Trump did more than that; he advocated for simply seizing guns without due process. He’s worse than Biden from a second amendment perspective, not equal!

Why the fuck would a hardcore second amendment voter ever consider supporting Donald “take the guns first” Trump, though‽

Qapla’!

You know, everyone hates that guy, but he was the only reasonable person in that movie.

Much like the EPA!

They built back-pack carried laser weapons capable of annihilating a city block with an errant crossing of the streams.

Those were “unlicensed nuclear accelerators” – way worse than mere lasers.

Yes, it’s true: since the ruling, the EPA has no dick.

I’d say the 32X didn’t just compound the problems; it was the problem.

The 32X only existed because of infighting between Sega of America and Sega Japan, and accomplished fuck-all except to almost directly compete against Saturn, cannibalizing sales, causing consumer confusion, serving as a distraction that caused Saturn to come out six months late in NA, etc. If 32x hadn’t existed, Sega could’ve just released Saturn worldwide that same day instead ('cause that’s when it came out in Japan). And, for all we know, Saturn itself might have turned out technologically better if Sega had devoted all of its engineering resources to it instead of splitting them with the 32X.

It was also just a dumb unforced error that 32X and Saturn used almost the same hardware but weren’t mutually compatible. If 32X had been “a Saturn, but slightly cheaper because it’s piggybacking off a Genesis and MegaCD” instead of its own oddball platform, it might have been a raging success instead of a raging failure.

Waiting for one of the various global crises to change in such a way as to become individually actionable, so that the famed ADHD crisis mode superpowers can finally kick in:

I hate that they decided to have Morpheus hold up a battery instead of a processor because some empty suit thought audiences were too stupid to get it.

The context is that he’s doing a stand-up comedy routine. Although “it’s funny because it’s true” is a thing, he’s not necessarily endorsing every single punchline as his closely-held genuine belief.

• NO, NO₂ (or collectively, NO_x) - air pollutants

• N₂O - anaesthetic

Just in case anyone was wondering about the specific minutiae this ruling requires non-subject-matter-expert judges to take on.

You’d think the Feds would step in to fix that sort of Establishment Clause violation, no matter how powerful the cultists are at the NYC (or Clearwater, or Salt Lake City, or…) local government level, but I guess not.

That said: I ended up waiting like 3 years for my diagnosis (and I had to chase those bastards every single time for a response),

That sounds this close ->||<- to being some Catch 22 nonsense where they use your success in managing to follow up as an excuse to claim you’re not ADHD.

At least they’re clean dishes on the drying rack and not dirty ones in the sink!

…says the guy that thinks there’s going to be a brokered convention that picks somebody other than Biden.

LOL, no they are not! If there’s one thing I know about Evangalion, it’s that.

Russia’s high tech side of their military industrial complex is incredibly weak compared to the old USSR days

They’ve been screwed since like the '60s because of the gap in microprocessor tech.

The truth is that the internet kinda needs at least some ads to be viable.

It really does not.

• Wikipedia does not need ads (it’s supported by donations).
• Bittorrent does not need ads (the load is distributed to the users themselves).
• Labor-of-love amateur websites from the '90s (that had more actual useful information than the SEO-optimized lazily-copywritten (or increasingly, AI-generated) bullshit we have today does) did not need ads.
• Fediverse services do not need ads (being a combination of donation-supported nodes and, in the case of PeerTube, Bittorrent-style load distribution).

Frankly, if all the corporate content that exists only to make a buck off advertising were deleted tomorrow, the Internet not only would remain viable, it would be better off!

There’s a quote that came from ICQ’s heyday that I had in mind when I wrote that:

“The Internet: where men are men, women are men, and little girls are FBI agents.”
