  1. I didn’t say they would be happy, just that they should be. And my anti-vaccine relative screamed at us and other relatives over the shedding COVID proteins thing when she found out that a bunch of us were vaccinated when they became available (the first of many times she chewed family members out for getting vaccinated), and would not wash her clothes in the same washing machine that vaccinated people used unless she ran an empty load with bleach through it.
  2. Yeah, but what’s your render distance and FPS in Minecraft?
  3. They appear to be on track to launch later this year, so the thinking in the Anno subreddit is that there won’t be too many layoffs for a project this close to completion that can generate a lot of revenue. But there is also concern that development is being sped up so that they get it out sooner rather than later rather than risk it being canned. They are deep in the development cycle, which is good, and they have the Anno 1800 series to point to in terms of revenue generation.
  4. Give me somebody who has been voting for more than four years, who went through puberty more than a decade ago and who has known the intimate touch of a woman or a man, who has been to countries other than the USA and/or their homeland, who has paid taxes for more than 2-3 years, and who did not go from chatting with their dipshit gamer friends online and posting racist shit online to questioning actual experts who have been in the real world and in their respective fields longer than these dipshits have been alive, and whose boss does not rely on close ties to Communist China for some of his businesses. Finally, give me people who do not think putting all of the data of American citizens and government on the blockchain on the internet is a good solution to everything. For all of the bitching about Trump, what Musk is doing has the potential to bring our economy and our country to its knees, and surprise, surprise, people like Musk won’t be too affected - at the end of the day, he’s got his private security forces and jets and has access to other countries. Of course, if our economy collapses, it’s going to fuck up a lot of others countries. People like you are probably going to suffer a lot more than you think, and you don’t even realize.
  5. 19 year-olds who may be Canadian citizens. Would love to know how he got top secret secret access.
  6. If they cut 75% of the government workforce, millions of people hitting the job market will be the least of our worries, as systems start failing, people stop getting their SS checks, hospitals stop getting paid through Medicare/Medicaid/VA, and a whole host of other things.
  7. They should be happy at this kind of stuff, because if it works out and a lot of us take it, it makes them safer.
  8. And they do not understand what classified information or security means. Because you know whatever they’re feeding it to is on the Internet.
  9. They keep on confirming they don’t know shit about how the government works. Which is to be expected of a bunch of 19-25 year-olds
  10. Anybody in Cedar Park hear about this? Arrested an 18 year-old. https://www.kut.org/politics/2025-02-05/ice-has-arrested-scores-of-migrants-in-the-u-s-who-have-no-criminal-records
  11. Best I can do is John Denver covering Black Sabbath
  12. Syd Barrett lived to be an old man, but he was “gone” by late 1968. Would have been interesting to see where he would have either taken Pink Floyd or what a solo career would have looked like if he had not fried his brain. His output would have definitely changed.
  13. Join the beta test https://register.ubisoft.com/anno-117/
  14. Better yet, scream out “ALLAHU ACKBAR” repeatedly so they know you’re not a Muslim. I forgot what it means, but I think it’s Spanish for “I’m not a Muslim and I’m not here illegally, and I want to talk to a lawyer.
  15. So he complains about incorrect information being reported, and his response is to not talk to journalists.
  16. That was not surprising - they were saying some pretty violent stuff. I was getting that sub in my feed, not subscribed, but I visited once, and there were people posting violent shit that they’d like to do. Now it’s possible that it was some Leon fanbois who posted it to get the sub shut down. But there are plenty of other subs that are dissecting the DOGE stuff and digging into the backgrounds of his team. A lot of other subs.
  17. CDC’s website has been getting scrubbed clean of a shitload of useful information, and neither agency is allowed to communicate with the public without it being filtered through the White House. Just the way things are now.

  19. We stopped playing for a long while, but I just got a notice that Blizzard is adding housing later this year or early next, and we will have to come back. Only 21 years after everybody asked for it, and 27 years after it was in Ultima Online. Building in Azeroth: A First Look at Housing And they are doing it right. Easy and cheap to get - they want everybody to have a house. No maintenance costs - once you get it, it's yours, even if you take a break and your subscription lapses, it won't be demolished. You'll be in instanced neighborhoods (sounds like you can change neighborhoods) with up to 50 other houses, so you won't be scattered across Sosaria Azeroth - there is a zone for the Alliance and one for the Horde. This is good because it won't lag the shit out of you when you are running around various areas. Groups can cluster together and build their own neighborhoods. Meant to be a social aspect. Extensive decoration/building features with new content added all the time, and all of your characters can access it, even if they are from different factions. Some cash shop items, but most items are earned/bought in-game. Sounds like a mix of UO and FFXIV (which has a nice system except it's shit for costs and maintaining it and it's a pain to get and keep).
  20. I didn't know a lot of things either - I remember asking my dad why there were a bunch of sailors inside of Rod Stewart, and him looking at me and asking what I meant and me responding with something about some older kids saying he was full of seamen. My dad:
  21. The same way all of the jokes about the Challenger blowing up did, the ones about what shampoo did the astronauts use, what does NASA stand for, etc. I was in a rural area when it happened, and to this day I don't know how that stuff spreads unless it's a bunch of dads talking to friends/relatives in different parts of the country passing those jokes on, and their kids hearing it or they tell their kids. I remember hearing and telling the jokes on the playground, and how forbidden it was (the teachers were coming down hard on kids and one even got paddled for teling the jokes). 5 or 6 years ago, I brought it up in my high school graduating class's Facebook group, and along with myself, quite a few of us were in different parts of the country from where we went to high school, but a ton of people knew those jokes. I wondered if it was some kind of thing where later somebody like Andrew Dice Clay told the same jokes on some HBO show or something and some got wind of it that way, but everybody was like "nope, I remember hearing it on the playground and passing it around". And for most of us, the jokes popped up within weeks of the crash.
  22. Well, either way, he's lucky. Leon's money isn't going to keep buying him free reign (or rein) from Trump when he goes after Social Security and the DOD.
