Solidarity? I dunno, what’s in it for me?

-the Dems who gave up on healthcare subsidies

That’s incredibly controlling behavior from them. The privacy violations are egregious.

Oh I was just joking about this janky adapter. It worked great paired with a CRT.

VGA stands for “vestigial garbage adapter” after all.

Get out into nature. Take frequent walks.

Be social, even if you don’t want to in the moment.

Have a goal to work towards that doesn’t have anything to do with employment (learn to draw, or play piano, or cook).

Be patient with yourself and others. It’s rough out there.

What kind of music do you make? There may be a com just for that that could appreciate what you do. Also, I’m just curious.

I agree with Tal though, the music production one seems to be the most active.

They work really well in third-person games for camera control. I beat Elden Ring on a Steam controller; you have a lot more speed and precision than with a stick.

We rarely get snow in Texas; we get a solid sheet of ice that covers everything. The city also doesn’t plow, and nobody has snow tires because it’s only going to be a day or two.

Yeah, southern drivers don’t know how to drive (in or out of snow, really), but places like Denver and Dallas have such different experiences that it’s not really fair to compare them. It’d be like mocking Alaskins because they’re miserable in 90°F; they don’t have the AC to handle what is incredibly mild weather to me.

Not saying you’re mocking or disrespectful, I’m just on my soapbox.

It used to be that they’d put baseball games on broadcast TV.

Now you basically need a subscription to watch the team in my area. It’s like they don’t want anyone to see the games.

You have to spring for the french fry cuffs.

Maybe I don’t understand what you mean, but it seems pretty reliable to me. In what way do you envision it failing? Lasers or mocap would seem to make it less reliable due to the required processing.

Same.

It really begins to get at the depravity of the man.

Oh that guy is a paranoid loser. I think it’s also an alt for (among many others) Universal Monk.

The implication was that they’re smarter than “the educated.”

Edit: Here’s the full quote:

We won with young. We won with old. We won with highly educated. We won with poorly educated. I love the poorly educated. We’re the smartest people, we’re the most loyal people, and you know what I’m happy about? Because I’ve been saying it for a long time. 46% were the Hispanics—46%, No. 1 one with Hispanics. I’m really happy about that.

It’s an old fascist saw that folk wisdom is better than book-learning.

From They Thought They Were Free- the Germans, 1933-45:

Because the mass movement of Nazism was nonintellectual in the beginning, when it was only practice, it had to be anti- intellectual before it could be theoretical. What Mussolini’s official philosopher, Giovanni Gentile, said of Fascism could have been better said of Nazi theory: “We think with our blood.” Expertness in thinking, exemplified by the professor, by the high-school teacher, and even by the grammar- school teacher in the village, had to deny the Nazi views of history, economics, literature, art, philosophy, politics, biology, and education itself.

Thus Nazism, as it proceeded from practice to theory, had to deny expertness in thinking and then (this second process was never completed), in order to fill the vacuum, had to establish expert thinking of its own— that is, to find men of inferior or irresponsible caliber whose views conformed dishonestly or, worse yet, honestly to the Party line. The nonpolitical pastor satisfied Nazi requirements by being nonpolitical. But the nonpolitical schoolmaster was, by the very virtue of being nonpolitical, a dangerous man from the first. He himself would not rebel, nor would he, if he could help it, teach rebellion; but he could not help being dangerous— not if he went on teaching what was true. In order to be a theory and not just a practice, National Socialism required the destruction of academic independence.

In the years of its rise the movement little by little brought the community’s attitude toward the teacher around from respect and envy to resentment, from trust and fear to suspicion. The development seems to have been inherent; it needed no planning and had none. As the Nazi emphasis on nonintellectual virtues (patriotism, loyalty, duty, purity, labor, simplicity, “blood,” “folk- ishness”) seeped through Germany, elevating the self-esteem of the “little man,” the academic profession was pushed from the very center to the very periphery of society.

People can be led by the nose if you confirm their bigotry and make them think they’re smart.

I was just making a joke. Lighten up.

Ok, but hear me out:

If you accelerate something into a freefall orbit, then it stands to reason that the projectile would deal falling damage (equal and opposite force, you know) which maxes out at 20 d6.

I’ve found that most people who hate feminism are sad divorcees who are pissed because they couldn’t financially trap their spouse into legalized rape.

Hating equal rights for women says a lot more about you than it does about women.

An automatic transmission also has many clutches inside to release or grab different parts of the planetary gear assembly.

But yes, not what people think of when they say “clutch.”

Thermal mask against FPV drones.

And a cool sword, that’d be sick.
