This sounds kind of cool! I haven’t gotten too into MTG myself so I’m not great, but when I played Arena it was almost entirely against top-tier decks and I’d get whooped. I’ll have to check it out.

FF12 be like: Oh you opened the treasure chest sitting right in front of the NPC you have to talk to at the very beginning of the game? Guess you don’t get the most powerful weapon in the game then.

That must have been one hell of a hike, considering he ended up on a different continent.

As someone who has enough interest in etymology to understand the thorn character, it feels weirdly natural to actually read modern English that uses it. Count me as part of the pro-“bring Þ and/or ð back to the English language” group.
That said, it’s not practical to use it at this point because most people would freak out and get upset when they see anything they don’t understand, and most people (at least in the U.S.) can barely read at a level comparable to younger children.

I can drive for 10 hours in one direction and not leave my U.S. state. I’m not even close to the border to another state either.

Wikipedia defines it as:
an area within a metropolitan area which is predominantly residential and within commuting distance of a large city.
I’d say it’s a very fit definition of where I’m at. Most people commute to the metropolitan areas which are mostly manufacturing, and can reliably commute to the nearest city by car.
- Comment on Absolutely 2 months ago:
I’m about an hour out from the nearest city, in a suburban area. I’m closer to the boonies than anything like New York City or Chicago.

The local joints around me you can get a big burger, a big glass of beer, and a big side of fries for $15, maybe $20 tops. Whoever is buying just the burger for $25 is getting ripped off.

For prepackaged and bulk it would work good, but I’m not buying fresh produce sight unseen.

It’s all about driving metrics now. If people need to click on/select a movie to see more about it then that adds numbers to page views and increases time spent in the app. They can also see who and how many do or don’t watch a movie after clicking on it to further drive their algorithms.

Password managers are great until you forget the password to the password manager. That’s why you use a second password manager to backup the password for your first password manager. Just don’t forget the password to that one too.

Please explain how knowing about the Elder Futhark is defending Nazis?
- Comment on Email came out of nowhere 4 months ago:
No I understand that. The S rune on its own has its place in cultural history with all the other Runes, while putting two of them next to each other can only be seen as a Nazi symbol, much like the Swastika. In the modern practice of Heathenry and Paganism (which I practice) it is a very important distinction because the Nazis appropriated so much from European history for their symbolism. For example, the Swastika is the symbol for the Sunwheel, but I outright refuse to use it for anything because fuck Nazis. You can find it in ancient Buddhist temples that long predate Nazi Germany, and it has its own separate meaning for them, but for 99% of people it screams Nazi.
Another lesser known symbol appropriated by Nazis is the “Winged Othala” symbol. The regular Othala Rune is one thing, but adding those little “Wings” on the bottom makes it 100% a Nazi symbol.
I guess one of the points I’m trying to make is to know what is and isn’t some Nazi bs, and that some of those symbols are irredeemable after such strong Nazi usage, but others are just simply mistaken for Nazi symbols when they aren’t. I specifically avoid using anything in my religious practice that has Nazi association, and am ready to explain anything else that people might mistake otherwise.

I’m not disagreeing with that, but to say the Nazi shite invented runes is wrong. I thought it was pretty well known that the Nazis appropriated many of their symbols from historical findings.

The Elder Futhark predates Nazi Germany by well over 1,000 years. Wikipedia says it was used between the 2nd to 8th centuries.

- Comment on What gaming console you owned disappointed you the most and why ? 5 months ago:
Yes. I couldn’t get any video streaming app to play. I don’t think you could even download them from the Nintendo Store, but I’d have to double check.
- Comment on What gaming console you owned disappointed you the most and why ? 5 months ago:
I was pretty disappointed after getting a Switch 2 when I found out that Nintendo had blocked all video streaming apps on it. Even apps like Pokemon TV, which had transferred from my Switch 1 during account migration, were blocked from opening despite being downloaded on the device.
