I can count to 31 in one hand in binary. It’s not a super useful skill, but it’s won me a bar bet more than once.

without credit
Not sure where this part came from, but Obsidian made FONV, a game in the Bethesda IP that was credited to them.

Who are they going to hire to make their games good if Obsidian goes under?

The hippie probably doesn’t use fabric softener. That shit isn’t worth it in my opinion, and just makes things softer at the expense of lifetime and performance. Things like towels lose absorbency when you use it, workout clothes don’t wick sweat off your skin as easy, it can demonish the flame retardant property of kid clothes, and it can make it easier for mold/mildew to grow in your machine.
If you’re using it for static/smells, just use dryer balls and some essential oil. I think they’re also pretty good at softening your clothes.

Maybe not, but the fact that customers who thought they purchased a movie are having it stolen from them with the excuse that the license ran out IS their fault, 100%.
Sony chose to advertise items for sale that indicated that their customer was buying the movie, not renting it for the lifetime of the license. From a consumer point of view, it doesn’t matter whose fault the license expired, because Sony is at fault for misleading storefront and advertising. They knew the terms of the license, and chose to advertise the product in ways that were absolutely not in line with what the customer thought they got vs what they actually got.
There is no world in which Sony does not take fault in this. Well, outside of a courtroom anyway, because media owners can do as they want in our current copyright hellscape. In any sane world, this would be seen as the theft it is. In this world, it’s just a Tuesday.

Well, technically I judged him before I knew his name, but that’s just cuz I’m pretty sure the pictures are from that Nazi march almost a decade ago that killed Heather Heyer.

To be fair, we didn’t pre-judge them, we judged them by their actions

Or they’re intentionally making it impossible for someone to meet the reqs so they can give someone internal the job or so they can take the opening offshore and pay someone drastically less for the same position.

Your confusion of extermination camps with concentration camps is not relevant.

So pointing out that other countries are worse than the is is whitewashing the crimes of the USA? Don’t hurt yourself moving those goalposts because you can’t support your argument
- Comment on oh bless yer heart, pepperidge farm 'members! 2 weeks ago:
Also, I hope you know the rest of us are disgusted at the way you choose to use minorities as a shield for the intellectually lazy arguments you peddle.
There’s a reason why you won’t answer the question, and we both know it

Oooh yay! My first encounter of the day with an unhinged ml idiot.
Tell me, brainiac, how does pointing out that you’re on an instance known for denying basic reality to make arguments detached from reality about how places like Saudi Arabia (who is actively enslaving people and working them to death to build their stupid mega-boondoggle) is worse than the US? Or are you mad because you can’t actually support the assertion you’re making with evidence sourced from someplace other than your ass?

Oooooh, you mean the ‘detention’ camps where we lock up immigrants?
- Comment on oh bless yer heart, pepperidge farm 'members! 2 weeks ago:
FYI, the person you’re arguing with is from .ml, so good luck getting them to admit that the us is better than any other country, despite any and all available evidence to the contrary.

The courts aren’t completely corrupted yet and they are still in charge.
You sure about that? I’d live to have faith in the rule of law, but the trump admin is increasingly ignoring court orders, despite the public wins you mentioned.
I really feel like we’re going to see the admin trot out the apocryphal Andrew jackson quote of ‘the courts have made their decision, let them enforce it’ in the next year or so.

With no objective good or bad
Where do pedophilia and rape fall in your intellectually lazy, moral relativism argument? What about freeing enslaved people?
Saying there is no objective good or bad only shows your lack of moral convictions.

Holy shit, that wiki plot synopsis
Iowa Senator Jim MacVeagh is summoned to Camp David by US President Mark Hollenbach. MacVeagh, who is expected to become Hollenbach’s next Vice President, becomes concerned because Hollenbach shows signs of intense paranoia. He erratically expresses his desire to develop a closer relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union, and attempts to cut ties with US allies in Europe. Hollenbach believes the US news media are conspiring against him. MacVeagh is the only person who notices that Hollenbach’s mind is crumbling, as the presidential advisors and politicians he attempts to warn ignore him. The sole person in possession of evidence of Hollenbach’s mental decline is his mistress, Rita. Hollenbach puts both MacVeagh and Rita under an FBI investigation.
Anybody reading this should guess when you think this book was written.
Tap for spoiler

Sign yourself up for a remedial health class, cuz that’s not how this works at all.

Is it even questionable in hindsight tho? As far as I’m aware, there was basically no reason to go after Iraq other than finishing what Daddy started. Afghanistan I can see it being questionable in hindsight, but Iraq was an unnecessary war from the jump.

Credit cards mean you do not have money, and you’re about to have even less.
Maybe, if you’re bad with money. Treat the card as you would your debit card, and only spend what you know you have, and you’ll be perfectly fine.
I’ve used a credit card for the vast majority of my purchases over the last 10-15 years, and money isn’t a problem in the way you’re implying. But I might also be a unicorn and I pay my card off multiple times a month, and have paid MAYBE 3 months of interest in that time.
My credit card is why I have a stellar credit score and was able to pull myself out of the poverty hole that I was born into.

I’m unclear what to do with this information. Are they suggesting suicide?
I’m a bit younger than you, but I’ve always taken that as a tongue on cheek comment that really doesn’t have anything behind it other than bitterness at what their bodies/minds became. Usually from neglecting them.

And I don’t want to be exposed to religious people because their repression and preaching is a violation of my sensibilities. When can I ban them?
no reason why one can’t just cover themselves up appropriately and avoid hurting others.
Your delicate sensibilities are not a reason to force someone to wear a shirt. If you’re offended by the human body to the point where seeing a woman topless violates your sensibilities, maybe you should stay home?
The world shouldn’t have to censor itself to save your feewings. But it’s better that the religious prudes get to dictate how everyone else can live, because gods forbid they have to be the slightest bit uncomfortable.

Man, I’d PAY for a modern remake of SR2 that kept it basically as is but added better gfx/QoL stuff. That game was the peak of the series imo
