Friend of mine said this when JP 2 came out. Ruined the whole series for me after that.

The first one had some of the plot from the book. Everything after has about as much plot as a porno where instead of butts or dicks or boobs, it's screams.

Even better:

Win + Space (Win or Super + Space in Linux also) changes keyboard languages. I'm not seeing that anywhere in here either.

Holy fuck, that's criminally stupid.

Sort of, but of certainly not universal. I use common keyboard shortcuts all the time, but don't know what the one OP was taking about was before just now.

But, older folks seem to never, ever use things like Ctrl+C or Ctrl+P, which drives me crazy. But I've also seen people in the last few years who double click links on websites, and aren't retired yet.

Ultimately, YMMV.

Globally, this is becoming a thing. Many states have digital IDs already.

Realistically, both paper with a chip or QR code should be valid for a while.

The color blue is not for rent, they're giving that shit away.

Yes, I understand the difference between communicable and noncommunicable disease.

The point is that media also rarely talk about these things, and people are not great at taking steps to mitigate their risk. Lots of things we can prevent, or not, still cause us lasting harm. But because those things are mundane, they are not clickbait-y enough to warrant regular coverage.

I made the same journey during COVID, ultimately arriving at a similar place that the Nicene Creed was the first in a long line of obvious retconned political and human decisions. For what is worth, I also feel like it's in the same vein as most of what Paul did, codifying and standardizing to the detriment of the source material and to the benefit of anyone willing to take charge.

I'm still genuinely shocked that anyone can read the Gospels and then not see the record-scratch pivot in tone for everything else afterwards. Well, shocked in as far as to then be disappointed at how easily a mess of addenda created something antithetical to a bunch of nebulous good vibes with no clear avenue to monetize it all.

Which, oddly enough, Buddhism does as well, but owns it as part of the process.

If a company is publicly traded, then all leaked individuals are given 50.1% controlling stock in the company, split among the victims with new stocks created for them, with unclaimed stocks held in a trust controlled by anyone that did respond to claim stocks. They can sell the stocks, or drive the company into the ground out of spite. Maybe even both.

Companies not publicly traded have 3 months to make all code used, trademarked material, and patents open source in perpetuity, and 1 year to convert their corporate structure into a non-profit.

Regardless of the size of the company, the CEO, CTO, and board must eat their weight in fried bugs. They get to pick the type of bug from a list of 5 options, and any seasoning they want. Live streams of the bug eating will be monetized and the proceeds given to orphans, under the title of "It's not a bug, its a feature."

Yeah, but so can alcohol, smoking, microplastics, and red meat. Heart disease is back to being the #1 killer of Americans, and humans still prioritize fear over serial killers and Bird Flu rather than heart disease and car accidents.

Humans are notoriously bad at assessing risk. It's a lot of work to overcome our cognitive biases.

This is the actual analysis the infographic should present. The ratio of income to debt is more revealing. All of Alabama can be up to their eyes in debt and this would miss that fact simply because their average income is lower.

Simply having dollar figures means practically nothing other than for a few smooth-brained people to look at the state where they live, see a number that isn't as much as they owe, and sigh that it could be worse.

I always loved the Yuppies next door played by Tasha Yar and Reg Barclay.
