I gave up posting last night after failing 3 times in a row.

My thought exactly. “Oh shit…DBZ was right…”

I don’t want to use AI to generate the sick, tattooed mice in this story, but I bet they’re pretty rad. (Animal testing, less so, jokes aside)

This feels like idle game mechanics or something. What are they doing exactly?

I’m a millennial, and I keep holding my breath for our generation to show up. There’s plenty of statistics that show a deep blue wave. I think we’ll lose more before we win, but nothing lasts forever.

I don’t have a ton of stock in any data from 2025 voting behavior. There’s some suggestions of vote manipulation from reputable statisticians, so I don’t really trust that voting data.

Heart attack apparently; I thought the same thing, though.

Article suggests their family had tight Russian Regime ties. He scoffed at Navalny’s death.

“Now, I think it’s a wholesale prostitution of America and its values in order to sell weapons. And increasingly profiteer on this stuff.”

9 “When the kings of the earth who committed adultery with her and shared her luxury see the smoke of her burning, they will weep and mourn over her. 10 Terrified at her torment, they will stand far off and cry:

“‘Woe! Woe to you, great city, you mighty city of Babylon! In one hour your doom has come!’

11 “The merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her because no one buys their cargoes anymore— 12 cargoes of gold, silver, precious stones and pearls; fine linen, purple, silk and scarlet cloth; every sort of citron wood, and articles of every kind made of ivory, costly wood, bronze, iron and marble; 13 cargoes of cinnamon and spice, of incense, myrrh and frankincense, of wine and olive oil, of fine flour and wheat; cattle and sheep; horses and carriages; and human beings sold as slaves.”

Yeah, this feels like correlation vs. causation. I don’t doubt the figures, though.

Pretty sure I played this quest in Cyberpunk yesterday.

The moral compass bit is hilarious. Large swaths of tech haven’t had morals in decades when it comes to business, if ever. See google’s canary “do good” being gone. People have fully drank the “greed is good” koolaid for years.

I’ll say this: when I go to the doctor, I’m listed as “not smoker.” But, I have my medical card, and it gets lots of use. When I go to ask, the doctor always seems to wave me off, like “It’s not tobacco, so it’s fine.” I definitely feel like I’ll get lung cancer with the amount I vape/toke at the moment 😬

From Internet (not op):

Fiber-optic first-person-view drones are jam-proof. Sending and receiving signals along millimeters-thick but miles-long optical fibers, these FPV drones are impervious to the radio interference that can ground wireless FPV drones. That doesn’t mean it’s impossible to defeat a fiber-optic drone.

Put your steam deck in offline mode, problem solved for anything that doesn’t need to ping a server. That’s what I do with my kids.

I don’t disagree on digital rights and all that, but I am able to game because of my Steam Deck.

What doesn’t kill you slowly makes anti-venom.

Why not use both and turn it into a 2 panel meme?

Me when I have water

Me when I’m a human living in the modern world

I have friends at some of these studios…sucks. Wishing the best for the homies.

I agree that there’s some line, but if we’re really talking about $1.5bn & it really is a theft, it seems reasonable to me. /shrug

It’s probably money laundering anyway, but I dunno. If the blockchain is protected through a decentralized ledger, couldn’t they vote via governance?

Keep in mind, I read the headline & not the article. I got no clue what chain or crypto involves the story. The web3 world gave me a salary boost, and that was enough for me. It was stressful working in a grey area at times.
