But weirdly only if it was issued after 2005?

It also feels like you have a voice that people can hear instead of being drowned out.

You know I think a lot of us get so wrapped up in the lack of traffic on this site that we overlook this particular benefit. There are several usernames on Lemmy that I can, not only recognize, but also associate a bit of a personality with from the interactions I have seen and had on the fediverse. I think that’s a pretty neat thing to experience amongst the huddled masses of the Internet in 2024.

It’s really good for one or two then it gets to be like drinking out of a pickle jar.

Pickle beer is a thing.

I really enjoy this.

What incentive does Google have to even put up a fight? Worse results = more time searching = more “traffic” = more ad revenue. It’s not like they really have to worry about search engine competitors. Please do not try to recommend DDG to me. It is just a different flavor of garbage.

I mean, he’s not telling people to not buy the game. He just said if you’re strapped for cash it won’t hurt to wait.

I’m sure I’m going to get some shit for this, but here we go! I own a wyzecam that I keep in (but due to lack of necessity will soon be removing from) my daughter’s room. We had it there just to check and see if she was asleep in her crib still without walking up the very creaky stairs/hall to her room.

It has pretty garbage resolution, has no sensitive information in frame, is not in a part of the house that anything can be overheard, and literally just shows a blurry image of our daughter’s bed.

I guess someone could theoretically sign in and…watch a 3 year old sleep? The worst case scenario I can imagine is someone using the speaker function to scare my kid, which would suck, but I think I can risk it.

But is it enough just to swap the skin color? IMO, it is not. You have to represent the culture as well. So you change the family dynamics, the character background, relationship dynamics etc…

How is this not racist?

“Racism: noun - a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human racial groups determine cultural or individual achievement…”

Can Peter Parker not be black and have experienced everything that white Peter did? Shit, can Peter Parker not be black and adopted by a white Aunt May and Uncle Ben?

Why does it matter that the characters retain their original races?

I am not condoning violence.

That being said, it is becoming less and less likely that solutions which benefit the population at large are reached peacefully. The exact same people benefitting from the current situation are the ones in control of those reforms and laws.

I also love my water pick but it is considerably more of a chore to do.

Floss your teeth, people.

Jesus…ok obviously it was technically an option, but it would be suicidal in a time when not everyone had Internet in their homes and those that did had unreliable Internet. Don’t be obtuse. Those limitations are largely not an issue in 2024.

I was playing video games on my homebuilt computer in the 90s. I know exactly what it was like.

DRM is nothing new, we just used to have to keep up with the disk or a Key. If always online was an option back then you can bet your ass game publishers would have implemented it.

Fantastic

Lol this is so stupid. All of these examples are interchangeable between “then” and “now”.

There have been great lengths taken over the course of decades to make protestation on this scale prohibitively difficult for Americans. The exact numbers are apparently up for debate but between 40 and 80% of Americans can’t afford to miss a single paycheck. Splinter protests across the country do fuck all for federal issues and since most people can’t afford to make the trip to DC we’re stuck with a non-starter until things get so bad that it doesn’t matter if people are getting paid or not.

He’s a comedian. Until they explicitly express an opinion every controversial topic is simultaneously supported and not supported to allow for maximum joke potential.

Big big disagree with you there homie. McFarlane felt WAY out of his element when Orville switched to a purely serious motif. I couldn’t finish the season which killed me because I had such high hopes. Every single character felt like they were in the passive aggressive cold shoulder portion of a marriage fight. Honestly couldn’t give a shit if it comes back for a fourth season.
