Well, there are still villains like Lex Luthor, Kingpin and Amanda Waller to represent the actually evil part of society. They’re just a minority because goofy over-the-top villains in silly costumes are more entertaining for the kids.

Standardize or bust.

I upgraded my ten-year-old gaming PC this year and switched from an Nvidia GPU to an AMD one. You’re welcome.

Outdoor advertising still works. TV ads still work. Social media advertising won’t collapse. It may become less effective if legislation moves towards greater privacy protection but it’ll still be effective.

If your diet lacks certain vitamins, a vitamin supplement may help. If not, it won’t. Excess vitamins are eliminated by a healthy body.

Possibly stupid question: if they found out that people were doing illegal stuff on it, doesn’t that mean that they were monitoring people’s conferences? I thought that the FOSS community was big on privacy.

Don’t worry about it, you were right.

It might actually preclude some games from even getting a Switch port at all due to performance.

You are right, I mixed it up with something else.

Pretty much.

Edit: I’m an idiot.

Poor white people whose peasant ancestors were left jobless and homeless due to being unable to compete with free slave labor should pay reparations to the descendants of the people who were forced to work for free, while the rich descendants of the slave owners who dislodged one group while exploiting the other put their blood money in offshore accounts and laugh as the poor people squabble over crumbs.

Exactly. But AFAIK every Denuvo game eventually gets cracked, so at least we will have the pirate copies. From a preservation standpoint, a dumped ROM is much better than a physical cartridge anyway, since it’s more portable and easier to back up. It’s the contents of the cartridge minus the physical limitations.

Take my morning medicine with a tall glass of water, then roll over and sleep for some 20 minutes until it kicks in and I can force myself to get up. Then, breakfast, water the plants and shower.

Dehydrated water: just add water.

Good, maybe in two or three more years Windows 11 will be useable. Right on time for Windows 12 to roll out and drag Microsoft users back to the Stone Age again.

Aggravated Difficulty in Hardening the Dick.

Well, mental disorders are spectrums. It’s not either you’re completely sane or you’re the mayor of cuckoo town. It goes in shades.

If you identify with five or so items on that list of 21, that’s fine. You’re still in the “nornal” zone. If you identify with 16, like I do, that’s ADHD. And I do have an official diagnosis from an actual psychiatrist, thank you very much.

That’s just because we don’t let children get drunk.

I think there’s a clear subjective difference between consciously spanking a child as a form of discipline, as a rational decision and with the absolute minimum force required for it to work, and hitting a child as a form of punishment guided by negative emotions. In the first case, you’re doing it to improve the child’s life in the long run. In the second, you’re just being violent towards someone weaker than you because you’re the lowest of the low.

It’s like the difference between a tasteful nude photograph meant to highlight the beauty of the human body and porn, or between using dissonance in music to create tension and using it because you’re a bad composer. There isn’t a set of general, objective rules to distinguish the two, but if you see it, you immediately know which one it is.
