  • I'll try to remember you when I don't go into crippling financial debt for stubbing my toe.

  • It’s amazing that you’re allowed to just spout misinformation like this. Less educated people might believe you.

  • Not OP, but my most recent car is a 2016 Hyundai Accent, and I think it's perfect. The doors and ignition operate with physical keys, the displays are all physical indicators directly behind the wheel, all the controls have tactile, physical buttons instead of a touchscreen, no infotainment system, and no subscription options.

    I don't think I'd ever want a car more "smart" than that, but I'm not sure such a thing even exists anymore.

  • Kelvinverse was different from the Prime timeline before the Narada arrived because people past that point might not travel backwards in time the same way they would have without intervention.

  • A city under siege with no police protection is an emergency, full stop.

  • It’s always the people who weren’t there who continue to push the idea that it was a peaceful protest.

  • No, according to the courts (one court), an emergency in one city does not meet the requirements for the Federal emergencies act, and didn’t take into account the negligence of the multiple layers of regional policing and government who refused to act.

  • Didn’t I read in another thread that Tencent owns Larian? Didn’t they just win, like, every game award ever in 2023?

  • Since Musk bought Twitter I've been more active on Tumblr and as long as you don't go anywhere that takes itself too seriously, it's actually refreshing and lovely.

    Similarly, when I signed up for Bluesky I decided I'd only follow people I know IRL and artists, and to not be afraid to use the mute or block, and it's been great. Just a steady stream of art and people discussing art.

    I've also got Mastodon, Pillowfort, and Cohost accounts I never really use.

  • Now now, the cops were doing something: they tried to break up the Ottawa people at Billing’s Bridge who were preventing more trucks from getting downtown.

    The cops weren’t sitting on their asses, they were complicit.

  • Picked up Another Code Recollection. Never played the original on the 3DS, and I'm really enjoying it.

  • Yep! One of the worst burns I’ve ever gotten too. The potato sticks to you like glue and doesn’t come off right away.

    Really sucks.

  • If the penalty for a crime is a fine, then that crime only exists for the poor.

  • Lots of companies "accidentally" including artificially generated works in their games/books/ads lately.

    They probably pre-write the apologies.

  • Season 3 worked because of the ensemble cast, though. The first two where it was "Picard and Friends" felt weird, and not like what anyone really wanted, and if this is another "Just Picard" thing it's likely to end up the same.

  • She doesn't like Star Wars because it's too woke, which is why she's a Trekkie instead. Implying that Star Trek isn't woke. Which is ridiculous.

  • Yeah. Getting out of physical media now, as every streaming service is hitting peak enshittification, is such a wild choice for Best Buy to be making, it has to have been handed to them by people trying to keep people on streaming. Now is the time to be making a killing in physical media.

  • Ah, so this is where they’re pivoting after getting away from NFTs.

  • Yeah, I've been catching up on Doctor Who and the ads at the beginning of episodes were skippable last week, but today they're not, and the ads they're talking about in this article don't even start until the end of January, so it's likely to just get worse.

    I won't know though, cancelled my account this evening.
