Next they're going to tell us that a bird sharpening its beak every thousand years wouldn't wear out a mountain made of diamond.

But earlier this month, he said he would move the company’s headquarters to Austin, citing a new Golden State law meant to protect LGBTQ+ children as the “final straw.”

Imagine being so full of hate for a highly vulnerable group of people that you base your business decisions around it.

Possibly he knows that, and is just trying to bleed his supporters for donations until the last moment.

Have you also been forgetting to covert votes to metric before you send them?

It charges up during the day like one of those glow in the dark stickers, obviously.

The bananas won't be fooled, because everyone knows that bananas are straight until they get picked and the banana bender puts the bend in them.

Personally, I've always been partial to Nikola Tesla's alternating current.

Why are we quoting each other? I remember the comment before yours. I made it. Idiot.

Because quoting in a response provides structure to the response that improves readability.

Also, you are posting on a publicly accessible forum, not having a one-on-one conversation. In that context, that fact that you may remember what you said doesn't mean that it's not beneficial to repeat it for others.

The "idiot" comment was unnecessarily rude where someone was engaging in what appeared to be a good faith response, and only brings down the tone of your entire post.

All dinosaurs are lesser to spinosaurus.

Stewart's line about how can another administration be more absurd than the Bush administration dated surprisingly badly.

Including humans. I'm not going near the person launching pinecones at my head from their yard.

It does seem like an oddly specific denial.

It's not about you feeling like a big kid or feeling over protected. It's not the subscriber that is left sitting with a server full of illegal material if someone subscribes to that sort of content, it's the instance owner, and they will be the ones that end up risking prison

If you want federation with everything, then make your own instance which hosts copies of child abuse, terrorist and hate material. But don't criticise admins for not wanting to risk jail time so you can feel uncensored.

The article has a paragraph later on that says:

In rejecting the plaintiffs' claims for damages, the court said, "It cannot be said that discussions at the Diet...regarding provisions not allowing same-sex marriage are clearly in violation of the Constitution."

I suspect the plaintiffs are only appealing that aspect of the judgment.

Does it want the hose again?

Gotta chase that sweet, sweet live service money though.

It was merely the people who decided they wanted to choose for themselves which doors they would enter, and not be told by an admin they couldn’t enter certain doors.

I don’t like being told which parts of the internet I’m not intelligent enough to decide for myself about how I feel.

and if I see a community on any of them I don’t like, then it’s MY job to block it from my view, not an admins.

I can't see a sensible way to read your comments as anything but critical of admins who choose not to federate with all instances.

My so-called vitriol is because I appreciate that by running an instance, admins are providing a service to me while bearing the brunt of the financial and legal responsibilities that go with that. If I don't like how they run it, it's incumbent on me to get out of their house and move into my own rather than complaining.

Why so often? I just updated my almost 10 year old PC that had one gpu upgrade in its life, and was still happily playing the 10 year old games I wanted to play.

Then I got the new PC with decent specs and decided to push its limits with some Stardew Valley.

The thought of seeing someone shouting "Train!" still gives me nostalgia.

It's more than just being about "stupid" people though. After all, who benefits from deliberately under-funding and attacking the integrity of educational institutions?

Oh, he absolutely should be told to shut his mouth.

The point is the courts have to be a lot more careful about circumscribing a right that has quite strong existing protections versus something that does not.

That's not comparing the same thing. Beating the crap out of someone is inherently illegal, free speech is not.

They had Australian servers about 10 years ago. I quit when they closed them down, forcing people to transfer their characters to servers with that where considerably more laggy.

Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom were both great games, with good story (if a little cutesy, but it’s aimed at being family friendly), not even really any allusion to sex.

A bit yes and no with TOTK I think. ::: spoiler spoiler You are right that TOTK doesn't have any explicit sex or romance. But the way the introductory cut scenes for Purah and Riju deliberately start from their legs and pan up over their bodies doesn't really have a purpose other than to sexualise them and announce "look how hot we've made these characters for you." :::

Are you a bot? Because that was a rambling word-salad with no discernible point.

This sounds like a good way to turn an ally against them.

Does Trump have any leverage on Kavanaugh? He played close to the line with the rules to get him appointed for life, but choosing a person likely to be ideologically symathetic is more of a mutually beneficial arrangement than a favour.

It feels like the best way to get someone who is in a secure position of power like that offside is to tell them they have to do what you say or that they owe you. Kavanaugh can just as easily say Trump is disqualified, and never be told he owes anyone again.

Fulifilling your dreams is all about the power of persistence folks! That, and having a friend willing to invest almost $70M in your dream.
