Poor guy. It’s the ultimate betrayal.


The rest of the conversation, though, was about a (mostly) exclusively American thing, relating to lobbying and legislation against Wikipedia and IA. I’ve got no problem with shitting on the US for things we’re actually doing, but saying the public doesn’t support Wikipedia when we’re actually the #1 supporter worldwide of Wikipedia feels kind of disingenuous.


sane Americans largely take Wikipedia for granted
North America is Wikipedia’s largest funding source by a factor of more than 2. I’m not sure why you’re calling Americans out here.
Are you supposing that IA is better known in other countries than in the US? Are you basing that on anything?


Watership Down… The old one, not the newer remake. Just so much fucked up imagery and awful themes in that. Legitimately gave me nightmares as a kid.
Not really a kid’s movie, but I remember seeing Darkman on TV when I was pretty young and having the image of his horribly burned, disfigured face burned into my memory.


I wonder how many of those 1999 registered voters would be disenfranchised if this came into effect, but don’t realize it because they didn’t read what ‘documented proof of citizenship’ actually entails…
Seems perfectly reasonable. How better to get close to people - looking like you’re cosplaying an assassin, or looking like someone the mark would want to get close to?
Didn’t even try to mask the AI in that image, huh?


On Friday, government lawyers in the lawsuit filed a court record which said they asked the plaintiffs to remove the videos “from the internet due to concerns that the publication of the videos could subject the witnesses and their family members to undue harassment and reputational harm.” The filing then said that Fox specifically “has been subject to harassment and has received a number of death threats since the videos and video clips were publicized and circulated.”
They caused an untold number of actual, real-world deaths through their actions, but we can’t let them get harassed for it!
Boo fucking hoo.


Chair legs, table legs and shorts are dead giveaways.
how the fuck was I supposed to search for it?
Whatever you do, DON’T.


No, I’m aiming to remove the objection. This seems like the easiest way to accomplish that.


I support giving everyone extra days off ‘just because’, actually, but that’s beside the point. The problem as stated in the article was that employers perceive disproportionate days off as a reason to not hire women; the obvious solution is to just remove that from the equation. I wasn’t aware that giving men days off somehow harms women, but apparently I just don’t understand.


Sounds easily solvable by just giving everyone those mandatory days off regardless of gender… Then there’s no employer preference towards men, and no perceived hardships created.
“What’s the charge? Eating a child? A succulent human child?”


Well, this is a fresh kind of hell…
Not the same character at all. The game starts with you playing as his actual daughter at the very start of the zombie crisis. She dies in the first 10 minutes of the game, then the game time-skips to the point where the rest of the game takes place. It sets up the reason Joel develops a connection with Ellie in the first place.


It’s much more important than the ‘Obama wears brown suit’ thing. Firstly, because it’s incredibly disrespectful to dead soldiers, but secondly, and arguably more importantly, because if he wants to drive a wedge between himself and the military, we want to let him. We want them all to know - to be unable to ignore! - just how little respect he has for them.
Yes, though it might be inconvenient for some apps or workflows. If you can use CLI it’ll go a lot more smoothly than trying to use a mouse-driven interface with a keyboard only, but you can do that, too, if it comes down to it.
You can get a cheap mouse or trackball for under $10, though, if you don’t want to deal with the hassle.
