You read:

This shift follows China’s diplomatic push targeting the Global South

And you somehow thought they were talking about Europe?

Let's hope that US senators and congresspeople can give the wittle baby a big new idea to distract him from starting WW3 in a way that minimizes collective suffering.

So SEGA and Konami (the corporation) knew about it. Let's assume that. Are there records or interviews (from studios, individual developers, games historians, etc.) from that time on record saying they played and enjoyed it?

Simultaneous/independent invention in a highly experimental and novel industry is way more likely to me, but if you can produce some sort of proof of influence on studios that explicitly iterated on what 005 did, then that's much more convincing than a Guinness World Record that only "proves" they were first (historically, they did barely any fact-checking and, in some cases, you could bribe them).

It also hurts the credibility of the article for it to say "people liked it," and then not link to any sources like reviews or sales numbers. How can I know that anyone liked it unless I do independent verification of these claims? It's striving to be informative but with a "trust me bro" type of approach.

We didn't make a czar, we are changing the title of a position that already exists. Just because Trump is a bully doesn't mean he can't be placated by sweet nothings that caress his ego.

If Trump wants to play a game, we can play too. If you think that's rolling over, that's a you problem. Trump is obviously using this situation to allow him to declare a false national emergency to bypass Congress. These actions are technically illegal under both US and international law.

In a world where lying had consequences, this wouldn't be happening. To expect Trudeau to fight back aggressively against a nation with the most powerful military in the world while it's controlled by the most volatile and capricious politician in modern history is to expect it to rain cream soda - i.e., it's stupid.

One thing that I used to do is something mentally stimulating, like a crossword or some Tetris or planning next week's meals. Or you could read a chapter of a book.

Maybe Linux Lite? It's based on Ubuntu LTS and the default DE is XFCE but you could replace it with LXDE or whatever you want.

Oh, interesting; that wasn't my experience at all. There were popular/preppy girls that played sports, but there was a separate type of girl that played multiple sports and made it, like, part of their identity like the guys did. Didn't really have a name for them, though.

I guess "jock" would work for a girl/woman, but if you said "I hooked up with a jock last night," everyone would assume you meant a guy. So it's not really a gender neutral term.

Ah, so it's so you can edit out inappropriate stuff for your kids or students or something? Yeah, that's hard.

You'd think there'd be some sort of extension or database with a crowdsourced filtering system like SponsorBlock for this purpose where you could just look up the timestamps for the stuff you don't want. I don't have a reason to edit out content so I haven't looked into whether such a thing exists or not.

Edit: Check out Clean Media Player or Movie Content Filter. It looks like one of them might have at least some of what you're looking for.

In my area, that's a word for popular/materialistic girls, not athletic ones. I think OP means to find a term for girls who are athletic, not for the stereotypical girl "equivalent" (i.e., not a girl like Cher from Clueless).

When you take away the spoons, the only choice left is between ~~pitch~~forks and knives. Metaphorically. In Minecraft.

Why bother with screen recording Prime when you could torrent it? I feel like I'm missing something.

Is there any reason you want a self-hosted service for this rather than making an account with TMDB or TVDB? Trakt fetches all of its metadata from those 2 sites (it prioritizes TMDB).

Not that you shouldn't self-host an alternative, but you don't have to.
