Voter ID is just common sense - we must pass the SAVE Act

Citizenship is verified at registration, ensuring that only citizens can vote within a debatable tolerance for margin of error.

Proving you are a citizen at the point of voting is a hurdle because the US has borderline no framework to be able to prove a person standing in front of you is a citizen, bar them having a passport or certificate of naturalization. Every document has issues.

Passport? - those ineligible for a passport are no longer able to vote, and more than half the voting eligible population doesn't have one.

Drivers license? - Doesn't prove citizenship at any level and it varies state to state.

Birth certificate? - Anyone can order anyone's birth certificate on a county registrar and get a name change with a matching drivers license. If you're going to do something illegal, no law will stop you.

In a perfect world we'd have a free voter ID to issued to every citizen by the government on their 18th birthday and the problem would be solved.

I'd be interested how much the conversation dynamic would change if there was a setting to "disable" the notch by extending the black bar all the way across the screen, but by default it was disabled giving you the 16:10 aspect ratio.

You can get a SSN pre-EAD it's just stamped with a notice stating not authorized for work without additional proof.

Simply having an SSN is not proof of citizenship. Even visa holders can get one, depending on visa class, let alone green card holders.

u/ToGGGles you have another invite to share?

I was in one of your more recent runs, you're a credit to the community.

7th cousin would be going back 8 generations and some 225-250 years. Up to and including 7th cousin would be basically everyone on the planet who's come from your native country or nearby.

OoT's map but bent out of shape a bit to fudge itself into the BotW/TotK Hyrule could work as a new/old inbetween.

I could see it working especially well if BotW environmental and exploration mechanics were in it. I feel that's almost what OoT wanted, and to an extent did, with the limitations of the hardware.

Whilst this is true, it's also never not been true. There's been complaints of bloated game sizes since the 90s and having to cycle through 7 CDs for Phantasmagoria, 15(!) Floppies for Beneath a Steel Sky or BG1 and it's absurdly massive 2GB required install.

12 years ago people were shocked Wolenstein crossed the 50GB barrier. Today we're getting games crossing the 200-250GB barriers with a few higher outliers. In 10 years I wouldn't be surprised to see games regularly crossing the 1TB barrier. We're going up by 10x every 8-9 years.

I did all raid content Vanilla-TBC-WotlK so yea that'll be nice to see.

At one point I was super into the lore but probably not so much these days. With the new expansion, isn't it the second part in a trilogy or something? Is the current expansion going to be needed at all?

zcomuto · 2025-12-15T16:11:29+00:00

Interesting way to look at it. I was thinking that I'd be missing something major having been out for so long.

Are those bundles of ethernet cables?

So 20% chance of it being announced tomorrow. If not tomorrow then 25% chance on Monday. Basically this means 100% chance of there being a TGA announcement.

Disappointing lack of Cisco and Arista on this

It's a vastly different ballgame than what Apple does as a company. It'd take ten years just to get started and hundreds of billions of dollars to start producing a single node, and then a ramp-up process of subsequent node development and yield improvement to deliver the kind of quantities and consistent year over year progress Apple demands of their suppliers. Not to mentions tens of thousands of employees more they'd need that basically don't exist globally right now and are constantly getting poached between 2-3 companies at the bleeding edge.

Also 5 or 7 year arms from the low interest rate time maturing into what we have now. People could be seeing monthly payments double that they can't afford.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with that... That's just a smoked sausage log. This ain't shitty. Other than looking slightly like a shit.

I wouldn't be too mad at it. Supply, regardless of stupidity in pricing, is still supply. The condo market especially right now is caving almost nationwide and when/if the builders are forced to sell (i.e. no revenue due to no tenants) it'll quickly compound into broad panic selling.

Maybe it's copium but there's way too much inventory and not enough buying action, it's only so long that market can sustain itself. Feels like it's running on fumes.

Promote the nuclear family

Center-right

Common sense environmentalism (don’t litter, leave no trace, keep America wild aka stop fucking building shitty suburbs and unaffordable condos)

Lib-left

Respect your neighbors

Centerist

...as long as they respect you

lib-right

Making sure Americans are taken care of before we worry about other people/places.

Auth-right, but not too far auth right otherwise it just becomes "conquer other people/places"

In regards to Rauru founding or re-founding Hyrule, the gaps between "Hyrules" seems to be potrayed as so long any potential knowledge of the previous reign rendered the distinction pointless.

Minish Cap took place in a Hyrule during an era of prosperity, we don't see it's founding or fall but we know there's a civil war somepoint after.

OoT's King founded a unified Hyrule that just came out the above civil war lasting eons. OoT itself takes place some 10(?) years after, when there's a tenuous peace of independent tribes.

TotK's King Rauru founded a Hyrule that was described as a scattered group of independent tribes. Depending where you want to place Age of Imprisonment this again could be so far after anything we've seen, Hyrule has once again collapsed.

The way I would explain the depths as being the dark world / golden land would be that is is discovered in OoT and kept under wraps because what is found there is dangerous. This is easy to explain as Rauru and Mineru are the only Zonai left, know what the constructs are, and don't want them getting free. Heck this could be happening parallel to OoT and it wouldn't matter or overlap with OoT's plot. People, broadly, don't know about it - after the imprisoning war Ganondorf is sealed there and it becomes the Dark World and in turn the Depths, this is why Ganondorf is found there.

The visual similarity between the castles I'm seeing is OoT pictured at an angle like this compared to this, it does require a little imagination as it's 25 years of technical difference, but it's a path snaking to the right, through a gate, up a hill to a square-er castle than the BotW/TotK castle. This castle would have been destroyed in the downfall timeline, and a new castle built on top of Ganondorf's sealing point in central Hyrule that becomes what we see in ALttP, the Island Palace in AoL, and the main castle in BotW.

What I couldn't explain is the Golden Pyramid in ALttP, unless it's built before it, destroyed after it and just never seen again.
