I bought a pile of Steam sales early on, and Humble Bundles to the point I can't bring myself to spend money anymore on games I won't play... my backlog is too much, but damn, the Epic store's freebie of the week? You can bet your ass I'm building up a backlog in that store too. There has been some junk in that but every now and then they have a fun little puzzle game or something - which is about my pace these days.
I'll also recommend this video for some further insight into this project: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWhHJWKa6CQ
And it's detrimental how?
They're very open about who sponsors. And you can't tell me that their production quality is cheap.
Can confirm. We had an infestation of house hippos last year and didn't even notice them until half way through winter and realizing all of our mittens were missing.
"Does a bear shit in the woods?"
Might be a regional thing but people would often say this as a sarcastic but emphatic "Yes" reply to people, particularly "obvious" answers.
Truth is, my personal observation is that they will make every opportunity to come out on the nearest road or field and shit there.
Obviously one could argue the pedantry (eg rural = woods, or most shit is in wooded areas) but my point is back to there actually being enough nuance to argue the point that they aren't making the point they think they are when they say that.
I'm fun at parties!
Skip to the last half of the season. And if you decide you want to know how they go to where they are, go back and finish the first half. Honestly, with original trilogy coming out first, then Rogue One, then the Andor seasons, it's probably the traditional way to watch! :)
And that's how you know for sure they are full of shit, or at the very least schizophrenic.
If I saw aliens, and some dude in a suit hushed me with a billion dollars, I'd be living on a yacht the next day.
Perfect is the enemy of good. In the real world we celebrate drops by like 1%. Disregarding *every *other issue with this hypothetical situation, a drop by 82% would be oh so incredibly world changing.
You aren't wrong because violence is violence no matter the offender, but by bringing "whataboutism" in, you are arguably demonstrating bad faith right off the bat starting your discussion. At this point, if you are serious about wanting to tangent and discuss about solving the last 18%, maybe take it to its own thread? Like over to showerthoughts or asklemmy? I do think that's always worth discussing, as is discussing how to solve the original 82% without the nuclear option. :)
Finally, this community is kind of memey. Let the witches cook.
Fun fact: In a society of all women, women would suddenly be the known perpetrators of 100% of all violent offences!
This one is well established and old enough that it has it's own wikipedia article.
^ Right here. Company I worked at had trash dropped in the back of one our service vehicles (as well as some straight up vandalism), had lots of personally identifying info and the culprit had already made themselves well known to our staff a couple weeks prior. Guy told the police the trash was stolen and nothing further ever happened with it.
People that care about you would prefer you to wear a Styrofoam hat instead of a soup brain too.
I understood that reference.
I guess traditional media is getting their face eaten? Kind of and barely?
Rewritten it could work but as it is written and posted it's a weak ass LAMF imo.
More depressing than anything.
It's been pretty decent enough in my experience but gotta go to the original. I recall there used to be a .com or alternativeDASHto knockoff that used to show up in google results and that was definitely SEO spammy (been a couple years since I accidentally clicked into one though.)
That's it right here boys and girls. The only defining factor for utility: Can it fit a sheet of plywood. God help you if you just prop it up - you gotta limp it home if you do that! Needs to sit flat in the bed!
Everything else is a fucking toy.
Like did you evolve your entire personality around the disturbing characters? Or did you watch them a couple times, quote a few lines here and there?
There is a line and if you are worried people don't like you anymore because of these movies you probably crossed into the former. The movies are not problematic, but unfortunately the way some people get into them is.
To emphasize: This is not automatically your fault because you enjoyed watching a show.
Media is full of things like this and there a few people that take fandom too far. They are characters and we are intended to hate the characters. Should we feel empathy as we watch their journey? Yes but empathy shouldn't forgive the crimes they commit. We can feel a connection to their pain but take the lesson and instead of idolize, try to do better.
9.9.9.10 is not a "canadian version". It's their "Unsecured: No Malware blocking, no DNSSEC validation (for experts only!)" address. See: https://www.quad9.net/service/service-addresses-and-features for more information about their different DNS addresses.
Quad9 is a Swiss non-profit. Check the rest of that page for more information on what they do and what they offer.
CIRA is the government sanctioned registrar overseeing the top level domain ".ca". As a non-profit built for this purpose, they have branched out to both DNS (as discussed here), as well as operating an Internet Speed Test.
Whichever way you go, don't get too hung up on this. Moving away from 8.8.8.8 (or even 1.1.1.1 if anyone uses cloudflares service) is your goal. Even going back to your Canadian ISP's DNS is going to be adequate as well if you just want to replace Google.
And even if ownership wasn't a concern, Opera completely lost me when they let go most of their original developers at around the same time. Vivaldi is the spiritual successor with many original developers. I count that as a win in the ethical direction anyway (even if they still run chromium under the hood as well.)
