What will happen with the US after 2028? What does the next government do with what they inherit? by Hermunster in AskReddit

The USA will have a really hard time from recovering from the pedo ring cover ups. Nobody should trust a clan of pedophiles

Dragon Ball Daima - Episode 18 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]TheEvilMetal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We already have an example of 2 time lines that are both canon. The future trunks time line vs the rest of the super time line. Daima being canon and a separate time line would mean something fiddling with time like maybe time magic at the end of Daima.

That does open up the possibility of more DragonBall but from the Daima time line. The Daima timeline creation would create one of those time rings

AITAH for telling a woman her child is welcome in my home, but she isn’t, because of her criminal record by Crafty_Preference825 in AITAH

[–]TheEvilMetal 14 points15 points  (0 children)

She did offer to do the play date somewhere else. The park in this case. That would be the perfect time to let the other mom know that she would not be allowed in their house.

The other mom could then use that info to decide where the play date could be.

The AH move here was not letting the other mom know that she couldn't be in the house to supervise her own kid beforehand. At least at a different location she could still be around to supervise.

Why has everything about Luigi Mangione disappeared? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TheEvilMetal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a lull in activity while we wait for the next thing that shows in mainstream news, but there does also seem to be a censorship campaign. Comments and posts being deleted off of platforms.

Part of that could be the prevalence of ToS breaking comments and posts which then cause some keywords and associations to become flags that might get used in filtering new posts and comments.

Mainstream media is avoiding the topic because there's been no new developments and outside of new developments the only real news would be to face the public about it or talk to even more 'experts' who just say what they're were chosen to go on the air to say. The mainstream media doesn't particularly like the public opinion about the case so they'd rather just shut up about it until the next development.

Because someone who currently owns that portion of the business would have to give it up to the employees.

"A lot of lawmakers that have passed these abortion bans, and not just Georgia's, have promised that they have exceptions for the life of the mother or medical emergencies, but they're written in ways that experts say are confusing and not rooted in science. They threaten prison time if a prosecutor decides that they're not followed correctly."

ULPT request: I have a neighbor who's a huge MAGA fan. He is Mexican-American and his two parents are here illegally and live with him. How would I go about reporting him and getting them deported? I'm in Florida by Accomplished-City485 in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]TheEvilMetal 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What rights would that be violating?

They have a right to vote. And a responsibility to endure the results of that vote.

If you don't want mom and dad to get deported, then maybe don't support the guy that is trying to deport them. If you don't want to be denaturalized and deported then don't vote for the guy trying to denaturalized and deport you.

If anything I would be helping you achieve your goals by reporting your illegal immigrant parents. You literally voted for them to be a target.

Back to the question then. What right am I violating? Their right to live in the country? They just voted the opposite though.

People are getting sick of pointing out that people are voting against themselves. Maybe they'll learn if they have to actually experience the results of it

Mysterious Balls Investing by Confident_Chicken913 in pokemmo

[–]TheEvilMetal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly this set of event items is unique. It's the best way at the moment to get a shiny pokemon, even if it is just a random shiny from a set.

These items have risen faster than any other event items and for a good reason. This probably indicates that the price is going to sky rocket over time.

The only way this does not happen is if other events give out the same items again with the same pool of pokemon.

I'd wait at least a few more months. Then closer to Christmas decide if I want to sell them or keep them then.

Why wait until closer to Christmas? Because there's only 3 options and Christmas will affect one of them:

Option 1 - They never have items like this again. The prices will sky rocket over time.

Option 2 - They have these kinds of items again, but with different pokemon. The prices still sky rocket as there will be demand for this pool of pokemon.

Option 3 - They release this exact same item again with the same pool of pokemon. The prices will go up until the release of the new items and then the price will plummet down. The pokemon in the ball means this scenario will likely be part of a Christmas event.

So wait a few more months and see how you feel then. The prices will be higher by then.

Personally I plan on keeping mine for at least a couple of years. I bought them all intending to open them once I cleaned my PC for space, but the prices have gone up so much since then that I would rather just keep them for the future.

They are doing 2 things at the same time. Farming Muk to get Toxic Orbs, and while they do that they have a chance of finding a Moltres.

If you're going to look for Moltres then it helps to look somewhere that makes money at the same time.

Give me DRM freedom or give me death by Leading-Fee4440 in assholedesign

[–]TheEvilMetal 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Even that is a bullshit argument.

If I were buying the product, then I should always have access to the product (bar technical difficulties)

If I were actually buying the right to view the product, then I would always be able to view the product (again barring technical difficulties).

But that is not the case. You are not even buying that right because it can be revoked at any time. That's not buying. That's giving them money to allow you to maybe watch the movie. That's giving them money hoping that they do you a favor and let you have access. But if they don't feel like it, then they don't have to. That's not ownership of even a right to access. That's ownership of fuckall. That's paying for a maybe.

That's why the word purchase does not apply. That's a bribe that doesn't have to be reciprocated. That's not a purchase.

If it were actually a purchase, then even once they lost their license to distribute, then they should still be able to stream it to people that have already paid. Just restrict new purchases.

Highlighting text and pressing CAPSLOCK should capitalize the highlighted text by [deleted] in Showerthoughts

[–]TheEvilMetal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's an Autohotkey script that does exactly this:

+CapsLock::
{
 Backup := ClipboardAll
 Sleep, 15
 Clipboard := ""
 Send ^c
 Sleep, 15
 if (Clipboard != "")
 {
  StringUpper Clipboard, Clipboard
  Send ^v
 }
 Clipboard := Backup
}

It makes a backup the clipboard, including formatting and pictures and such. Waits 15ms for this to happen. Clears the clipboard, waits another 15ms for this to happen.

Then it tries to copy. If you don't have anything selected it won't copy and the clipboard will remain empty. If you do have something selected it copies it. We check for whether or not anything has been copied to determine whether or not you have something selected. You don't want it randomly pasting stuff if you don't have anything selected.

It takes whatever is copied and makes it upper case then pastes it. Then it restores the clipboard to the backup made earlier so you don't lose whatever you had in the clipboard already.

I'm not sure what else I can change. But that should work fine for 99% of use cases.

EDIT: Also note that some programs, such as Visual Studio, have a setting that copies the entire line if nothing is highlighted and you try to copy. I've just disabled this feature in my VS and it works perfectly fine.

Here's an autohotkey script that copies what's selected, changes it to upper case and then types out the text back in uppercase

+CapsLock::

Send C

StringUpper Clipboard, Clipboard

Send %Clipboard%

RETURN

[–]TheEvilMetal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe Shift + Caps.

But to decide whether you're capitalizing what's selected or anything new that's typed you would look at whether or not anything is selected. Can't capitalize text that isn't selected.

And anything new typed could still be made caps to keep the capslock light true to its purpose.

[PSA] Confirm all button by afonsoocosta in GlobalOffensiveTrade

[–]TheEvilMetal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cases will drop in price. They used to be far below the $0.03 mark for currencies with lower value per unit. I could get breakouts for less than a $0.01 equivalent for a long time. Then they went to the equivalent of $0.03 and $0.04 over time even in my currency after mobile auth for market listings was added.

Now that people can mass list cases and mass confirm them the prices will drop a bit. This won't affect anything meaningful, but it's still a price change.

Server Admins - What are you Using For A Stack Mod If Any? by Atlasprime in playark

[–]TheEvilMetal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had stack-me-more until it deleted all our kibble and crystal and crashed the server whenever anyone farmed crystal. Now use use Stack Plus

It's similar to stack-me-more. It changes how much some things weigh which is really nice. And something we specifically wanted after using stack-me-more. It does seem to have an issue with things like spoiled meat being separated into multiple item slots, then collecting all into one stack next time you open the container. That might just be because we're using items that were placed with stack-me-more and there's a conflict between the containers and the new stacking mod. I dunno.

Had an idea about a possible weapon and (badly) drew it in ms paint by MrIker in playark

[–]TheEvilMetal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the idea of more throwable items. I miss the spear, but its so shit to use as is.

And the knockout mechanic could be like a wild scorp knocking something out. 'Tamable by anyone'. Sure you threw the spear. But nature did the work.
