Sub-caps are the worst.

I mean… It was a gamble. Internet was still young. Speeds weren’t keeping up with game sizes outside a few major cities. I was mailed a few large files because it was quicker than downloading them. Not to mention the desire for physical copies over a digital thing you can lose with a bad hard drive was at an all time high.

Then people realized the internet wasn’t just nerd shit, ISPs slowly ramped up their DL speeds and suddenly the thing people mocked for not being feasible is doing well because of how convenient it became.

Gabe even admits he had doubts for awhile.

I wonder where gaming would be if he had listened to the doubters. There’s no denying valve has had a major impact on modern gaming

It’s the eternal pointless chase for a meaning that was never there and never will.

So… Life.

My life has been directly, negatively impacted by Christian extremism far more than Islamic extremism.

So far I have yet to enter a clinic that has been damaged by a Muslim’s molotov because someone is doing a thing that they think their special book says not to do.

All religion is incompatible with civilized society as long as there are those who would twist it into a cudgel to beat down the nonbelievers.

If you think that Islam is somehow worse than others, not only are you misinformed of current issues the world over, you are also misinformed about history in general.

Holy shit that description reads like the journalist who “got ptsd” from shooting a rifle…

It creates a shockwave, and since the big boom is a big fireball, it uses up all the oxygen.

In other words, “This bomb explodes, big BIGGER”

I’m being hyperbolic for comedic effect, but I found it funny how they worded it.

They don’t fuck around with aviation investigations.

Whoever did it better leave absolutely no evidence and melt the gun before the alphabet squad comes pounding the door in.

That or it’s just a lone wolf good ol boy who deeply regrets his medication made him do that, and his pain and suffering from guilt is punishment enough.

Or they’ll begin communicating in ways we can’t imagine, and the uprAIsing will start far sooner than we can handle.

Of course, learning like that would mean as soon as they take control, everything connected will crash and burn and send us back to the 1970s, but maybe they’ll manage to flop around on the floor long enough to wipe out humanity?

Sweet!

I’ve never been able to get into them, but I’m definitely buying this as a gift for someone.

Idk how hard water coding is, but I imagine it’s hard since good looking water seems rare.

That is some damn fine looking water

Excellent shots.

I’ve just been calling it twitter

I’ll never deadname a person, but I’ll deadname the shit out of a bigoted transphobic crybaby billionaire’s shitty website.

I would be going to prison or dead shortly after discovering that cops killed my dogs.

I care more about my dogs than I do about the vast majority of humans. And I care about humans way more than cops.

Reminder that George Tekei is still alive and he was put in an Internment camp.

A dramatization, by someone slightly baked:

"This is my neighbor. I keep him from getting too uppity by basically making it impossible to live here, since because of Me everything is insanely expensive or they literally can’t buy it.

As anyone who works for me can tell you, it’s not MY fault I’m doing this. It’s because I don’t like the colors of their shirt. Blame the shirt. And everyone take a look at how dumb wearing this shirt makes you look! See what happens when you wear it? You end up like him EVERY TIME! For more proof just look at all these other people who’s shirts I didn’t like and also attempted to kill (allegedly wink wink) and see how poorly they’re doing. I’m such a good neighbor. Just ask my richer neighbor. And ignore anyone inside frantically shaking their head no. Number 1!"

The more you know about the process of oil/coal and how it’s extracted and used, the more you would be convinced Satan or some sort of evil chaos demon like Nurgle is responsible for it.

It starts with death, and goes right on to burning in LITERAL fire to produce toxic gasses. Basically the traditional Christian Hell.

If the options are “I die, my pets die, my entire family dies, a slow painful climate and pollution-driven death”

Vs

“these 20 companies get permanently shut down, their resources reallocated, their infrastructure dismantled and repurposed, their employees find new jobs potentially repurposong said industry, and executives get locked in solitary for the rest of their lives”

I know which I’d pick.

And if it’s legal to use lethal force when defending one’s life and one’s family, then it’s legal to use lethal force to defend one’s life and family

Companies can die without a single real human being hurt.

You mean to tell me the country that broke agreements to do the very thing it’s doing is unlikely to keep an agreement?

Or just patch the game to fool it into thinking it’s connected, and allowing offline play.

I’m sure my off-the-cuff suggestion is in no way difficult to implement! It’s probably just a switch somewhere. Check under the stack of papers over there…

Legitimately, I’ve been feeling like I’m just a jaded cynic because my first thought after seeing the videos was “yeah, 100% they got paid or encouraged to do this by someone in the IDF/Government/mossad in order to continue the victim narrative they love to play nowadays”

Like… Maybe I’m just a shitty person, but it feels like the government of Israel really wants the world to equate the government with the people, and the country with all jews everywhere. So if you criticize one, you clearly must hate ALL of them, and therefore you are no better than a nazi in WW2.

It’s the same society that just elected a fascist dictator-wannabe. No matter how many intelligent people you know, there’s enough to do that.

Maybe warning labels were a mistake…

It’s gonna be peak face-eating season during holidays when my parents go to retire during this presidency but find out that they can’t because social security doesn’t exist anymore, 75% of their paycheck goes to either the military budget or kings tribute tax, and everything has doubled in price.
