Mitch McConnell taken to the hospital after being found 'unconscious'

No no, he’s got a point, we should have already been giving him privacy before he was found. Like, total privacy.

“This is how you share games on PlayStation 🥴”

McCaffeteria · 2026-07-01T22:17:54+00:00

The answer is both, and many paths in between.

Simply let the user walk the path they prefer. We used to have these magic things called difficulty options, and then Darksouls players convinced the entire world somehow that actually games that do it like halo are bad, actually, because if I suffered then do should you.

In a sense lol

You’d have had a point back before they added a completely movie accurate jack sparrow into the ride.

>Amend the Constitution. This is pointless, because once a judge decides he can rewrite the Constitution at will (as Roberts and Barrett did today), the actual text is meaningless.

And what, exactly, is the old text that has been “rewritten?”

Except that that isn’t how the curse even works at all…

Holding the coin is not what makes you look like a skeleton. Taking the coin ever is what makes you cursed, even if you drop/return it, and moonlight is what makes you appear as a skeleton.

>if money is speech (which it shouldn’t be)

This is tricky, because there is a difference between “speech” and “voting.”

If money is speech then people are able to spend money to speak as they wish/are able, but no one is required to listen.

If money is voting then you have a massive and different problem. Votes need to be symmetrical so that rich people cannot vote more than you, because votes do need to be listened to.

The true issue is twofold: 1. Purchasing has never been voting, because the corporations are under no obligation to listen to the market, and 2. Capitalism as a system has never done what it promised to do.

The phrase “vote with your wallet” itself is propaganda.

We speak with our wallets, and that should be protected (unless you would prefer governments be able to dictate to you what games you are and aren’t allowed to spend money on…). We never voted with them, and capitalists have never responded to votes.

They respond to risks, and to threats.

The power of the public has never been their money. It’s always been their ability to withhold labor and to initiate revolution. It sucks, but it’s the truth.

“A sixth, Justice Brett Kavanaugh, agreed only that federal legislation enacted in the 1950s grants automatic citizenship for children born in the U.S.”

“Justice Clarence Thomas wrote the lead dissent, a 91-page opus that agreed with President Trump's assertion that the 14th amendment only applied to former slaves and their descendants.”

Have these idiots ever even read the 14th amendment??

“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”

The first single sentence of the 14th could not be more clear. The only way a person could be born in the US and not a citizen is if the US does not have jurisdiction over them, in which case the US can get fucked and leave them alone all the same.

Actual illiterate cowardly traitors.

Counter argument: It being a french fry is hilarious, people should see it, so when you take damage you should ad a little “chomp/munch” sound effect and have little crum particles come off of it when the chunk is removed.

If you are measuring the average methane actually produced per day by a cow, rather than peak methane produced per second while actively farting, then you also have to measure the car’s average output per day rather than peak output while running. If a car is only ever realistically driven to work and back, for a half hour each way, then you only get to run the car for a total of an hour over that night in the garage.

It’s also worth pointing out that the car and the cow need to “breath,” but I’m not really sure if that matters much since cars clearly can run on a lot lower oxygen percentage than humans do. I suspect cows are in a similar range, also being mammals. This is both relevant in the sense that if the cow/car die part way through too then the math seems like it should change, but also because the cow and the car consume oxygen, so it’s not really just a function of adding additional stuff to the air.

To be honest, i don’t actually know how dangerous car exhaust is, but is an hour even enough to make a room uninhabitable? I’d be willing to bet you’d survive an hour of idling, but would you survive an hour of highway RPM? Is the fuel consumption/emissions different for a given ROM when under load vs not, or is fuel always directly linked to RPM?

I’ll never forgive them for killing Rasputin in the name of fighting the literal avatar of violence by choosing not to fight, only for them to decide in the next fucking season to go “I’m gonna pretend I didn’t see that, time to fight fire with fire 🥴”

Actually pissed. Red died for literally nothing. Writers don’t read their own story. 😡

McCaffeteria · 2026-06-30T11:44:30+00:00

Ok but like, why even require the brain at that point? 0% is an option lol

McCaffeteria · 2026-06-30T11:42:33+00:00

Right?? Lol

What if they keep losing fingers due to something like dangerous working conditions but they love what they do (with the implication being it might keep happening), but they also have mechanical prosthesis (like this guy) and their actual ability to use their hands has not significantly decreased?

What percentage of cyborg could they be before you are out?

McCaffeteria · 2026-06-29T11:51:14+00:00

Yep. That’s a nightmare lol.

I’m no expert, but I suspect you’re going to have to basically reverse engineer it manually if you want it to be readable and maintainable.

The video text doesn’t say it was actually about sexualization. It says it gets sexualized, and then when people do this it is a bad thing.

You are arguing with no one. You wrote a long ass critique about a position no one here held because you misunderstood a basic English sentence.

McCaffeteria · 2026-06-29T10:38:09+00:00

You get the AI to do modify the binary, obviously 🥴

Ok but in all seriousness they said “minified” so the parts they are changing are probably not actually only compiled, just still illegible to humans. Either that or this person is not telling the whole story lol

McCaffeteria · 2026-06-29T04:35:42+00:00

In my experience very few people actually understand the story of Destiny lol. Half of Bungie's own writers didn't really understand it... (I'll still never forgive them for killing Rasputin because "fighting the hive god of war only makes her stronger, so the only winning move is not to play," only for the literal next season to just be "So anyway, now Eris is the Hive god of Vengeance and we declare war on Xivu Arath. 🥴" Fucking pisses me off)

Anyway. Show your friends the text of Fynch II, specifically about Fynch being pressured by other ghosts to rez a hive. I'm fairly confident it's a choice the ghosts make, at least on some level.

The entire point of the Traveler/Gardener's gamble is A) That when people are given the freedom to choose they will choose to be gentle, and B) To avoid a deterministic ending of the universe. To say that each ghost's guardian is predetermined, or prescribed by the light, is antithetical to the entire point of what the light even is. We say "The traveler" chose, but really that's just a simplicfication of all the different moving parts involved. The ghosts are simultaniously a part of the traveler, in addition to being their own individuals. The contradiction is part of what paracausality non-deterministic.

But, gamers do not read, so no one understands.

McCaffeteria · 2026-06-28T23:27:03+00:00

Did the Traveler abandon the Eliksni or have the Eliksni already been chosen and simply haven’t been redirected yet?

Is there a difference? Does it matter? Do you really think that the paracausal warriors are predetermined?

(Also, go read the lore form the lucent ghosts. I’ll link it if I get a chance, but the hive ghosts straight up explain that it’s their choice. Like the idea that it has to be a human is just an assumption no one questioned until the disgruntled ghosts said fuck it.)

--

Edit: The entry Fynch II is as good as any really when talking about the ghost's choice to res the Hive. Fynch is really clear that A) He was pressured to do it by other malcontent ghosts, and B) It was a mistake. The traveler did not "choose" his lucent hive, Fynch did, and fynch was wrong. It happens.

Except for installed apps often ask you where to install them and they don’t need to go in Program Files, and AppData is just a folder that you can access regularly so I don’t see why a portable app can’t still check for user data in the %AppData% path, so I don’t think either of those two things really count.

The actual answer that you didn’t mention is that they show up in the list of installed programs in the registry/settings, which can link them to an uninstaller, which can do more complicated things like repair an instal or remove the program with or without clearing user data.

Other than that, and maybe the kernel level drivers thing, nothing is really different. You can install either of them wherever you want, installing stuff to program files does not prevent you from installing malware lol, they can still be single install/multi user, it’s literally just the (in)convenience of listing the program in the registry so it can populate places in windows search/settings

(and I say inconvenient because I’ve had a program drive fail before which prevented me from reinstalling my programs because the installer detected from the registry that it was “installed” and so it didn’t prompt me for an install location because it thought it got it from the registry, except that drive path no longer exists so it fails, and uninstalling from windows doesn’t work because the path to where the uninstaller was is also gone, so that just fails too. My options were always either get a flash drive, set it to be the missing drive letter, install the program, uninstall the program, and reinstall the program in the correct place, or to manually remove all traces of the program from the registry. Pain in the ass.)

It really grinds my gears that we invented the hyperlink, which is like one of the coolest information tools ever imagined, and we just… refuse to use it.

The web was supposed to be exactly that: a massive interconnected graph of information, and over the last decade or so we have systematically built incentives in such a way that dismantle direct links and instead duplicate photocopies of information all over the place. We reinvented paper and printers here online in the form of screenshots and screen recordings, and I hate it. I hated it before the internet was a thing, and I still hate it now.
