I don't watch babish because he stopped making the videos about a food in a show or movie.

I love Philly d, I like him better than traditional news channels, but watching just made me depressed.

It’s very cool

Wait, are they cool or hot? I'm so confused.

"remake" is generous of the titling editor. That's a tech demo or a mechanic demo. Still good, though. The seamless transitions are nice.

As a former Texas resident: The Texas government can fuck alllllll the way off with that. Design a city that doesn't need cars and people won't need to use them. Residents HAVE to use cars because the place is so fucking unfriendly to pedestrians.

Cinema Sins. Used to be 5 minute videos pointing out continuity errors or over-use of something (Iron Man 2 Bird Bonus Round) but then bloated into 20 minutes of nit picky bull crap.

Ah, my hard line stance of "never buy anything ubisoft" is still working out for me.

No shit it's gonna fail. If you half ass something you obviously didn't wanna do, in an already fucked up development situation, it's not going well. No shit Sherlock.

I'm so pissed. I was so hyped for pve. I love the overwatch character design and universe but hate pvp.

This can't be real. There are so many red flags this is fake. 1) Everything is censored. 2) GIS (Google image search) lookup only shows reddit and linkedin. The linkedin post is just as vague "learned a colleague received this!" 3) It's too good to be true. it plays on current fears. 4) It's just so dumb.

Not unilaterally. Linking to reddit is fine, but bots that just repost links are not. If you, a person, find something on reddit that's worthwhile (a comic that's only posted on reddit, or a thread detailing a tech solution, or something else) and link it, then that's fine. You, a person, found value on another site and shared it. I don't care what a bot thinks. I care what you, my fellow lemming, thinks.

You people have friends?

I don't block instances. I block communities and users. An instance is too large a group of people. They're not a monolith. Some people on hexbear are garbage and some are not. Some topics encourage jerks, some do not.

I want to go every week. I miss it. I love the music, the tradition, the community, and being part of something bigger than myself.

I do not want to be associated with the kind of people who scream at "sinners" entering abortion clinics but don't actually do anything to solve the reason they go there. Nor with heriarchies that shuffle pedophiles around to avoid punishment instead of throwing the book at the. Nor with the mega churches who refuse to help flood or hurricane victims, but instead locked their doors. Nor with the cult of idolatry that venerates a fraudulent, adulterous, pathological lying narcissist.

Being associated with Christians made me stop wanting to go to church. I'm fucking pissed.

Tldw - fuck's

I've thought about it. It's tempting because it's simple. When you spend time and energy on your wife and she doesn't give anything back, it's very lonely. A cam girl is simple. Money goes in, attention comes out. It's not exactly what I want but it's got a higher success rate that what I've got now.

claiming that they are still searching for the correct charity to partner

Isn't that something you should do before you start a donation drive? Wtf?

Enough so that Target is pulling out of San Francisco, IIRC

ehhhhhhhhhhhhh. They're blaming theft, but that's not it. Theft might be a part of it, but the stats nearby contradict that. We don't have access to their internal theft metrics, but the city data doesn't pan out. When there are stores (mission district) that have higher theft and are staying open, then is it really theft?

Or is it poor retail performance since WFH is the new king and people live in the suburbs more than in the city. When continue to order online more and more instead of shop at a physical store.

Theft is an easy way to blame other people without providing evidence. It's not the CEO's failure to adapt to changing market conditions, it's the poors! It's their fault! /s

I would love more, but how? It was a rather self contained story.

Mobile internet shouldn’t require that to be readable.

You're right, but we can't realistically affect web designers directly. We can only control our devices, so we should focus our energy there first.

Starship troopers. I say this not because the movie is bad (it's not, I think it's exactly what it meant to be and did it well), but that the movie and the book are thematically opposites. The book is very pro military authoritarian. The movie is a satire of that.

Eh, he said the word apologize, but that's not a full apology. All they essentially did was acknowledge that they noticed the public was mad at them. A full apology includes that acknowledgment and then what they did wrong and how they're going to try to prevent it again. I doubt that last point will happen.

Short version - war criminal that a lot of rich and powerful people love because he got them what they wanted.

I'm not in software dev but 8 years seems a long time to make a game like this. I love the game and play it daily, but it's not that deep. It's has 5 maps and 20 guns and 2 kinds of enemies. That doesn't doesn't seem like an 8 year dev time.

Are you cherry picking the good games out of older libraries? I find people do that a lot when remembering. It's a survivorship bias thing. The good ones get remembered more and the bad one forgotten, so they seem like the population is better.

Priced at $60 for the 4GB variant, and $80 for its 8GB sibling (plus your local taxes), virtually every aspect of the platform has been upgraded, delivering a no-compromises user experience.

Ehhhhhh, that's pushing it. Didn't the v4 and v3 cost in the $30-$40 range?

Isn't fraudulent to change the terms of the deal after you've agreed to a contract? How are the new fees enforceable at all?

Stop giving Ybarra attention, news outlets. He's fucking terrible.

Shhhh. Let people enjoy things.

After all, Federal Reserve data shows that while the 56 million Americans over 65 make up just 17% of the population, they hold more than half of America’s wealth — $96.4 trillion.

How is that wealth distributed? What do you wanna bet it's REALLY skewed towards rich people hoarding like old dragons? What's the median, not average, wealth of the boomers?

Myst. I know, I know. One of the hallmarks of video games. I hated it. I like games that give you a path and let you figure it out. I've hundreds of hours into Factorio and it's kin. Portal! A puzzle game, Portal gives you A and Z and lets you figure out how to get there. Myst doesn't do ANYTHING. Nothing was obvious to me. I didn't understand where the A to Z was. I couldn't find A, Z, or any of the other steps. None of it clicked. Years ago, I watched some parts of walk throughs and I did not understand how I was supposed to know the things they were doing. None of it made any sense to me.

Only 50%?! Holy crap! I guess they really don't wanna live on Planet Bob.

Anyone who gives you backlash is welcome to take over your duties.

I literally moved out of state because of that storm and the finger pointing afterwards. I hate Abbot, I hate the Republicans, and I hate anyone who aligns themselves with those factions. It's been 3 years and I'm still furious.

Why do people (not you op) cut off the source? It's literally extra work.

Adam Hays, who owned Red Rock before selling the franchise in 2021, said his sales representative did not observe that Casteel’s mother had any cognitive issues. He said HomeVestors demanded its franchises maintain a “strict standard of integrity and honesty.”

Utter bullshit. I'd bet they totally did and don't care in the slightest. A sale is a sale. Greed is greedy.

Good. If business plan relies on exploiting workers, then it's a garbage business plan & deserves to fail.

Not in my case, I think. Very stereotypical conservative, religious parents. Have rejected many of their bigoted values, kept the work ethic, tried to carry empathy to it's logical conclusion rather than stopping when they thought it was hard. I've changed religions. I think my country's military policy is abhorrent.

I miss gourmet makes. Claire Saffitz solving industrial food issues on a small scale was fascinating and unique. Her new stuff, dessert person, is nice, but it's standard cooking show fare, not solving weird industrial hacks.
