Wouldn’t that just be a scaled up version of Saw?

Hey at least its not Windows lol

Something something Indian something something

Anyways, the human trafficking flow is the opposite for South Asia. The oil rich nations like KSA and UAE are notorious for enslaved labor by trapping poor people trying to find work abroad with promises of a living wage and foreign national status.

Which is why their foreign abused labor is mostly Pakistani, Indian, and Sri Lankan.

Pakistan is also so ridiculously starved of international tourism that foreigners have trouble trying to pay for stuff because the locals offer too much.

Some examples:

I thought the point of using AI placeholder graphics was for mock up purposes so the level designers, writers, animators, etc. have an idea of the intended look the artist wants before the artist gets to that section and actually fills it in with their talent, or finalizes their nth edit to where they are satisfied to merge their additions.

Otherwise, why doesn’t everyone just use the purple/black missing texture map everywhere?

I’d even go so far as to assume the artist threw his scratch sketches at an AI and told it to make the mockups so the rest of the dev team doesn’t miss the general idea.

I have no idea if this is actually the case, but why would anyone go out of their way to get an AI to generate a reusable texture otherwise? It would literally be faster to just select a pre-existing option from the game engine library or even just make your own with a quick image tile + save.

Average American inland “seafood” is garbage. You have access to the Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, Florida Keys, Gulf of Mexico, Great Lakes, and hundreds of thousands of lakes and rivers, yet the top fish dish 100+ miles from a shore is usually catfish fresh out of a polluted sewage overflow ditch or farmed shrimp/crawfish fed on subsidized cornmeal.

I saw a great sign at a seafood market once that read “If it smells like fish, it’s not fresh fish”. I can personally guarantee you that you cannot find good quality, fresh seafood in the USA unless you live within travel distance of a shore where you can find a local market or restaurant that sells their catch of the day.

Catfish is not good quality fish. It’s a trash bottom feeder that does an excellent job of cleaning waterways. Stop eating it and claiming the flavor is unmatched, I can taste the Monsanto runoff.

Like capsaicin spicy (hot) or spices in general (pepper, cardamom, etc)?

I can understand hotness because it really is more of an acquired thing, especially with certain regions using it way more than others. But the only people I’ve heard who complain about this are the same people who can’t handle bargain basement hint of jalapeno potato chips lol.

And if its the second category, then I assume you must be British lmao.

And because someone is going to say “Just use Linux”, believe me, I’d love to, but the user experience sucks for literally anyone who isn’t a software developer and the accessibility has actually gotten worse over the 15 years I’ve tried to use it.

Don’t listen to people who suggest Ubuntu (or its downstreams) and the clownshow GNOME desktop environment.

If you have a spare USB lying around, try this live (without installing) to see if you like it and please do share your feedback: https://fedoraproject.org/kde/

Or even just your general gripes with Linux. I had the same outlook when I first tried Ubuntu but I didn’t realize it was just Ubuntu and GNOME being really crappy until I tried a different distro and DE.

but does that still work when resetting?

Yeah, once you reach the setup screen and it asks you to connect to the internet, hit Shift + F10 (sometimes CTRL + Shift + F10) and it’ll pop open a CMD window in which you want to type in “oobe\bypassnro” and hit enter. PC should restart and when you reach the internet screen again, there should be an option that says “I don’t have internet”. Click that and make your local account.

If it doesn’t work, sometimes you have to do it twice. Just did it yesterday on a real machine and it worked first try, but every VM I’ve made had me do it twice.

governors would fall into line pretty quickly

Dem governors would line up to oppose him.

This isn’t really possible anymore, State NGs are nationalized so the federal government is already in charge. That’s how JFK enforced desegregation in Alabama, he literally removed the state governor from the chain of command: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stand_in_the_Schoolhouse_Door

It’s the same reason Walz did basically nothing in Minnesota. If he attempted to direct the NG or even his separate State militia, Trump would have thrown him into a charge under insurrection.

It would fall on the NG or Militia CO to proclaim allegiance to either the state or federal government. Considering what has happened so far, the most you’d see is some resignations.

I’m pretty sure its shopped because I’ve never seen a machine with actual displays in it for each flavor lol. They all use paper cut outs.

The first person I met who used Mint was asking me how to fix his Nvidia output stutter lol.

The answer was updated kernel shenanigans which is probably Mint’s only weakness.

Anyways, that’s usually why I recommend Fedora since I think it properly fits the same spot where Ubuntu was like 15 years ago. Cutting edge stable, large community, and much easier support than something more downstream.

That being said, a good chunk of users have been quite happy with stuff like Bazzite and CachyOS because they’re mostly here to play games.

But yeah I agree, the popular recommendations of the week really need to be ignored for first time users. I still remember when they were pretty much all just Ubuntu downstreams that never fixed any of the upstream issues that Canonical created, which led to a ton of youtubers thinking Linux stability was behind.

On a similar note, it’s also why I recommend literally any DE except GNOME. It looks and functions like a knockoff ChromeOS tablet, despite the fact that it used to be the home of Compiz 15+ years ago, which is the peak of desktop UX lol.

That’s some garbage W/R and it also doesn’t mean anything unless they share their account name so we can look at the gameplay stats which shows how good they actually are in whatever ship they play in lol.

I’ve seen a guy with 10,000+ games that were almost all in PvE, so he was dogwater in literally every other gameode.

tbf Pakistan is sort of an anomaly because the government’s favorite hobby is shooting themselves in the foot.

They could easily move their passport up the rank line by like 30 spaces by just having clean diplomatic relations with other countries instead of running their embassies like a waffle house that requires bribes to get your food lol.

As in if they saw someone from a “third world” country via immigration, they either get profiled more or face discrimination at border crossings due to suspicion of overstaying or violating the terms of their visa (i.e. entering under a tourist visa but finds employment), is that why it’s difficult for immigrants from those countries to travel?

Yeah you pretty much answered your own question. Many people seek employment and the pursuit of happiness abroad since the opportunities and possibilities are much higher than at home.

While there are also security reasons on limiting passport power, it is primarily based on whether or not the country is known for immigration for employment/work. They don’t want people bypassing the work visa limit on an easy tourist visa.

The opposite also holds true, 3rd world countries don’t really gain anything from limiting 1st world people from entering. Often they’ll even offer special perks because it encourages foreign business and investment.

On a related note, I find the idea of borders and limiting immigration somewhat archaic and absurd for this very reason. If you have a healthy economy, there will always be constant demand for labor and growth. There’s really no reason to limit the human resource market, especially when visas often only allow highly educated people to immigrate.

I always found MiB’s take on it rather nice. When you have aliens traveling to earth to leave in peace and just make a living, it makes the INS (precursor to ICE) and the idea of country borders seem stupid to even exist.

No one who speaks German could be a killer!

Its like when you buy a 1tb drive and the real capacity shows up as like 920Gb lol

If you’re in the US, bachelor degrees are pretty worthless lol.

Now we just need to make Warthunder not work on linux…

Gaijin devs have us all by the crotch lol.

I would kill for a competitor game. I’d even be happy with a proper DCS arcade mod that let’s you do the same stuff as WT realistic battles.

Bans and heavy moderation of content.

I’m glad some of the reddit copy communities here like DankMemes died quickly because it was being run by the same loser mods from reddit.

So far I’ve only been banned from I think maybe 2 communities ever. The only one I remember is one of the NCD communities because the lead mod was a dumb dumb.

I don’t really care about complaints of specific instance users because unpopular opinions and comments deserve to be seen, otherwise you create an echo chamber.

So long as there is no brigading, it is much healthier to see everyone’s input.

Also I hope the r/Chodi crowd never finds lemmy lol.

That’s not how pipe rockets are made fool

A pretty hefty amount of popular mobile games were actually rips of flash games with microtransaction added lol.

All three NY area airports are notoriously bad in every aspect lol.
