I have nearly 1500 hours played in Civ V. Never completed a single Civ VI game. Hoping they rediscover whatever it was that made 5 so great!
This is just the plot of Final Fantasy VII.
I run Rocky Linux 9 on an HPC environment for the package stability and 10 years of support. I also prefer the Red Hat-esque management ecosystem (ie, Foreman) to the others I’ve tried (but it still leaves a lot to be desired).
I am no fan of Red Hat’s corporate shenanigans though, and if it weren’t for the associated tech debt, I might consider switching to Debian or Ubuntu. I’ve run both at previous jobs, but the support lifecycle has come back to haunt us every time.
Also, use Windows 10 LTSC. You can download an eval copy from Microsoft and turn it into the full version by following the instructions here to change the installed SKUs: https://github.com/victorlish/Convert_to_Windows_10_LTSC. Then use the KMS scripts above to activate it.
Ignore the FUD about “LTSC is designed for specialty purpose machines like medical devices, retail kiosks, blah blah blah.” It is what Windows 10 should have been: no bloatware, no ads, no MS Store (you can add it back if you want). No forced upgrades. I’ve used it as my daily driver since Windows 7 went EOL, and I’ll never use a “normal” version of Windows again.
That’s stupid, humans make terribly inefficient slaves:
Hyper-advanced alien race, my foot. Any overlord worth its salt knows ants are far superior, and I won’t worship any cosmic entity that doesn’t.
This event is proudly bipartisan, uniting those from across the political spectrum to celebrate the impactful work of local broadcasters and our partners
This makes me wonder what would shake the media out of their business-as-usual attitude. Even if the Republican party didn’t represent an existential threat to democracy in this country, the unprecedented conviction by a jury of a former president on 34 out of 34 felony counts seems newsworthy enough to warrant taking a stand on the side of “fuck that guy”.
So you’re saying the front fell off because a wave hit it?
Trump appointee Aileen Cannon indefinitely postpones Trump classified documents trial, but I hardly see why that’s relevant.
I dunno, it seems to me that if someone starts threatening you over something you’re investigating, you should probably take that as a sign to investigate even harder…
What about the label for my father’s brother’s nephew’s cousin’s former roommate?
Ya know, it’s been said that fascism is colonialism turned inward.
And as this article states, The Biden-Harris Administration has broken down the dividing line between domestic and foreign policy because our strength at home and abroad are inextricably linked.
It’s just breathtaking how overtly we’re being propagandized with the same old lines. “It’s outside agitators”, “the protests have turned violent”, “the protestors don’t even know what they’re protesting”. They trot out these tired memes over and over, expecting people to lap it up, stay docile, and vote for them in November. It’s all so damn predictable.
But I don’t think it’s going to work this time. Is it just me, or does it feel more ominous than 2016 or even 2020? It’s like we’re being led off a cliff. And when we go over, the talking heads on TV and Very Smart People will blame the electorate for not going to the polls to pick the right guy. Instead of the “leaders” who thought they could carry on sitting in their big chairs and ignoring the concerns of their constituents, because hey, we’ve got them by the balls—who else are they gonna vote for?
The US media is using this sort of language to manufacture consent for yet another war in the middle east. Is this group the de facto government of Yemen? No, they’re just “Houthi rebels”, so we’re doing Yemenis a favor by getting rid of them. Is it a reasonable military tactic to fire on the warship of a hostile foreign power that’s been bombing the shit out of you? No, it’s an “escalation”! How dare these rebels strike first, we didn’t do anything to them!

So you can read this dipshit’s idiot writing without giving the New York Times any money for enabling him.
The paradox recalls 2016, when many Democrats were not unhappy when Trump won the Republican nomination
So we’re in for a repeat of 2016 then?
The United States government has been pissing and moaning about Iran my entire life. They’ve been “two years away from the bomb” for literally forty years now.
I’m not saying that the United States wouldn’t invade Iran—they are certainly stupid enough—but this saber rattling is nothing new. Iran happens to be a particularly convenient bogeyman for the powers that be to propagandize their citizenry.
Hamas does not “steal all the aid.” The Israeli government under Benjamin Netanyahu has funded Hamas for years, in a truly chef’s kiss strategy to keep the population of Gaza under their thumb.
Is it going right to left, or left to right?
Never have I ever strangled my roommate, poisoned my advisor for suggesting I go into a different branch of physics, and created a weapon that deletes entire metropolitan areas.
Two out of three of those, **at most.
For the good of the entire fucking world, Jill Stein should go away. Go back to practicing medicine, where you’re usually limited to only killing one person at a time.
There’s no excuse for the Democrats’ support for Israel’s genocidal wars, and Biden is complicit in his unwavering material (materiel? Both? Both.) support that allows them to continue doing it. I hate that if I don’t vote for the enabling-genocide party, I’ll get the enabling-genocide-but-also-women-are-things-and-LGBTQ-people-shouldn’t-exist party.
So instead her goal is to ensure the election of Donald Trump and his merry band of eschatological fetishists, who’ll not only do the same thing because their literal goal is to bring about the apocalypse, but also bring back all his very smart domestic policies and hand the government over to the Project 2025 fanatics to turn the United States into Gilead. Brilliant. Real big-picture thinking there, doctor.
