My guess would be magnets

What about U and V, and for that matter, W?

He a little confused but he got the spirit

This is Stryker on Crash FM, covering all things Burnout. It's about causing as much damage as possible. SMASH into the crash junction, grab whatever pickups you can, and watch the greatest crashing chain-reaction ever. Want Rock? Crash!

If you aren't willing to eat ads, and you aren't willing to be the product, and you aren't willing to pay a subscription, then why do you think you're entitled to content?

You’re overthinking things. I click one button once and I never see ads, for years at a time without needing to tweak it at all. This is also completely free to set up and completely legal.

The fact of the matter is that this technology exists, and they can do nothing to stop it. Despite this, they continue to rely on the ad supported model. Curious, no?

then why would they want to spend money serving you for free?

Because if I post a link to a video and as a result someone sees an ad —or better, signs up for premium—then boom, they just made a profit. There is of course a critical threshold of adblockers where this no longer works but we’re not near it yet so they won’t change their revenue model.

Note: I am not taking a moral high ground here, just pointing out how it works. Yes, you are subsidizing me, thanks for that.

IF ITS TOO QUIET MAYBE WE SHOULD TYPE LOUDER?

I want cheese on my hands

Yea, sadly. You can open the app to hear some music and get a link to the merch store. It also unlocks an extra in the developer’s other app, pixel pals. But no browsing

What was the name lol

Well, it kind of is, but in a roundabout way.

It doubles in strength and I think is unbreakable inside the final dungeon and possibly against guardians as well. Can tell for sure because it starts glowing

The weapons breaking and stuff is whatever, eventually you just tune it out. They shower you with new stuff constantly, so the idea is to use a little of everything. No comment on whether that’s a good or bad thing, it’s probably the most divisive part of the game. Just is what it is.

You do get permanent loot in the form of clothing (which can have interesting special properties) and powers and such

Instead of typing with letters we could perhaps invent a type of joystick-centric gestural language, similar to inputting tricks in a skateboarding game

Oh, lol yeah I was talking about tallwookie’s “criminals are not known for caring about the law” slant.

New Mexico situation is wild. Unilaterally banning guns in response to a shooting is not a good move, especially when your Sheriff is publicly vowing not to enforce it

Okay okay.

So. Instead of inserting layers of metaphors and renaming a gun ban to “making murder double illegal”, what if we just called it what it is, “making gun ownership illegal”

You are taking it for granted that it will always definitely be okay to own a gun as long as you don’t commit a crime with it. What we are discussing currently is whether ownership should be a crime in and of itself. On the most fundamental level, do you think a law directly targeting gun ownership could possibly have any effect?

And before this turns into a whole thing, it may come as a shock for you to learn that I do not personally support such a ban. The article you listed says in quite plain language that higher wages and better opportunity is what decrease crime, after all. The only thing I take issue with right now is the ludicrous assertion that the law has no effect on “criminals” because they will simply break the law.

I can guarantee you a gun ban would reduce the number of guns, and the strategy of trying to gaslight people into believing it wouldn’t is fundamentally ineffective. If you support ownership then you should want to nip these arguments in the bud as well, as they’re only going to backfire

So we can charge them and put them away from society.

What do you mean? I thought criminals could simply ignore all laws, are you saying it’s possible for laws to have some effect after all?

Its already illegal to murder

Why? Murderers don’t care about the law

Pedophiles don’t care about the law either it seems, so would you say we should just get rid of all laws pertaining to that?

Artemis.camp is the site! But yeah, it rocks

I think I know what they mean

So, here’s a recent comment thread I was in:

Here’s what I see when I view that thread after clicking on a message in my inbox. I’m missing the parent comment, which in long threads especially, can be very confusing:

Things are looking great on my feed, seeing a ton of interesting stuff. Browsing masto a bit as well.

I browse all, mostly. Many of the niche communities have been pretty empty, but many others have been about as active as some smaller subreddits I used to follow.
