Chicken sashimi is a thing in Japan. It's slightly cooked on the outside.

What did this routine look like?

Kill the nickel and dime while we're at it.

That's a mention, not a tag. A tag is a private description you save about a user. Only apps have this feature.

I just tagged you. Thunder calls this a "user label".

Yet I played it so much I can hear it in my head right now.

In today's dollars, my local video game store in 1991 was selling Wizardry for the NES for $141.

Fuck, the average AAA Atari 2600 game was $99 in today's dollars. Games like Pitfall and Pac-Man.

Just some perspective. I'm going to go yell at a cloud or something, now.

Nah

There's literally no difference. Each Discord server is like a tiny chunk of Reddit. If anyone expected any privacy on these servers, they're nuts.

I definitely did! I guess maybe you can see why I was so exasperated. 😳

That's why I only post questions for bleeding-edge languages and code libraries. I have to answer them myself.

lemmy is just gobbling it up every day. It's so tiring.

Are you fucking serious? All I ever see on Lemmy is prople saying "AI slop" over and over and over and over again... in like every comment section of every post. It could be a picture that was actually hand-drawn, or a photograph that was definitely not AI, or articles written by someone "sounding like AI". The AI hate on Lemmy is WAY overpowering any support.

inappropriate sexual absences

I had to look this up.

Inappropriate Sexual Absences: A term referring to the failure of an individual to be present in a context where their participation in romantic or intimate interactions is reasonably expected, resulting in potential emotional distress or misunderstanding among involved parties. Such absences may arise from a variety of circumstances, including but not limited to, willful neglect, avoidance of relational obligations, or the pursuit of extraneous activities that detract from the fulfillment of intimate commitments. This term may encompass both the intentional and unintentional nature of the absence, and its implications may vary based on the established expectations of the relationship in question.

Why did you add like a hundred spaces in front of the list of states? That makes it a code block that requires tons of horizontal scrolling to read. I didn't even recognize it as such at first.

You know Lemmy has spoiler syntax, right? If that's what you were going for?

1/3 equals 1/4 because in both cases you have 1.

If Lemmy loves anything, it's A.I. (/s) so here you go:

Summary

The article discusses the challenges faced by UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, particularly following the resignation of Health Secretary Matt Hancock due to a scandal. Amidst political turmoil, Johnson attended a gathering with wealthy Conservative party donors, where they expressed dissatisfaction with his cabinet and economic policies. The event was organized by Ben Elliot, the Conservative party's co-chair, who has been instrumental in fundraising for the party. Elliot, known for his connections with the wealthy elite, has transformed the party's fundraising culture, emphasizing access to government in exchange for donations. Johnson, who struggles with personal finances, relies on Elliot to maintain the party's financial health as they prepare for the next election.

Johnson's financial struggles are compounded by his recent divorce and the costs associated with his lifestyle, including a controversial renovation of the Downing Street flat. He initially sought to set up a charitable trust to cover the renovation costs but ultimately paid out of pocket. The article highlights Elliot's role in securing significant donations for the Conservative party, particularly from property developers, and his influence over party finances. Despite recent controversies, Elliot's fundraising strategies have been effective, and Johnson is expected to benefit financially after leaving office through lucrative speaking engagements. The article concludes by noting that while Johnson's personal finances are precarious, he has a capable ally in Elliot to manage the party's financial needs.

Some figures:

£17.9m Amount that donors with property interests and links to development have given the Conservative party since Johnson became prime minister

£275,000 Annual earnings as a columnist at The Daily Telegraph, penning articles on a weekly basis

£4,250 Monthly rental income from Grade II-listed cottage in Thame, Oxfordshire

At least £88,000 Amount Johnson received as an advance for his book ‘Shakespeare: The Riddle of Genius’

£250,000 Exact amount eight Tory donors gave in 2020

£37.4m Amount the Tory party raised in ‘large’ donations in the year running up to Johnson’s 2019 victory

£2.7m Johnson’s outside earnings over his eight years at City Hall

£1.2m Purchase price of Johnson and Symonds’ house in Camberwell, south London

£157,372 Prime minister’s annual salary

£830,000 Amount Johnson earned in his last year as a backbench MP before becoming prime minister

£450,000 Earnings for 21 hours of public speaking in just over seven months in 2018-19

£58,000 Donation from Tory patron Lord Brownlow, allegedly to pay for Downing Street refurbishments

Notable quotes

• “They’re fed up with all this state intervention,” reflecting the donors' frustrations with Johnson's economic direction.
• “Ben squeezes the pips from the donors,” describing Elliot's aggressive approach to fundraising.
• “Boris would come down and complain about how much it was all going to cost,” highlighting Johnson's concerns about the renovation expenses.
• “I suspect he wishes sometimes he hadn’t got involved at all. Boris is quite demanding,” indicating the challenges Elliot faces in managing Johnson's financial issues.
• “His financial problems will be sorted out in a week after he leaves office,” suggesting confidence in Johnson's future financial success post-premiership.

"Thought-terminating clichés"

Also... I don't think it has a name, but dubiously claiming any of these examples in an argument. Maybe it'd just be called "deflection".

I've seen so many valid arguments shutdown as whataboutism, sealioning, concern trolling when they were valid arguments. It's just as much bullshit as actually doing any of those things.

I highly doubt it was the code. They probably reduced texture and background fidelity and compressed the cutscenes heavily. It's simply impossible to reduce a codebase by 91% and have it still be recognizable. However, the N64 had better hardware and it's possible that some code could be eliminated because the chips had features that made them code not needed. But not nearly 686 MB worth.
