I was involved in the BLM protests of 2021. The cops were legitimately pulling people off the street into unmarked, black vans. Some of the people that were grabbed were not even involved in the protests, they were just outside past the citywide curfew.

I had heard about this happening in Oregon and Washington through the ever reliable internet, but I didn't actually believe it until I saw it happen in my moderately sized Midwestern city.

They pollute the most because we export our pollution to them. Everything you own is made in China because they have much lax labor and environmental regulations.

If we can stop large corporations from moving manufacturing overseas, we can maintain a much tighter control on pollution worldwide.

It's also significantly easier to get ahold of.

The Galaxy S5 was the last of the mainline series to have a removable battery, and was thinner than the S9 which came out four years later. It also had a pretty good water resistance rating.

Any "downsides" to a replaceable battery are a myth.

Jaws the movie is much better than the book. None of the characters in the book are remotely likeable.

This is presuming that he can in fact be killed.

I think most people here are all for that, but if Trump is president, it's going to get so much worse.

Voting in a two party system is a raw deal, but it's the only deal we have.

Veidt would never consider himself the good guy for what he did, but I think that's what makes the writing so excellent.

This thing is as reliable as you can get with reloadable parts that you can get from 3rd party vendors.

Every additional bell and whistle is an additional potential point of failure, so this thing is pretty lightweight and lacks any frills.

This game would absolutely kill in the modern market, like a more accessible Gary's Mod. What a waste of potential.

My theory is that this game has been built up for so long that the entire company is riding on this, yet there is no way that this game can ever hit the needed expectations to make it worth it in the eyes of investors. So I think GTA 6 is going to sink the company because they out capitalismed themselves.

Which is why they've been dragging their feet on releasing it.

Microsoft chose to work with these people and accepted their faulty input. How is it not Microsoft's fault?

To be human is to hold contradicting understandings of reality in equal measure. The amount of people who hate the idea of animal cruelty (or environmental destruction for that matter), yet still consume animal products is astronomical.

The environment will never be saved by trying to convince people to not have kids. It's a biological staple of existence stretching back billions of years, and we as a species will never give that up.

Having children gives us a species a more personal stake in the planet's future, and it would be better to focus our energies on that angle instead of demonizing people who agree with you 95% of the time.

You're working way too hard. I just make my kid where shirts that clearly say "I'm ugly" and encourage the neighborhood's kids and his classmates to throw eggs and rotten tomatoes at them.

Was this on a laptop? My Thinkpad running Mint slows down a lot when it's charging, but as soon as I unplug it, it's fine.

Probably mostly just shaken up and released. I think it was the National Guard, but I wasn't about to get close enough to ask.

!RemindMe in 5 years.

What a cliché.

That's called "being true to his character".

Oh, good.

Unimportant.

Lower Decks is great if you're already a fan of classic trek ie TOS, Next Gen, Voyager, and DS9. I would never recommend the show to anybody who wasn't a big fan of Star Trek already as most of the really good jokes would go over their head.

Strange New Worlds is a fantastic starting point though IMO.
