Or hoping their ratings will spike again as they spend four years posting "look what evil thing the President did!" again.

Don't forget that he warned us about private companies bombarding the Earth with moon rocks!

one of only five fully operational ships

So, you had 5 operational ships in your entire navy, and at least one of them is not a warship but a service ship. Honestly, I think lesbian captains is the least of their problems, at least when compared to the nutters in the government.

This.

If someone wants to stab you, swinging a coat at them won't even slow them down.

Step 1: Grab the coat as it is flying at you, rather than covering your face

Step 2: Yank on coat.

Step 3a: If step 2 fails to get the coat out of the grasp of the doctor, you have his arm extended, and thus have a perfect target for your first hit

Step 3b: If step 2 succeeded in getting the coat out of the doctor's hand, commence with your original stabbing plan.

Even doing business with the US is potentially hazardous. At least, if the State Department decides to overthrow your government to get cheaper bananas.

This. Enough with forced AI integration. If someone wants AI in their browser, or in their OS, or wherever else, fine. But don't force it down everyone's throats. If you absolutely must stick an AI (or rather, data harvesting) thing in your program, at least make it optional or completely uninstallable for those who don't want or need it.

Excellent report, but I take issue with him at 2:20. If there is someone who actually believes this is negligence rather than intentional, I have a few dozen bridges to sell that person.

Frankly, this. Anyone still working at the Washington Post is either too stupid to know what the company they work for does, or is ideologically possessed.

Either ditch the "Democracy Dies in Darkness" tagline, replacing it with "DNC Propaganda Outlet", or start commenting on the actual current state of government and we'll talk - maybe.

Probably all of the above. But, as someone who teaches programming, so many people have a massive hate-boner when it comes to C and C derivatives it's just absurd.

Wonder if the Costco was an intentional choice, or just a coincidence. With influencers and now politicians shilling their own product brands, I can't help but feel that we're yet another step (or multiple steps) closer to "Welcome to Costco, I love you"

While I would agree with you about the job market, have to wonder if part of this is a case of way too much kool-aid consumption. Maybe they've printed DNC lies about this being the best economy ever so many times they started to believe them?

Asked about Hungary’s plan, commission spokeswoman Anitta Hipper said: “It is unacceptable...., it will also undermine the security of the Schengen area as a whole,”

As usual, it suddenly becomes a security issue once the people mandating the policy would be impacted. Orban, I say double the size of the convoy.

somebody with Routh’s same full name and date of birth

Oh come on! "Well the guy has the exact same name, same birthday and lives in the same state, but it totally might be a different guy!"

There's different levels of community servers. The way you're describing it, I haven't played on anything like that in years (likely decades). Playing on private servers with friends, do that a bunch. Limit access to people you know and people they trust, if someone starts being a douche then boot (which I've really only had come up once).

That said, I will acknowledge that I pretty much never do PvP stuff, just co-op/PvE. So, if you're looking for constant PvP matches with something then, yeah, inviting in a half dozen or less friends to the server will probably not work out too well.

"It is in packaging, so it is bought from a store"

How do these people even function?

Qualified Immunity and Civil Asset Forfeiture would have entered the chat, but they're too busy laughing,

1. First, why are you taking what the DoJ says on face value? How many "Muh Russia!" hoaxes have we had now?

2. Are you seriously expecting youtubers to backtrack all of the finances of everyone they ever work with?

3. Building off 2, how would anyone short of a massive multinational corporation with an army of attorneys and accountants even do that? But, hey, it's a basic rule so I'm sure you'll be happy to provide us with a full list of the steps you've personally taken for every financial interaction you've had for, say, the last decade.

And, even if this is 100% a Russian Propaganda operation to warp the minds of poor innocent Americans (which I don't), and even if we accept that all of those youtubers could and should have been reasonably expected to perform a full audit of Tenant's books (which I don't), there's been multiple reports of Kamala paying influencers to shill for her campaign. So what's the issue here? Show me the legal statue which says "It is a crime for you to receive money from a Russian". Oh, wait, the DoJ doesn't charge the youtubers with anything! It charges a couple Russians with money laundering and violating the Foreign Agents Registration act.

It's 100% obvious what is going on here. The DoJ cooked up something (maybe legitimate, maybe entirely faked) to slander and try to shut down well-known online personalities because they're not 100% parroting the line that Washington wants them to take. And if you seriously don't expect the same thing to happen to Dank, the Lotus Eaters and every other online personality soon, you are hopelessly naive.

Anyway, I'll wait for your full list of steps for an average person to cheaply and easily perform a full audit on the books of every company they ever do business with, since it's an easy and basic rule.

Edit: It's also worth noting that THIS is what the DoJ is spending time on, when some of the main oil fields in the US are literally getting raided by Cuban and Venezuelan gangsters. Yeah, I get it, different people work on different things, but when a major story is "more Russian Propaganda! Be afraid of those evil right-wingers!" when oil fields are being robbed and sabotaged and no major outlet talks about it should also make it pretty clear what's going on here.

You missed the biggest one. US Govt interfering with most elections in most countries in the world for decades. If the Feds want to complain about someone spending some money to try to influence US elections, they should first stop using anything and everything up to and including funding and/or directly participating in literal coups.

all these developers are going to lose their jobs and its YOUR FAULT

Is this nutjob saying that people should have bought the game even if they don't like it and don't want to play it so that the devs keep their jobs? Because I can't think of any other way that devs losing their jobs for making a poor game with terrible characters is the fault of the consumers.

Sounds like it wasn't just passing off bad checks, but you could also apply for a loan at the ATM and just get the cash in some cases.

But,

Chase has apparently rectified the issue, as some are now reporting that their accounts have massive negative balances or have had holds put on them.

newsweek archive

Sounds like a bunch of people are already in FAFO territory.

On top of the ones mentioned before, I'd throw in Hoppe's Democracy: The God That Failed. It is a bit of a dry read IMO, which would hurt it in younger people reading it, but it does nicely outline how universal suffrage and democracy directly leads to many of the problems of today due to the masses wanting free gibs.

Wasn't he always the smug Reddit-atheist-liberal type?

To some extent. Still, on the Penn and Teller Bullshit show in the early 2000s some of the episodes did take shots at some liberal sacred cows including environmentalism, recycling, new age hippie stuff, etc.

Well, the governor of Colorado said all this stuff was a figment of your imagination, so obviously Reddit can't have this imaginary stuff getting posted. After all, the first rule of The Party is to not believe your lying eyes and ears.

Textbook TDS. Comparing 2015 and earlier Penn and post 2016 Penn and it's radically different. He said he had some negative issues with Trump when Trump was hosting The Apprentice (which may be legitimately true) but then translated that into full-on Orange Man Bad. Even then, he still called himself a Libertarian up until The Coof, at which point he went full-on pro-lockdown and pro-mandate and has continued sliding.

You normally will truncate data like this when you’re looking to “zoom in” on the differences.

"Zoom in" is a funny way to say "intentionally mislead most viewers about how extreme the differences are." Because that's what it is used for much of the time, and the graphic demonstrates that quite clearly. (Heck, your own linked article says "you’re making an editorial decision to focus on the data in a different way, so take care not to mislead the reader." at the very beginning.)

At 5'2'' vs 6', that means the average Indonesian guy is about 86% of the average Dutch guy's height. Noticeably shorter, yes, but even if it was done with bars it would still make it look like the Dutch are twice as tall or something than the Indonesians. And the ridiculously absurd silhouettes just make it even worse.
