It’s been a while since I paid attention to it, but last I heard Natron wasn’t maintained anymore since it was having trouble getting developers.

I’m just throwing this out there, but has he maybe tried not being an absolute piece of shit?

Some fine upstanding citizen needs to write a script that crashes the system, posts a link to it on a QR code, and print off business cards that people can flash in front of any camera they come across.

Bullshit.

Scientists have known for years now that the earth can support far more than our current population, and that’s WITH our current technology. The primary issue isn’t the earth’s carrying capacity, it’s the distribution, political and economic systems we use to manage that carrying capacity.

To put it bluntly, we have more than enough resources to feed everyone without terrorizing the environment, but we’d rather let people starve and die homeless than give those resources away for no profit.

Population isn’t the problem. Capitalism is the problem.

The resellers are Arctic consumers too.

If Arctic sells 500 coolers to “ABComputers LTD” in butt-fuck Alabama and charges them the tariff, than ABComputers LTD should get a portion of that rebate and they can add up their share against how many of those 500 they sold and pass it down to their buyers.

There is literally no other app I’ve used on my phone less than any sort of “assistant”, AI or otherwise.

I can add my own calendar events and to-do notes, thank…you…very…much. I have thumbs. And I’m not self-important enough to feel like I just don’t have the 30 seconds it takes to use them to set a reminder or a quick note.

Does that make me old-fashioned, sure. But I prefer it that way.

Ooooh…a sales promotion…laaa deee fucking daaaa

Fuckers should be adding up every sales receipt purchased during the time when the tariffs were in effect, dividing their settlement by that amound and sending rebate checks to the people who already purchased.

Anything less is a slap in the face.

I’ve always had trouble getting into the Assassin’s Creed games, even though as a history buff they should be right up my alley. There’s something about the Ubisoft generic play-loop that bores me after a certain amount of time. ( I have that same issue with the Total War series…love history, so I should love those games, but for some reason they just don’t click with me).

Weirdly enough, the only AC game that has really clicked with me is (AFAIK) one of the least popular ones, and that’s Syndicate. I think it’s because the setting. Victorian London had a lot of verticality from the various buildings that allowed a very spider-man like experience.

Sure, in the same way that your friends wrinkly, barely born newborn still covered in dense black body hair (Lanugo) is “adorable”.

I would like everyone who is slandered by pedo-hitler, if they have the means to do so and don’t require the money, to instead sue for “legal fees and a copy of the full, unredacted epstein files”

chilly nipple-itis

How did you know the name of my Porno for Pyros cover band?

No one exists except me. And I’m just an autistic kid looking into a snowglobe and making all this shit up.

How can it be hell if it’s an overweight bald man who get’s to float next to two women who are clearly out of his league with their titties hanging out?

See: “Hegseth, Pete”

If you use AI to write your speeches, you clearly have not bothered to study the issue at hand and are therefore not qualified to be representing your constituents on said issue.

Gotta look out for those telescreens, Winston.

I’m far from a specialist. Not only is my knowledge about 25 years or so out of date, I ended up leaving with half a year left on my degree because not only did a divorce make me unable to afford to continue, but some guys from the middle east crashed into the World Trade Center and ignited a war that shut down any actual archaeological work in the most of that part of the world for a decade or so.

So rather than specialist, I’m a guy that has 3.5 years of a 4 year Bachelor’s degree, and then went off to take a bunch of computer certificates instead. lol.

Still regret never going back to finish it once the middle east settled down again.

Schliemann dug straight through the actual Troy that he was looking for, destroying a huge chunk of it to get to an even earlier settlement in the strata beneath that he decided to call Troy. His “method” was essentially do dig a trench all the way to the bottom, assuming that the oldest level would be Troy. (Yes…he was that stupid).

It was only afterwards that other, actual archaeologists placed the proper stratum that the homeric Troy would have existed in. And by then, much of it was already obliterated.

I majored in Near Eastern Classical Archaeology with a focus on the Bronze age (Hittites, Minoans, Mycenaeans, Babylonians, etc…), and lesson one may as as well have been titled “Why Heinrich Schliemenn was an asshole.”

I consider myself pretty jaded and cynical when it comes to developers pulling that kind of stuff. As long as they keep it somewhat subtle and low-key I can ignore it and move on.

But recently ( and no, I don’t know how this happened) I discovered that for a very long time, I’ve apparently owned Final Fantasy XV Royal edition on XBox. I don’t remember ever buying it, it’s never been in my “purchases list”. But as I was scrolling through a “deals” list, I noticed that it sayd owned, so I said fuck it and installed it.

Well, let’s just say that as soon as Cindy appears, I’m not jaded and cynical anymore. I’m just thinking “holy shit this is just shameless…”
