If the ownership rights of megacorps werent one of the two and a half things the justice system actually cares about, I would don the pirate hat in an instant. Watching a movie legally is one of the worst customer experiences I can imagine: no original dub, massive artifacting, restricted to 480p

If you don't 100% support the status quo, you better have a comprehensive social, economic and global policy without any contradictions my guy!

"The servers communicate using a shared secret mechanism"

I understand that it's a (shared secret) mechanism, but the way it's documented it might as well be a shared (secret mechanism)

Extremely unusual that the Bluesky team is working late on a Sunday night to verify Canadian political parties and elected officials who are rumored to be mulling over a coordinated X ban with Australia and the UK.

I've been yelling at my mother in law for years that everything that gets her down about the world is connected by one common cause, but as soon as I drop the big C-word, she just smiles at my silly lefty ideas and carries on as if there was no war in ba-sing-se

I think the reason why I hate Elden Ring with such a visceral passion is because it presents itself as a fighting game, while its actually a "no margin for error"-rhythm game

Plus, of course, the community consists exclusively of the people who called your mom a fag in the xbox lobby 15 yrs ago

The thoughts of "jerking off" and "smoking weed" are very closely linked in my mind, in a way I can hardly think of one without thinking about the other

"The mechanism is currently not well understood" is documentation speak for "It works, but we don't know why. Just do it as the docs say pls"

Same with "haha hes so incompetent" btw. You don't just stumble into a presidency, even if he's just the faceman

Stop falling for the misdirection and see at the real trick
Whenever trump does a thing, the people go "THIS IS TO DISTRACT FROM THE EPSTEIN FILES!" but why tho? Hes already been convicted of sexual assault, we already know hes above any law, we know that the spin "they were teenagers not girls so its fine" works well. How would the Files be his downfall?
