Anyways, these edgelords would get laughed out of any real leftist communities once they started regurgitating agit prop.

Honestly, man, if they did the Hexbear type of behavior they might get punched. It's one thing that they advocate for genocide and excuse war crimes, that I think would get them laughed at or just removed yes. But the sheer level of obnoxiousness I think they would have trouble getting away with in person without some kind of physical reaction, at least someone getting in their face about it.

In the olden times, it was a big point of pride of American politics that a lot of people didn't want to kill the leaders. It was sort of assumed that in feudal style European politics, of course the common people kind of wanted to kill you, because you were threatening their safety and taking their stuff. In America, the way we did things was to earn the respect of the people you governed. The people actually wanted this person to be in charge. Why would I shoot that guy? That's who we picked, we like him.

Of course there are some caveats (slavery large among them). The reality never matched up to the ideal. But we're going back to where even the approximation of consent of the governed that we used to have, isn't assumed anymore. Fuckin bullshit

You seem to be assuming that the volume is immediately replaced by the external atmosphere, which I doubt is valid

No, I was assuming your volume decreases. I don't actually know that to be the case, but my assumption is that there isn't "extra" space inside a person, and so if you lose material from a part of your body that isn't encased in anything rigid your volume decreases slightly.

So maybe I did have my terminology wrong. When a hot air balloon deflates, it falls. The density went up, but that's not what's directly relevant. The weight went down, I guess, but the "number on the scale", weight minus buoyant force, went way way up, because it lost some lower-density volume that was making the whole thing float. The weight (in a strict physics sense) went down, sure. But the number on the scale (which I was incorrectly calling "weight") went up. Same thing for a farting person.

Oh... yeah, that makes more sense than "decrypting" it to inspect it.

Anyway, I think I'll delete the article, I think you're right and it is unuseful.

Hm, I think you are right. Looking at it again, there's also this:

For one, enterprises largely disable QUIC and force websites like Google to downgrade back to TCP. This is because there’s only a single firewall vendor that can decrypt and inspect QUIC traffic (Go Fortinet!).

I definitely don't think that is how it works. Maybe enterprises disable QUIC, but it's not because they can decrypt and inspect HTTPS traffic.

I hope this shit turns out okay, seems like the rollercoaster's pretty much at the peak of that first big hill.

"Why I got a bird hand? Why I got a bird hand? Oh..."

Yeah, it sits at this very satisfying cusp where it is clearly saying something, once you get over the "look at this upsetting thing I'm showing you" level, but I can also totally believe people coming to totally different conclusions about what it is saying. It's wild.

Fart gas is warmer than the surrounding atmosphere, therefore less dense. Your digestive system is under very slight compression (10-20 mmHg gauge pressure according to the internet), which I would guess does not equate to enough pressure to be more significant than the temperature gradient. Fart gas is also less dense than air at a given pressure by a pretty significant margin (1.06 g/L compared with 1.20 g/L).

When you fart, you're releasing gas that is less dense than the atmosphere, which means you get slightly heavier. Think of yourself as a hot air balloon with a very tiny chamber, and when you release a 90 milliliter fart, you lose a little buoyancy and sink a little. You get heavier when you fart.

I haven't done the math, but I looked around on the internet at some numbers, and that's what I think. I also ignored this because it is clearly AI slop, which is a little upsetting.

Updates are usually automatic (at least in the modern days with Steam), and DLCs are optional.

Okay so by that definition, this one is a free DLC. Glad we got that cleared up lol, that was why I described it as a DLC.

I don't think of DLC as having an explicit connotation of either free or paid, it can be either. Whatever. I've now edited the title again to what I should have titled it in the first place. Hopefully everyone can put this to bed and move on to some other equally urgent internet disputes now.

IDK what is the panic about the distinction between a game update and a game DLC. I posted it because I played it and it was awesome and I wanted to let people know. In any case, I edited the title to say "update," hope you're okay with that phrasing.
