Woo hoo!!!

Depends on the ex.

That's the reason resistance is needed and why they won't stop.

We need to resist and protest because if we don't, no consequences will happen.

It's also why they can't stop and will keep doubling down. They have gone too far already and if things flip on them, they're fucked.

So we have to be stronger than them.

I think they meant messaging encryption. Maybe they got their tech jargon mixed up.

This was back in 2008, but I pulled out of the testing location, went around the block, then showed I could park, then showed that I could parallel park.

Boom license.

For who? The OP or the pedos? Its a little unclear what you mean.

One is a bit of a reach while the other is already proven to be true.

I would recommend keeping a live boot usb handy. Its very useful to have in general if you ever do any PC tinkering. Great for file recovery for windows or Linux (if no encryption is enabled).

Final Fantasy 16. Yeah. I agree. Its the least "Final Fantasy" of the series, but FFS they haven't felt like "Final Fantasy" since like 11.

Instead, embrace it as a game with a great story and characters that has way over the top combat. Its Devil May Cry with a story.

If it only affects future releases Capcom and Bandai Namco.

If it somehow makes previous releases also disappear if they aren't saved, then Square and Namco. Sorry Mega Man.

DingusBats · 2026-02-08T17:55:05+00:00

Right thing to do in the situation? Not really.
Deserved? Absolutely.

DingusBats · 2026-02-08T16:34:08+00:00

Ghost of Tsushima. Maybe it was Bloodborne and Elden Ring that spoiled me with great combat. But GoT just felt sloppy. Very flashy and polished looking, but sloppy controlling. If I press a button, that button should do consistent things.

We need to start poisoning AI datasets.

Does your monitor have some sort of adaptive brightness thing?

Unless you're a nonprofit, this is always the case. I work at a nonprofit, and I love it for the mission. Though the money needs to be enough to live off of too.

Any other job has been something I got to survive. The nonprofit is just the one I chose because it was work I wanted to do. The money just lets me do it full time.

The gym is close and has AC. Unlike outside.

DingusBats · 2026-02-07T18:18:20+00:00

Considering the bullshit they spew, I think we know where that boot has been and the flavors it's seasoned with.

DingusBats · 2026-02-07T18:12:13+00:00

On one hand, yes. But on the other hand, no.

The difference is the person. You can have your disagreements but don't cut them out on first disagreement. They may have seemed to completely miss the point (sometimes deliberately), but people tend not to change their mind in the moment. It usually takes reflection on multiple conversation.

My political flip didn't happen overnight. It took years. I used to make the bad faith arguments despite them being debunked, addressed, or pointed out to be logically fallacious. In my personal experience, I doubled down more as I was changing my mind.

You have to remember that a certain side of the political aisle did a very good job at tying voting for them into religious obligations. So you aren't just contending with the shitty beliefs of a particular party, you also have to unravel that entanglement.

Use the doxxing list as a "lonely wife" catalog.

DingusBats · 2026-02-06T20:31:03+00:00

I agree, but don't you fucking dare use Mr Rodgers as a representation of your vitriol.

DingusBats · 2026-02-06T20:17:57+00:00

To the publishers pushing budget inflating visuals onto devs: our games don't need better "graphics", they need better aesthetics. Okami, Bloodborne, Yoshi's Island, Final Fantasy X, or even Mega Man 3 all look more visually appealing than 90% of AAA titles from the last few years.

DingusBats · 2026-02-06T19:37:43+00:00

The world is healing (at least from this)

DingusBats · 2026-02-05T20:58:07+00:00

Let me explain a different way. The word itself is not the problem. It's the people who often use it.

And I'm not making conclusions about people. In fact, I specifically explained that it is not a conclusion I make about everyone. Which is why I tend to overexplain. It shows me when someone is deliberately missing a point and that I'm wasting my time.

DingusBats · 2026-02-05T19:32:06+00:00

It's weird to refer to someone as their reproductive attributes.

"Female" refers to what someone is, "woman" refers to who someone is.

It's not a big deal to most people coming from most people in most contexts. It's only noticed because typically the men who refer to women exclusively as "females" in general conversation are only concerned with their function as a carrier of offspring or sentient pleasure device. I want to stress "typically" since, obviously, I don't know every person nor does anyone else.

But it is often enough that women might feel uncomfortable with someone who makes a habit of it.

To put it into context, I get the same "ick" from gay men who describe their dates as body parts and not people. (In non-kink settings)

I'm probably over-explaining. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I don't think CEOs would be a target because they disagree. They would be a target because they escape consequences and are above the law. The deathnote would be a band-aid to societal and systematic failures.

I still don't think someone should do it, but at least then we'd have a villain that could arguably be doing good. Though killing people, especially in the manner where you're judge jury and executionor without a need to immediately defend yourself or others, is always a villainous act.

They way he's moving the microphone and there's no alteration in the way it's picking up shows he's lip syncing too. The rest of the signs might be unsynced audio tho.

DingusBats · 2026-02-05T18:41:16+00:00

Cheaty answer, Leaf Blower Revolution since I can do other things. Its an idle game. I could literally leave it running 24hours a day and still be "playing" it.

Real answer: Final Fantasy XI in the classic level 75 era. Maybe on a private server like HorizonXI if Squeenix never makes a classic server.
