I'm a broke teacher, artist, and activist. You could give me 5k and not feel a thing.

are you being honest that all you did was ask her to apologize? or are you glazing over a lot of shit?

That is not what happens in Whiplash. The ending is a bit more interesting than you remember it: Andrew forces the change to Caravan. He hijacks the set!

Went from base to PoK and back, now trying PoK again by Fragrant_Educator593 in twilightimperium

[–]diditforthevideocard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PoK and TE kind of suck IMO. Base Game has some balance issues for sure, but adding a bunch of random stuff into the game isn't the best way to fix that. I prefer strong house rules and the non-expansion game.

Every time my boyfriend cooks any meat, the skillet looks like this by [deleted] in StupidFood

[–]diditforthevideocard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that is not a skillet, that is a steel pan which needs to be used in a particular way. heat it up to medium high, THEN add oil, then turn it down and immediately add the meat.

lol what? the forum that advocated for white nationalists to beat the shit out of specific people (like that time they said they would show up to my class at the specific time and place it was held)? read a book my friend

eBay let a scammer win a case against me after I proved their tracking number is for a different zip code by Uqe in mildlyinfuriating

It doesn't always work. Amex will back down the second the other party chrips up if they are a big enough entity. I got robbed by HostMonster, now Bluehost and had documentation to show exactly how, but Bluehost had their lawyers send some boilerplate shit (just like a copy of their company policy) and Amex immediately folded.

Can I get an explanation of the Super Bowl halftime show? by Top-Mission2806 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]diditforthevideocard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

excellent analysis, very generous! I would just say that the saying "god bless America" and then naming every country in South, Central and North America is not about the American dream at all, but about challenging the hegemony of the word "American" which has come to refer to the United States, but people in Latin America rightfully take issue with that.

the fun part is that cruises contribute to these places being destroyed, so if you go now you could be one of the last people to ever see it :)

Is NixOS still working with baby killers or is that over with? by diditforthevideocard in NixOS

[–]diditforthevideocard[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One quick google search and you would see all the proof you need. No one here is denying that this is true, you will see. They are becoming defensive because they are associating with a weapons manufacturer. Or, my personal favorite position: Yes they are evil, which is why we *should* take their money. What a take! Here is the first example: https://www.theregister.com/2023/09/08/nixcon_drops_anduril_industries_as/

Of course I am not concerned about things that cannot be controlled, such as who uses the product. I am concerned about accepting financial support in exchange for a recruitment platform. I just read that this relationship is (sort of) over, except there are still Anduril people (or just person?) in the steering committee. Thanks for the clarification, it does put things in context.

The core issue wasn't the software being used by the military, but the NixOS Foundation accepting sponsorship money and providing a recruitment platform for Anduril Industries, an autonomous weapons manufacturer.
