Didn't realize how far back the feed was reaching because everything was limited to a handful of communities on my feed.

No disagreement here.

 

Just 'cause it was too ridiculous-looking to be real, except it is real. FT tanks were surprisingly small.

Fortunately, no. But they will probably eat the harmless giant grasshopper-things (wela) that also live in New Zealand backyards.

There's also giant crickets in Africa, and several giant beetles in Japan. I swear I don't remember where I learned all this, I've never even been to New Zealand or Australia or any of the other places (aside from South America).

Fair enough, but if you're on the internet post-2017 looking to reduce your stress, you're in the wrong parts of the internet. Find a forum that's been around since well before then on your hobbies (niche hobbies like old fandoms tend to have the best results), other than that social media killed the internet.

If they did, this is a f-ing miracle. Imma do it next time I sign up for a service that doesn't require confirmation emails to change the address (they're rare but there's a few, lemmy/kbin instances are sometimes among them).

Isn’t that what they did? At least between consenting adults.

Technically, yes. And for a time, it was good.

Then Roe vs. Wade was overturned for no good reason and Trump stole the election last year. The (federal) laws towards gay/lesbian(/etc?) marriage hasn't changed afaik, but it would surprise me if that is how it is in practice under Teflon Don.

Not bashing anyone, does LGBTQ as an acronym even matter as a whole for marriages as much as for self-expression and mental health? Not in a "LGBTQ is lesser" way, but think about it logically. Asexuals (well, aromantic asexuals) aren't getting married, they don't want to. Getting married as transgender should absolutely be legal and legitimate, it's just that in a marriage, you're either male or female or (in rare cases) hermaphroditic in a biological, body-focused sense, so your marriage can be gay or lesbian or straight but whether you started out as the gender you currently are should be irrelevant to marriage status as long as the government acknowledges you are your current gender regardless of if you changed your gender.

If you want to normalize this stuff, the best way to do it is to at least recognize nuance and definitions. There are edge cases, those can and should be considered legal too, but as a single asexual person with opinions that contradict both partisan political extremes, if it looks like a fashion statement instead of a call for peace or a demand for true equality, you're probably doing it wrong.

Of course, now there are bigger issues. Probably better to force Trump off his throne and then never let up the pressure on improving from there.

I mean, you're both kind of right. I'm no doctor but it seems like something doctors (good doctors, anyway) would seriously consider in regards to this. On the one hand, they're leaving people to the wolves. On the other, there is nothing you can do in the US if it gets that far that will outweigh the good you can do elsewhere. But then, is that actually true? This isn't the literal same as WWII, it's just extremely similar, a pattern we are able to recognize this time around because it happened before and was well-documented. It's possible that this time, leaving would in fact cause more harm than good. But if you have a family... Well, I can't blame you for protecting your own kids over your patients and their kids, as long as you don't throw someone else under the bus.

It's complicated. When there's that many variables, all you can do is trust your gut. No one can predict the future that well, if at all.

The giant spiders are Australian. I mean, it's Australia, everything has two health bars. That said, there is a harmless but creepy-crawly-looking giant grasshopper-looking thing called a giant wētā that - like actual grasshoppers - likes to live in and lay its' eggs in people's backyards. Here, educate yourself!

If you hate bugs, I'd recommend heading to South America (make sure to check local political stability of each of the nations) and staying in a city, or heading to northern Canada and buying a tiny shack to ride this all out away from everyone else. Japan is a possibility but... fucking murder hornets. Literally in Tokyo suburbs.

People are the problem, then. All people. And not in a solvable way.

I can't fucking fix you or myself or anyone else. If technology was the problem, machines can be repaired or replaced. People can't, yet you all insist on being fucking insufferable.

Oh yeah, Trump? Well, come near anyone to defend those fucking nazimobiles (provided there was no one in them, I'm not crazy) over people and see how long you last. This is war, doesn't matter that you're a handful of people with a shitton of money, WE WILL END YOU.

The article itself fits, thank you.

He's 10, and even though psychopaths can start that early, psychopaths can't feel or fake regret. Are you going to send an 11 year old to prison over a boy recklessly grabbing a gun owned by his parents? Even as an adult, that's manslaughter but not murder. Even if he could potentially be a sociopath (who can fake empathy), what proof do you have that's the case? Are you willing to send a 11 year old to prison for life on the coin flip he might be a sociopath? Are you willing to do so if it was your son?

This is something that should be watched very closely. If he can be deported or imprisoned, you can.

I literally refuse to buy from Wal-Mart because of that shit. Lied to their workers nobody was getting fired or laid off, bullshit.

OK, c’est pas vraiment "l’image du jour". Elle correspond plus à la période troublée que nous traversons actuellement.

Meta sneakily introduced "Platform Integrity Attestation API" which basically calls home to see whether the user has a valid license to play.

This means that to run apps user has to have online connection to perform an integrity test. Whether it's only a test on launch or continues call home like Denuvo-like DRMs is not yet clear. This could also mean that modified headsets could fail to pass this test essentially closing down the device for modifications that could damage "platform integrity". Not all details are clear yet but this doesn't look good.

Currently it's optional and up to app developers to enable it.

A few preserved iPhone games or something (I think). These are, apparently, an archive of unsupported versions of popular games on phones, which are no longer available on the App Stores. They run inside the browser. These are NOT pirated, if media IS for sale then please support those who make games before resorting to what is legally defined as theft.

Is it just me or does it feel smoother? Because even with mods I've never been able to get java to run without some level of jankiness. I have a realm server I share with friends entirely because of the ability to have mods work and gameplay to be smooth.

If I'm wrong about this, would be nice to know how you get Java to run smoothly, I miss Mystcraft.
