Atop being so negative about slavery, because we want to bring it back.

All these tech giants have their own area where they are the absolute worst, and other areas where they're not as bad as some of the others.

Apple sucks on app store restrictions, but on the desktop OS, the respect user privacy more than Google and MS do. Google is the absolute worst on ads, tracking and using search to leverage their monopoly, but they've also made a ton of cool stuff, including Android. MS makes the worst piece of shit OS and forces everybody to use it while they make it worse, but I'm sure there's also something they do right.

Good man.

I do the same, but with bicycle lights that people have left on. I know how annoying it is to find your battery empty.

I like the idea, but I'm annoyed by the inconsistency.

The þ is the th sound in "both", but not the th sound in "the"; that's a ð.

Ðough, ðat, ðere

Þorough, boþ, þree

Dude, if you're going to do this, you should really be spelling 'that' like ðat.

This is exactly it. It has always been up to the browser to decide how to render a website. There have always been differences. The idea that a browser can honour or ignore parts of the content has always been part of it.

If anything should be illegal, it should be websites 's constant attempts to bypass user preferences. Some of that shit is plain malware.

I don't think any CRPG is RP heavy. I don't think it's possible for a computer game to roleplay. Well, maybe if they integrate LLMs? But generally, any RP happens entirely in the player's head.

I think CRPGs that are sometimes seen as RP heavy, are just very well written. That's not the same thing, although I suppose it's possible for good writing to inspire RP in the player. But that depends as much on the player as it depends on the writing.

I enjoyed the original VTMB a lot, mostly because of its excellent atmosphere.

Return them. Give someone else the chance to enjoy them too.

My library doesn't charge late fees for children's books, but does for other books.

Your argument is that Russian state media is more reliable than a truly independent and thoroughly sources platform with a stellar reputation for quality and accuracy? That is what you want us to believe?

Because nobody is going to believe that.

With his corruption and sexual harassment, joining the Trump camp makes total sense for him.

Maybe he's not a progressive, but it's great to finally see a prominent Democrat loudly opposing Trump. Too many are obsessed with undermining their own party while letting the US go to hell.
