Heh. They sure will be greatly astonished once the first US troops ship to Israel. It’s OK, because Israel is not in the NATO.

Taking things online only gives the illusion of safety - especially in places like Facebook. If ‘they’ really want you, your home address is only a subpoena or two away.

Nope - not Onion.

I know… but they still gave me the illusion that I owned the game :(

I wish it wasn’t so tragic, so I could laugh at people who couldn’t vote for Harris because Biden didn’t single-handedly stop the genocide.

Fuuuuuuuu…

Where am I going to buy my games now? Sometimes it’s still nice to own the disk.

The main problem is that people don’t understand that the Vice President does not set monetary policy. Neither does the President. The Federal Reserve is supposed to be completely immune to political pressure. Fortunately, King Donald will do his best to put an end to that.

I happen to believe that the current policy was correct, and averted even worse problems - but that does not happen in a matter of months. If Trump somehow fails to fudge up the trajectory we are on, he will get to take credit for policies enacted during Biden’s presidency (again, not by Biden, but nobody will care).

Last Trump, there was a pretty good way to predict who would get what position: Pick an agency, and google ‘tried to sue <insert agency here>’.

Vegetables are a social construct.

Thank you for pointing that out! I always thought it looked interesting, but somehow thought that it was only available on Steam - and my PC is not up to the task. Just bought it for the PS5.

Try kalamatas.

They are, however, aces at reiterating the problem.

You did :)

German Lutheran. We don’t go for strong feelings.

For sure. I think if I had to fly these days, I would feel vaguely uneasy if I ended up in a Boeing.

I’m guessing that was the rationale for sending it back unmanned?

I see some strong social commentary here: A male presenting person essentially turns one of his (formerly SFW) nipples into a female nipple - thus turning it… NSFW? I have never seen a more scathing indictment of the bigoted way in which we treat bodies based on sex.

That, or he was being moderately funny.

I don’t think I have ever heard it called that. Very apt, though.

True, that is a thing to consider. I have to use an iPhone because I get it through my place of employment, and if I had a nickel for every time the actual OS postponed an automatic update because I wasn’t connected to power / I seemed busy / the stars just weren’t aligned properly, I would probably have over a dollar.

In that respect, I like my desktop (Debian) so much better: I can set it to update the OS automatically, which includes all installed software (as long as it’s installed through the official repository), and it will let me know if something failed to upgrade, so I can do it by hand. Also, they rock at getting critical security updates out in a timely manner. I’m not sure how much I trust Apple with that.
