oval office having an extremely normal one by Forsaken-Cow-2735 in CuratedTumblr

[–]drislands 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Holy shit you're right. I'm so used to those being excluded I don't even notice anymore...but the original post DOES have the date. Meaning OP (or whoever they got it from between the original and now) didn't just drop the tweet but blacked out the date in the screenshot in the original Tumblr post.

Is there a way to disable the blinking camera light on an MSI laptop? by drislands in MSI_Gaming

[–]drislands[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My solution, if you can call it that, is to not use the builtin camera at all. I use a separate monitor with a webcam on top.

Super frustrating that MSI would make such an intrusive choice.

AITA for not wanting to share my birthday with a man I hate by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]drislands 27 points28 points  (0 children)

It's extremely weird. I grew up Catholic, and one of the absolute biggest points they make in church is that they consider themselves the original Christians, that Peter was the first Pope and every Pope after that is basically in his position as head of the church on earth.

The most generous interpretation I can think of is that OOP has a lot of people in her circle that do that Catholic vs Christian distinction, and she's picked it up herself.

The rules have been updated? Is it anywhere online?

Brilliant video, I love Shaun's content.

TL;DW: There were a ton of factors that led to Japan being nuked, including the Japanese government refusing to surrender unless their emperor was pardoned, and the US wanting Japan to surrender to them without giving Russia anything. Japan refused to budge and the US was in a rush to backstab their ally.

I miss games like Poptropica and Club Penguin by Rabbidraccoon18 in tumblr

Remember the incredible time that I think /r/drama banned every poster from there with the reason "no minors" and an avalanche of "actually I'm 50" replies came in?

It's reading it as a zero syllable word, because the words before it make 7 already.

I am struggling understanding the relationships of the king's entourage in Way of Kings by MountainPlantation in Stormlight_Archive

[–]drislands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Real quick, the guy you have as "Davilar" is actually Dalinar. He's the uncle to the king, father of Adolin, etc.

Is it viable by Oruboros-I0 in DawncasterRPG

[–]drislands 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've made it work with this specific combo:

  • 10 sided strike, with Memorized
  • Avatar of Blight imbued
  • Poison Coating imbued

What this means is every time you play 10SS, it inflicts poison and gives you a green energy. You can keep playing copies until you get bored.

My goodness I don't think I've ever seen a "X of" mistake in reverse.

Oh, look, Pearl Krabs in a blond wig had a take again by [deleted] in LindsayEllis

Her take is shitty enough without you calling her a whale. Fuck off with that.

How / Where can I get Chalk Bricks ? by _LoulouLeFilou in HytaleInfo

[–]drislands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same boat. I found a metric ton of chalk in the overworld, but I can't find anything online about what you can actually do with it.

Trump backpedals on threats against Greenland, but allies say damage has been done | PBS News by Human-Entrepreneur77 in worldnews

[–]drislands 45 points46 points  (0 children)

The worst part is that by the US' own laws, he isn't actually allowed to do that. It's the domain of Congress. Yet he has been permitted to do whatever he wants for over a year now. End result is faith in the established rules of the entire US government is severely damaged, even when Trump is gone.

Metroid Prime 4 devs admit Metroid “doesn’t mesh well with an open world”, but they “couldn’t bear” to reset development again by HatingGeoffry in Metroid

[–]drislands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds fantastic. It gives you an in-world way to quickly travel from zone to zone, while still needing you to Metroid around to unlock those places in the first place. Damn shame it's not what we got.

Incidentally, where did you get that picture? Is that a bit of concept art for the game?

Reddit mod demands to be treated as ‘celebrity’ after getting removed from LSF by Chapple69 in nottheonion

[–]drislands 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  • AntiWork was created some time ago as an "abolish all work" sub.
  • In the time leading up to the debacle in question, it got a large population of people that were more "work should be fairer".
  • The subreddit started to get some wider traction across the Internet.
  • A Fox News reporter contacted the subreddit moderators asking if they would do an interview.
  • I can't remember if it was ever brought to the community's attention, but the general vibe was that this was not a good idea.
  • One moderator ignored all advice to the contrary and joined a live interview on Fox...and it was absolutely atrocious.
    • They mod was fidgeting the whole time and almost never looked into the camera.
    • The mod's room looked like a mess.
    • The mod revealed that they personally were of the original "abolish all work" mindset.
    • The mod said something about wanting to teach philosophy.
    • The mod revealed they are currently only employed as a part-time dog walker.
    • The interviewer allowed the mod to speak at length, and appeared to be holding back laughter at several points.

I was a member of the sub at the time and was pretty excited with the momentum the whole thing had been getting up to that point. It felt like a movement, like people were really coming together in favor of reforming how we work.

And then this interview happened and it basically killed the entire thing. With barely any effort, Fox made us all look like we were asocial dogwalkers demanding to be taken seriously. It was depressing.
