I argue outside of Taiwan, that it was more popular in the west coast and Hawaii before it ever exploded in popularity in the 2000s in China. Yeah it was around in the mid 90s but most people didn't have the disposable income to enjoy it until China had their economic boom and more people moved from rural areas to work in the city.
Bubble Tea shops recently reached saturation right as their economy is failing. It grew about 250% between 2016 to 2020.
Honestly, it's the younger generation that embrace the drink, hardly something to take cultural ownership of. If anything it's more western, created in Taiwan thanks to American influence. So suck it China.
But what the fuck does he know? He's an actor.
Those with Tesla P40s enjoy tea and the long wait.
I dislike Apple but am envious of their unified memory, not enough to buy their overprice devices. I'll just see what this space is like in 2 years. No reason to jump in this early.
The holidays right around the corner, surely there should be some halfway decent sales during that time. It's not as good as it used to be since retailers wised up but there's still money to be saved.
I'd recommend wait, there's always deals to be had, unless you're worry about supply disruption then fomo and buy now.
Personally, currently on 3060 and holding out for 5060 or 5070 but not loving the vram specs based on rumors. It's insane they given us 3060 with 16gb for $100 more while 5060 is gonna be 8gb and 5070 at 12gb. What is this? 2021? Sure I love gaming, but being able to run AI locally is an added value to my gpu purchase. Guess I'll just wait and see.
Imagine a forge hive management sim, so much potential. In my head I'm imagining indie style with early Paradox vibes. But know it's gonna be fucking Fallout Shelter with "Limited Time 100 Emperor's Blessings and 12 Relic Crates for only $89.99" vibes.
Only way we're stopping things like this is if we create AR glasses that AI deepfake the clothes off women within your field of vision.
how will that prevent AI glasses that identifies individuals?
Do it, just... just trust me okay?
I don't remember if it was in the lawsuit but I think it was where the employees kept going up to her and asking something like what the hell do you do around here anyways? And they had to move her to another position since she was holding up a slot that is needed for an actual lawyer. (iirc IANAL read the lawsuit yourself.)
and she claims was texted by Brock who tells her to film herself pissing and she did and sent it to him.
People quit the fry line at McDonalds for less. How about just say no and quit your fucking job? But nope, kept going in spite the mental health decline and whatever. I don't want to go long but that's my issue with her lawsuit, it only mattered when she stopped getting paid? Not exactly a victim in my book. More like an on-the-books whore.
What are they bringing to the table other than a rebranded fork?
I love to be proven wrong and I wish them the best. But the jaded doomer in me tells me this is just a reaction of some guy who got big mad and after an angry nap that github is gonna be collecting dust.
And if that's not enough to earn your downvotes: I'm going back to Gamemaker 2 wahahahaha!
My theory is that the problem isn't even that they're woke, or even they took a side. the problem is that people don't like it when a brand or product go woke, pick a side, any side, and act flippant about it. It's the flippantness from the cm that got them heat.
Reminds me of when Stable Diffusion 3 was released and it sucked a huge cock and people were disappointed for all sorts of reasons. Over promise, under-deliver, long delay, API only release for over a month, lower weight release, and cronenbergs.
But what really fucking lit the dumpster fire that is Stable Diffusion was an employee tweeting and trolling people on twitter and telling people to prompt better. That shit went off hard, it went from funny to angry fast.
now r/stablediffusion is a Flux sub-reddit.
I invested some time learning Godot in my exodus from Unity and Gamemaker. It's a damn shame but not unexpected. I don't know how much it's the devs or community manager they hired that's spewing such retarded rhetoric but I'm done supporting them until they do some backtracking.
I have published games on android and pc before, fun commercial failures, and currently demoing some ideas using godot and I always said when and if it makes money, I will give godot foundation the same bad unity deal that made me switch in the first place. (0.20 cent per "install" in this case copy sold and 2.3% if it really went hard.)
Now I'm going to do the same but that money will go to charities of my choosing and I'll let them know it too, and I PROMISE you those charities will not be the ones "Wokot" would be happy with.
So thank Godot for lighting a fire under my ass and give me the motivation I need to get back to the hobby.
Edit: 20 minutes later... I'm going back to gamemaker, as of last year the full version is non-commercial free to try, $99 for professional commercial with android and ios port, and 80 bucks a month enterprise for console porting. Sounds like a lot less of a headache in the long run..
OP never mention the female character had to be... not a crazy violent sadomasochist pyromaniac nutcase. I didn't watch the later seasons but didn't she roll over for most people in the show? You can be a submissive, meek and also a crazy bitch.
they wouldn't hurt him physically on camera but there was active hunts for him and they did the japanese thing of going "HUH! HUH! NEEEYYYYY!" and intimidated him into a very shitty apology. Once with a group of young men who told him no more atomic bomb jokes, they're not yakuza, the second one I can't find is an older guy who made him parrot an apology in japanese and I think he was "former" yakuza or some shit.
Having said that, I have no doubt if you're a dickhead in public nothing would happen but a few threats and pressure to apologize. But if you continue to act like an idiot and not show respect to the person threatening you? I have zero doubt they'll come after you when the cameras are off. At that point it's not a national pride thing it's a personal one.
she was a little too chummy with Gosling's character when her husband Oscar Isaacs was in jail.
that movie was just being honest.
Damn, I really should watch that movie again, and Nightcrawler, feel like those two would go good back to back.
I bet I can come up with 10 post 2000s but that requires some brain juice.
Some I can think of is Cheryl from Archer, that Annie from Community, April from Parks and Rec.
I would look into female sidekicks to a stronger stronk woman character. I'd imagine She-Hulk, She-Thor, and Wonder Woman would have a few of them in the comics up until around mid 2010s.
And then there are your punching bags, the victims and single mothers in film and tv. One I can think off on top of my head is the chick from Drive, I'm sure there are dozens if I look into it.
It's there, but the whole women in refrigerator piece really made it so writers has to put some agency into female characters rather then just being acted upon lest they get viewed as an enemy of wama'am.
They also got a lot of national pride so when shit like this happens or foreigners come and "johnny somali" the locals, Yakuza and Yakuza adjacent would coerce and intimidate an apology out of the moron to garner public sentiment.
Over a video game? I doubt it, I think Ubisoft is just afraid of otakus causing a scene at their events more than the Yakuza.
I hear arguments on both sides about the photographer, without any research I'm just gonna assume once you've been vetted and have access to take photos of the President, you tend to find more work and assignments to take photos of the President.
That's like finding it strange that a wedding photographer or wildlife photographer took photos on the subject they spent the like 20-30 years taking photos on.
How many other photographers and reporters at the rally that day been around and were at other major events?
Daniel Craig's Bond is like if Marvel's Ultimate line did a series on Bond.
Casino Royale I actually liked walking out of the theater I was like huh that's a cute modern "action writing" take on Bond.
And it was downhill from there. Actually fell asleep Spectre in theater (which admittedly I love doing) and never watched No Time to Cuck.
Even in Georgia, you can get it on Buford Hwy, the Chinese (Taiwan) shopping center in the 90s too. I like the tea, what southern kid wouldn't like 150 grams of sugar in 20 ounce of milk and tea? But didn't care for the pearls.
Sidebar, 3 meat and rice, crispy skin pork, char siu, and duck for $6 and feast like a king. Damn I loved that place.
