I used to use Brave, now I use Librewulf.
I wish I could be more helpful and tell you why I switched. I remember it was nothing major, just some quibble I had with Brave (and I still primarily try to use search.brave.com over any other search engine), so I don't think you can go wrong with either. But I can't remember the exact reason I had for moving over.
Gawain and the Green Knight is queer
Excuse me. The Green Knight was beheaded, he didn't hang himself.
No, you were correct originally. She's not his wife during the events of the game, though it's heavily implied that he intends to marry her near the end.
Well, no, not necessarily. Being born into the caste is certainly the most common and easiest way of being samurai, but people definitely were "promoted" to being samurai if they performed some exemplary deed. Or were a foreigner a high-ranking daimyo took a liking to.
Hell, one of the most important samurai figures in all of feudal Japan, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, started life as a peasant, was promoted to samurai and then one of the most historically impactful daimyos in Japanese history, shogun in all but name.
Ironically, his birth as a peasant was the reason he couldn't become shogun (he had none of the necessary bloodlines). But samurai, that was definitely possible. Uncommon, but possible.
Mr Maddox was charged under the unamended 1972 laws for building a creek crossing on his property, which the prosecution claimed had disrupted Waugul — a rainbow serpent central to mythology for Noongar people — as he removed a large amount of silt from the creek, Sky News Australia reported.
Please tell me I'm reading this incorrectly. Please tell me the man isn't actually being prosecuted for mildly inconveniencing a non-existent, imaginary entity.
If you want your own national anthem, make your own nation.
Jesus Christ, it's like I'm looking at a greasy wax statue of a hybrid between some sort of hook-nosed bird, a pair of big red tube balloons masquerading as lips, and a very, very ugly woman.
I need a trigger warning for that kind of nightmarish vision.
“A few months ago, Sega management announced their plan to outsource QA and part of localisation in a move that would significantly impact our workforce,” the union said. “We’ve been fighting back on these terms since then, but today the layoff that will result in the loss of 61 jobs across these two departments was made public.”
Archive.is fucked up the site a bit, but the important quote is still there.
The only idiots who would vote on someone based on Taylor Swift's endorsement are stupid leftist women who would have voted for Biden regardless.
But I repeat myself.
I'm pretty legitimately shocked. I didn't think such a thing would be possible in the UK now. The only thing the story is missing is word that the "trainer" was fired for causing such a shitstorm and costing the bank over a million dollars.
A man can dream.
You can probably pull inspiration from either Smite or Kaneko/SMT for some of these designs.
If you're looking for a home media server application, I'd go with Jellyfin over Plex. That's what I use. It's open source, completely free, entirely self-hosted, and operates perfectly without any connection to the outside internet.
The treatment technology is similar to the process used for desalinating seawater, but recycling wastewater requires less energy and is less costly than turning saltwater into freshwater. Polhemus said the costs for purifying wastewater will probably be about half the costs of desalinating ocean water.
I call bullshit. There is no way filtering out piss, shit, vomit, dissolved pills, and drugs is any less expensive than boiling and filtering fucking seawater.
Pretentious is the best thing I could say about it if I was being polite.
If I was speaking straight, I would say it reads like the author is getting off on intentionally being "unique" and all you end up reading is what pseudo-artistic rambling spunk ends up on the page after he's done masturbating.
I'm reading through the first two Hawk and Fisher omnibuses. Pretty decent fantasy setting focused on a married city guard duo (the eponymous Hawk and Fisher). I'm enjoying them for what they are. It's got all the standard fantasy fare you expect, and the two lead characters are enjoyable.
Which is good, because the last two books I read before that are horrible. The first was House of Leaves, which I first started trying to read about a decade ago, but hated so much that I put it down halfway through. About a year ago I started fresh with it, hoping something about my feelings would have changed, but if anything I just hated it even more. I did force myself to finish it (it took almost the full year), because I have a longstanding personal rule about finishing every physical book I start. As a comparison, the combined Hawk and Fisher omnibuses are about as big as House of Leaves, but I got through 1 and a half of those in less than two months.
The other book was The Atrocity Archives, which I thought had a very interesting premise. Imagine the SCP foundation without the recent idiocy of the past few years, but the view of the government agency in the setting is less, "What the fuck is this?" and more, "You found a dimension-hopping quasit that reversed gravity in your kitchen and turned your dog inside out? Fill out form TFR-72a and wait in line, your number will get called." But the book itself is so entranced with its own made-up pseudoscience jargon it uses to "explain" the roots of the events ("A quasit uses Neo-Darwinian thermodynamics to reverse the root of the gravitational constant, which is how it reversed gravity" and shit like that) and that just makes everything in it a slog. Great premise, I just couldn't stand the execution. I'll force myself to finish it one of these days.
I can't watch it right this minute. Did he actually say that? I heard about someone getting fired over the leak, I have to guess it's related to Crowder letting this slip?
Invidious still works for me. If you have some technical know-how you can even get it set up to run locally so you're not depending on anyone else keeping the service up for you.
If I were charitable, I would say you could argue that a judge might think, "This is a pronoun case, meaning at least one of these people is mentally ill about pronouns and might try to cancel me. I better ask everyone about their pronouns just so it looks like I care so I don't get cancelled."
I am, however, no longer a charitable man.
Caught him reading an MRA site
How? He was either doing it on a work device, in which case he's actually an idiot, or he was doing it on a personal device, and if everything else said in this story is true he wouldn't have let you anywhere near him.
overheard him telling the truth
Again, how? Anyone with two brain cells who (rightfully) believes that the vast majority of women are hired for affirmative action because they're a special class also realizes that they're not allowed to mention that women are only hired for affirmative action because they're a special class.
It's like saying you work in big banking and you caught one of the hedge fund managers complaining that, "Man, there sure are a lot of jews." Everyone who knows about it and has an issue with it also knows that there's no way they're allowed to complain about it in a work setting (or even work-adjacent).
If black people were always in Europe, why would we have travelled to Africa to enslave the ones there? There should have been plenty available right next door.
Yes, wanting information about the political leanings of a company that I am depending on to keep my private property safe from a political entity is the exact same as being mad about being anti-buttsex.
It's not as though roughly everything you could want to know about a company's inclination towards ratting you out to the feds would be discernible from which feds they bootlick.
At this point, companies should be required to publically post in a public, easily-accessible manner all donations made, publically or privately, by any executives. Front page on their company website.
Nowadays I care more about that information than I do the fucking health department scores in a restaurant.

Feel free to scan through the video until you reach the part with black people proudly proclaiming you need to wash your chicken with name-brand bleach or else it won't taste right.
Niggas bleaching they chicken.
I liked it overall. In general the story is enjoyable, characters are a mixed bag. The romances start a bit too early as well. But I liked the different routes (even if they all end up doing the same thing for 80% of the game), and the mythic feats are an interesting second level of character building.
I'm going to spend the rest of the post bitching about design decisions, though.
Major complaints: Every single "non-DnD" system they put into their games drags horribly to the point of being better left on auto (Kingdom management in Kingmaker, Crusade management in Wrath, I'm sure there will be something similar in Rogue Trader).
Needing to rebuff yourself so constantly in the early game is an annoyance to the point that the BubbleBuff mod that handles buffing with a single click went from "nice QoL" to "absolute requirement" after my first playthrough.
I'm always annoyed when the best companions you can take for higher difficulties are always custom hirelings. Let me respec story characters from level 1 (mostly a problem on first playthrough, after you already know the story the party banter is less important).
And the demon city is just fucking annoying. I get the idea of a city of chaos adjusting its layout based on camera angle, but it's just a nuisance. I dread it each playthrough.
Never heard of The Void, but now that I look at it, it makes me wonder if a VR Escape Room experience would be successful.
