Watership Down… The old one, not the newer remake. Just so much fucked up imagery and awful themes in that. Legitimately gave me nightmares as a kid.

Not really a kid’s movie, but I remember seeing Darkman on TV when I was pretty young and having the image of his horribly burned, disfigured face burned into my memory.

I’m sold.

I wonder how many of those 1999 registered voters would be disenfranchised if this came into effect, but don’t realize it because they didn’t read what ‘documented proof of citizenship’ actually entails…

If they don’t impeach and prosecute with impunity, the whole effort is wasted. Everyone of relevance to the current administration needs to end up in jail by 2028. That’s what we’re voting for in November.

Seems perfectly reasonable. How better to get close to people - looking like you’re cosplaying an assassin, or looking like someone the mark would want to get close to?

Didn’t even try to mask the AI in that image, huh?

Ha… It was intended as a joke, more of a ‘I could have done without being reminded that the image this is referencing exists…’ sort of comment, but it’s clear that it didn’t land. No actual shade was intended to be thrown.

On Friday, government lawyers in the lawsuit filed a court record which said they asked the plaintiffs to remove the videos “from the internet due to concerns that the publication of the videos could subject the witnesses and their family members to undue harassment and reputational harm.” The filing then said that Fox specifically “has been subject to harassment and has received a number of death threats since the videos and video clips were publicized and circulated.”

They caused an untold number of actual, real-world deaths through their actions, but we can’t let them get harassed for it!

Boo fucking hoo.

I know this may come as a shock to some people, but you do not have to buy the latest and greatest parts, and if you stick to parts that’re 1-2 years old, the prices are quite reasonable. Unless you’re doing some really top-end shit on your PC, DDR4 RAM will work just fine for you, and if you are doing something that’s too intensive to work on older parts, then discussion about “decent” gaming PCs doesn’t really apply to you.

Chair legs, table legs and shorts are dead giveaways.

Wow, and to think you could have just… not posted this, and yet you chose to anyway…

I mean, excluding temporary price jumps that affect the entire industry like the current RAM and storage shortage… I assumed that was obviously implied.

Here’s the thing: you don’t need the newest, greatest graphics card. I’ve managed just fine for my entire life by never spending more than $800 or so on new PCs. (When I upgrade, I typically just replace everything and have a second PC, rather than replacing half of it and having spare parts). Do I have the best and latest? No, absolutely not, but I also said a “decent” gaming PC, not “the best PC money can buy”. Certainly comparable to - or better than - current gen consoles.

Consoles honestly don’t even feel necessary at all anymore. It used to be that you got better performance compared to a similarly priced PC, but that’s not really the case anymore; console prices just keep going up, and the price of a decent gaming PC hasn’t really changed much in the last 15 years. Even things like the Switch are largely invalidated by hand-held PC gaming solutions. Maybe it’s just time the consoles die off.

how the fuck was I supposed to search for it?

Whatever you do, DON’T.

I don’t think you have a very good understanding of what ‘proof’ is.

No, I’m aiming to remove the objection. This seems like the easiest way to accomplish that.

If this results in the AAA games industry dying and having a full reset in a couple years when this all blows over, I don’t think that’s a bad thing. I don’t think indie games are going anywhere, so it’s not like we won’t have anything new to play, and AAA studios have just become so generally awful that there wouldn’t be any great loss there.

I support giving everyone extra days off ‘just because’, actually, but that’s beside the point. The problem as stated in the article was that employers perceive disproportionate days off as a reason to not hire women; the obvious solution is to just remove that from the equation. I wasn’t aware that giving men days off somehow harms women, but apparently I just don’t understand.

Sounds easily solvable by just giving everyone those mandatory days off regardless of gender… Then there’s no employer preference towards men, and no perceived hardships created.
