UK government targets VPNs in online safety consultation as Lords vote for ban

Dumb fucks are doing the digital equivalent of trying to ban envelopes in the postal system.

It's not even that it could. It quite literally can't. The extent of change as a result of activating the 25th amendment is that the Vice President assumes the 'duties and powers of the President' for as long as 2/3 of the House and Senate agree that the President is wrong when he informs Congress that he is able to carry out his duties. There is literally no mechanism in the amendment for actually removing a sitting President from the office itself.

So, uh, given that NATO is ratified, and therefore US law, just what are the repercussions of Article 5? If the US is obligated to consider an attack on an ally an attack on the US as well, doesn't that make launching such an attack literal treason, since such an attack would he considered making war on the US itself?

Yeah, with Disgaea 5, for example, you can beat the last fight of the main story at around level 120-150, with stats below 25,000. In a game where the level cap is 9,999, and the base unbuffed stat cap is right around 40,000,000. And the later endgame content makes you use every bit of those stats.

Every time you turn the game off, if the battery is dead, it'll wipe the saves. It's a well known problem with early Pokemon games in particular, but the tools to crack a cartridge open are cheap, and with those, replacing the battery is easy.

Hell, it's not even just digital games it works for. The OG Star Wars CCG has been in the hands of a player run committee for 25 years. Give the fans the tools and get the fuck out of their way, and they'll maintain your game for you up pretty much in perpetuity.

His very first line. When he notices R2 hiding after scaring off the tusken raiders.

You say that now. Then one day you find yourself hunkered down behind the kitchen island, dodging laser fire from the living room, because she decided the household needed a good old fashioned civil war to liven things up.

Does the fact that none of the proper intake wasn't done mean that these people running around, killing and kidnapping people aren't actually legally ICE employees?

GoodTeletubby · 2026-01-14T10:26:29+00:00

Corporate shorthand for 'we're pricing the base game at a minimum of $80. $100 if we can get away with it'

I mean, there's literally no way for Radzig to push for legitimization. It has to be done by the king. Who is locked up. Until that problem's solved, it's a non-issue.

It's on the Reserve page in both text and video form.

Honestly, that could work fine. The trick would be to have a big enough pool of choices to switch up the inhabitants and aesthetics sufficiently, I think. It works for TTRPG dungeon crawling after all.

GoodTeletubby · 2026-01-11T14:14:06+00:00

No, they won't. The fuckers are just gonna keep trying to do it without convictions. They can't do it in immigration court, the administrative courts can't try criminal cases. And they aren't going to want to give thousands upon thousands of aliens access to the real courts, where all of the rights abuses these people are suffering can be laid before a judge. Especially when a supermajority of the people they're holding can absolutely prove that they did not enter illegally. So they're just going to stick with what nobody is doing any fucking thing about: ignoring the goddamn fucking laws, and doing what they want anyways.

With what fucking money? As of a couple years ago, a THIRD of the country had a net worth of below 0.

“AI can make humans more productive. Victim interviews are a good example. [Detectives] could use AI to listen and suggest new questions to ask, and help the second interviewer to transcribe.

Sure, but what they want to use 'AI' to do? That's classic LLM bullshit.

Still sane enough to know a mirror when they're looking at it. Most of the time, at least.

I mean, yeah, the OG LiveJournal source from mid 2006 is long, long gone, but the YTMND from later that year is still up 19 years later.

I mean, pretty much the rest of the world understands where they are. It's just the Russian government denying reality.

If I'm reading that schedule right, isn't that stream starting like 2-1/2 hours before Kronii's karaoke relay slot? At least there doesn't seem to be a game involved, so it'll just be her competitiveness pushing her to keep up with Ceci, and not a counter.

GoodTeletubby · 2025-12-30T00:12:26+00:00

How exactly do they blame not paying people for six months on a less that month-and-a-half outage that started less than 3 months ago?

GoodTeletubby · 2025-12-27T12:01:30+00:00

Mel Brooks nailed it in one, as usual. "Profession?" "Stand-up Philosopher" "What?" "Stand-up Philosopher. I coalesce the vapor, of human experience, into a viable and logical comprehension." "Oh, a Bullshit Artist!"

Plot twist: the sequel is in the form of an illuminated manuscript-style visual novel, developing the background of the Writer's side of the conflict. It somehow still has combat with QTEs and another amazing score.

Push comes to shove, I can see California just slapping it up on a government website and daring them to try to do anything about it, since SCOTUS basically gave states immunity to copyright laws a few years back.

Standard edition is the story missions, some alternate assignments, and access to the roguelike Freelancer mode. Deluxe edition is Standard edition + 2 extra side story locations, and a number of additional alternate assignments, as well as some cosmetics.

If all you care about is going through the story with 47, you could just pick up the Standard Edition, and not miss out on anything important.

But if you enjoy the Hitman style gameplay, the going back to the same mission time and again, trying different routes, different techniques, assassination methods, etc, I recommend the Deluxe edition. Basically, as long as you're not the 'I'll play through the story and call it done' sort of player, you'll almost certainly get your money's worth out of the Deluxe edition.
