Ah yes, the group that has shown themselves to be completely unable to think in the long term is really wanting more babies with a goal that will only pan out in 15+ years.

My god! You mean they attached a bomb collar around her neck and said if she didn’t comply they would detonate it?

Wait, they didn’t do anything of the sort? Well, sounds like they didn’t force her to do anything and the only thing stopping her from speaking out was her own spineless cowardice.

I bought Black Flag a few years ago during a steam sale because I heard it was good, but never got around to playing it.

Last week I decided to finally give it a try. Got it downloaded, only to be asked to sign in with my UPlay account. Ok, pain in the ass, but whatever. Got my password reset and entered it in and then… Nothing. Login window closes, game does not launch.

I scoured the internet looking for a solution and found a ton of people with the same issue. I also found many reported “fixes” that did not work for me, nor for anyone else judging by the numerous replies to each of them saying the “fixes” did nothing.

So cool, and since I bought it years ago, it’s not like I can refund it. Guess I bought a game I won’t ever be able to play unless I decide to pirate it. Ironic. Thanks Ubisoft!

So folks have already explained the stick, but you’re actually somewhat close to one of the ways you can sort of bend the rules of FTL, at least when it comes to a group of photons.

Instead of a stick, imagine a laser on earth pointed at one edge of the moon. Now suddenly shift the laser to the other side of the moon. What happens to the laser point on the moon’s surface?

Well, it still takes light speed (1.3 seconds to the moon) for the movement to take effect, but once it starts, the “point” will “travel” to the other side faster than light. It’s not the same photons; and if you could trace the path of the laser, you’d find that the photons space out so much that there are gaps like a dotted line; but if you had a set of sensors on each side of the moon set up to detect the laser, they would find that the time between the first and second sensor detecting the beam would be faster than what light speed would typically allow.

It’s not exactly practical, and it’s such an edge case that I doubt we can find a good way to use it, but yeah; FTL through arc lengths can kind of be a thing. At least if you tilt your head and squint funny at it.

Stern words from a single person are an insurrection?

Yea! And maybe I’ll shit a rainbow and fart gold coins!

What pressure? No major businesses were against it and most seemed to support it.

Oh wait, you mean public pressure? The thing that hasn’t existed and no politician has cared about for almost a decade? Why would that matter? It’s not like the public are the ones bribing donating money.

My dude, what do you think the .ml in your instance stands for?

I mean, he’s not. The vast majority of the loans being forgiven are ones that should have been forgiven anyways. Like ones where the people went into the public sector and paid their loans for 20+ years. These loans were supposed to be discharged. That was the arrangement these people signed up for. Bureaucracy essentially held them hostage.

Sorry, but I don’t give credit for finally agreeing to a broken promise and then treating it like it was done out of the kindness of their hearts. They should have been discharged years ago.

Me sell hats, okey pokey?

I wish we would stop having articles that pretend that Roberts gives a single dropping of rat shit about his legacy. He doesn’t. Understand that and all his actions make sense

“Nothing will fundamentally change”

Drop the argument about casings. It weakens other, rational, arguments. The amount of lead in casings is minimal, and making that out to be some big issue makes you seem like a fool grasping at straws to prove their point. It’s like saying cars are bad because touching hot engines causes burns. Ok, technically true; but there are so many bigger issues you could focus on that trying to hang your hat on that one feels like you’re just pulling the reasons they’re bad out of your ass and you haven’t done any actual research beyond what you feel is right.

It won’t happen. Trump is siding with Musk and will continue to do so for one very important reason; Musk has the money.

Anyone who is able to get themselves elected to office should under no circumstances be allowed to lead. They’re all corrupt. Every, single, one of them. It’s not a result of being in power, it’s a requirement.

What fans said that? Seriously, all these articles and posts seem like the most pathetic form of copium.

“Oh boy, his supporters must really be feeling bad now right? Right?!” Wrong. His supporters are not having second thoughts. They’re not regretting their choices. They aren’t feeling betrayed. They are overjoyed, and the constant attempts to reframe that as some Leopards-eating-faces schadenfreude is the stupidest thing I’ve seen all year, and I watched the run up to the election.

All these fucking posts are either based around like 1-2 tweets from no-name people, obviously fake accounts, or the worst; obviously made-up anecdotal stories from leftists, desperate to feel good about themselves, about how some right-winger in their life suddenly regrets all their choices. “Oh my racist uncle is a farmer and he’s really feeling betrayed by Trump now. He’s sooooo mad and-” Fuck off. No he’s not. You haven’t talked to your estranged uncle in years and have no idea what he’s feeling if he even exists.

Miserable leftists desperately pretending that right-wingers are regretting their vote and secretly feeling as miserable as them. Grow the fuck up. They aren’t regretting things. They won, and they’re happier than pigs in shit about it.

Here let me fix the headline for you:

US Senate to vote will vote no on Bernie Sanders-led effort to stop arms sales to Israel

There. That way people won’t get the wrong impression, like that any of this fucking matters.

Vote early. Almost every single area in the US has early voting at least 2 weeks before elections. People complain about long lines and lack of ballots on election day. You know what you get if you stumble into a polling place before that? A couple of bored poll workers in an otherwise empty building. You get your ballot, fill it out, and leave within 5 minutes. I seriously don’t understand why this isn’t used more.

Your solution to a tyrant is to… appease the tyrant? Fuck off.

The aid is in the form of outdated, surplus military equipment that was scheduled to be replaced anyways. The alternative is paying a company to dispose of them. So why don’t you want to send this aid to Ukraine where it can be used? The only people that should have any problem with this are those who are busy sucking Putin’s knob.
