to spite entropy

he absolutely carried Stargate Atlantis, it was weird to see him in Aquaman

Aquaman. the visual effects were ridiculous, the characters were one-dimensional, the soundtrack was…something, and the overall tone was that of a testosterone firehose to the face. i said the eight deadly words about halfway through, and i was thoroughly bored out of my mind despite action scene after action scene after action scene…the only reason why i didn’t just get up and leave was because i was watching with a group

he’s gonna stiff the contractors? great, now all his teleprompters are going to be broken

anything but the metric system

post title is misleading. it won’t make criticizing Israel illegal, but it will be legally considered hate

that’s all well and good, but one of the two will get in office no matter what. might as well suck it up and vote for the lesser evil.

besides, you said yourself which one you’d prefer. you’d flee the country if Trump got into office, and you acknowledge that the Democrats can be shamed into doing the right thing (unlike the Republicans). if it makes the choice more palatable, think of it not as a vote for someone but a vote against someone. not voting at all is complicity.

would you rather Trump be in office instead?

this was on purpose. the World Central Kitchen notified the IDF about their movement, and their vehicles were clearly marked. there is no way this was an accident. the IDF purposely killed aid workers delivering food to Gaza. if this isn’t an indicator of their genocidal intentions, i don’t know what is

the shit is posting

they are so much more than that. Builder for example has a full tree view of your project, instant compiling (well, instant in the sense that the compile button is always accessible and you don’t have to leave the application to do it), live preview for markup languages, Git integration, unit tests, profiling, and several other things I can’t remember right now. so no, an IDE is an entirely different beast from a text editor

the ones I build. I have to admit the Switch is really fun, but at the end of the day it’s just another DRM machine. I’d rather have a rig sitting somewhere that I built to my exact specifications, that I can connect to from wherever, and that will run whatever I want

on the other hand, there could be an enemy of my enemy situation, because everyone in the Middle East hates Israel (and for good reason too: not only is Israel run by genocidal fucks, but they stole everyone’s land). it’s not impossible that Jordan, Egypt, and neighboring countries would gang up on Israel.

don’t forget the part after “open crypto app” where you find out your favorite coin crashed overnight and you now have 29 cents

I’m not gonna speculate on what you’re buying, but I’m afraid you’re gonna get involved with shady people no matter what if you’re using cryptocurrency. the entire industry is in the midst of a cascade failure thanks to Three Arrows Capital going toes up, and con artists and thieves are cashing in. cryptocurrency exchanges are using their own customers’ money for not-so-good purposes, stablecoins are rapidly losing their pegs, and it seems like a bridge gets cracked every other day. my advice? if you don’t want to deal with shadiness, you really shouldn’t use cryptocurrency at all.

Outer Wilds: Echoes of the Eye. i can handle horror just fine, but Echoes of the Eye is on entirely another level of horror than most everything else. i was only able to complete about a third of it before i got too psyched out to continue

I’m not too keen on Tomorrowland. it’s got a lot of great man theory messages in it, which isn’t surprising since it was written and directed by Brad Bird, a notorious Objectivist

if you're looking for a nice ultraportable, System76 has you covered

i'm not informed much either, but here's what i gather; it's centralized around the proprietary Snap Store and you can't run your own Snap repositories, Snap apps take ages to start up, and each Snap app is mounted as a separate partition (???). there's a whole bunch of technical issues that go over my head too, and Snaps have seen so little adoption that Canonical basically had to twist the arms of flavor maintainers to drop Flatpak support and support Snap out of the box. it's evidently so bad even Ubuntu's official flavors wouldn't support it until Canonical forced them to
