your bowel is wider than your asshole
imagining a nurse using the word “asshole” to explain it to a regular person is just hilarious to me.

Just a thought, I may be way off because admittedly I don’t know a lot about how it works - wouldn’t Ukraine have legitimately registered their SL gear? If it’s not registered by Ukraine and it’s in Ukraine, can’t they kill the uplink?

I think it’s got about 3-4 billion years left in the tank, if I remember reading correctly. It won’t be humanity’s problem.

There’s a transaction cost to processing the sale, hosting the giant download and then issuing the refund. If people organized and manipulated the system and this became a financial burden, then the policy would almost certainly change.

About it being completely arbitrary and anti-consumer? It 100% is.

Sony has a horrific track record of data breaches. They’re collecting and selling data about you for profit. I place that bar higher than this.
For my own personal amusement, what else would they have to do to meet the level your personal anti-consumer bar is set at?

This is actually a fantastic idea. How long will it take Valve to threaten account bans for doing it?

I scrolled down specifically looking for a KSP comment, thank you.

Even if GM did actually sell something I’d want to drive, not having CarPlay would be an instant dealbreaker.

“The government made 25% of my district unemployed, why didn’t I get reelected?”
Ask it from that side and you have your answer.

Absolutely!
- Comment on [Satire] Australia loses ‘Shortest Time to 5 PMs Ashes’ 4 months ago:
Yes, they count. Don’t add qualifiers to try and correct a factually incorrect statement.
- Comment on [Satire] Australia loses ‘Shortest Time to 5 PMs Ashes’ 4 months ago:
This is not a factual statement. From March 4th 1849 to March 4th 1853, we had 4 different presidents.

M365 is a cloud license. They can be killed in moments.

Because we have half the country who can’t stand the idea of being educated.
- Comment on Microsoft Copilot has been banned for use by US House staff members, at least for now 7 months ago:
I’m not an admin, but I do provision ms cloud licensing and have run across this question more than a few times. At the enterprise level, I’m told the copilot data is “walled off” and secure, and not harvested by MS. I have nothing to back that up, but that’s what I’m told. I’m certain if it weren’t true, I would have heard about it by now.
- Comment on World’s population to fall for first time since the Black Death 7 months ago:
My grandparents came over after world war 2, with my grandfather barely speaking any English. He got a job as a busboy and could afford to rent a house and have my grandma raise my mom and uncle (and my aunt, later) while he worked.
10 years or so ago, he lamented how nobody was having kids like they used to. I asked him to repeat his situation when he got here, then explained to him that my wife and I barely have enough to pay our mortgage and have some fun while we both work full time, with no kids.
We’re actually doing fine financially now, but the window for kids passed. Even if it were still a possibility, I’m not sure I even would. Just so I can raise some wage slaves to keep this klepto-plutocracy alive and well? Nah, fuck that.
- Comment on 2 way communication is key 1 year ago:
Well, my wife has to be willing to admit when she’s wrong. Fortunately for me, I’m never wrong. I thought I was wrong once, but it turns out I was mistaken.
- Comment on 2 way communication is key 1 year ago:
I’ve been with my wife for 18 years, and this is 100% correct. Disagreements are always going to happen, you just have to talk your way through them and be willing to admit when you’re wrong.
