Yes. DP is the right choice for civilized people.

“A few turns away” until suddenly the meme of the kid riding a bike shoving a stick in his own spokes.

Well I guess this game is going to be keeping me up all night after all.

I thought ICE was already doing that.

The government of the people has become the government against the people for the corporations.

Too late I already starved to death long ago. I am just a ghost in the machine, still screaming at the injustice of the world.

The most intriguing part of this analysis is where WinDirect is used to shut down Windows 95’s GDI and then proceeds to reprogram the video card to take over full control of the display. Ballsy, and as close as you’re likely to get to a programming equivalent of “hold my beer”. Things were wild back in those days, man.

… and it still pretty much just works, even on Windows 11.

Make Apathetic Gretzky American.

I think Walter would be ashamed, I knew him personally from his charity work and he was a good man, a true Canadian and pretty opinionated in his own quiet way. I’m glad he didn’t live to see his son involved in and downplaying this shit. I can’t imagine how he would’ve felt good about it. Money and celebrity (and as someone else suggested, maybe CTE too) corrupts some people. It seems Wayne is one of those.

Elbows up, our defense doesn’t care whether he’s a star player or not.

Or just be cautious, thoughtful and sensible if you do. Only a Sith deals in absolutes.

I wish AI had a physical face so I could punch it.

They can try. Bans require enforcement, and they catch a few of us weirdos from time to time, but the hydra always grows more heads.

Sure, but a name is just a name, they still work just fine even when they only reflect their origins and don’t reflect the current reality anymore. NATO’s already got a handful of members that are a stretch to consider under anything but the broadest definition of “North Atlantic”. Tim Horton’s used to be about a hockey player, now it’s just, passable coffee and shitty food. Sometimes they don’t even reflect the origins either. The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea hasn’t ever been very Democratic, has it?

Even if they really are attached to the limitations self-imposed by the name, I feel like they need to consider whether Europe is strictly just a place or can it also be a state of mind? Alternately, we can just surrender to Denmark and become a territorial extension of Greenland (which isn’t even green!). It’s fine either way.

I promise I’m only being like 65% tongue-in-cheek.

The dark web became known as the hideout of internet criminals. Once we’re all internet criminals, it will just be the hideout of everyone. Time to drop all these commercial services that we’ve let take over the internet and go back to being anonymous weirdos talking to other anonymous weirdos on websites run by anonymous weirdos. The web was ironically a nicer place. Also a shittier place, but at the same time a nicer place. This is why we can’t have nice things.

Perhaps I was laying it on a little thick for you, but sometimes you’ve really got to sledgehammer the point home, to ensure the people in the back can hear. My point has been made, nobody is obligated to take it personally, you are welcome to ignore it or do with it whatever you please. That said, if your instinct is to take it as a personal attack directed at you, maybe the point actually is directed at you after all. I tend to trust people’s own judgements on this.

Only buying things that are the lowest price has many consequences and not all of them are beneficial to you. Sometimes it’s just that the thing you are buying for the lowest price is crappy and poor quality. But now we are coming to realize that one of those consequences might be the destruction of the world. Figure out how to price that consequence into your economic model, and choose accordingly.

Apparently not destroying the world is more valuable to some people than others. Personally, I would pay at least 1000% more to not destroy the world, because not destroying the world is really important to me. Maybe it’s not as important to other people, I don’t know. The wonderful thing about the world we are destroying is that everyone gets to make their own decisions.

That is some very black or white, us or them, red team vs blue team thinking. It’s very interesting that you immediately jump to that conclusion when I am not even from the US at all. The answer to your question is absolutely not, and the fact that it’s a “world economy” doesn’t and shouldn’t mean any people are obligated to do business with and accept the controlling interest of literal monsters fueled by oil and oil money. Ethics must also be allowed to control the economy, not just money. The world’s financial systems have consequences beyond just the economy.

It’s definitely not new, but it’s time to start thinking about how strange it is, and start pulling these assholes off their money-merry-go-round.

Put a large, visible placard on them with the officer’s name, face, home address and badge number. You know, sort of like an ID.

That’s an easy problem to solve, let Canada join the EU too, then your money will still be spent in the EU.

They’re living the American dream!
