I’m sorry but (all other issues with the scene aside) pretending that performative “apologies” are a good thing actually is genuinely problematic. Performative apologies are inherently manipulative by drawing attention away from the thing you’re apologising for and by being designed to be an effort that feels bad to reject.

The problem with DA2 was that it was a decent game but a bad sequel. I’ve come to appreciate it but when I first played it I was incredibly disappointed. I did not want a personal narrative, I wanted freedom to role-play.

Gerhard Schröder is a strong contender for that title as well.

Legally it’s still a licence.

The entire eastern block adopted Lysenkoism.

The USSR also abused medical science to imprison dissidents in mental institutions based on false diagnoses.

As yet another 30-something year old I’ve never even seen a cheque. Is that a USA thing?

Not in this context. Curious can have the same meaning as “kurios”, as it does here.

I don’t think you can lump Endeavour and Garuda together. Yes, they’re both based on Arch but Endeavours basically is Arch with a GUI installer and sane defaults while Garuda changes a ton of things and adds a ton of customisations that make it very different from a plain Arch (or Endeavour) system.

In places that already have the necessary infrastructure in place or that can actually afford to lose billions, and that are actually in a location where outdoor sports aren’t literally suicide (looking at you, Qatar World Cup). That’s the only way for the Olympics to not be a massive burden on the host city.

You mean that time when North Korea invaded South Korea? They weren’t “caught lacking” they started the war.

They want women afraid. The doctors are just collateral damage. It’s not about children and it never was (if they cared about cheap labour and disposable soldiers they’d embrace immigration instead), it’s about controlling women.

No need for anything particularly modern. Even on a ten year old laptop I’ve not noticed a difference (Windows, on the other hand, barely runs at all on that machine).

Yes, it can.

No, it didn’t. Not voting isn’t “against all” it’s “idgaf, even if the Nazi wins I’m cool with that”.

That’s probably the point behind the whole endeavour - force Russia to divert forces from the main frontline to defend their borders.

Aren’t those still made from steel? There should be nothing preventing you(r friend) from sharpening them.

That’s the issue with online advertising in a nutshell, isn’t it.

My issue isn’t that it’s breaking sites. It’s the fingerprint resistance making the basic user experience unpleasant. Refusing to remember window size, forcing light mode, etc. I understand why, but those aren’t sacrifices I’m willing to make.

Firefox. Librewolf’s defaults make it very inconvenient to use as a normal, day to day web browser. You can obviously change all of that but at that point you might as well just use Firefox with a handful of add-ons so that’s what I’m doing.

Well, good news for you: it’s August now.
