- Comment on Gambonanza is the best Balatro-like version of chess yet and you have to try the demo 4 days ago:
Basic card or board game turned into a rogue-lite with the addition of collectible run modifiers, like the jokers in Balatro.
It’s not a difficult concept.

Most schools have one or two cops on duty during the day these days. I live in suburban nowhere, and even our schools have them.

The lesson isn’t “punch Nazis because mah emotions”, and the fact that that’s what you take away from it says more about your outlook than any of theirs.
The lesson is that direct action against racism and fascism is immediately necessary every time, lest we end up in the flaming dumpster fire that we’re currently in, and if that direct action involves negative reinforcement for a racist piece of shit, then it’s a lesson sorely needed that their parents should have taught them long before situation like this.
You’d better believe every child in my extended family is being educated on the paradox of tolerance as soon as they’re able to grasp it.

You don’t even have to be that patient these days. I got Arc Raiders 3 weeks after release for 60% off, it was like $18.

All the more reason to teach them fully the first time that fascism is not okay.
Negative reinforcement works great for that, especially for brains that are still developing.
You know what doesn’t help with problem behaviors in children?
Ignoring them and hoping they’ll go away.
- Comment on "I am going to punch you" WHAT A BOSS! 2 weeks ago:
Ignoring them is the best way to shut them down.
How’s that been working for the US government so far? We ignored them right into the highest office in the nation.

Kinda? I’d almost describe it as halfway between stinky feet and the smell that stink bugs give off.
- Comment on Genes be crazy 3 weeks ago:
Depends. With North American formica ants, it’s formic acid, but with Canadian odorous house ants, it’s a methyl ketone that smells a lot like blue cheese.

I think the true secret is that a part of those of us that get out stay connected to the reactor and power it with small bits of happiness over the life of the boat.
Every time you’re stuck sitting at a table with a bunch of people who have barely started eating while you’re done already, or wake up in the middle of the night thinking there’s a fire because your AC shut off, the reactor gets a .0001% boost in efficiency.

Obviously your mileage may vary based on where you’re located, but look into makerspaces in your area. There’s one about 20 min from me with a fully equipped wood and metal shops, CNCs, pottery wheels and kiln, electronics benches, etc etc etc, as well as like, 4 others within an hour drive. A ton have workshops / knowledgeable staff on hand.

Didn’t we just see articles last week that Meta is drastically downsizing their VR r+d to focus on AI? That alone will mean that they spend less money next year on VR.

It does not.

Anything that transmits a signal can be found, just get that out of the way immediately. The only way to be 100% untraceable is to never transmit.
Mesh networks, however, are pretty safe. Triangulation the origin of a mesh transmission will just lead to the repeater node which, admittedly is a pain in the dick if they kill the repeater and the network goes dark, but it doesn’t lead directly back to a person, just a box they stuck on a cell tower or up on a hill somewhere.

I think this might be the most insulting trend in current advertising. You’re not fooling anyone. Just stop.

I don’t know about now, but when my parents were in school it was definitely very common. There is still no law against corporal punishment in private schools in the US, and only 33 out of 50 states have laws against it in their public schools.

Whine harder, techboy.
He sees his future financial ruin rushing towards him like a freight train, and he’s starting to panic.
When CEOs beg you to be nicer to their products, you know they’re in trouble.

- Comment on The "man vs bear" "debate" is a no-win scenario 1 month ago:
Not your best work. Poorly written and confusing, and you keep referencing the question without actually including it in the post, so that the whole thing has to be inferred by reading your stream-of-consciousness mind vomit.
You can’t successfully troll people if they’re just wondering what the hell you’re talking about, my guy.
Please, do better. Not for us, for you. We believe in you.

Had my head and face shaved in Toulons when the submarine I was on pulled in there.
I don’t remember my barber looking anything like this, though.
Did I get ripped off?
