I said it elsewhere, but it's almost like they looked at the market research showing Steam PC gamers would buy a gazillion Steam Controller 2s or Steam Deck Controllers if they made and sold either one, or both.

And then they decided to make something that was neither one of those things. It's totally bizarre.

This sounds high to most people, but if the minimum wage had kept up with its inflation-adjusted peak (1968), it'd be somewhere in the range of $31 to $32 an hour right now.

It never caught back up afterward, and has been severely harpooned in the years since, shifting unfathomable quantities of money to the wealthiest people. And it's not just minimum wage workers... when you sink the wage and salary floor, nearly everyone made less than they should have been.

You do realize that the actual issue is that this is kind of thing is going to be normalized, so that it can spread like a plague across the corporate-touched internet, objectively making the entire thing as a whole objectively worse... right?

Because it sure doesn't seem like it with that reply.

I think it's more directed to victims of abuse or domestic violence, who sometimes try to keep a phone hidden from their abuser that is outside of their abuser's control.

The Milky Way's Mass is Much Lower Than We Thought

You know, I'm really surprised, considering that the Milky Way galaxy is home to yo mama.

Far too little, far too late. Even if this was the most glowing revision ever (it isn't, but even if it was), the trust is gone.

You can skip the rolling animation. Once you set your modifiers and click the die (or dice), just move the cursor out of the dice window and left click again. It finishes instantly.

If you're on controller, I haven't played that way, so I couldn't tell you.

There are actually specific words in the English language for precisely what you're talking about.

Endonym - The native name of a geologic feature or place. From your example: Nihon in Japanese.

Exonym - The foreign name of a geologic feature or place. From your example: Japan in English.

It's pretty amazing that a guy who has picked up several dozen felony charges in the last few months has this little idea of how the legal system works.

Am the the only weirdo who swapped over to Linux without knowing a ton about it, and didn't really have any issues? I just started with a Windows-user-friendly distro (Mint Cinnamon), and then just looked up how to get through any weird (to me) issues that I encountered over time. Gradually learned more about what's under the hood as I went.

But I see these memes and stories about "I tried Linux, it lasted a week and I went back to Windows" here and there.

It's not scary. Am I missing something? XoD

That doesn't fix YouTube's core issues with the ads that they run, impacting every free user without an ad blocker: 1) Not 100% safe 2) Unscrupulous advertisers, sometimes running scam ads 3) Poor user experience re: ads (far too many in general, and multiple mid-roll ads per video make for a horrendous time).

I'm not going to reward them for these misbehaviors toward their user base by buying their "Premium" service. Same for any other site that does this and offers a "Premium service" to fix the problem that they, themselves, created. There are ways to have safe ads, and fair user experience even with them in play.

It might seem that way (especially if you subscribe to the Reddit-discussing communities here; I did that at first, but got tired of seeing the same five convos happening a gazillion times, so I unsubscribed them, and that mainly solved the problem).

I went out into the community search, found a bunch of stuff I'm interested in, joined those places, and have been having some good interactions so far. So that's what I'd recommend.
