- Comment on Why didn't he just call on his powers to stop the bullet? 3 days ago:
Funnily, I heard he was wearing a bulletproof vest and the bullet ricocheted up into his neck. If that’s true, his clothing did in fact get him killed.

Hmmm, yes, interesting. Regardless of what was said in the rest of the post, I agree with the part I understood.

To go on a complete tangent here, chameleons also can’t blink and I found a dissertation-level website only about how they can’t blink and what the consequences of that are: reptilefriend.com/do-chameleons-blink/
But I initially thought that they can habe their eyes blink independantly, which brings me to my next point: In the anime My Hero Academia, one of the heroes, Erazure Head, has the ability to block someone’s ability as long as he is looking at them, with the drawback that the effect ends when he blinks,which fucks up his eyes, because he blinks so little. And every time I see him, I just think to myself, if only that mf had learned to blink independantly with his eyes, which I am sure you can train if you want to, he could’ve completely negated the drawback of his ability.
Then again, MHA is full of this sittle oversights, which definitely lessen my enjoyment of that anime. Take the heroine Alien Queen for example. She can spray acid from her hands, an ability she doesn’t do very much with, which is why she is one of the less important heroes. She could however have trained to “sweat” acid to surround her body with an acid shield and if she had learned to spray her acid as a fine mist that the air can carry into your lungs, she could’ve become a walking violation of the geneva conventions. Missed opportunity to have villains simy choke to death.

Guns don’t create a more polite society, they create a more fearful society.

If you only ever had white bread to eat, try other sorts of bread.
In terms of culture, as a German it seems German culture is similar to American culture, just less extreme. Also less small talk with strangers, if that is indeed a thing in America.
- Comment on [VIDEO] Japan Sanctions Visa after the Censorship of Anime and Manga 1 month ago:
The video makes mention of a change.org petition calling on Visa, Mastercard and the like to ignore that sect trying to create moral outrage. I know Change.org petitions are pretty worthless, but this one already has over 100k signatures: change.org/…/tell-mastercard-visa-activist-groups…
- Comment on Why democrats under Biden administration didn't release Epstein files? 1 month ago:
The give reason must be procedual, but the real reason is that the Epstein files undoubtedly also contain the names of democrats or democratic backers. They were more than happy doing nothing with those files.
- Comment on Paying the Subnautica 2 team their promised bonus would be "embarrassing", Krafton's CEO allegedly told the game's chief over lunch 1 month ago:
To give you some background, this bonus would only be gained if Unknown Worlds hit certain targets by the end of 2025. Most of it would have been paid to the three men, with 10% set aside for 40 other employees at the studio.
So the “team” would get the bonus they say? Both parties can fuck off in my opinion.

- Comment on Lime bikes dumped in canals and rivers 'posing pollution risk' 2 months ago:
Sure, if you live in a shithole country like the US or a wanna-be-shithile country like the UK, companies can just trample you privacy. But in the EU, privacy is protected and you can easily introduce legislation that any non-government surveillance needs to be set up in a way that makes automatic permanent surveillance impossible.

The modern bikes need an account with valid fiscal info to unlock. There is no way to “not pay”.

You only need to save the recording when the bike’s accelerometer detects the bike being thrown.

That will happen to most “artforms” or jobs that require research. I notice that on myself as well. I now ask an AI for regex stringsor when I want to implement a function I’m unsure about, I ask an AI to see what they are doing first. Critical thinking is still involved, but less than it used to.
- Comment on 70% of games that require internet get destroyed 3 months ago:
Two more months to go and more than 50% left to reach 1 million signatures. It’s sad to see that with how many people game, this petition has so little reach. I guess we’ll have to wait till Fortnite is shut down, then suddenly many more will care that their childhood game is gone forever.

- Comment on Almost 19% of Japanese people in their 20s have spent so much money on gacha they struggled with covering living expenses, survey reveals - AUTOMATON WEST 4 months ago:
This is exactly the reason why I won’t play gacha games. First everyone complains about loot boxes and microtransactions and then a game-genre where that’s the core of the game takes off.
Just goes to show that the people that (rightly) complain about microtransactions cheapening gaming experiences were always in the minority and most will just keep spending like headless chickens.
Most people I know aren’t or don’t see themselves as gambling addicts. They’re “proud” about how much they spent.

The bill also places a new environmental impact review by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and established an annual environmental impact fee for permit holders.
I bet they felt really petty writing that into the bill.

I hope they succeed. While a normal user might not need more than Thunderbird currently provides, organizations are mkre or less bound to solutions like M365 for their versatility.

It absolutely is malware. The Text you see is a comment appended to the end of a command that’ll download malicious software. The comment is placed in such a way that the command is out of frame.
