Fun fact: this song (Harry101UK's version) was supposed to be an Easter egg in Portal 2 but was cut.

I like to imagine the person is just complimenting their strong mothers, aunts, sisters, etc. Obviously they deserve the right tool for the job, not some chintzy product that is colored pink. So many companies, which once made reliable products, no longer make anything worth the paper money needed to purchase them. Plus it's a flashlight, less features means less ways to break, so it really needs one or two buttons. Some of the best tools are simple. At least the person didn't use feeeemale as a noun.

Probably a chud, though, but I like to give the benefit of the doubt.

Wouldn't a backpack be good enough?

Ban cars!

Oh wait, trains have wheels.

Yay! This news brings up my spirits. I can't wait for the death of Israelfucked! May Palestine be free, and may the genocide be no more! 🇵🇸✊

Actually, if people are immunocompromised, we don't want to encourage them to come to events and risk their lives. There are other ways we can have them engage, and risking their lives isn't worth it. And we are more descriptive than saying COVID is dangerous so wear a mask. It is similar along the lines you said.

I am a member of PSL in a pre-branch, and COVID is an important issue we still discuss and are concerned about within the party. We have been discussing ways to enforce/encourage masks during our events as we want to protect people, especially the disabled and immuno-compromised. We recognize COVID as a form of genocide.

I do agree it is something we should speak about soon, especially for our campaign. Note that among the various issues for this presidential election, most people are concerned about the economy, more than anything else by a large margin.

One of the issues of enforcing strict mask mandates during our events is that we don't want to cut off some people that would be turned away from this but would have been open to learning about our program and eventually become more radicalized and educated. We have considered mandating masks, but by encouraging people to wear a mask during our events and making it a cultural expectation so that people who would not wear a mask feel uncomfortable not doing so. I am of the opinion we should be strict with it regardless because I want the disabled people to feel as safe as possible.

All in all, the issue is still on PSL's radar, but I would like to see an updated analysis of it, too. And yes, please join. Having more people join to bring these issues to the party is what we are looking for. If you can't join due to time restrictions, at least find a local branch within your area and let them know what issues are important to you. We need to know what matters to the masses so we can collect and analyze the data in order to make decisions based on the people's needs.

I do agree that's not a bad idea to put on their platform page.

Edit: There's also this article from February 4, 2023: After 3 years, is the COVID-19 pandemic over?

Fr, I have learned some good financial advice here and on Lemmygrad.

I kinda want this

I don't want to imagine the horrors of teleportation being invented during this AI bubble.

We use a LLM to construct your atomic structural pattern. It's 50% faster!

Everyone in this world would start to have multiple fingers and uncanny faces, and then slowly disintegrate into beings that are unrecognizable.

Has this sci-fi horror concept been applied in literature yet?

Yeah, it's pretty lonely being a commie in my field.

I have worked between multiple Data Center Technician contracts during COVID. I was treated like shit in all of them, and the culture was heavily conservative/fascist. Those jobs need to be paid a lot more, have much better working conditions, etc. before the culture can be improved and the jobs are less discriminating to nearly everyone.

SotV is probably my personal favorite, tied with the Risk of Rain Returns soundtrack. I would consider SotS and the RoR2 base soundtrack my next favorite.

Can game devs for fucking once stop selling their franchises to shitty corporate companies (yes I know it's inevitable under capitalism)? Ffs, this was one of my favorite games of all-time. I would have been happy if it wasn't touched. If there was one feature from Steam I would ever want, it would be the ability to revert back to old game versions (or install multiple) without developers needing to create multiple betas. I want my masterpiece back. Guess I need to pirate now. Hopefully I can still play multiplayer with a pirated dedicated server.

I only paid for the soundtrack on Bandcamp and was excited for the release. The only good out of this update is the soundtrack. Chris Christodoulou makes awesome music.

They hosted Jackson Hinkle without giving any criticism. I think they are patsoc sympathetic at the least.
