I've written semi-personal tools that other team members sometimes use that will break in 2100. The comments note this and really hope they aren't still using these by then

Is the "Mission Accomplished" banner from Bush's tenure still available?

It's amazing how long I can stay pissed about how WebOS was squandered. My Pre had personality; it's the only mobile I actually miss (aside from nostalgia).

Too many games decide to be either horny or good; I applaud the studies that try to do both.

That's Stellar Blade. It came out as a PS5 exclusive a year or so ago but has just landed on PC like yesterday I think. It's a souls-like from a new (to non-mobile games) Korean studio. Evidently the game is very good both as a game and at making people super horny.

I haven't played it, but I've been amused by some of the reviews.

I got a couple of carbon steel pans. The upkeep is similar to cast iron but much lighter / easier to handle. I reach for it 90% of the time.

Yeah. First I ball it up and scrub the perimeter before unfurling it and scrubbing back and forth at different angles.

It's not like he's going to begin acting like an irrational idiot soon. Why would this change anything?

I don't actively hate descriptions, but I used to just skim them. Now I sometimes slow down for descriptions if I think they might bring additional meaning or context. But then sometimes when it gets to be too much work, I'll go back to just skipping over them again lol

Elon Musk recently declared he will be spending “a lot less” money on politics going forward. He told Bloomberg, “I think I’ve done enough” and that he does not “currently see a reason” to continue spending money in the political arena.

I have little hope that the damage down by this man will be rectified any time soon.

You done fucked up. There is no wrath like a millennial accused of being young.

The first game was charming as hell, but a little weak on the actual puzzles. Good enough that I'd give the sequel a shot.

I think posting it on Peertube would maybe be preaching to the choir.

To add to this, you can do this to yourself as well. Reward yourself for the right behavior, tell yourself your did a good job, etc. It's (I'm guessing) harder than extrinsic motivation, but it still works. Take advantage of having a stupid lizard brain under all the stuff that makes us human.

Haha smartass

Theory - Husband thinks about wife. Wife thinks about boyfriend. Boyfriend thinks about blue plastic water drums. Such is life.

I don't use Linux. I'm here from /all. I last attempted Linux probably around 2006 or so. The biggest thing I remember was driver support being awful. I guess it's a lot better now?

My biggest hurdle to making the switch is that it takes effort. It's not because I'm lazy; it's because I don't see any need to put in effort. Because I already have an OS, and it works fine. I know that to some, particularly in this community, there are a lot of things about Windows to complain about, but the vast majority of users can't come up with a list of things that bothers them about their daily OS. If my computer already had Linux on it, I'd probably feel exactly the same way.

I can't really tell what's real anymore

He won't be right about tariffs because he (and you, I suppose) has a gross misunderstanding about how tariffs should be implemented. Tariffs are typically used to strengthen a local product. Say that we wanted to support Napa wine. We might introduce a tarrif on importing wines from our largest competitors. This would increase the cost of the foreign product in relation to the domestic product and encourage consumers to buy locally. So, why won't this work if we just tarrif everyone for everything? Well, we don't make everything so they're isn't a local option to buy instead. Not just for you, but for the companies that make the things you consume. Oh, then let's just build up the industries to make everything. Even disregarding that we don't have the ability to produce everything due to, well, climate and resources, that would cost many millions of dollars and years of investment before seeing a profit. Which is a nice idea if businesses had any faith that the tariffs are permanent, which they don't not only because the current administration (likely lol) won't be in power forever, but also because the current administration has said that they are willing to negotiate. So why bother making the investment when you can import again soon? And lastly, if we try to strong-arm everyone at the same time, they'll just band together without us. They don't need to trade with us if they have an alternative in a more profitable trade partner, and we've just incentivized the entire world to look for a better option than us. We did that. All at once. The idiocy is frankly astounding.
