We can’t have lasgun/shield interactions causing atomic explosions whenever a player decides to attack a shielded base

Cowardice!

(This was a silly idea in the books too, IMO. No one would shield their base with a technology that lets any suicidal fanatic with a lasgun destroy the whole area single-handedly.)

Koala: I will adapt to a niche with no competition to secure a permanent* food source for my lineage!

*Permanence not guaranteed.

Reddit still full of crybabies, news at 11.

I have seen the music video ad for this product and now I'm inflicting it on the rest of you.

Edit: Ah someone else already got it, I didn't see their comment at first.

I didn't pick the criteria they got cited for, lol. I didn't say they were good criteria, I said I think they technically meet them.

I'm on board with this, but I may be biased because I also don't like using Discord for anything else. Every time someone sends me a Discord invite I feel a little defeated, because it is usually after I have agreed to participate in something.

I know there are no gambling mechanics in the game, but it is certainly poker themed so I feel like I'd be hard pressed to argue that it doesn't contain gambling imagery, and it certainly instructs about how poker hands are constructed (in the sense that if you didn't know what a flush was, you will after playing Balatro). I feel like they may have run afoul of a technicality.

But they haven't found the facial database and Invenda claims they don't have one, right? Their story is that the machine takes an image, runs some local processing to determine demographic info about the user/customer/target/victim, and then stores that instead of storing the image or biometrics.

There's a good chance they're lying but claiming the database has been "revealed" when no one has found it yet seems like sensationalism.

Edit: "Secret demographic database derived from facial recognition" would be true but sounds less snappy, I guess?

Thank you! And no, genetic heterochromia in dogs is harmless. :)

I did as a kid, but my tinnitus covers it up now.

1/1,000,000,000 is probably safer than driving to the store, and I do that every few days.

I think it's way more likely that he gets sentenced to house arrest, which he could serve at Mar a Lago. The other option is to have Secret Service agents following him around inside a prison trying to protect him from the other inmates (and possibly the guards), and I don't think either the prisons or the Secret Service want to deal with that.

I'm so sorry to hear that. I remember thinking that your education system sounded top notch, uh, quite a few years ago, when a German gentleman on a forum I was on was explaining why students were protesting against the introduction of a nominal fee for university studies, which had previously been free, right?

Hey, I dislike her as much as the next person, but can we please avoid attacking her appearance, using gendered insults, and calling for violence? That's, like, not good for any of us. We can attack her policies and stances instead, the things that matter.

She's SO floofy, I love her ^^

Thanks for all your hard work!

And it looks like the result of a transporter malfunction involving Baron Rivendare's Deathcharger and Butt Stallion.

It's paraphrasing the intro voiceover from Darkest Dungeon, which the post title reminded me of. (It starts "You remember our venerable house, opulent and imperial...")

...Opulent and imperial. Gazing proudly from its stoic perch before the desk. I lived all my years in that ancient, rumor-shadowed seat. Fattened by decadence and luxury...

Like Descartes?
