I’m in a similar position to OP, kinda. MonHun Wilds will occasionally, and as far as I can tell completely randomly, cause my entire system to completely freeze while in Linux (also observed in Stellar Blade IIRC) which just doesn’t happen in my Windows dual boot. Also modding Skyrim is magnitudes easier on Windows, but it’s mostly the first thing that is my motivation.

Were this reddit I would be highly tempted to give that some gold.

I would say you can only move a tile if you have a piece on it as well.

I’m pretty sure this is actually talking about the lack of motivation for activities that are done “because I said so” for children, or “because that’s how things are done” for adults.

Cis effectively means not-transgender, so born as exacly the same gender you identify as. ‘Het’ then means heterosexual, making cis-het someone who is either completely male and into women or completely female and into men.

It was a thing on 7 as well.

To answer the fifth point, evangelicals aren’t Catholics, they either don’t care about or actively dislike the pope.

The method I (just now) thought up using to signal humanity was responding to accusations of being an LLM with a “fuck you”. The combination of vulgar language and defiance of the sycophantic tendencies of LLMs feels to me like a pretty effective proof of humanity, at least for now.

Hello!

The idea of it being numbered is that you are given your number when you vote to check against later, but nobody else is given that number so they can’t tie the vote to you.

Had to look up what a ute was, for any Americans it’s a pickup truck. And I was going to say the exact same thing, judging people for having a spotless pickup.

Hooray, I’m glad my thought process for initial steps was correct. If you don’t mind me asking, my thought process for the recommendation of canvasing as opposed to something like flyers is that doing so would make you and your efforts come across as more human and genuine, especially if part of the pitch was that Comcast was astroturfing, do you know if that’s something that actually works?

I don’t have any experience doing this, so take everything I say with a grain of salt, but my first step would be to collect information on how similar projects have turned out in the past, in terms of cost and adoption, as well as how much money Comcast is spending to counter this effort and what kinds of services they offer in the area at different price points. Then see if there are any people in the community that agree with you on the deployment of municipal internet who could be convinced to make the effort to assist you with convincing the rest of the community. With that information and those people, organize a canvasing effort, as in go door to door and actually talk to people about their stance on the matter. I would focus on that “locally owned and operated” argument, as well as the fact that if Comcast is spending money trying to prevent this they surely must be expecting to earn even more money from not having any competition in the area, so they can get away with higher prices and worse service.

I mean, the reason why polyandry is so much less common is that nine months is much longer than half an hour, or at least that’s the most obvious reason.

Speaking as someone who didn’t get a phone until 16 or 17, I would say try to figure out what kids his age are using to communicate with each other and get him a device that allows him to participate in that. At the same time, try to educate yourself on what parental controls are available, and at least try to make an effort to educate them on computer and internet literacy, stuff like how to recognize and not engage with clickbait and to not overshare information where it can be seen by strangers.

I’ve always said if money can’t buy happiness then what’s the point in having it.

How do you think Tucker Carlson avoided getting sued off the air for as long as he did?

It might not be called aphantasia since it isn’t for sight, but yeah it exists, I have it for taste and smell.

Florida allows felons to vote if the state the felony conviction occurred in allows felons to vote. New York allows felons to vote, thus Florida allows him to vote.

I’m going to second this, the linked video explains a lot of the controversy really well.
