Probably not a great option considering how Nightreign is built around online multiplayer more than any other Fromsoft game. I guess there's maybe a chance for a selfhosted multiplayer server, but otherwise the likelihood of a pirated version actually working seems slim.

Glad they clarified. To me the "selling data being defined broadly" argument made sense in the context of Google paying them to be included as a search provider. Because there is an argument that Google paying Firefox, and then the user entering a search and that being sent to Google's servers could be legally seen as Mozilla selling data to Google.

Be kinda fun to hire a chopper service to bring a bunch of boats in. No trespassing involved getting in, but to leave would require trespassing. Play it like you're being detained/forced to trespass to leave.

When I first got a Bluesky account, back when it was invite-only a whole bunch of the Physicists and Astronomers I used to follow on Twitter were already there. If anything it seemed like scientists were early adopters.

Even as a straight, young boy I was disappointed for her. I vividly remember announcing "but he's MORE ugly now!" Somehow, none of the conservative, Christian adults in the room liked me saying that.

Boost. It was my preferred Reddit client back before spez Elon-ed Reddit, so when the Lemmy version released, I purchased it to thank the dev for putting in the work to support Lemmy. It made my move to Lemmy super smooth.

I also use Voyager on occasion.

Not saying Ford wasn't an exploitative nazi sympathizer, he was. But can't leave the Dodge brothers out of some of the blame while you're handing it out. They're the whole reason companies have to put shareholders first, after they sued Ford for trying to invest dividends back into the company and employee wages.

Around the world, countries voted for change last year, not just America. Not necessarily good change, but people were unhappy and didn't like the way things were. When Biden dropped out, there was massive excitement that maybe Kamala would offer good change, but eventually she promised more of the same.

I'm not saying sexism wasn't a factor, it was. But it wasn't the only factor. And Trump's margin of victory wasn't so large that we should just write off all women because Trump won against two women who allowed him to be the "change" candidate.

Same, but I've also seen a bunch of people both on Reddit and Bluesky say they don't like Lemmy because the interface feels dated, "like Reddit 10 years ago."

To each their own I guess. But maybe there should be an instance that sets their default theme to something that feels more modern so those who want a simpler, less usable, experience can easily have that too.

And yeah, they'd probably become the new instance everyone complains about for being too "normie" but if we actually want the fediverse to catch on and take down corporate-owned social media, we are eventually gonna have to appeal to every part of those sites' user bases.

It's been that way for a while, Gen Z boys aren't the first to fall for it. 10 years ago it was gamergate, and before that there was talk radio like Rush Limbaugh rambling on about "feminazis."

That's been "conservatives" best recruitment tool for years. And it generally works up until the boys realize they're serious about the "no masturbation" rule. Although by that point they've generally already got them hooked on other propaganda.

Another common thing I've seen is people paying cash for the nice thing they can't really afford and then realizing they can't afford necessities like groceries and then those end up going on the credit card.

Most of my original point was that there should be weight classes. I'm well aware there aren't currently. Perhaps I didn't make that point clearly enough.

Thank you for doing your part to try to make them feel welcome and trying to help them succeed.

But put her against one of the big boys and there was absolutely no match

So not going by weight at all then.

Look, I get that there are limits on how many teams you can feasibly have, but there are also plenty of smaller dudes who never play sports because they'd also get mauled. It's also not a huge mental leap to think that maybe some coaches/administrators might deliberately try to get the girls to give up and be "out of their hair." Not saying that happened in your anecdote, it may have genuinely been a well-meaning attempt at inclusivity by everyone involved. But it's also not super relevant if there wasn't also an attempt to balance it by weight - something that has already been shown to lower injury rates and severity for existing players if we would do it.

Comparatively underdeveloped brains? Testicles precariously placed for maximum injury? I'll give you that members of the female gender commonly have looser/stretchier skin and potentially lower muscle density.

But also the girls I grew up with, grew faster and were taller than the boys at the same age. Eventually we caught up, but there was a period in there where playing sports against the girls my age gave them an advantage. Maybe 200,000+ years of human evolution already mostly solved this problem, and it's not actually about protecting children, but being an asshole to trans kids.

I'm thinking of investing in "JD Vance killed Donald Trump" merch, not because he did, but considering Donald's age and arteries, if Trump dies of natural causes in office, I'll be able to ride that conspiracy into my own retirement.

Kamala Harris's 60 minutes interview had 5.7 million live viewers, and as of today, 3.8 million views on YouTube. Making approximately 9.5 million views total.

Spotify doesn't release their numbers, but just on YouTube, Donald Trump's appearance on Joe Rogan's 3-hour podcast got over 26 million views in the first 24 hours (and today is sitting at 55 million views).

Even if CBS was somehow unfair, it doesn't matter. Trump got a massive viewership advantage going on Rogan, but because he's a fossil, doesn't see it that way, because he still thinks broadcast TV is mainstream media. It's not. Joe Rogan is mainstream media at this point.

While I personally believe trans athletes should be allowed to compete in any league of their choice or at least the league most closely matching the gender they present as, there is a part of me that would also like open-gendered sports in general. I have a theory that the "women are weaker, and would get crushed in leagues with men" is misogyny seeing only disadvantages and none of the advantages women athletes have (more complete brain development during their prime athletic years, etc.) If you are actually concerned about injury, then go by weight class, which could help save smaller men from severe injury as well.

I do also wonder just how much keeping sports gendered is just done to protect male egos from being styled on by women.

As someone who has watched 6 of those videos in the screenshot from across 3 different channels, I apologize for my part in training the algorithm into thinking others who watch a single Balatro video might be interested in watching all the variety streamers play Balatro.

Not even just regular recipes that get the time wrong, my microwaveable ramen bowls say "ready in 3 minutes" But microwaving for 3 minutes is the third step in the instructions, which then go on to tell you to let it stand for 1 minute before adding the last spice packet. It can't be ready in 3 minutes unless I somehow break the laws of time or physics. I know it's the most trivial peeve, but would it hurt them to say ready in 5 minutes?

Fire your CEO.

Out of a canon, through some flaming rings, and into an empty bucket of water. If I have to watch a clown-show, at least make it entertaining.
