do it

I actually had a picture with Tony Hawk from when I was ~11. I ran across him at the airport and I made my mom take.our picture.

As a 52 year old that has been skateboarding since the 1970's I take great offense with anyone that tries to gatekeep skateboarding. Skateboards are always cool.

You could sideload the unrestricted client or install it via FDroid. The problem is that most Android users will install from the Play Store or not at all.

Banning nuclear reactors was one of the worst environmental decisions humans have ever made.

They didn't replace Fry. When the Audiobooks were released in the US, they were read by Jim Dale. Fry was for the rest of the English language releases. During the run, Jim Dale broke the world record for the most character voices performed by a single actor in an audiobook (146).

All I can think of is Jim Dale's reading of the Harry Potter books. Fucking epic.

I have been saying this for a while. It seems like a really bad idea to push the most armed populous on the planet to the breaking point. One day the shooting is going start and it isn't going to stop.

All piracy, hacking and cracking communities should be on Lemmy. All NSFW communities should move to LemmyNSFW. Investors won't be happy until that site is scrubbed clean.

I have been in tech for almost thirty years and this August will mark the 20th anniversary of the company I started.

In my experience, there are two predominant types of tech exec. On the one hand you have the folk who invest in "human capital", which makes it sound awful but it is meant as a way to acknowledge that your workforce is your main asset, not a liability to be trimmed for cost savings. The other are douchebags like this guy who start and run companies putting out sub par garbage on the cheap. Some of these companies do business at a loss, just so they can show an active book of business so they cam borrow even more money. They are rarely profitable and produce nothing of value...but they do love to circle jerk each other to no end.

They need to answer the most basic question. Why should someone choose to buy a Nissan over its competitors?

My first Nintendo console was an NES that I got for Christmas the year it was released in the US. You can say thay I have been a Nintendo fan for a bit. Nowadays I repeat the same thing over and over again.

Nintendo? Not even pirated. I avoid it all.

The Refugee's power as offered to Sally Faye Vierra at the end of Warbound (Grimnoir Chronicles, Book 3, by Larry Correia).

EDIT: If that's too OP, then Sally Faye Vierra's own true power is pretty solid.

I am hard pressed to think of any Americans older than twenty five that I have ever met IRL that was truly opposed to colonialism. High-schoolers and college students; sure. That's about it though.

EDIT: To be clear, I am not defending colonialism. I just don't think most Americans understand or think about its impact. Out of sight. Out of mind.

Meanwhile, Putin...

That asshole doesn't respond to empty threats, only action.

Lately it seems like I'm living 4's life.
