Isn’t this whole thing a bit performative? I mean, dogs aren’t inherently more worthy of liberation from the meat market than any other farm animal.

I just dump a liter of bleach in the upper deck and remove the seat. Nothing cleans you up better than a good swirl.

It’s really concerning how many comments are snidly dismissive or in some cases outright hostile to this particular peice of reporting.

Does Hamas deny that the hostages were kidnapped or mistreated? Are the circumstances of these particular people’s capture suspect? Are thier experiences disputed?

I see no comments even attempting to say so. It reads as wantonly jingoistic.

It sounds really cool, but I’ve honestly had issues installing it on two PCs now on two separate occasions separated by a couple months. Issues I didn’t have installing Ubuntu. The installer would fail to complete. I’m not a Linux power user, and while I tried debugging for a few hours, I gave up.

I keep reading his name as David D Pepe in my head. Far too fitting.

Oh it does? So you need two copies of the game, but cross save works on steam? That’s actually kinda useful for folks with steam libraries and game pass.

Yeah, this seems to be using the Xbox play anywhere system. So people who have a PC and an Xbox have thier saves synced. I’m sure it will not work steam.

Interesting! I didn’t follow this case, but I do remember Kevin spacey posting a very strange video a ways back in which he acted… Very creepy about the situation.

Anyone following the case have any thoughts?

The best thing about Ben Shapiro is that each day I share on this planet with him is one less day I need to coexist with Ben Shapiro.

Digital foundry had an interesting take on this. Cod makes more than 1 billion a year, and cost probably more each year than any other franchise to develop and maintain. If Microsoft made it an Xbox exclusive, they might cut that 1 billion dollar figure in half, and the franchise might bleed more money than MS would make selling more consoles. In fact, the franchise might go negative.

Basically, they can’t afford to lose the ps5 playerbase.

Fuck Republicans, but just for a sanity check, is it normal to say “people of color?” As in, “The judicial system is biased against people of color.” That’s in my verbal lexicon, and I’m suddenly questioning it.

Slurs are so interesting, being on a broad shifting scale based on contextual usage. I think it’s interesting, for example, that “handicapped” has become a slur in my lifetime through it’s general misuse.

This is perhaps the most significant indicator of bad faith decisions by conservatives.

It’s like gun regulation. A functioning, pro gun, political party would propose gun control regulations which achieve and addresses concerns, while maintaining and satisfying the fundamentals of gun ownership. Advocacy groups, like the NRA, would then have involvement and assurance. They shouldn’t instead advocate for no solution whatsoever: The only possible result of which will be an eventual critical anti gun majority with following blanket fire arm bans. Or occasional, disruptive bans on specific weapons.

Death Stranding has heavy horror themes, but it’s ultimately one of the most positive messaging games I’ve played in years. It’s set during the apocalypse, or extinction of human kind, where the world of the dead has collided with the world of the living, and lost souls roam the planet looking for bodies.

It’s beautiful, and oddly optimistic. The ending is actually positive. Characters grow and mature over the span of the game, all during a lovecraftian sort of nightmare. Definitely scratched that itch for me.

IS THAT A PINEAPPLE NEXT TO THE PIZZA??!!!

I just downloaded it for Android. I’m really impressed by it’s performance! Plus it has a in game mod browser! Awesome!

Any service looking to replace human writers with ai is positioning itself for failure once generative ai becomes more mainstream. Once your average Joe can ask a native phone app for anything they want, the Only value of written text will be the human element.
