Ah. The forgotten lands, according to some maps.
That post is outstanding and is a wonderful writeup that highlights the danger of associating with a company as morally bankrupt as Meta.
There is concern that Threads will use embrace, extend, extinguish to depreciate the ActiviyPub protocol. Essentially, they adopt the open standard, expand on it with proprietary additions, then when everyone is using the modified standard they drop support for the open standard and now everyone has to play ball by their rules.
Zelda BotW and TotK are not fun. The stamina system is pointless and the weapon durability is frustrating. On top of that, the world’s are just sooo empty. There’s really nothing in them. Oh look, an interesting ruin… it’s another repetitive shrine. Oh, that geological formation is really unique aaannnddd it’s another fucking korok seed. That’s all you ever got for exploring. Shrines and korok seeds.
I did like slapping random shit onto my weapons in tears of the kingdom though. All in all to me the games are fine but not really Zelda games.
I’ll accept the risk. I need the clicky
Do you know what episode? I love knowledge fight I’d like to listen to it
I never understood what the dates were even used for. Like, is the date used for proof that I sent it before the deadline? Check the postmark on the envelope. Used to prove I know when the election is? Why else would I be sending a ballot. I don’t understand what the proponents of that rule are trying to accomplish other than making a really shitty literacy test.
I’m torn and slightly confused. On one hand, good on them, I do enjoy some shitposting. On the other, the founder of NAFO is a nazi.
Edit: Also I went to Truth Social and thought it was weird that I couldn’t reject their cookies so I clicked in the link at the bottom for GDPR and it gave me a 404 lol.
What a wonderful website. All it needs is flames.gif and a link to a page that has little barricades on it that says “Under construction”
I blame my love of high fantasy on the Xanth series. First it was Xanth, then it was Redwall, now it’s my preferred form of escapism.
Tankies gonna tank.
That there was some confusion whether it is a purple monster that eats people or a monster that only eats purple people.
I’m actually the opposite. I’ve tried using Lemmy and I still do to an extent but I dunno. I love the feel of kbin
It’s a name he adopted while living in Paris, according to Greg Sestero.
Interim clearances are pretty common. The Office of Personnel Management takes forever, like a year or two, to complete their investigation so that a clearance can be fully adjudicated.
It makes sense that Lawyers from the government would have presumably worked on cases similar to this in the past, or at the very least needed to review some kind of classified material, and that private attorneys hired by a defense might not have.
All in all, the interim clearances don’t really mean anything.
They probably didn’t know it was illegal to be honest. This was a judge magistrate which is a very low level judge . Not excusing it, just, as the saying goes: never attribute to malice what is adequately explained by stupidity.
Yeah. Something like if you have a sign up button, right next to it in the same font/style should be a cancel subscription button. Click it and you enter your credentials then you get a email with a link to confirm cancelation. Everything would mimic the sign up process.
Does it matter? Endlessly pontificating about the true nature of reality serves no purpose. If I’m driving and I’m about to hit a tree, reality doesn’t give a single fuck if I consider “well maybe the tree isn’t really there. How can I truly know?”
Like, I was talking with a guy and he was saying shit about how can we truly know that what I say is the color green is the same as what you see? It just feels mastubatory. It’s what words are for. If that guy asks me to go to the store and buy forest green paint from a certain brand and I come back with forest green paint from that brand he’s not going to worry about whether or not we see the exact same shade.
