Yes, most major brands. They’re often used in meeting rooms, lobbies, and public places. Not to mention that you can get LED video walls.

Why does it look like the pasta sauce was added after the fact then? Like it doesn’t even look like it’s been sitrred in at all, it’s just kind of sitting there.

I don’t know why you’re saying \s to a literal fact. Yes age is a form of oxidation, yes that’s why anti-oxidants are said to prevent/slow aging.

Nah, the correct business model is to have a system that’s easy to develop for to the point that it has a large and exciting open source and homebrew community attached (which you encourage with events and competitions), and you’re just basically selling them hardware, code, merch, tutorials, assets, and getting a cut of their game sales.
…the you also release your own games, and later spin off the IPs into globally recognized characters and franchises.

They also refuse to ban violent Nazi groups.
I tell you, if one of these Nazis ends up dead or kills someone, part of the blame will be on the government.

Sounds like those stupid Rationalist cult groups who spend their time coming up with AI fantasies, and claim some thought-experiments are so powerful they’ll ruin your mind - real immature stuff. Deserves to be lampooned like this.

What the fuck are you talking about? There’s literally victim statements by multiple victims saying he raped them when they were children.
- Comment on If what they taught us about checks and balances was a lie maybe what they taught us about civil disobedience was a lie too. 3 weeks ago:
Someone has had an incentive to teach you pretty much everything you know. You hope much of it was benevolent, but maybe the teachers were taught to use benevolence that way (by pedagogical teachers before them)… Then there’s this whole thing xalled “The Hodden Curriculum” which is the accental lessons burried in the structures of lessons and systems… And then there’s Labour History, which is like this secret history of workers rights that most schools won’t teach, and it soon becomes obvious that teaching can have ideological and systemic purposes attached, and even hidden or subconscious back flows and scatter effects.
It’s all a bit much.

- Comment on ‘Star Trek: Enterprise’ Cast On How Series Was Last Hurrah For “Boys Club” TV Before Me Too Movement 3 weeks ago:
Whoa TV producers have sex brained politics and just want shows with mass appeal, you don’t say?
Doesn’t change the fact Voyager still did better on this issue.
- Comment on ‘Star Trek: Enterprise’ Cast On How Series Was Last Hurrah For “Boys Club” TV Before Me Too Movement 3 weeks ago:
Does the question: “Did you somehow forget 7 of 9?” read “let’s limit the discussion to judging the women based on costumes alone” or say “Lets judge the character’s strengths based on why TV producers had them introduced”?
No, the discussion - and even the article is about how Enterprise is claiming to be “a man’s man’s version of Star Trek” a “boy’s club” and feel lucky they got in before Me Too happened.
So reiterating “Yeah, but TV producers really wanted Jeri Ryan to look sexy” doesn’t change the topic.

It replaces the children’s intelligence, so they don’t have to think of questions or pretend like they were listening.
- Comment on ‘Star Trek: Enterprise’ Cast On How Series Was Last Hurrah For “Boys Club” TV Before Me Too Movement 3 weeks ago:
The question was did I forget about 7 of 9…
…the answer is no, and that Voyager came before Enterprise and wasn’t nearly as sexist. There’s just no two ways around that.
Voyage wins hands down, leaving Enterprise still being written about as a masculine “Boys Club” or frat house version of Star Trek.
- Comment on ‘Star Trek: Enterprise’ Cast On How Series Was Last Hurrah For “Boys Club” TV Before Me Too Movement 3 weeks ago:
Whose whole character arc is about the female trauma of losing control of ones body and having it occasionally violated?..
…with a large dose of how to connect with your mother figures, even when one is being a bit of a Borg queen?
No, I didn’t forget, and it’s great that Voyager hit some gender specific trauma stuff consistently with 7 of 9.
- Comment on ‘Star Trek: Enterprise’ Cast On How Series Was Last Hurrah For “Boys Club” TV Before Me Too Movement 3 weeks ago:
Enterprise was ridiculously “Tits out for the boys” and it was a really weird direction to go after Voyager. Like Enterprise had some dumb dumb shit, frat boy type stuff.
Characters in their underwear for quarantine, women’s shirts slipping off because they were crawling around in the vent system. Stuff that didn’t make sense and was played for Scooby Doo style laughs.
It’s all part of why it’s bad.
