Citing what I saw on Philip DeFranco earlier, apparently in a shutdown the executive branch has a lot of power in terms of what specifics get shutdown and how.

Was news to me considering the shitshow that happens every time the budget needs to be voted on but with all the DOGEness going on makes sense that there's extra caution around this. Still sucks that Dems rolled over so easily.

But that's not a pipe

That is odd... I browse "All" by "Hot" maybe two or three times a day and see new things frequently. Maybe it's an instance issue? I'm not familiar with lemm.ee and if they've done a lot of defederating

And it was Zelensky who was apparently "Gambling with World War III"... Tough times ahead methinks.

Fuckin Cheeto

Deep? Can Musk and DOGE count as deep state with how new they are to government (if you can call DOGE that)? He's not even from the US, he's so far out he's circled back around to deep state.

Then again, foreign actors blatantly controlling the white house seems to be the trend right now

I have immediate family in the US and one of the main reasons I don't visit is because I am legit afraid shit like this or worse will happen.

I believe it, but I honestly don't think it would make any difference in the world at this point if proven anyway

Makes me think of my younger days hanging out on 4chan, thinking I was having ironic, satirical laughs with my fellow anons until eventually realizing most of them actually believed what they were saying

Orange skin with paleness around the eyes is the new giveaway

Feel like the wording of this headline implies that all Gen Z is LGBTQ+

Not saying that would be a bad thing to be clear

For mods? Personally I just browser Nexus mods for what looks fun or interesting. Just getting command lines going is fun enough for a start. I always at least start a run giving myself a bunch of cash. But honestly, the vanilla game is plenty fun now and pretty well balanced compared to when it started. Still finding side content and weird stuff

For general modding I started with the Redmodding Wiki and then I got over complicated trying to use a mod manager, messing with Steam Tinker Launcher and Mod Organizer 2. In the end just did things manually following the redmodding wiki.

As a relatively recent Windows refugee, I want to share a recent success that has made me feel fully confident in never needing Windows again and fully feeling the Linux superiority.

I got Cyberpunk with all my previous mods running.

Maybe not a big deal for most people, but this was one thing that had kept me holding onto dual boot on my main device. Conversations online also kept making modding on Linux seem so impenetrable.

Then I decided to spend an afternoon figuring out modding games in general on Linux, and yeah parts of it was tough for me to figure out, but now I'm confident that anything I used to do on PC, I can probably do better on Linux.

I am ready to take up arms alongside the Weaponized Assault Penguin squad.

I feel like this professor pissed off a lot of students who joined his class expecting sermons or something. Did more to reinforce my atheism than anything else. He was a good dude

Knew a theology professor (ended up in his class for credits somehow) who went with the "multiple Jesus's" theory. Apparently it's quite possible that stories of a variety of healers/figures got combined into the Jesus mythos. Explains a lot of the time and geographical inconsistencies with the historical record iirc

Not me, I'm on a whole other continent, watching the blaze, hoping it doesn't spread too far.

I'd like to say I did that on purpose to show how dumb they'd be renaming it, but it is I who can't remember my East and West

True. Guess it's more like them getting Google to change Greenland into West Alaska

Imagine being a tourist in the US, looking for an address you believe to be say, Martin Luther King Street. Can't find it anywhere, even on Google maps, then eventually you talk to someone and find out it's now called Elon Musk Avenue.

Not saying this is exactly the same, but if we're letting people change the names of places on commonly used global map software willy nilly, even if it's just region to region, we're gonna end up with problems. It's not like "freedom fries" back in the day that legitimately affected no one.

And I am suddenly seeing a parenthetical on the Gulf here outside the US, so there technically was a sudden change

I think at this point it's more about what the case represents. I don't know how exactly I want this to happen, but I do hope the results of his trial somehow creates positive changes in how insurance companies work.

Wishful thinking, but I think that's the kind of feeling people have around this.

My first time hearing the word "biodegradable" as a kid was after asking my dad why he threw his cigarette butts into the water when we were fishing.
