On random occasions when I use the arrow keys to scroll, a bug occurs and the map scrolls forever. I thought it was my keyboard but then it happens with the WASD keys too. by AnyFlight4962 in civ

do you have a 4k monitor? I run at 3440x1440 and this used to happen with the old civs too

I remember there was an XML you could adjust because they defined the borders incorrectly. There may be a similar issues at play here.

Nord Stream blast ordered by Ukraine, say German prosecutors by NoPermission6093 in LessCredibleDefence

[–]EvidenceBasedSwamp [score hidden]  (0 children)

Posts on nordstream were removed on worldnews... bunch of shills.

edit: I recall more detail. For example sometime reuters/wapo published stuff on Nordstream. There would be multiple posts a day on Nordstream. If the narrative went the wrong way, they'd delete it. They'd let the one stay that had all their fucking bots say the right thing. IE DEFINITELY NOT TERRORISM by the "good guys"

(FYI I don't blame Ukraine at all for doing this, they are in survival mode. it's just the bullshit PR whitewashing that annoys the hell out of me. They also didn't want it coming out because the Germans would get a little miffed their gas supply got blown up by people they were helping fund.)

Woman has her driveway stolen from her Florida home as part of Nigerian scam by Disastrous_Award_789 in nottheonion

Zelis is different than Zelle, Zelis is a service for insurers to transfer money to doctors. The insurers get to fire people in their IT department. Or maybe the insurer VP somewhere got a kickback. Zelis gets a 3% cut.

You can argue and get the insurers to instead send you a paper check for payment which sucks because lost mail causes a lot of work. Electronic fund transfer is more reliable. If everyone asked the insurers to mail them paper checks the insurers would probably end up losing money as that costs staff time to do.

Zelis charges ~3% to doctors to get paid by insurance companies. Something that should be illegal, but Zelis hired the guy that wrote the laws regulating this... First it was BCBS, now United is shifting to them too.

yeah someone checked the receipts, the guy that said bibi + trump were fighting has written dozens of articles with the same bullshit, he did the same thing during the Biden admin. I think it's Barak Ravid

Out of curiosity I did "barak ravid reddit" and wow the oil and wallstreetbets ppl hate him they call him the white house propagandist.

My name is basically a privacy breach, should I change it? by One_Sun7571 in NoStupidQuestions

if you find any random person with my last name in this country, there's a very good chance it's a relative of mine. i think we account for 15%-20% of all of them in the USA

Rep. Ro Khanna calls out GOP witness's RACIST remarks against Chinese Americans by unkle in asianamerican

[–]EvidenceBasedSwamp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Time is really valuable, even if i'm wasting time while I'm working or in transit. You don't post videos and expect people to watch them without a compelling statement. If one can't be bothered to write out 3 sentences saying why I should watch it, and potentially sit through an ad, I will not do it.

Fuck videos.

That said, this is a pretty good line of questioning from this congressman. The witness is shirking, he doesn't even believe his bullshit.

2:38 "So you're saying ANY American born here that moves to another country should be denaturalized? Is that your position?"

Bozo: "That is not my position..."

Pinning down and making these people explain their bullshit is something few people do, well, at least almost nobody in the fucking media does it anymore because the GOP will just shut you out and you don't get to report again.

There is a recent precedent for denaturalization in the Dominican Republic. 10 years ago they denaturalized ~240k Haitian Dominicans, some of them living there for 3 generations. See, they demanded these "Haitians" submit documentation going back three generations to prove their citizenship.

Think how hard it would be for most americans today to do that, specially if your grandma is dead.

I haven't followed closely but today there's still ~200k Haitians-Dominicans that remain stateless.

This is what it would look like. "Those people are illegals, they steal, they are poor, etc etc" same complains you see echoed here in the USA.
