Orcocracy

The person leading the entertainment break in the middle of a recent American football championship match, I think. I’m not exactly sure either.

The ‘mechanics’ of notifications, infinite scroll, public by default, algorithmic sorting, etc all carried everywhere on a rather large mobile device are all quite problematic. Social media without all of this would be far less addictive for most people, both children and adults included.

Nobody can prove you wrong (or right) about “some things” not working. What things?

The third one down in the rightmost column would make a good email app icon.

There’s loads of spec-fic and comics etc from both during and after the Cold War about what if the US loses/lost the Cold War illustrated with the Statue of Liberty having the torch replaced with a hammer and sickle or the book she’s holding is changed to be a copy of Quotations from Chairman Mao or whatever. Just do that.

If you value your time you should switch to Linux. Yes there’s a brief adjustment period, but especially now, that period is very short and well worth the initial effort. It’s not 2005 anymore, Linux has less jank than Windows or Mac OS now.

Or even just pay attention and stop looking at their goddamn phones in the middle of their fucking STEM classes. They ran a text-generating algorithm with shitty sci-fi novels in its ‘training’ database and the algorithm generated text similar to those same shitty sci-fi novels. This isn’t exactly difficult to understand stuff.

It might depend on where you live and whether Valve can legally get away with the price fixing this UK case is accusing it of or not.

To give one example, the base price for the standard edition Cyberpunk on the PlayStation store is CAD60 (ultimate edition CAD95), on the Nintendo eShop the ultimate edition is CAD100 (no standard edition is available), and on Steam the standard edition is CAD80 and ultimate is CAD110. Interestingly, base prices on Epic and GoG are lock-step on the standard and just $5 off on the ultimate edition with Steam’s prices.

Maybe there is price fixing going on after all, but perhaps Valve can only persuade publishers to fix the PC prices, hence the cheaper game prices on consoles.

That calculation gets a bit weird around zero C

Yes, please feel free to read “got distracted” in that manner, apologies for my somewhat vague and passive language. The US is a bloodthirsty country and found itself a more tempting set of victims for a few years, to put it a bit more dramatically.

Since the 1990s really. For example, when the US bombed the Chinese embassy in Belgrade in ‘99, and then a US spy plane was captured after it went down over China in April 2001. Then 9-11 happened a few months later and the US got distracted for a decade and a half or so.

Yes I did see your joke, thank you. Just out of curiosity: Why make the joke about AC3 and not one of the other made in Canada games about the US? Again, this is not meant as an insult or a malicious assumption or whatever, I’m just genuinely curious.
