I mean I guess a food bank would have food already as well… They are both one time use consumable supplies so, whether they have them or not, they are going to have to resupply at some point.

Honestly I think the biggest issue in law enforcement in general… is human testimony has this kind of weight to begin with. This guy was convicted of murder… with apparently the entirety of the evidence against him being “a criminal said he did it”.

Even if the penalty was JUST 20 years in prison, and death penalty wasn’t on the table, that’s so wrong to me. 1 man’s word is not a reliable way to confirm anything. People have garbage memories, and can lie.

Agreed we can’t tell which way the flip is… and that’s kind of the crux of the issue… The evidence was unverifiable from day 1. So even if the death penalty was never on the table… this man had nearly 30 years of his life taken away… on literally one persons word, to top it off that one person was confirmed to be a criminal.

So yeah there’s 2 major giant red flags to our justice system in this case. 1. The terribleness of death penalty to begin with. But 2. the idea of a single eye witnesses word having the ability to take decades of someone’s life away,

Umm… is this post edited or something. I’m seeing

Donating canned goods to food pantries is like donating needles and syringes to a cancer research organization

I don’t see the word “used” in it. So, it sounds like he’s saying donating medical supplies to an organization that does medical research?

To which I’d say yes both seem helpful to an organization that helps people in need.

The point isn’t that not voting for harris is really an option. the point is to actually encourage the party to do the right thing. Least so far the “uncommited” group has been on the elections that dont’ matter, the polls etc…

Point is you need some level of power. You don’t exactly have a bargaining position when you walk up to the officials and say “stop killing people or I’ll vote for you anyway”. I mean I get it, we live in a fake democracy… we’re given the choice of someone who’s bad on the issue, or someone who’s worse on the issue.

Honestly on the whole I applaud Harris, she’s actually at least paying lip service to hearing people out, and pushing for a cease fire. It’s the least you can do, but it’s more than biden did, and there’s at least an inkling of hope she’ll actually follow it up.

I mean that’s kind of crazy hyperbole… RFK Jr, is still a crazy who only appeals to a tiny portion of people. Biden would continue to lose ground to trump, but I imagine he’d have probably held the popular vote, but remain losing in all the states that matter for the election.

Considering that’s a percentage of steam users… I do believe mac/windows is what’s actually counted against. Unless I missed where steam can be installed on an oak tree.

Or turned off the monitor and turned it back on.

I do agree on the whole, It’s the next phase of automation. The real problem stems from the fact that we hold onto the system where a tiny handful of people get the full benefit of the productivity, while the others are paid in time incriments which value goes down with demand, so as more jobs are automated or assisted (to allow more work with less people), supply demand devalues the labor.

But won’t you think of the children!! Think of how many kids have never seen a poorly drawn penis and have to have their first experience looking down at a pothole.

I do wonder if anyone actually did say a charting on wanksy’s city… (IE city claims that it had no influence on their decision to fill potholes, but it was aknowledged that some are getting filled. Realistically that should involve a test, Wanksy should have found 10 potholes, penis’d in 5 of them, quietly took note of 5 and put on his list… Then anonymously slipped that information to a journalist with instructions not to publish for 2 weeks. At which point he’d analyze the 10 potholes and report back which ones were filled.

My point is, there needs to be more scientific rigor with the penis drawings.

Honestly I haven’t heard any of my right wing coworkers etc… talk about this particular company, but I have heard a lot of elon worship from them. IE I hear a lot of them talk about how he’s gone so pro free speach with twitter. (and they tend to ignore me when I point out that he’s censoring every bit as much as the old twitter, he’s just nicer to the nazis and less nice to the left.

You don’t have to worry about that, It’s an Elon Musk owned product, he already solved that with TwiXer. He just has to make sure that Nazi’s can send their propoganda to your brain, and then advertisers will stay very far away from the neuro link.

Point is it’s a stroke of a pen to change the priority… One president or one DEA switch away. The supreme court upheld Roe V Wade which was why it wasn’t important to codify it into law… until it was.

I’ve been out of the loop for a whie, but in godot, dialogic was amazing. Least it was back in 3.5.

https://github.com/coppolaemilio/dialogic

IMO set him up with some of the modern engines and tutorials… Godot 4, Unreal etc…

actually if you are looking for some stuff to have ready for him.

If he has access to youtube there’s also lots of really good tutorials etc… out there. Heartbeast has some awesome ones for godot etc…

Bottom frame is a scene from Rick and Morty. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ht-ZyJOV2k

Right, but the point is, it may very well be that they were difficult to catch without going into harm on the other side (IE in say 9/11’s case having the bar set so high that they’d have grounded air traffic for 15 false positives before actually stopping the attack). Likewise say JFK or MLK’s assassinations, also probably infeasible, having to widen perimeter or advance security on quite a large distance from where they were traveling and speaking.

In epstiens case though, it seems like a high profile national news level criminal like himself. could have very easily been sent to a much better guarded prison, not taken off suicide watch etc… IE it seems like all the red flags were there that he would have killed himself if he could… and he was left in a situation where doing so was not difficult, and the cost of ensuring he didn’t kill himself would have been pretty low. It’s one dude that’s expected to stay in captivity, on a case that the whole world was watching. Not really that infeasible to have a 24/7 rotation that has one person dedicated to him at all times.

Well I mean the biggest thing that would be the ultimate ideal would be anything that can maximize the ability to bring existing unity projects over to godot. IE minimal refactoring needed.

Big thing is not just getting people to start their new projects, but what about those who have spent 3+ years mastering their game, only to have the rug pulled out from under them when it was 80% of the way to release worthy.

To me I think majority of conspiracy murder… still may have merit, without actually lifting a finger.

IMO I don’t think the real question is “did the government establish a hit on JFK, MLK, The twin towers etc…”.

but rather, did someone in power get a note saying “this is likely to happen and here’s how to prevent it”, and it get burried.

Passwords you can remember is a problem if you have multiple sites.

While I love XKCDs HorseBatteryStaplerOkay! strategy… that works well for 4-5 passwords, if you have 20+ passwords you’ll pretty much wind up re-using, and if it turns out one of the 20 sites had garbage protection and gets fully hacked, any sites you used the same is also going to be vulnerable.

Personally still gotta say go with keepass or bitwarden (selfhosted if possible).

Umm… pirating windows is your recomended solution?

Look don’t get me wrong I could say it’s if anything more cost effective for simply the dev’s to say “OK anyone who has more than 1 hour of linux play time prior to this date qualifies for a refund”.

Of which, most likely is a handful of people so easy work.

Screw privacy sensitivity that’s a moot point. Installing windows isn’t a minor tweak to a computer .First of all the suggested method is technically breaking the law. Secondly you are talking minimum adding in a windows partition, so an extra 50 GB storage on top of the amount the game takes. Comprimizes to the boot loader on the system, in which there’s a high chance of messing up an existing install.
