exactly my point!

i'm fairly sure Lally is sharing and didn't create the original meme. if it was that critical to the joke, the OP should have added in the caption from that frame of the show. If they did, I'm sure Lally would have included it in the alt text. As it is, a lot of people who see the meme without the aid of alt text might not get that part of the joke, so the alt text is doing a fine job of describing the image as it is.

I try to make my alt text include the source media if i can, but i don't think it necessarily ruins the joke of the post just bc the alt text doesn't say, "This is the character Eleanor Shellstrop from the show The Good Place"

"What stands out most clearly is that the Supreme Court, despite its effort to protect the former president and to erect a hurdle that was almost sky-high, made clear that it is possible to overcome that hurdle by specific proof that the former president, in his capacity as office-seeker, private capacity … sought to overturn an election that he knew he had lost,” said Tribe.

Idk, at this point I feel like this Supreme Court can and will erect any hurdle they like to advance their conservative agenda and protect their corrupted power.

i have never pretended to be posting OC. Just posting content that is new to beehaw. Also, likely the first time this comic has had human-generated alt text! I try to be "additive" in that way, at least.

USAID had sent Blinken a detailed 17-page memo on Israel’s conduct. The memo described instances of Israeli interference with aid efforts, including killing aid workers, razing agricultural structures, bombing ambulances and hospitals, sitting on supply depots and routinely turning away trucks full of food and medicine.

The U.N. has declared a famine in parts of Gaza. The world’s leading independent panel of aid experts found that nearly half of the Palestinians in the enclave are struggling with hunger. Many go days without eating. Local authorities say dozens of children have starved to death — likely a significant undercount. Health care workers are battling a lack of immunizations compounded by a sanitation crisis. Last month, a little boy became Gaza’s first confirmed case of polio in 25 years

Christ this is so grim. How can Blinken and Biden read shit like this and then smile and wave about it.

If you were using this emulator, you weren’t likely purchasing anything from them in the first place. And I’m no doctor, but… I’d have to imagine that’s likely the reason Nintendo took this down to begin with.

Actually...I own a Switch and paid full price for TOTK on launch week. But playing the game in 30fps chunky resolution was very painful for me, as i've gotten quite used to 60fps+ over the last few years with 3D games. I almost put the game down in the first hour or so, playing the game was literally making my eyes hurt. That's when i went poking into the Switch emulation scene and set up yuzu (RIP). Within a few hours i was playing TOTK at 60fps 1440p and it was mostly glitch free. I put another 20 hours into the game before putting that down. But it was a glorious 20 hours, as that game is absolutely beautiful when you can wipe away the greasy look of 30fps low-res Switch graphics.

So...I am a Nintendo customer that was getting a better experience out of my purchased Nintendo game by emulating it. I know that isn't everyone in this scene - I see the reddit posts everyday for the past week about people playing leaked Echoes* of Wisdom. I get why that shit would piss Nintendo off. It just sucks that now, others can't share the amazing experience I had with TOTK.

but without any of the cool fps unlocker or upscaler mods

It's a fair question, but honestly I think Nintendo generally focuses on emulators that they perceive as affecting their current or near-future income. The Wii U is fully dead to Nintendo, at least for the moment.

Shiiiiiit. Now I'm really regretting not finishing TOTK on my PC back when I had that set up.

Didn't the Spruce Pine mines actually get hit by Helene? All the articles I am seeing are saying that "access has been blocked" due to the flooding, but nothing concrete as far as damage to the mines themselves. Seems highly concerning for the global economy, though.

fair points! ty for your thoughts

So it's the GOP's dossier from before they pulled him for VP? Huh...not sure what to do with that, exactly. Definitely some meme potential, though.

The number of users to have voiced their disagreement already exceeds that of the admins.

Seems like it's kind of a moot point then, no? If even a majority of Ukrainian users are aware of the issues with the list, I would expect most would just leave and the list would fade into obscurity.

What does "witch hunt" even mean anymore? I feel like it has been overused to the point of losing all meaning. In this case, by "witch hunt", the writer means "they have started going too far and making some bad calls". They aren't calling for people to mount heads on spikes or review bomb, as far as I can tell.

It's a strange case, though. Who do we think follows these curators? The title of the list is in Ukrainian, so I'd guess it's mostly Ukrainians. On the one hand, I don't want to tell Ukrainian folks how to spend their money with respect to Russia. Maybe for some, even the slightest whiff of Russia will turn them off from the game, regardless of how logical it is. It's not my busieness to question the mostly-harmless emotional reaction of a people under siege. For those, these curation lists might still be useful. Of course, people that care this much would probably research another way if the curator lists didn't exist.

For others, I'm sure they would prefer a curator list that actually does the research and doesn't list a game unless the purchase would very clearly benefit Russia in tax dollars. For those, this turn of events is unfortunate. On the other hand, those people are probably level-headed enough to do their own research on a game-by-game basis.

My point is: the impact of these curator lists existing is probably minimal. But maybe i'm wrong, idk. What do y'all think?

My partner likes to adorn their backpacks and jackets with them. I haven't found a good use for them. Finally figured out what to do with all my misc stickers once i got a water bottle. lol

hooray for titty sprinkles!

read the study yourself. The most commonly preyed-upon species by cats is birds. It's a global problem. I will grant you that perhaps cats fit slightly better into the urban ecosystems of Europe, but this is a minor point. They still have an outsized population due to human influence, so they will always be massively disruptive to local ecology. And none of this is considering the danger posed to the cats themselves, whom we all love.
