The lengths to which this game goes to steal all my free time is absurd.

Wow that’s really cool. The hybrid physical/virtual is a great touch, and the ability to customize what’s in those top two rows would be amazing. So cool what you can do with modular open design!

Wow, crazy. I was looking up some context and found this Reuters article which says it’s the 8th West/Central African coup in three years.

Thanks for digging up the important line. So annoying to have sensationalist headlines like this that bury the lede and completely disprove their own thesis several paragraphs down, but I mean as long as it gets that initial click…

I Have No Bowl, and I Must Scream.

Trump: Haha jk jk… unless??

mamma mia :(

Slaps the hood of Baldur’s Gate 3 this bad boy can fit so many wildly exceeded expectations for a complete AAA-title at launch in 2023

“Even tomatoes need a vacation … we are unable to add tomatoes to our food,” read notices pasted at two Burger King India outlets.

So you’re telling me even Schrödinger’s fruit/vegetable gets more vacation time than me?

True but including their addresses and reposting those along with misinformation about their politics to a board known for violent rhetoric is a major escalation intended to threaten the jurors

I think part of the issue is we’re kind of taking about two different words here.

Liberal as in someone who believes in economic neoliberalism generally means someone who supports free-market capitalism in some form. This is what socialists/communists generally mean when they’re insulting someone for being a liberal online.

Liberal, in the US political sense, has also changed to mean something more like socially liberal that “considers government as a crucial instrument for amelioration of social inequities (such as those involving race, gender, or class).” Which is what people I think mean when they say conservatives vs. liberals in the US, or when self-described progressive dems/democratic socialists will still claim to be very liberal or in favor of liberal policies.

Haven’t read the whole report but I believe that pretty much all of these charges are for conduct between Election Night 2020 and Biden being seated as president Jan. 20, 2021, meaning Trump was president at the time.

While this mode of access is important, usage is tiny—on average, each recording in the collection is only accessed by one researcher per month.

Like come on there is no profit here, it is literally just for the public benefit and so that we can learn from a deeply important era of recording before the recordings literally turn to dust.

This feels ripped out of the playbook of scummy mobile ads or adult sites where trying to click the x leads you to the exact content your were trying to avoid

As opposed to the alternative, surrendering to Russia to the last Ukrainian.

This argument assumes that absent US backing Ukraine and Russia would not be at war. Ukraine is not just a pawn between a Russia-US struggle, it’s a state which has asked for assistance in an existential struggle with a much larger authoritarian aggressor. Ukrainians are dying because of Russian aggression, not US backing.

I’ve been debating which console I might want to get for awhile now and this may have been the final straw pushing me towards the PS5. Haven’t been this excited about this game in a long time and there are several other exclusives that look amazing too.

Honestly just shocked how well Adblockalypse rolls off the tongue despite being the linguistic equivalent of three kids in a trench coat

Every article is by “David Demos” which is clearly a pseudonym. I’m not disagreeing with the conclusions, but it’s definitely a red flag for me when info about the author is so obscured. Like it’s fine to be anonymous of course, but there is no establishment of who this person is other than an About page that uses weirdly upbeat language to advocate for anti-austerity measures to support population growth which is itself a strange take and I would want to know more about who is making it and why.

They’re about page is a bit of a trip and seems like it’s all about being anti-austerity? At which point why not have an anti-austerity website instead of one about stopping population decline?

It’s not so weird when that country has about 1 out of every 6 humans on earth, and when 10.56 million people died in China in 2022. They’re experiencing decline not growth.
