Thank you for your service.

I’m more of an elliptical orbit kinda guy. Sometimes I almost get it but most of the time the point just keeps getting farther and farther away.

What you are referring to is known as Appeasement and, historically, has been a bad idea.

I don’t run, but when I do it’s not at the 18 mile mark but the 3 minute mark where my bodies like “it’s all gotta go”

Well it’s a .ru domain so that site is russian and there is this bit

That is why the current government of Burkina Faso needs Russian assistance not only to ensure victory over terrorism, but also to carry out effective economic reforms, create new jobs, and develop resources on equal terms.

Which doesn’t mean anything per se but it’s kinda suspect.

I’m just happy they found them. Historically, the TSA doesn’t do a good job finding guns.

I think that was the Super Max 8?

Two things here. One is that you are confusing New York and New York City. I absolutely do believe an entire state can manage better than a city. The second thing is that Texas and other border states do receive federal funds for managing the border. Not as much as maybe they require but they do get federal help.

There Is a game call Ancient Domains of Mystery (ADoM) that has been around since the early 90’s. It’s a traditional Roguelike that I picked up and started playing in 2003 and I have yet to actually beat the game. I have thousands of hours on it in Steam and much much more than that before the Steam release and I have yet to actually win. It’s hard.

Does it matter? Endlessly pontificating about the true nature of reality serves no purpose. If I’m driving and I’m about to hit a tree, reality doesn’t give a single fuck if I consider “well maybe the tree isn’t really there. How can I truly know?”

Like, I was talking with a guy and he was saying shit about how can we truly know that what I say is the color green is the same as what you see? It just feels mastubatory. It’s what words are for. If that guy asks me to go to the store and buy forest green paint from a certain brand and I come back with forest green paint from that brand he’s not going to worry about whether or not we see the exact same shade.

I know. I was just saying that the American in the pic is only puzzled because they are mindlessly scrolling and posting on Twitter. When the time comes to go to an event like that they are also just as likely to take the train without much thought to it either

No one is puzzled. This was a case of someone casually scrolling and commenting without critical thought. Which, let’s be honest, we are all guilty of that and the other guy taking the opportunity to dunk with an AmEriCa Am I rIgHt???

We are Canada’s pants.

Ah. The forgotten lands, according to some maps.

Well said. To add to this, mother’s are still going through a hurricane of hormones and exhaustion when both they and the baby are just starting to learn how to latch. I remember my wife crying saying she was a bad mother, and the baby hates her, and that she is so stupid to think she could do this. It was heartbreaking.

I kinda wish the article has expanded on what he said, if anything. Does he still think they are well made games even if he doesn’t like the direction?

Like, I don’t like the new Zelda games, I don’t think they have stayed true to the original Zelda (not you Zelda II) games. That said, I cannot deny that a lot of care and polish went into them, I just don’t like the direction.

Sure, the new God of War games are not the original avatar-of-rage Kratos but they are still exceptional games.

I thought the same thing. Here’s the archived Texas Observer article on it, which is what this article’s source seems to be.

Apparently the principal heard from another student that this kid was “making threats” against her. Sounds pretty thin to me.

I’m not even mad. I’m impressed, that’s amazing.

That post is outstanding and is a wonderful writeup that highlights the danger of associating with a company as morally bankrupt as Meta.

There is concern that Threads will use embrace, extend, extinguish to depreciate the ActiviyPub protocol. Essentially, they adopt the open standard, expand on it with proprietary additions, then when everyone is using the modified standard they drop support for the open standard and now everyone has to play ball by their rules.
