Also, a lot of kids don’t have the slightest idea of what the “save” icon in their apps represents. They just know it’s the save icon because it’s everywhere

Yeah I used to think that the breed does not meaningfully affect their personality but that changed when I met my gf’s orientals

I think the siamese-types might just be orientals with the same color pattern as siameses. Which is basically the same thing as far as I’m concerned but apparently there are differences

(I’m generally not a fan of Cloudflare, because its man-in-the-middle position between users and services has grown to an unhealthy scale, making it ripe for dragnet surveillance and other abuses. But it would be even worse if it was actively helping these greedy, predatory corporations dodge the law.)

You cannot convince me that it’s not literally a NSA front at this point.

its not normative womans, gays and trans people.

Not broad enough. When “gamers” say that something is political, what they mean is that it contains politics they disagree with. The ones you cited just happen to be the things they easily recognize because their favorite right wing grifter is raging about them 24/7.
As you also said, they usually don’t have the media literacy required to recognize more subtle political messages, which can be pretty funny. I remember when Disco Elysium was first released and they were very confused because it contains some actual, pretty deep political reflections

The old-school way, which is basically just overlaying an image with transparency over another one (in this case I also had to crop the template I found because it was the one with the 2 guys, and I used some online image editor tool but paint.net or gimp would have done the job if I had bothered to install them). I just searched “soyjack pointing template transparency PNG” in duckduckgo images search for the template.

These weapon handling animations look gorgeous. Hope they’re not faked for the trailer.

Basically me when I saw that one :

Any IP escaping Take Two’s claws is good news

I saw a city maintenance guy with an electric leaf blower for the first time ever the other day. It was a beautiful sunny day too so I felt like I was looking at one of these utopic cities animations for a second

The “without an MS account” is the hard part. Don’t you have to basically use a hidden debug feature to actually do that on install in windows 11 ? And then if it’s anything like windows 10, they might trick you into tying the OS to your account if you log into it for visual studio/office/Windows store or whatever, that happened to me on my laptop and it was a major pain in the ass to revert

Al Capone moment

Don’t assume even your own country is trustworthy in this.

My country is one of the world leaders in mass spying software development and even gave themselves the right to basically do deep packet inspections on everything going through it a long time ago, so…

Excuse me, what the fuck ? By saying that killing said innocent civilians was avoidable and accomplishes nothing, I am defending the terrorists now ? Can you at least try to feign some intellectual honesty if we’re gonna argue ?

Right, and since Israel has one of the best intelligence agencies on the planet and access to precision guided bombs they couldn’t figure out how to blow up these guys without civilian casualties.

Obviously the trees were Hamas /s

I’m failing to see how bombing that guy’s mom accomplishes that though

youtube was even worse, i had to go through 10 unrelated videos to find one slightly relevant one.

Last month I typed letter for letter the title of a video I saw on there in YouTube search and it tried so hard to push some other barely related videos, I couldn’t believe it. I ended up typing the url manually like some internet cave man

<rant> It’s not actually that powerful, but it does work like this to some extent (and of course the “official” lore is pretty vague about it and sometimes contradicts itself).

The way I see it, they can’t just pick up a stick and turn it into a rifle by believing that it is one, but they have some inherent collective knowledge of mechanics that allows them to make the technology even though their intellect should definitely be a huge hurdle, and if they collectively believe hard enough that, for example, the (hand made) barrel of their gun that should be way off tolerance is actually a proper gun barrel, it will work as intended and only blow up after emptying 20 mags instead of instantly</rant>

I love polite cats
