He made a joke photo where it looked like he was grabbing a sleeping friend co-worker by the breasts. That's it. It was clearly a joke. He was immediately purged because the Democrats were happy to get rid of a progressive.
Did you just watch it or did you engage your brain? At surface level it's not even that bad, but as a movie about trying to deal with mental illness it excels.
A lot of the "why did they do that" is explained by not having access to the Silmarillion. They only have the appendices from LOTR. For such crippling limitation I think they're doing a great job. I'm a lifelong LOTR-Silmarillion superfan, I say fuck the Tolkien estate.
They couldn't get the rights to the Silmarillion sadly. The only canon resources they're allowed to use are the appendices at the end of LOTR. I think they're doing a fantastic job with such limited material. The last two episodes are awesome.
My challenger's whole plastic front end is connected with zip ties at this point. Those pathetic plastic clips they use just break apart if you try to work on them. I realize my solution to preventing plastic dragging on the road is less important than preventing metal on metal contact though.
I once answered a phone call inside a com closet on base. Military IT was already escorting me. Security came because the cameras in the closet detected the camera on my phone. It's definitely physically tight security.
I hear you for sure. I very much prefer local software and saved files local as well. The problem is there's more money to be made doing it the other way. Unless it's FOSS you can pretty much count on the company to follow the money.
I wouldn't expect most users to understand how to use it, but has there not been a tiktok downloader made yet? If not that's a good opportunity for someone looking for a project.
How do you pronounce the word oil? Where I live it is commonly oool. An oil well is an oool wale. This is more of a boomer and up thing.
My grandpa, instead of saying 'Do you want to fish by that bush?' he would say 'Yaunna feesh by that boosh?'
Sorry I just love accents, language drift, linguistics in general. And I still haven't learned diacritics
Some people postulate that the pre boomer people of Appalachia, and specifically West Virginia, were pronouncing words closer to the "proper" British English of the 1600s and 1700s. They moved into the mountains and became isolated with low population and few outsiders. This insular culture preserved the language. Whereas British people who stayed in Britain were exposed to different languages and pronunciations which caused language drift.
I haven't watched the video yet but I didn't want to forget. Someone on Lemmy linked this article in a reply to me and I hope it's what you're looking for. It spells everything out and even has a little bit of hope in it. It's quite well written to boot.
It does include the first two expansions that will come out and leader packs and shit. I have sunk far more hours into civ than any other game. I very rarely buy a game, maybe twice a year. So it was worth it to me. I'll play it for 500+ hours and at that point it's 30 cents an hour of entertainment.
So for every dollar of funding the IRS gets, the nation gets five dollars back. If the department of government efficiency wasn't a sick joke, they'd love the IRS. Imagine if you had such an easy investment. Quintuple your money in a year.
I agree with you that an unused or third party vote is effectively a vote for Trump. I wouldn't say those people are the same, even though the outcome is. People who voted in 2020 and didn't this time around are probably feeling how badly they fucked up. And I hope they feel like shit.
Meanwhile MAGA is crowing from the rooftops about the dismantling of democracy. If you're not wealthy and you voted for Trump, you fucked up badly. Most will realize it at some point, but it's already too late. Even the midterms are two years away, and look what's been done in two weeks. That Constitution they claim to love more than life itself has been ripped up and thrown to the ground under fascist boots.
The ridiculous purity genocide Joe shit hit way harder than I thought it would. Yeah I wish he hadn't gone full bore on support for Palestinian genocide. Anyone with a conscience knows it was evil. But if you're a leftist or progressive of any stripe, you've been voting for the lesser of two evils your entire adult life. What made this one different really? Every US President causes innocent people to be killed.
