Trying to send a message with your vote is not worth it

That's like the entire point of voting though.

If you're in the US (as Obinice pointed out), type your zipcode in the box in the top left and you've got your hyper local forecast and any relevant warnings and watches. I don't care for or want extra notifications, so that's a bit of a blindspot for me.

Also, if you're using firefox on android you can hit the 3 dots and "install" the zipcode specific forecast, which just gives you a shortcut to that page on your homescreen.

weather.gov works fine, thanks

Amazon does still sell digital music files, you just need to find the "digital music" section in Movies, Music and Games if that link doesn't work for you.

But you're right about google music, it got turned into youtube music and I'm pretty sure it doesn't allow purchasing and downloads. I'd imagine apple also still lets you buy music, but I've never actually used them before and don't plan to start now.

Looking at the Food & Drink section, it doesn't look like you can get much more than coffee and meat with monero, so I'm really not sure how you're supposed to "be your own bank" by using it and still have access to food.

Alright, so monero is good for coffee, maple syrup, and meat bars (?!). I don't currently eat a lot of any of those things, so I'm not sure how this will help me with my groceries.

Have you heard of D&D Beyond? It's already a subscription service, I'm not sure D&D is in the best hands as it is.

Another big example is any web-browser that isn't safari. That should be changing soon/recently (see here https://www.theverge.com/2024/1/25/24050478/apple-ios-17-4-browser-engines-eu) but that's only because Apple was forced to.

And yet we trust almost all of them to operate a 2-ton machine on a daily basis here in the US.

googles the name*

Raymond Earl Hill was an American tenor saxophonist and singer, best known as a member of Ike Turner's Kings of Rhythm in the 1950s.

Well, I mean we all have our own ideas about the world.

I only used it to replay Kingdom Hearts a few years ago, but I never had any issues with it. And based on this video RPCS3 released yesterday, it looks like there are plenty of games that are very playable, by any definition.

However, PS3 architecture was so elaborate and unique that it remains next to impossible to emulate to this day

I'm no expert on the subject, but I happen to know that RPCS3 exists, and they claim ~70% of titles are playable today.

Seriously now, why don't you provide some clearer evidence showing what SBI is doing and why it's so bad? And why respond to my short summary of the video when @CileTheSane did a much more thorough breakdown?

We all know it's because you don't actually have any proof or solid reasoning for thinking these things, and you probably responded to me and not them because you're too lazy to read their longer post and think up a lie. But Cile watched a half hour video because of you and put some thought and effort into applying it to your fake arguments, you could at least try to defend your bigoted views.

The first half of the video is about context-less tweets that a consultant for the company made a decade ago, and the second half is about how they don't like how some things were phrased at a GDC talk. The guy in the video also talks a lot about Sweet Baby Inc supposedly wanting to exclude straight, white, male characters, but one of the anecdotes they play from the GDC conference was about how some game studio had made a cast of all straight, white men and were thinking of diversifying by making one of those characters very stereotypically french, and so SBI consultant tried to get a little more diversity out of them by also making that character black.

I'm not seeing a lot of hatred or discrimination against white people, or men, or heterosexuals in this video you linked.

But there is the end segment, in the last 3 minutes or so, where he doesn't understand that there's a difference between being a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion consulting firm, and a narrative/writing consulting firm that helps promote diversity and inclusion, so that's fun. He also ends the video by saying that the consultant with the bad tweets from a decade ago is one of the company's leaders.

All in all, not a lot of evidence that Sweet Baby Inc is doing anything wrong, really.

Unless I'm mistaken, they're talking about Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (1984)

Even the first season had Amon, the guy that wanted equality between benders and non-benders. At one point we're even shown that power was cut to a predominantly non-bender neighborhood, and when people went outside to protest to get their power turned back on, they were all rounded up and arrested. Afterwards, when Korra goes and tries to get the people that were arrested set free, she's told

All equalist suspects are being detained indefinitely. They'll be freed if and when the task force deems them no longer a threat.

Just in case it wasn't clear enough by that point that non-benders were treated as second class citizens.

You should probably be looking at trends over a longer period of time, rather than just a single month.

From here. There was a dip below the 2016-2019 average in January through March of 2023, but time marches on.

The numbers for 2023 are no higher than normal either

The numbers for 2023 in the 2-3 months you have data for. Look at the rest of the graph, how it starts off lower in January and is higher for the rest of the year. Go back up and look at this graph

and see how covid comes in waves each year, not evenly distributed throughout. Then go back and look at this graph

and see that based on the data we have in the US, deaths per year has stayed above the previous yearly patterns. We don't have all the data over a long period of time because covid hasn't been around for all that long. But from what we can see so far, it kills people. The exact number per year remains to be seen, but from the data we have it's been in the thousands, just in Norway.

Edit: I guess next time I see a fucking “mOVInG tHe GOOalPoSt!!!” I will take the clue and not fucking bother.

Half of the sources you posted actively worked against your own arguments. Maybe you shouldn't bother.

EDIT of my own: After looking at one of your sources (Eurostat)

you can see that January-March was lower than 2016-2019, but it's been on the rise again across the EU, and especially in Norway. Again, you can't just look at one single month and decide that it's representative of everything, everywhere, across all time going forward.
