Very much so. They just call them “gifts” from “friends” and that’s the end of it.

Pressure and mockery? Pretty sure he died of physical abuse and malnutrition. He didn’t die because Putin made him sad.

The whole point of the cat thing was to point out the absurdity of the claim that reality isn’t real until you know about it. The cat is already in whatever state you observe when you open the box. It’s not both alive and dead, it’s either alive or dead. The thought experiment isn’t serious, and it’s not supporting the idea that the cat is somehow magically in both states just because you haven’t yet manipulated the lid of a wooden cube.

I guess I better buy a new Pi before they quintuple in price for half the quality

But he unfortunately also gets what he doesn’t deserve, like billions of dollars

“OMG we thought they were unarmed Palestinians!”

They do wear out eventually, but the end of their useful life is a whole crapload of rounds if they’re well-made, and most good guns can have parts replaced either by the user or by a smith, so you can keep them running a long time if you oil them and keep them relatively rust-free. If a gun is so messed up it can’t fire or if it fails catastrophically and blows up, if it’s truly and permanently at the end of its life, I think most folks do indeed throw them in the trash, assuming they have no historical value. Maybe disassemble them or cut them up with a hacksaw first. Once it stops being able to be a gun anymore, it’s just junk.

Wait until you hear about The Sims

Dropping off enough fuel to run the hospital for half an hour? Who cares? It was a PR stunt that would have made no difference. 300 liters is a pittance, an insult, a photo op, a lie to make suckers who can’t conceptualize volume think they made an effort to help. 300 liters is less than 80 gallons. This would be enough diesel to run a generator for one RV at full capacity for about 3 days, not a hospital with a ton of lights and computers, a ventilation system and a bunch of kids on life support. They sent enough fuel for one family to go glamping for a weekend.

A dagger does d4 damage. A dagger is not a small knife, it’s like 8 inches of blade. Compared to that, a human bite should be like a d2 on the high side.

Democrats are frequently still racist, obedience-loving sacks of shit, they’re just the lesser of two evils in a system where the greater of two evils is a pack of utterly cynical greed-as-a-virtue actual fascists.

My 3070 apparently can’t run it in low detail at the native resolution of my monitor. Weak.

“No, don’t [do that]” is not a double negative, it’s just two independent negatives in a row, they don’t affect each other. A double negative would be like “don’t not do that” which will mean “do not fail to do that” to most people.

Guess what Edge and Chrome do if you make Firefox the default browser? They all harass you if you run them when they aren’t the default. At least Firefox respects the “don’t bother me about this again” checkbox
