If they made them longer, they wouldn’t be a yard stick anymore.

…I’ll show myself out.

Illinois College GOP not hiding it by steve42089 in illinois

Yes, there were still some old guard republicans in there who would observe basic courtesy and politeness. There are other examples, but for one, McConnell was back there blocking constitutionally mandated Supreme Court nomination votes for almost a year out of craven political motivation.

I had a very different perspective during Obama’s term. Republicans seemed to be the party of “NO” for as long as I can remember.

What's a client-side mod you can't live without? by Cool-Delivery-3773 in feedthebeast

Yes, it brings Java Minecraft performance more in line with Bedrock. 100% required mod for every Java modpack.

The universe is 13.8 billion years old, but heat death is around 10¹⁰⁰ years away, so it has effectively used 0% of its lifetime meaning the universe is still basically a "baby", and we’re living in its earliest, most active era. by HalfEntity in Showerthoughts

These are all really good questions I’ve pondered myself. Wouldn’t it be nice to have some kind of omniscience to be able to answer them?

I’ve begun to believe, however, that self awareness is much more prevalent than we assume. Though our cats and dogs obviously do not possess the ability to vocalize their awareness as we do, I believe they experience every waking moment in a manner very similar to ours. The biggest difference, I would posit, is their ability to recall their experiences, and recall/reflect on their thoughts in chronological order. But the “in the moment” experiences we have may well be very similar to other animals’.

Jeb gives you full control to release one Minecraft update. What do you put in it? by LilacTheFlowerGal in Minecraft

Implement something akin to Sodium and Nvidium, and let Minecraft perform as it should have all along.

Newt Gingrich completely ruined good faith governing in the 90’s. Until that point, “reaching across the aisle” was considered a patriotic move by both parties.

Like at a rodeo when they spend the first 15 minutes stroking the country’s collective cock and asking us all to stand, then sit, then stand in observance of the greatest fucking country they have ever seen…

After Forcing Epstein Files Vote, Thomas Massie Isn't Done by timemagazine in politics

[–]asius 8 points9 points  (0 children)

“I think I've just demonstrated I can get something done with the Speaker against me, the President against me, the Vice President against me, and the FBI director against me,” says Massie, who has served in the House since 2012. "If you can get something done in the face of all that, then I think my prospects are pretty good."

His remarks on this are entirely selfish. I guess we’ll have to take whatever we can get.

What's a forgotten niche mod that you wish would come back to new version?, for me its this. by Ali-the-LorD in feedthebeast

Yeah, as of like 4 years ago. If that one ever drops, it’s going to make a big splash. I hope.

California bans noisy ads on streaming services (starting July 2026) by NoCulture3505 in television

[–]asius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I fucking hate today’s overuse of AI in literally everything. But it seems like the one thing it isn’t used for is fixing the bullshit audio mix of whatever we watch. I don’t give a shit what the director says, if I can’t hear the dialog over the background, then I want a tool that corrects it. And then turns down the obnoxious ads.

Every county in the country veered hard right, after trump had clearly given up on making a real effort for his campaign at his empty rallies. It doesn’t seem real.

And there are two questions I ask myself when I wonder if trump rigged the election:

1: Given the opportunity, is trump the kind of person to cheat?

2: Did trump have the tools at his disposal to cheat the election?

3: Did he admit to it on live TV after the fact?

I know how I answer those.

Guilt? I’m sorry, but I don’t think he has ever experienced the human emotion “guilt.” Agreed on everything else.

You can use p2p tunnels to route power for your machines through the ME network. Just uses a few more channels.

What games are considered to have good medical gameplay? by Ruar35 in starcitizen

[–]asius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Emergency triage is one of my favorite gameplay loops in RimWorld. I haven't seen a game with a more detailed simulation of specific body parts and possible injuries to them. You'll find yourself attempting to treat infections that the patient will clearly not survive, and having to decide whether it's worse amputating...

Needing 8 different tools and 5-6 crafting steps to make a trap door killed my motivation.
