Not a hot take at all. It was revolutionary for the first year it was released and then was quickly surpassed on every front by any company that put slightly more effort (and more cost) into any part of the switch: graphics, sensors, controllers, expandability, etc. Pretty stock for any Nintendo product, because they only focus on hardware that be produced mass-market and get good profit margins on. Which means it's often made with current-to-dated components that can get overlooked because it's the only platform you can play Nintendo games on. Also, not sure why they are so allergic to ergonomics, all the way back to the NES controller, the least comfortable controller of its peers

Oh, absolutely. You just need to distinguish cursing from swearing. Cursing is directly tied to blasphemy, such as "God damn you". Swearing is all coarse, crude, impolite language that typically includes cursing. So yeah, it's more about how down you are with blasphemous language -- how religious you are, the people around you, etc. In America, that's usually pretty high, and it's more about accommodating the sensitivity of the people around you than anything else

It's kind of a one-two punch since they may have confused the group with the actual Houthi tribe they're named after? Anyway, "race" can encompass cultures too when they are significant enough, i mean, plenty of European states get racist at each other when they're practically the same genetics

Best thing about this is that it is canonically true; "Cameron believed that cops, institutionalized in a system that encourages them to abuse their power, were a perfect representation of the inhumanity that led to the creation of murderous robots." https://screenrant.com/terminator-2-movie-james-cameron-t1000-police-officer-reason/

My crew had fun with Tribes of Midgard for a while but to be honest you'll need more than 5 people :)

Welcome to the world of civil court decisions :(

If it had been a criminal defamation case, then it would be criminally enforcable... but all this really means is "a judge ruled you need to pay" and if you don't pay, then you could sue them again for not paying, and it just goes in a loop over and over again. I have a friend whose family has been in a loop like this in civil court over a bad real estate venture for decades with someone who simply ignores the rulings.

It hangs over the head of the person who did it, but in the end it's mostly just a "it's on your permanent record" kind of stain which can stop people from working with you and damage your personal life, but it's not like the kind of people who would work with Alex Jones don't know who they're working with.

exactly.

removing one thing from a pile != removing the entire pile.

b/c the original goal was to not disturb the rest of the pile

The toggle is off which means it's not currently getting backed up

If the question is why would it take ~900MB if you turned it back on, I'd assume that it's not marking offlined files as purgeable, which would exclude them from backup

OTOH some might say this is the better experience with a full backup after a critical data loss -- to have all the files you previously marked as offline available immediately after you've done a restore from an iCloud backup 🤷🏾‍♂️
