ragnese.bsky.social @ragnese.bsky.social · 08/10/2026To be fair, every time the media mentions Yarvin, a bunch of people get angry that they are platforming him and (hopefully) inadvertently spreading his ideas. I'm honestly torn about it, myself... 010
ragnese.bsky.social @ragnese.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Nothing is going to happen to Trump or anyone else in this admin. I'd bet an obscene amount of money on it (though never on these degenerate betting sites...). 000
ragnese.bsky.social @ragnese.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I *really* hate to defend that piece of shit, but if you actually listen to him, he's talking about oil prices being high and how that's a small price to prevent Iran making nukes. He says "let them bomb LA" as in: "would you rather that than high oil?!" I expect hate for this, but it's true. 100
ragnese.bsky.social @ragnese.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Off topic, but I just got back into MTG and I don't think I'll EVER remember which is which between "vintage" and "legacy". Not very distinct names at all. Not that "Type 1" and "Type 1.5" were that much better, but those clicked for me. 150
ragnese.bsky.social @ragnese.bsky.social · 05/10/2026It wouldn't require imagination to believe it if there were any evidence 110
ragnese.bsky.social @ragnese.bsky.social · 05/10/2026No he didn't. And all Elon said was that Trump wouldn't have won without him. Also, you trust Russia now? 300
ragnese.bsky.social @ragnese.bsky.social · 05/10/2026No it isn't. Don't lie or repeat things that are so very easy to verify/debunk. 000
ragnese.bsky.social @ragnese.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I was SO disappointed to hear that nonsense. Especially after "we" mocked the 2020 denier morons for THEIR lack of evidence and logic. 110
ragnese.bsky.social @ragnese.bsky.social · 05/10/2026You don't have to "do" Truth Social. His page is public: truthsocial.com/@realDonaldT... Always verify, yourself. People on this site can lie and be stupid just like anywhere else. 110
ragnese.bsky.social @ragnese.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Nobody is doing that. Don't defend spreading lies and false information. I don't care if it supports my position or not. 170
ragnese.bsky.social @ragnese.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I was going to add this, but was running low on space. Thank you. People who peddle this stuff really should be ashamed. They mostly know better and just prey on people. 000
ragnese.bsky.social @ragnese.bsky.social · 29/09/2026It's hard to post stuff like this because you might be perceived as being a jerk. But, truly, I'm a dog lover and I genuinely care when I say this is totally correct. Homeopathic remedies are literally placebos- they have NO active ingredients in them. They aren't helping your dog. 2161
ragnese.bsky.social @ragnese.bsky.social · 11/09/2026I don't know why she's lying. Maybe attention and publicity. If she is afraid to release them, why would she not be afraid to announce that she has them? They also didn't brag about rigging the election. That's people reading between the lines. 100
ragnese.bsky.social @ragnese.bsky.social · 11/09/2026If that were the reason, then she wouldn't have said anything at all. She's just lying. 200
ragnese.bsky.social @ragnese.bsky.social · 11/09/2026It's like Lucy with the football with these morons. Also, whatever happened to Rs being against handouts and "socialism"? 000
ragnese.bsky.social @ragnese.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Most of it has been performative. With how many people are crowded into the security lines, one could do PLENTY of damage without needing to get through the line and on to a plane... 010
ragnese.bsky.social @ragnese.bsky.social · 09/09/2026We should just ignore and/or immediately "cancel" people who say such stupid shit; not quote, share, reply, etc. If not, words will have no meaning anymore: socialism, fascism, genocide- just in that one post. 000
ragnese.bsky.social @ragnese.bsky.social · 08/09/2026As if Xcode wasn't buggy and half-baked enough already 000
ragnese.bsky.social @ragnese.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Oh, I have. I'm the weirdo who's always preaching this kind of thing to my friends and family. They don't care because they either don't believe that it'll ever actually be taken from them or because they REALLY NEED to play the game or watch the movie and I'm a monster for suggesting they boycott. 110
ragnese.bsky.social @ragnese.bsky.social · 05/09/2026I hope, but I'm not optimistic. Every time I've explained it to people in the last decade+, they shrugged and said they don't care. Gonna suck when nobody can actually own a book anymore... 110
ragnese.bsky.social @ragnese.bsky.social · 05/09/2026And the officials in charge knew damn well that Flock sells the date. Don't tell me no state lawyer read the contract. 000
ragnese.bsky.social @ragnese.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Weird. Just a few years ago, Musk said our government works best when the legislature and executive are controlled by different parties. I can't imagine what changed... 🤔 010
ragnese.bsky.social @ragnese.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Same. Though, I don't think it's us being jaded. I think it's that most languages these days try to be the same and have all the same design features (e.g., Java, the king of OOP, got lambdas and streams; JavaScript got class syntax, etc). Now it's ADTs and checked-exceptions-2.0 in everything. 000
ragnese.bsky.social @ragnese.bsky.social · 24/08/2026See: the song, "Detachable Penis", by King Missile 010
ragnese.bsky.social @ragnese.bsky.social · 22/08/2026But it wasn't friction or "suction" holding it to the bottom, it was gravity. And buoyancy depends on volume and density, not pressure. The explanation is incorrect. Maybe there's some more complex dynamics at work. Or maybe the cut in the video is important to notice... 160
ragnese.bsky.social @ragnese.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Didn't Microsoft brag last year that some 75% of new code written there is by LLMs? Hasn't Github's uptime decreased significantly recently? Weird. 000
ragnese.bsky.social @ragnese.bsky.social · 11/08/2026He listed the same point three times to make it appear like he has more to say than "we hired a bunch of people in a short amount of time". 000
ragnese.bsky.social @ragnese.bsky.social · 04/07/2026I've only played the SNES version. I loved it when I was younger, but when I revisited it recently, the encounter rate was WAY too high. Are all the versions the same in that way? I'd love a hack that cuts the encounter rate by 2 or 3 and just multiplies the exp accordingly. 220
ragnese.bsky.social @ragnese.bsky.social · 03/07/2026You're right, and usually I'm the one who defends NPR. The recent sloppiness just got to me. Including them publishing the fake story about Alito retiring from SCOTUS a few days ago. I hope the trend doesn't continue. 000
ragnese.bsky.social @ragnese.bsky.social · 03/07/2026Several of NPR's posts here have had very mangled English titles. I assume they're either using some really bad/cheap LLM, or whoever is in charge of making these posts just doesn't give a shit. 120
ragnese.bsky.social @ragnese.bsky.social · 03/07/2026I gotcha. That's fair and I do remember Red being a big jump. 010
ragnese.bsky.social @ragnese.bsky.social · 03/07/2026What do you mean re: the level curve? Something about the Pokémon themselves, or the gym trainer levels? 110
ragnese.bsky.social @ragnese.bsky.social · 03/07/2026I've never played Black/White and gen 2 has long been my favorite (well, the QoL of the remakes is even better, of course). Maybe it's nostalgia, but the designs of its "new" Pokémon just felt less lazy and stupid compared to many other gens. Your comment makes me want to find a way to play BW(2). 110
ragnese.bsky.social @ragnese.bsky.social · 03/07/2026You're right, and I did the same thing. They often get frustrated that you're reading it. But, your first comment overlaps with my point: if people can't even say no to a video game, how the hell can we collectively wake up and fight for actually-important stuff? That's the "training" I referred to. 020
ragnese.bsky.social @ragnese.bsky.social · 02/07/2026I'm ambivalent. I feel very strongly that people need to be untrained from signing/agreeing to contracts they don't even fucking read. If you don't like the EULA, you should tell the company to fuck off. If even a few percent of us did it, we'd have fewer problems. 130
ragnese.bsky.social @ragnese.bsky.social · 02/07/2026It's a twenty year old remake of a thirty year old game... I'm not advocating piracy and emulation, but I've heard that some other people are... 010
ragnese.bsky.social @ragnese.bsky.social · 02/07/2026No joke, a lot of games are too long. I like RPGs, but I don't want to spend 100 hours to see all the content. 000
ragnese.bsky.social @ragnese.bsky.social · 01/07/2026I don't notice the notifications a lot of times, anyway 😅 000
ragnese.bsky.social @ragnese.bsky.social · 01/07/2026I've never filled a Pokédex in any game except ZA (except for any that required trading). And I played the original Red version when it was new. Even though parts ZA itself were tedious; filling the Dex felt attainable, satisfying, and not tedious. 👍 000
ragnese.bsky.social @ragnese.bsky.social · 25/06/2026My "favorite" example was when they released mobile (iOS and Android) versions of the SNES Final Fantasy games that required internet access to play because of DRM. I spit out my coffee when I heard that! I don't remember needing internet to play my SNES... 120
ragnese.bsky.social @ragnese.bsky.social · 25/06/2026There are pros and cons to both. You pointed out a con. It's even worse when you only have a few tabs open! But..., you also usually have more horizontal pixels than vertical on a PC, so you can "afford" to use more. And us tab horders can't see the text on most of our horizontal tabs, anyway. 120
ragnese.bsky.social @ragnese.bsky.social · 25/06/2026By "right", do you mean "opposite of left" or "correct"? I've always put them on the left without thinking because it just seemed natural, but now that I think about it, physical tabbed notebooks obviously are tabbed on the right. Maybe that would be better...? 110
ragnese.bsky.social @ragnese.bsky.social · 25/06/2026It's more than an illusion of ownership when you own physical copies with no network requirement to check DRM bullshit. I don't know if that's much of a thing in games, but my point is that owning an N64 cartridge means that it's Nintendo--not you--who have an illusion of owning it. (Non-AI em dash) 110
ragnese.bsky.social @ragnese.bsky.social · 06/06/2026What's also funny is that she's not nearly as busty as they had her in the original FF7. Maybe that... apparel is the compromise? 😂 220
ragnese.bsky.social @ragnese.bsky.social · 04/06/2026He still threatened to, anyway! He immediately came in and claimed that the pardon was invalid because Joe was senile or some BS. Thus proving Joe was right to assume his family would be targeted. 030
ragnese.bsky.social @ragnese.bsky.social · 04/06/2026How the fuck does alleged "war crimes" have anything to do with pardoning Hunter Biden? That's rhetorical- I don't actually care what nonsense answer you think you have. 030
