It doesn't pacify the right, nothing will pacify the right, and nobody actually gives a shit about a non-issue. If you don't have the balls to stand up and say, "Hey these pedophile fascists are bitching about the WNBA despite there being no trans women in it, it's a scam" you're a loser.

What a guy
4 panel comic

Panel 1: a wizard in blue robe and white beard sitting with small forg at a desk behind the computer. “Click, click” is the sound of the mouse to be heard
Panel 2: close up on the computer screen. There’s a green check mark and a full loading bar on it. From off screen someone, probably the wizard, says “boom, there it is”.
Panel 3: forg is left behind alone at his desk. There’s an open door in the background. Forg says “thanks installation wizard” and a little pink heart appears, showing his affection.
Panel 4: we see now that the wizard has already left the house after a job well done. He replies to forg watching him go from his window: “it’s what I do”

i guess people draw the line at "smaller fish" to stay sane, and each line is different. Though he seems huge in his niche so maybe I'm wrong.

agree. tho: every other corp is worth boycotting, i can at least see it becoming impractical at some point. i avoid supporting media/products like FNAF that i know are harmful. Seeing election results means theres many more... MS, FB, Musk, EA, Amazon, Ubi, Nestlé, half of USA, it doesn't end.

there is a feature to add different audio tracks to choose from, not only AI dub but also selfmade alternate audio tracks. So i assume they still make those themselves with humans (havent bothered checking though)

gameplay im 2008er war schon ein echter schritt zurück imo, liebe darin aber die Atmosphäre, die Welt und die Dynamik zwischen Elika und Prinz. Mehr Spiele sollten eine "stehenbleiben und einfach labern"-Taste haben. Mag die Spiele aber alle noch heute sehr. Gameplay in WW ist am besten.

Definitely yes, though idk how much. Most goes to music labels. I think I remember some creators saying over the years that premium views were paying the creators more than "standard" views with ads, though it also depends on watchtime more than anything. Just second hand knowledge though.

anyway, go to your library--they probably have games, and like actual good ones too. I was surprised to see they had some really solid indie games like Neva.

Pixel art of a strange icy path filled with electric currents, winding above the storm clouds below. The path is very smooth and flat, with a sheen across the top, and sheer sides dripping down to the storm below.

R. H. Bing (October 20, 1914 – April 28, 1986)[1] was an American mathematician who worked mainly in the areas of geometric topology and continuum theory.Bing's father was named Rupert Henry, but Bing's mother thought that "Rupert Henry" was too British for Texas. Thus she compromised by abbreviating it to R. H.[5] Consequently, R. H. does not stand for a first or middle name.

When Bing was applying for a visa, he was requested not to use initials. He explained that his name was really "R-only H-only Bing", and ended up receiving a visa made out to "Ronly Honly Bing".

Anleitung: 1. In die USA schauen. 2. Verzweifeln. 3. Sich erinnern, dass man selbst (hoffentlich) nicht in den USA lebt. 4. Auf die deutsche Politik schauen. 5. Alles dafür tun, dass es hier nicht so weit kommt wie in den USA. Und das mindestens täglich.

my previous phone stopped being able to play any audio whatsoever - neither speaker nor headphones, the apps just froze. EXCEPT, as I found out, when i pressed really hard against its rear side =) (That worked for a few weeks and then it was really time for a new phone lol)

- if payment processors' current policies had always existed, huge swaths of culture, from the prestigious to the pulpy, simply wouldn't exist. Today's disturbing indie work might be tomorrow's essential text. And even if it isn't, the freedom to create and access challenging content is valuable.

days of the week are always capitalized in english (if correct spelling is used, though obviously thats often ignored in social media). Same as names of months, or names of languages. They count as proper nouns i guess
