Bonewheel Skeletons: “Look at what they need to mimic even a fraction of our power!”

Hmm, I thought the Biden administration had successfully pushed it up to some pittance like $11 or something. Or at least that was my recollection. Consider me corrected.

Nintendo alleges that they plagiarized their assets.

The thing is, there was a solid argument to be made that some of the meshes for certain Pals were too similar to that of some Pokémon models to be a coincidence, but Nintendo didn’t bring any of that up in the lawsuit. They opted to go for the much more flimsy “riding a character” and “summoning a character by throwing a ball/sphere”.

Investors don’t care about games as art, they carr about games as a vehicle for making money.

If they are pushing for AI in games, it’s because they think it will make them money, not because they think it will be good for games.

Comatose

Hey, I don’t know if this is how you want to hear this, but 20k/yr is far below the poverty line in the United States. I don’t know if you are self employed/entrepreneurial but that comes out to just above $10/hr, which is below even the federal minimum wage requirements.

Everything will get worse a lot slower than it is right now.

Trump won’t be able to make any progress with legislation, but neither will the Dems, because they won’t have a veto-proof majority.

Some bad stuff will still get done, likely as a result of Dems being foolish enough to attempt to compromise with Republicans, at which point literally any concession beyond what would otherwise be a complete and utter stalemate is declared as a win by the right wing. The conservatives will not reciprocate in any meaningful way.

The other way bad stuff will still happen is that we will still have problems in our country that need solving, but there will be no incentive for Republicans or Democrats to actually work together to solve them, so minor fixable problems will fall by the wayside until at least the next presidential election year when they’ve become too large and costly or inconvenient to ignore and the problems caused by government inaction then become political footballs for each side to blame on the other.

Hi, I upvoted your post, so when’s the wedding? 😏

I’d gather them up and melt them down into ingots, then sell the ingot for scrap. It would probably become a net loss overall, but anything to rid the nation of that insufferable traitor’s visage on our currency.

I thought the war was supposed to be over in two weeks?

Congratulations, idiot Republicans. You’ve started another forever war, even after you specifically voted for the guy who promised not to start any more forever wars. What are you gonna do about it?

I had an idea pop in my head and I don’t know if it’s feasible or not, but maybe the next nascent social media network can try it out, who knows.

Private trackers for torrenting are notoriously hard to get invitations to, specifically because the only way to get in is through joining the community early, limited time windows to register, or some sort of lottery system, but most people get in when one of their friends sends them one of their limited number of invitations - which they don’t do lightly because if you invite a leecher it harms your reputation and both you and the person you invited can get banned even if you are still maintaining a positive ratio.

So what if we implemented a similar kind of system? Bots can’t flood a system if the registration is closed access, but regular people can still get invitations from friends and family. But if you invite a bot, that bot account and the account that invited it get terminated simultaneously, taking out two bad actors for the price of just one. Heck, if you really wanted to go scorched earth, every account that was registered via an invitation from the person who initial invited the bot should also get terminated. Know who you are inviting and you won’t have any problems, but if you use your ability to invite people recklessly, your entire social network gets kicked off the platform.

This would probably never get implemented in a serious social media platform because those spaces rely on explosive growth to compete with other more established networks, and limiting the number of users is counterproductive - I think at some point investors would just start telling management to open the floodgates and let the bots in already.

Trump playing Quantum Multidimensional Parcheesi.

That was just the standard attractive white male actor in the 90s. Even Pierce Brosnan had that cut when he was James Bond.

Also, I think the sides are a little too long and the top not nearly curly enough to be considered a broccoli cut, but I’m also quite blind to these sorts of fashion trends so maybe I’m wrong.

Every kid who owned this set tried to take it into the bathtub and realized immediately that it did not float 😅

Wow, I owned that exact set as a kid.

Stings a bit knowing I could have sold it for a down payment on a house 30 years later.

AI wasn’t the NFT killer, right click > saveas killed it at the very moment of conception.

Digital scarcity is a complete joke.

tried to unlock my tragic backstory

No wait, tell the locksmith to come back.

With the exception of Mary Trump, this entire bloodline is cursed beyond belief. Small wonder that the kids in the family grow up to be little clones of their shitty parents.

Nonsense! He can just push the “Lower Gas Prices” button that Biden refused to push for his entire term! It really is that simple, folks.

And what do you suppose happens to all those civilians whose economy is now in shambles? Assuming they aren’t killed in the missile strikes, that is.
