Can’t say I expected someone on Lemmy to be one of the lucky 10,000 for this topic, but here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dril

the bill itself would do more to kill reputable news than Google and Meta ever could

while i enjoy making fun of Arch in general, I will admit that Valve’s fork of it works really well on my Steam Deck

if that’s from who i think it is, the artist is 100% sincere

honestly, i can’t think of a better endorsement of ipv6 than “people who think cryptocurrency is cool hate it”

Jeb!

Sega Game Gear – my parents had this whole Thing about not wanting me to hook stuff up to the TV (although I occasionally convinced them to rent a Genesis and a few games for the weekend). Favorite game…hard to say, probably one of the Sonic games but I don’t remember which.

If only non-portable consoles count, they did eventually pick up a used NES (and later got me a Nintendo 64 as a birthday gift). Favorites there are Legend of Zelda and Ogre Battle 64.

This would imply that a single slice of quiche would itself become toast. I don’t think we can apply the cube rule to pieces of food; it has to be the original prepared form before being served.

Given how much Gannett is to blame for newspaper consolidation and the resulting shitshow, this feels more like a “let them fight” at best.

I always figured the real authentication was tied into the comm badges, and the authorization codes were just a fancy “are you sure”

you’re an idiot if you think China is communist

the entire country is just capitalism with extra steps

I don’t want to just respond with something like “in other news, the Pope is still Catholic”, but with Elon Musk running the show over there there’s really no good reason to expect otherwise.

So, yeah, Pope still Catholic.

True, it’s hardly a complete explanation. But it at least makes it easier to rationalize it as “because effects budget” than might otherwise be the case.

(Alternate comedy option: Starfleet isn’t human-dominated, it’s actually Lanthanite-dominated and they just got better about hiding the accent.)

Eh, the problem I have with that approach is that in my case, Adderall helps me do stuff like “get the trash out to the dumpster” and “make phone calls”. Executive dysfunction is a bitch and a half for plenty of reasons that’d still be there even if we finally attained fully automated luxury gay space communism.

Yes, and I will peck the FUCK out of anyone who argues otherwise.

Regarding the humanocentrism, there was one possible explanation I hit on while playing Star Trek Online and noticing the availability of species-specific ships (such as the Atrox carrier and the Andorian escorts) – basically, most member worlds maintain their own independent fleets, but Earth doesn’t. The human prominence in Starfleet is an artifact of that – there’s no official Earth Expeditionary Fleet, so the people who might join it apply to Starfleet instead.

I still have a soft spot for Crystal Warriors for the Game Gear.

As a game, it’s kind of mediocre – not bad, but not great. But it was my first exposure to tactics RPGs, and that gives me a lot of fond memories despite.

I’ve said before that doctors are the engineers of the human body, and Ben Carson is my go-to example of what that means.
