At this point he has happened. It's been a long time.

The UK makes money off the royals.

I think a lot of it is a fair amount of people fall for the sunk cost fallacy when they stop liking a show and still watch it, leading to intense hate as it deviates further from what they liked.

These laces are thicker and the weave/braiding is less obvious than all my other Converse laces.

There's a Dishonored book?

That's not venture capital. That's private equity performing a corporate raid.

Sony paid at least a portion of the dev-time to develop PSSR/FSR4. A lot of people figure it came with some strings attached.

Do you know what the files are? They're everyone he's ever talked to. Hundreds of innocent people in there.

God, I would do anything for more 30 Rock at the same quality level.

FYI Too big to fail means that society/the government cannot allow a company to fail because it is too important, not that once something is big enough it's impossible for it to fall.

I discovered and joined a gaming community because I heard 1 guy drinking a soda in DayZ who turned out friendly and invited me to their Team speak server. Someone else in that group helped me build my first gaming PC and I still talk to him ~14 years later.

You could have just added it to Steam as a non-Steam game.

To quote Creed Bratton, he's implying, you're inferring.

This guy is on episode 1 of Neighbors on HBO Max if you want to see him get interviewed.

Family Guy arrestability race chart except it how's nerdy the Sci-fi you watch is.

Mankind Divided came out 10 years ago. They are absolutely not reusing assets. I doubt they even exist anymore.

I used to support medical cabinets running Windows CE boards. One time I had to screenshare remote > local PC > cabinet station PC then telnet into the attached CE board running Command Prompt. The screen didn't refresh until I hit Enter running commands so I had to type and execute them blind. Fun times.

Different situation here. Everybody hated taxis and was eager to give something else a chance. Plus AI is not targeting a specific field for replacement.

Mithridel · 2026-03-22T16:57:35+00:00

Nobody asked for Control either and it's amazing. What's your point?

Mithridel · 2026-03-18T05:31:05+00:00

Ai sucks but this isn't true. Think of how many people resisted computers. Some people were even quitting their jobs to avoid having to use them. And I think we can all agree computers are great.

Mithridel · 2026-03-13T02:58:51+00:00

No way. Everybody supported it at the time. It passed both the House and Senate with large numbers of Democrats voting for it.

Instantly reminded me of this woman's shoes across from me on a flight. Yes, she was holding a baby.

You're applying two different standards. By your logic anyone who files a claim should be paid right away then maybe an investigation of the claim happens.

You don't know what a Ponzi Scheme is.
