Did anyone find it suspicious that the FBI didn’t identify and publish a direct motive? Do you think the reason for his nutjob behavior was somehow covered up by the FBI because of the administration?

Yeah I think no one stops to ask who those silicon valley jerks sell our data to. The answer is anyone. Including big brother who otherwise cannot legally collect it - but it’s legal now because a company did it and we bought it!

It’s not an apples to apples comparison. This was a reddit post made by someone who went out of their way to buy things for different amounts to make ragebait.

It’s a dumb post and it is safe to ignore it. Sadly someone reposted it here.

Welp… guess I’m moving to the great lakes.

Minecraft is deceptively hard on cpu and gpus for what the game appears to be. It looks simple, but that simplicity comes at the cost of very high computational loads due to how dynamic and interactive everything is. They add in new features pretty frequently for a game I bought 12 years ago. Those features aren’t free and they stress the system even more. Be happy it is playable at all on a phone - it’s nice that they added in tuning parameters to let your phone be capable of playing it instead of saying you need the newest RTX4090 just to get 30fps

It ran while simulating a distance of one chunk at a time. Computers could simulate much more because the game was written to let software define just how far from the user to render. Phones rendered hardly anything which let them at least play the game.

It just has an absolute ton of calculations to perform on hardware that is not made for it.

God damnit they’re going to start making tiktoks into gift cards or some shit.

I buy the bulk pack of general purpose gift cards. Some have got flowers on the front. Others say Happy Birthday in gender neutral styling. They’re all blank on the inside. I write messages to people. The pack of 20 cards costs about the same as two of those shitty pre-written gift cards.

Five guys will let you fuck your burger

This echos my last five guys in restaurant people watching experience.

Plenty of systems require operation to know if they are functional or not. So it’s pretty easy to think of ways that the aircraft can indicate a malfunction when it’s first leaving the gate with passengers aboard.

That doesn’t mean it is any less shitty.

Both are bad. One is objectively more bad.

He has so many sympathetic fascist-state wannabes in positions to affect his crimes being brought to trial that it is just incredibly difficult to do. It took individual states to act like NY and GA and then a special federal prosecutor Jack Smith to actually bring meaningful charges against him. In NY, it was delayed because the AG at the time was in his pocket and had been for decades. The GA prosecution was delayed because the AG was busy going after sycophants he used as tools so as to use their convictions to bolster his case. Jack Smith only got appointed in 2023 and he’s been working his ass off on multiple cases simultaneously.

So yeah it takes time. I’m frustrated too. It would’ve been great if all of this had played out the minute Biden got into office but that just wasn’t up to him - the processes had to play out on their own. Otherwise we’d create a politicized justice system (well, more than it already is) with a fucking gestapo going after political opponents. That’s just part of the price we have to pay for keeping an semi-blind justice system.

JFC more of this? I really wish the FCC had the teeth to prevent this shit.

I overheard a FOX broadcast last night while waiting for a pizza pickup in their lobby.

Holy crap that is awful. I remember it back in the GWB days and I don’t recall it being nearly as bad as it was last night.

“Democrats don’t want to understand you. They just want power.” followed by cherrypicked video footage of out of context comments from some random person. “If the Democrats get in charge, they will outlaw jesus!” followed by more bad faith video footage where someone said Christianity doesn’t belong in a courtroom setting.

It’s like they have distilled down the essence of making your grandma scared and forcing her to vote or else her grand babies will literally get eaten alive because they weren’t aborted.

But what if Dana Loesch has a dick?

That’s why I said go to a wealth management firm. Even relatively small firms routinely handle hundreds of millions.

It’s not so hard to put it in the bank and hire a wealth management firm. They’ll take care of you and tell you how much you can spend each year without losing money. It’d turn into a free $500k salary for life.

Nah you gotta skip the stupid opening plot

Bankruptcy debt settlement are usually for a fraction of the stated amount. I’ve heard of families who have discharged over 100k of cc debt and only had to pay about 10k. Usually you will lose bigger assets like vehicles, but keep your home.
