits, not pensions. Maybe I’m misunderstanding something, but this person sounds like they’re a centrist democrat on both sides of the economic/social divide.

I’m sure Bill Watterson has some thoughts on AI.

We would just need Wisconsin or Pennsylvania to adopt it if the currently “pending” states adopted it. This is actually a lot closer to being possible than I thought.

No donut for that guy.

Don’t forget to add padding, so I’d just round it out to 18 months to be safe.

Yes, this person is addicted to Factorio and does not even know it yet.

I know this is about Fox, but I want to continue to share that neither is NPR. It is an independent nonprofit that operates independently of the government and gets less than 1% of it’s operaiting budget from federal sources.

Oh interesting…the plot thickens!

Some of the UI mods are really good. Gives what can be a bit of a clunky experience some QOL features and look.

For the optical media side of things, the name was coined by Phillips while they were consorting with Sony to develop the standard and named it the “Compact Disc” to compliment their already existing “Compact Cassette” product. They developed an official logo for the format which spelled it “disc.” That’s been with us ever since.

Didn’t LaserDisc predate Compact Discs?

We have a house with a Kennedy sign up front in our neighborhood. I just don’t get it. At least with Trump you get the whole cult of personality thing which can explain it.

That one says “bonkers idiot lives here” instead of “racist lives here”

Don’t bother, they already got him.

It’s hard to overstate

This will certainly be brought up in his next bail hearing, eh? He’s a flight risk!
