Can still get foiled by a curb.

Think of that human torso being a very complicated neck rather than a half of a human grown onto a horse.

Now I can't stop thinking of centaurs as giraffes with arms stuck to their neck.

... again.

I found the netrunner jobs more entertaining and rewarding. Gangs are tough initially, once you get better weapons you go through them like a hot knife through butter.

SNES version is very linear by comparison. Do a task, find the key, get to the next area, rinse repeat.

Will it have a courtroom episode?

You can, but you'll need to increase the microwave's power accordingly.

Reddit has been astroturfed so much the recommendations there have to be taken with a lot of salt.

There are plenty of real life scenarios that both equate and predate your example, and which don't rely on anonymity. Lynch mobs in the US, rape gangs in southeast Asian countries, Hitler rallies, heck even bully groups among children. The size of the group does not have to be big to allow toxic behavior, as long as you have a catalyst (such as someone getting away with something) that engenders a feeling of safety from consequences and in- and outgroups. The Internet is just another medium for this behavior, anonymous or not. What is different is that the internet is the first medium that actively records it.

Lemmy and Mastodon are social media as well, and they are not profit driven. Non-social media like newspapers and cable TV also spread toxic content.

In the end, you got the causality reversed. Media (both social and non-social) gravitates towards what drives the most engagement. Negative/toxic content drives the most engagement because that content elicits a strong emotional response in the consumer.

Media amplifies the problem, but ultimately the problem is people. Toxic content is going to stick around until people stop giving it attention, and unfortunately in all of the history of humanity we have yet to figure out how.

AKA you'll be removed from the voter pool of you wear it.

You can carbonate and then add Kool aid liquid drink mix. That will keep the carbonating nozzle clean while still giving you your choice of flavor.

They mistook them for crayons.

Good fucking riddance to that massive waste of oxygen.

Beat me to it by that much 🤏

If it's not in OEIS it's not famous.

As in you are seeing multiple boot entries? It's likely one entry per kernel version that you have installed. It doesn't happen often these days any more, but in some situations it's handy to be able to revert to a previous kernel if for example third party modules break.

Yep, if you request the desktop version you don't get that redirect.
