It’s amazing how giving every family some no strings attached cash and making every school give out free food effected the child poverty rate, almost like we could lower it and keep it low but our leadership chooses not to.

It also had the “other OS” feature! It’s strange that the PS3 remains the only big console to have that feature, given how difficult its architecture is to work with. The modern consoles are all much closer to just being prebuilt PCs and none of them have it.

I think I wrapped my books exactly one year, and after that never bothered. Never did it in duraseal though, I used brown paper bags and scotch tape.

The hat looks like it’s resting on top of his head, not actually pulled down around his head.

If I ever get back into 40K I am 100% buying a 3D printer and making my own minis / sprues.

My dog wants to know your location.

There’s some real doublethink going on in the heads of some American libs where they can recognize that the post-9/11 jingoism was really bad but also they are capable to going straight back to that emotional place at the drop of a hat.

I’ve heard of it. IIRC it didn’t matter what a person’s beliefs about racism were, they had the reaction anyway, it was just that deeply ingrained by society’s latent white supremacy.

I think the instant downvotes specifically are a result of botting. Power accounts pump their own posts in part by depressing everyone else’s.

There are concerns over what would happen should these weapons fall into the hands of white-wing Christianist groups.

heh

It’s a failure of our schools IMO. They make it into this dire thing that sucks when it should be more natural, like “you’re an adult now it’s time to eat salad and write in cursive”.

trying to justify it with writing speed or whatever is just some bazinga brained bullshit

I specifically switched to writing in cursive because I had a job where I had to take a lot of notes and using a keyboard wasn’t an option. It let me write faster and it stopped me from getting hand cramps.

If you think about it from an evolutionary standpoint it’s perfectly logical.

This hasn’t actually been borne out in science. As a general rule, less complex human societies tended to be more willing to cooperate with outsiders. They shared hunting grounds, traded clan members, came together for more complex endeavors, and so on. It isn’t until the advent of agriculture, when people became attached to plots of land and felt the need to defend them from others, that we see these default attitudes start to shift - and racism as we understand it today is a thoroughly modern phenomenon, with no antecedent prior to the 17th century.

I’m in favor of anything that might bring down the tension a bit, though I don’t think this will put the brakes on the trade war.

Better late than never I suppose, but If the Dems were serious about passing their agenda and protecting it, this would have been on the table as soon as Biden was elected, so I don’t expect this to go anywhere.

Rest in Peace, hopefully we don’t see a movie marketed with an AI copy of his voice.

I’ve seen a bunch of articles about it this past week. With Biden there were a lot of prominent liberal voices calling for him to step down, not to mention the absolute lack of enthusiasm within the rank and file that was showing in polls - with Trump the party’s rank and file are on his side no matter what, so if a prominent conservative calls for him to step down they will be ostracized for it.

Right. I was saying that Hexbear isn’t a cult on the same level as the named examples, that it’s just some people with a different view of global politics than the norm, in response to a commenter who insisted that they were a dangerous cult that should be stamped out.
