  • It's something the US has basically enforced, it's their excuse to things like military bases in Okinawa, which goes against Japan's ideas of not having an army (even though the JSDF has broken this promise of sorts). More military spending it's not going to bring any good to anyone, specially coming from Europe and its record, specially the Brits.

  • IMO if you're starting with your project is understandable, they seem to have a shit ton of money put on it, thought, so that may make it a bit unforgivable, but things can change.

  • I think he could be at a gymnasium so he could be winning and losing against himself in order to level up a lot of accounts, or maybe there was an event for a rare pokémon and he could have it on different accounts and sell the account or pokémon or something.

  • The only places I can think of are torrenting sites, otherwise you have to get lucky a find a web site that streams it, but not the best option in terms of quality and security and such.

    nyaa.si is a good one

  • Yeah, I know, I know, also people who are not tech savvy, you change the smallest thing to their GUI and they get lost, you need to do some training stuff.

  • I agree there are cases where you need specific software and in that cases it might be hard, but also there are a shit ton of other cases where everything you need is simply a word processor and spreadsheet.

  • I know you can pirate it, I doubt a government will decide to launch a national scale campaign to pirate every machine with Windows, it would probably be easier to install Linux any way since you have a lot of older machines.

  • How is the government going to handle the use of public computers if Microsoft is getting out of Russia? I mean, I'm sure they already have a lot of pirated copies and old versions of Windows, as any (at least third world) country does, but at some point I don't see any option to either pirate every copy of Windows or start using Linux.

  • Nice and mature response, a lot better than shitty Linus's video.

  • Alacrity doesn't follow my OS colour theme which is pretty shitty tbh, but it's a really good project. uwu

  • Yes, I tend to read the most boring kind of books I can find, they're fun.

  • Adding upper case letters to addresses would indeed increase what the "_" does, I don't think we should add them. Your method also requires manual intervention which is just not a good idea.

  • The US Authoritarian Regime Bans 'Fight Club' Book in Various States

    The author also said that he saw the irony in many Americans’ angry response to China’s actions, given that his books are banned in many locations across the U.S.

    “What I find really interesting is that my books are heavily banned throughout the U.S.,” he said. “The Texas prison system refuses to carry my books in their libraries. A lot of public schools and most private schools refuse to carry my books. But it’s only an issue once China changes the end of a movie? I’ve been putting up with book banning for a long time.”

    He also said that having his work revised in ways he can’t control is nothing new to him.

    “A lot of my overseas publishers have edited the novel so the novel ends the way the movie ends,” he said. “So I’ve been dealing with this kind of revision for like 25 years.”

  • Sure, I'd do the same, I was just pointing out the level of privilege these people hold.

  • It seems like it'd require such a level of research that is almost impossible to do it.

  • Aether works like that in theory, but I think that the feature was never created.

  • I was a moderator of an image board once and basically they tell you that you should be lurking and if you see anything that breaks the ToC you should delete it and ban that IP if it's too horrible. Mind you this image board wasn't so big (it's not super small, though) so maybe moderation in some bigger one is a bit more serious.

    Not the brightest moment in my life, hehe. sighs in depression

  • From my experience even the bottom of the social strata in the US is far better off than some middle-low class in a third world country. I've seen people in /r/homeless who own cars, laptops, phones, tents, shit that would sound fucking impossible where I live for a homeless to be honest, so I'm guessing they have some sort of financial support, but I'm just guessing.

  • that's the kind of shit they do if you get on tv, you need to be super violent and aggressive if you want them to take you just a bit serious

  • Someone please shoot that Fox news bastard in the knees and balls
