ACLU suspects warrantless surveillance in neo-Nazi’s prosecution
  • Maybe, just hypothesis from a dumb guy, maybe this case is a tactical choice. It's higher profile, It'll progress through the courts faster, they suspect the Supreme Court will be more sympathetic to this plantiff and this get the judgements that protect everyone, I don't know. Maybe it marketing to appear impartial, "See, we'll even defend a nazi."
    I don't know, I'm shooting from the hip while sitting on the toilet.

  • ELDEN RING - Update 1.12.2 (Rebalanced Scadutree Blessings)
  • There was a time where the tag line for Dark Souls was “Prepare to Die”

    That's a neat fun fact, but I didn't buy Dark Souls, known for its difficulty, I bought Elden Ring, notable for its beautiful open world and complex meandering story.
    Beating Malenia's ducky dance or chasing the Elden Beast around the arena for half an hour is not as interesting as all the questions created by the multiple stories and characters in the world. Or how Marika has betrayed or been betrayed. How Godfrey was cast aside only to be recalled when The Order needed protecting. Or how Godwyn pollutes the world above his carcass.
    No part of the story will be diminished if the player is given a slight edge in combat. The combat often isn't even that fuckin good, it's just pattern memorization.
    Some of you try hards are just, ugh, go back and sit down on your shit bucket. The rest of us are trying to have fun with our video games.

  • Even wealthy Americans are struggling to make ends meet
  • Hmm... there's a big difference struggling to make ends meat and > A significant share of wealthier Americans are coping with financial pressure by cutting spending, including dialing back restaurant visits and entertainment.

    That's not struggling, it's being irresponsible. I make over 6 figures and live in Southern California, and my only hard ships are self induced... motorcycles, motorcycle parts (I don't need three motorcycles), gun parts, car parts, going out to eat, driving an old truck, new tools and beers ain't buying themselves.
    You cannot make me sympathetic for the wealthy with stupid headlines.

  • Everything old is new again.
  • Last time I tried a taxi was because and Uber or Lyft was going to take 20 minutes to get to us (waiting? Gross.) I'm close to the air port, 15 minute ride home. Uber or Lyft would have been $30. The taxi was going to cost me $140. For a 15 minute drive? Get fucked. Dude is driving for almost $600 an hour?

  • The Feds Want to Know How Fake Titanium Got in Boeing's Planes
  • Well, Airbus was victim to the fraud as well. The supplier created fake documentation. Both Boeing, Spirit and Airbus have all said the tested the discrepant metal and it was the correct alloy it conformed to standards. This isn't the first time fraudulent parts have infected aviation supply, and likely won't be the last.

  • American Airlines passenger sued by FAA after being duct taped to seat
  • You're right but wrong about how comfortable flying used to be.
    Flying used to be heavily regulated and was heavily subsidized by air mail contracts. Aircraft were roomier and much more comfortable. After some trust and monopoly busting, and deregulation, the loss of air mail contracts, then share holders took more control.
    Then over the years prices have declined, leg room has declined, comfort has declined, passengers are now treated like sardines, being flight crew used to be a glamorous, sought-after job. We still romanticize PanAm. Now AA attendants are looking to strike because they're making poverty wages.
    You can find stories of nightmare passengers and crews from all over the world if you look, but Americans are going to hear American news. I studied aeronautics and aviation in college. Hard to explain more from my phone while I'm pooping, but yes, flying used to be a MUCH better experience for all involved.
