They really believe that all suffering is a curse from their impotent god. And that everyone who is suffering deserves it for one vague "sin" or another.
Which is hilarious because according to their holy text that’s not how this works.
There are examples in the Old Testament of God being like, “I’m going to punish you because of such-and-such,” but that doesn’t mean every bad thing is a punishment.
Jesus disciples were like, “Why was this man born blind? Was it his sin or his parents’ sin?” And Jesus said, “Neither, duh.”
It’s depressing to me how focused on sin evangelicals are. The whole point of Christianity is that all have sinned and fallen short, so they need Jesus. But evangelicals don’t know shit about their own theology. They sing their songs about how great and powerful their god is and they go out to judge people and enforce their idea of the law.
I got far enough into the book to read the fuel gauge and despair set in.
Ceci n'est pas une ball.
Important thing to remember about the “console wars.”
Other than the Nintendo Wii (iirc), most consoles sell at a loss at the beginning of the generation. They eventually turn a profit on console sales, but console sales aren’t the point.
Game sales are.
When each console was its own very specific architecture and games needed to be designed specifically for them, console sales matter a lot because that’s how you’d sell games.
But now that architectures are similar (if not the same), cross-compilation has become easier than ever. It’s why you see Sony finally releasing first party titles on PC.
Microsoft knows full well that their console sales aren’t great, but that’s okay for them. Their PC sales are. Many of their titles sell on Steam. And they sell some of their titles on PlayStation.
They’ll continue to make some form of console because without it they lose out on millions of Game Pass subscriptions from people who don’t want to make the initial investment in a gaming PC, or deal with the complexity, but their goal of making that next console more and more like a PC fits perfectly in their model.
It’s a shame the Series X has sold so poorly, it’s a great console, but I doubt Microsoft is too worried about “losing” the console wars to Sony. The game has changed.
It was fun. Extremely formulaic and predictable, but enjoyable. A lot of the race strategy stuff was bullshit, but it kinda had to be, the sport itself is too complicated to have silver bullets (though there are silver arrows).
Also the cinematography was really cool. It captured so well how damn quick an F1 car is.
Not a great movie, but worth seeing if you like Formula 1.
Hmm.
This sucks for TSMC, but I have a hard time being upset that humanity’s ability to make better processors will expand, especially given the vulnerability of Taiwan. But I don’t really know enough to have a firm position on this.
Oh damn, really? Guess I’m switching adblockers! 🤣
There are a number of adblockers for iOS, but you are correct, uBlock Origin is not one of them.
Same question to you as I posed to the other poster:
Why aren’t you using an adblocker on your phone? They are easily implemented on both Android and iOS (as long as you’re willing to use Safari as your browser on iOS).
How are you not using an adblocker on your phone?
I know Firefox on Android (and other browsers) support adblockers. On iOS if you want to block ads without using a DNS to block them I think you’re stuck with Safari, but you’re using Safari to render them regardless so it’s not a big deal. Still, you can block mobile ads.
Man I wish concept cars were’t so impractical once you have to start including crumple zones and other safety features.
We’d have some really distinct vehicular style languages over the years, instead of the same vaguely boxy shapes with different sprinkles.
Concepts like this look so cool.
Even if this specific concept isn’t to your liking, you can’t deny that it would be unique. I fucking hate the cyber truck, it’s dangerous and stupid, but I have to admit it grabs my attention when I see one because of how different it is from all the samey cars around it.
