The only answer I need from an AI is 42.

“Well, don’t want to sound like a dick or nothin’, but, ah… it says on your chart that you’re fucked up.”

That’s because he isn’t acting. Somewhere along the line he stopped being the actor known as Ryan Reynolds and just became the character Ryan Reynolds.

Don’t be jelly bc you can’t afford a talent agent

At this point giving them some bones might be preferable. I’m sure there have to be SOME extra bones in here somewhere.

Some plants make some bitter compounds when they go to seed so I would guess not.

I’m not even getting better frame rates but boy oh boy is the system latency lower.

Not natively Linux but it runs just fine under Proton (although maybe not the default version)

Somewhere in Chapter 2 my Windows 11 install got corrupted to the point where a recovery upgrade wouldn’t even run so I installed CachyOS. I’ve played a good 4 hours so far and if anything it’s running better under Proton. The QTEs feel snappier.

In America I think you also either literally or effectively (to compete) have to own some banks as well. I think it’s called vertical integration.

I’m more interested in these bail peprs, I wonder what the conversion rate is?

Manjaro was my first Arch distro and I enjoyed it until I found out about the issues with packages always being out of date. Switched over to EndeavourOS and have been loving it so far. It’s been “just working” for like two years now and even my 70 year old parents don’t notice a difference from Windoze when they borrow my laptop. In fact my dad is using it to do some Quicken work today (which was an adventure to get working. WineHQ community was super helpful though)

I WAS going to follow-up my “it’s always sunny in philadelphia” quote but I got completely distracted by TWENTY-EIGHT CENT EGGS. I can literally buy eggs from the source (there’s a farm nearby that “donates” a portion of their income directly to the chickens and puts it into quality of life upgrades for them) and it still costs me $4.50-5.00 a dozen depending on weight.

can i offer trade you a nice egg in this trying time?

9/11 listed separately from historical tragedies =|

The article mischaracterized the petition. If you read the change.org petition it’s about protesting Visa, Mastercard, and moral advocacy groups. The petition even goes as far as to point out the hypocrisy of the decision.

These same payment processors allowed platforms like OnlyFans to operate with minimal oversight, despite multiple credible reports and lawsuits alleging the presence of real sexual abuse content involving real-life minors. That is a criminal failure of responsibility. Yet, when it comes to entirely fictional depictions, these same companies act swiftly — shutting down creators, restricting access, and acting as global censors.

I wish I had a technical solution but I really don’t. As much as I can’t stand cryptocurrency in the way that it’s being implemented, this is the kind of problem blockchain technology could potentially eliminate. I think the bigger problem is social - people trust credit card companies because of things like charge backs and fraud protection. Shopping in a store is one thing but when you’re buying from a faceless digital store front people seem to want a third-party to secure things and protect their money.

I think people are mostly upset about some bank telling them how they are allowed to spend their money (by restricting what is available for sale). What if those big banks decide that, say, R-rated movies are too much of a liability for them and demand retailers stop carrying them? I’m not sure what an alternative would be, but allowing a bank to decide what you can spend your money on is a bad precedent given that everyone is basically required to have a bank account these days.

To be clear, I’m talking primarily about Visa and Mastercard, the payment processors, not Valve. Those two companies have a pretty big stranglehold on the payment processing industry outside of possibly east Asia? I heard japan has their own payment processor, I assume it isn’t limited to just Japan.

It’s about the danger posed by a monolithic government or corporation deciding what things get to be traded and sold. Like a fucked up capitalist version of that poem “First They Came”.

Haha, yeah, asparagus is hard to get rid of. It forms these mats of roots like 8 inches down that hollow out during the fall/winter and then new roots shoot back out through the tubes. That said… I’ve never had store bought asparagus that was JUICY. I usually pluck them as as snack to eat while I’m weeding or whatever, they’re perfectly tasty raw.
