I'd been on Reddit for 15 years, predating the Digg exodus. Actually, I find that my memories of the early days makes moving to Lemmy easier. Present-day Lemmy is already ahead of Reddit back when I started, both in terms of content and features/availability.

I think that's just how the US signs off on every meeting with world leaders.

That's not at all how the GPL works....

After seeing this, I thought I'd go over to the Play Store to leave a 1 star review. Then discovered I had already left a 1 star review (complaining about their shitty interface) a few months ago, which I'd totally forgotten about ;-)

If it was so irrelevant, the colleges would not have fought tooth and nail to maintain it. Anyway, the prior experience of individual states that have banned affirmative action indicates that the effects are not negligible -- it's responsible for double digit shifts in racial compositions of student bodies.

Things will depend on how the universities respond; one can imagine Harvard doubling down on ever-subtler ways to tag Asians as personality-free robots undeserving of consideration.

To avoid paying royalties, I imagine. Hollywood accounting is craaaaazy.

I think Zhongli has a death flag. Narratively, he's got nothing else interesting going on, now he's retired. It's a natural plot point to have him go out in a blaze of glory protecting Liyue one last time (and also, as you said, redeeming the archons for what went down in Khaenriah).

I'm just surprised Elon Musk didn't find a way to inject himself into this story somehow, like he did with the Thai cave rescue.

You gotta remember that DS9 is set in the space version of a third world country. This isn't Federation territory, and the Federation's presence is on thin ice throughout the series.

TLDR: 7 of 9's ex-husband pressured her to go to a sex club. Then he ran for Senate. The sex club stuff comes out, he drops out, and Barack Obama wins in a landslide, becomes a political rising star, runs for president, etc.

Last few patches have been thoroughly mid, IMO. Good enough to pass the time, but nobody will remember any of this content a few months from now. Also, the quality of the accompanying storylines has been slipping for a while now. The card game tournament story felt particularly mediocre, like it was put together by an intern trying to check boxes.

Genshin's refusal to develop mainline endgame activities, aside from constantly pumping up the numbers on Spiral Abyss Floor 12, really hurts it during this part of the patch cycle. Hopefully the summer patch will be a step up, like GAA and GAA2, and 4.0 will blow our minds.
