but if not fren, why fren shaped?

when my computer, my 3ds, switch, and $600+ worth of games were stolen out of my truck off of S Claiborne and Robert, all I got told was the serial numbers for my devices were 'too long to put into their theft tracking system' lol

funny story, I got my computer bag back years later off of... ebay.

and I'll bang the drum over and over again, it's asbestos. genAI's inclusion, no matter how tasteful or ethical its inclusion is framed, it calls the whole work into question by it's inclusion. same way if I take a hot sample in a building prior to a demo, have to treat the whole thing as asbestos.

It's why I've refused to pick up Arc Raiders despite the insistence of several friends...

Like… genetically I’m Sicilian, German, Irish, and a few other things sure… but I’m just ‘white as white can get southern US gal’ when it comes down to it.

I might joke about my heritage but I’ll never try to claim any of that culture because I don’t know it, just know of it.

Okay, good choice of movie! But I have to question the coding a starfield mod bit lol

I kinda grew up under the philosophy ‘if you hunt, you have to be for conservation, and what you hunt, you use’ from my grandpa.

It’s… hard to describe what the draw to it is, but know that even if I could articulate it, we’d still probably disagree. And that’s okay.

...the fact I actually remember this so vividly despite not having touched the books since the end of highschool feels weird.

Yeah... President Coin was a ruthless calculating monster.

The 'twist' wasn't so much that Katniss kills her, but more Katniss realizing what Coin was, and turning her arrow on Coin instead of Snow, since Snow was a dead man anyway.

The incrementalist neoliberal that ALSO purposely sent in 'search and rescue' units that included Katniss's younger sister, into what they already knew was another trap that the Capitol was going to set off... willfully sacrificing people to try and make the capitol look worse? That one?

tanks, assault gun platforms, IFVs... they're all gonna continue to have places on the battlefield for a long time to come. Kinda like with anything, right tool for the right job gets you far.
