TMW you realize there's no downside to joining multiple communities for the same topic, even if they have the same name.

Yeah his money comes from the girls not his influencer business

Today I learned that IBM is still a major thing

They're certainly colluding to screw workers and consumers as much as possible. It benefits them to work together against the working class.

At least Bojack got paid

That's exactly what I read. You can even nuke the ice after cuz nukes r fun

The CMA agreed to negotiate so I think it's likely that a deal will be made soon. The UK doesn't want to be left out

It's corporate-speak that means nothing. The same company "focused on it's core business" today will buy something unrelated sometime later and say it's "poised for growth in a growing market".

It's more important to me to consider the ethics or morality of the situation rather than the legality. Laws, especially in the US, are built to protect those in power, aka those with money. In all of those situations, you'd be considered a thief. But the idea that education is a commodity is immoral in the first place. So I have no qualms about the classroom and workshop. The cinema either.

This! I'm rebuilding my collection right now so its great to just copy whole chunks of other people's libraries.

We often forget that big companies have been broken up before.

That's rough!

Every time we get more horsepower they mostly devote it to graphics that look slightly more spectacular. Booooooring

Yeah feature parity made sense in the beginning so the S didn't get left behind but at this point its place feels secure to me. It's the cheap option. I think most gamers understand that and accept the trade-offs that are inherent in that choice.

In this vein, sudokuslam.com is cool too

I've been testing music servers lately so this is perfect timing!

The difference is that the west outsourced the war to the Africans. It's probably costs more than direct intervention but they get a compliant country that they can use for profits and whatever else, and none of the risk to human life. I wouldn't call that progress, just neocolonialism

Only if a search sends me there and other links aren't giving me what I need

Not at all. I believe that humans do best when eating meat and that animals can be raised and slaughtered humanely without harming the environment. The problem is that it isn't profitable

This is my exact scenario and thinking

Agreed bc I hate holding that thing! I only needed it to be a handheld for me to carry around the house and the ergonomics killed that possibility. Even with a grip on it giving it more bulk it's still awkward to use the thumgsticks and hold the system

I actually like the nostalgia font. I just need that and pureblack in compact aka widescreen.

I'm playing Palia. It's a cozy single/multiplayer survival-ish game. I love that it has very low friction. So far I'm having a great time playing while I listen to podcasts or YouTube

I think the poll question was about support of the new government's policies. I can't answer the second question as I have no idea how this poll was done.

It seems to me that neither side deserves support but the west deserves less. The people of the country seem to support to coup by a wide margin.

The world is way more exploitative than you seem to recognize. I suggest researching unequal exchange.

"Beyond this, outright corruption has also played a part in maintaining the postcolonial order. Françafrique has comprised countries notorious for human rights violations, including Niger. Subservient puppet leaders ignored democratic progress in return for massive aid programmes. Bribes have been paid via arms deals and other help with security, and – of course – in hard cash that has been laundered."

Total agreement. His message was revolutionary.

This is hilarious! It's also ridiculous that tactics like this is what government is.

I need someone smarter than me to come up with all the ways this could go wrong. It sounds cool to me but I don't know anything

It's plenty sane, just not built for the success of regular people.
