I kinda liked it, but there's no denying that it was staggeringly ugly. I think this era of movie making is going to be remembered in the same way as the piss filter of 2010s gaming.

Serious answer: become a nurse, get a job at a neonatal intensive care unit. Newborns are both precious and delicate, and also tough and require manhandling. You'll get plenty of baby-whacking opportunities with parental approval!

I had zero expectations for Burnham, but it's kind of astonishing that his first day was "let's officially go to war with Iran"

We can never hope to achieve the level of disrespect for the Troops that the Pentagon does on the regular data-laughing

Mac, as long as it's not too locked down that you can't install some UI tweaks. Windows is not a serious operating system.

I've come to conclude that it's impossible to have constructive discussions about Stalin with western liberals (and most leftists, too). There's just way too much cultural programming to break through, and you just put yourself at risk of being written off as a crazy person. You're better off talking about the Soviet Union's actual record of human development from the 20's through 50's, and just sidestep the subject of who was nominally in charge during that period.

This post could be from 2016 and titled "How to be less reliant on stackexchange". Suffice to say, our ambition to do stuff on our computers sometimes outruns our technical acumen. I built up my own skillset by just furiously searching through forum posts trying to find the one post where someone had the exact command I needed. I've copy and pasted a lot of shit into the terminal without understanding what it really did.

I think there's a couple things you should do to help build up your own brainpower:

  1. Don't copy and paste stuff into the CLI, actually physically type it out. The contours of the command will actually touch your brain.
  2. Just think about stuff. Give yourself like 45 seconds to think about how you would do something before you ask the AI chatbot. When the AI chatbot is giving you answers, actually read through them and think about whether they make sense.

I'm a little surprised at people in this thread implying a level of political leverage over the NYPD that he obviously doesn't have yet. Mamdani is clearly having to tip-toe around this semi-independent paramilitary operating in the city.

I got her Disco Elysium as well, that should be possible too, right?

Yes, I don't think you need to touch the keyboard. It's basically a visual novel.

If she wants to try something outside her usual genres, I think trying out a Civilization games might be a good option. Civ 5 and 6 can probably be gotten for cheap. The UI is completely mouse-driven, hotkeys are optional.

I haven't even bothered to learn what this guy's face looks like, since he's gonna fuck up and resign anyways.

He loathes his constituents, so that's probably a plus in his mind.

I want to host some LAN parties this winter, and am looking for some Free Software Games that would be a fun time. We already play some Counterstrike and StarCraft 2, but I want to expand into some actual Free games. Windows compatibility is a must, MacOS compatibility is desirable!

The two on my radar are:

  • Hedgewars, which seems like a strong candidate. We played a ton of Worms 2 in the 90s
  • 0 A.D., since we're already fans of RTS games.

But I know there must be some wacky ones out there which would be suitable for 30 minutes of pick up play.

The 2040 plan is mainly an ending of single-family zoning. Anecdotally, I've seen a lot more apartments going up around the Twin Cities in the last few years. The Frey regime are neoliberal ghouls, and this is a classic YIMBY approach to tackling housing shortages. The opponents of this plan are somehow even worse, an astroturfed army of KKKarens.

Choice quote: "Residents of color already face significant barriers to home ownership, which would have been exacerbated under the plan as a result of reduced access to and availability of single family properties," said activist Nekima Levy Armstrong, a member of the plaintiffs' legal team, in a statement calling Tuesday's ruling a "major victory."

What are the Hexbear thoughts on this whole situation?

There's a golf course right next to the Furnace Creek Visitor Center, where everyone is taking their Instagram photos next to the hottest temperatures ever recorded.
