Alternatively, “Hi, I’m with the fire department and I would like to buy your on-fire house. Take this deal now, because the price is only going down!” But yeah, they probably said fuck this specific fire brigade two thousand years ago lol

I get the blue and green ones (police and military), the red ones are for firefighters, right? To steal a phrase, nobody ever said fuck the fire department.
Could be, we know from 7 that they’re bespoke for every match for catch dispute reasons, the artisans could probably tweak them to match a school league. That said, I don’t believe Rowling put this much thought into it.
And there was a point in… 3, I think, where Harry was instructed to delay catching the snitch until they were at least 50 points up because they wouldn’t have enough league points or something to progress if he didn’t.
Her Color 2 for that outfit is trans flag colors. Idk if it was confirmed that she’s trans, but if she is, she’s not the first trans character in Street Fighter.
And also Ubisoft isn’t American, they’re a French company. So instead of Guile we should have Manon.
I believe they are canonically ten years old, yes. We were in college when he said that. I don’t know how deep this goes, I stopped talking to him soon after.
One of the weirdest people I ever knew said that exact thing about why he played a girl in Pokémon games. That dude was incredibly sus.
No, see, the spoiler effect, a well-documented phenomenon, isn’t real and is just a lie to keep people from voting for third parties, who are super for real going to affect anything positively this time! It’s your fault for not abandoning the only party with a chance to win against the fascist party in favor of checks notes Cornel West, a candidate so unserious he declared his party affiliation with the People’s Party (a bunch of definitely not grifters featuring such intellectual titans as Jimmy Dore and Jesse “the Body/Mind” Ventura) only to immediately switch to the Green Party, only to immediately switch to Independent. Math isn’t real and I’m very smart.
No, see, passively continuing policy while trying to rachet it back when you realize how unpopular something is with your base is exactly the same as active hostility and escalation, fully justifying my refusal to participate in the system. I’m very smart.
That wasn’t Shruiken, that was, like, a shadow dragon he summoned with his shadow power or something. Created for the movie so they could have a more exciting climax than a one on one sword duel ended by an elf magically shattering a ruby as large as a house directly over said duel before diving into it on the back of a pissed off dragon, providing the distraction needed for the hopelessly outmatched hero to stab the unholy abomination through the heart. That might sound awesome to you, because it is. Shruikan was the post credits reveal.
Reprinting some things, neglecting to reprint others, power creeping the stuff they did reprint out of the game, banning some stuff that was too powerful while printing other stuff that’s just as good for the same reasons. You know, standard card game stuff.
An AI (in its current form) isn’t a person drawing inspiration from the world around it, it’s a program made by people with inputs chosen by those people. If those people didn’t ask permission to use other people’s licensed work for their product, then they are plagiarising that work, and they should be subject to the same penalties that, for example, a game company using stolen art in their game should face. An AI doesn’t become inspired, it copies existing things to predict what it thinks its user wants to see. If we produce a real thinking AI at some point in the future, one with self determination and whatnot, the story will be different, but for now it isn’t.
I work in IT, and every time I do an install (sometimes new computers, sometimes not) for someone I see Microsoft’s little News widget they put on the Taskbar, the one that pops up a huge window if you mouse over it. Every time I see that, I ask the person if they ever use it, and they always say no. Then I ask them if they want it gone, and they always say yes, usually with some kind of relief. It’s a matter of two clicks to do it, easier than going into the settings menu like your screenshot, but every computer I haven’t been on previously has it. Now, I’d wonder why Microsoft would put something on the Taskbar that is, in my experience, universally disliked. To me it reeks of the pathetic, groveling, “I’ll suck your dick” energy they have when someone installs Chrome.
Windows 10 changed a lot over the course of its lifetime, and while some feature are good, like Dark Mode, they’re mostly useless or downright bad. So putting something that most people will never use and will greatly confuse and annoy the average user in a place that has been dedicated to a single function for at the very least Windows 10’s entire lifetime (I think it’s there in 8 and maybe 7 also) for seemingly no reason other than to fuck with people’s muscle memory is just one more move very worthy of griping about, no matter how easy it is for users to turn off. Because 99% of users just won’t, because they aren’t confident enough to go futzing around in the settings. But they’ll still get whatever god awful popup this button shows every time they try to show desktop like they’ve been doing for over a decade. It’s yet another change that nobody asked for, nobody will use, and that the user will have to remember that it’s different now for no reason.
I think they’re saying that the previous person, who quoted the enemy is both strong and weak thing about media reporting on Trump’s polling, was not pointing it at the correct people, because a dispirate group of journalists/pollsters are portraying Trump as both strong and weak. Confused articles disagreeing with each other on the rocking boat that is polls a full year out does not a fascism make, is the point.
No, it was him watching Moscow hookers pissing on a bed in the presidential suite of a hotel, with a previous resident of that room being Obama. It’s been a while since I thought about the piss tape.
Really makes me think they need a union. Also makes me wonder what all Linus learned from this guy who “taught me everything about management” if this is his style of management.
Maybe they don’t want those divots in the side of their nose? But it might be more in line with being nervous about Lasik or something, which I get because I haven’t gotten it because 1) I don’t have the money and 2) my understanding is that they cut into your eye so a flap of it is just there. If someone were to punch me in the face after, it might be easier to pop my eye! I haven’t looked much deeper into it, but that’s my, maybe irrational, fear. Apparently the better surgery to get is one where they grind down your eyes to have better lenses, but that seems like a huge thing also, probably more expensive, and it would take a long time healing from it while essentially being blind.
