  1. Friends
  2. Friends with different versions
  3. Friends with different versions who own link cables

I was like three steps removed from being able to evolve my Kadabra. I think I met one kid ever who had a link cable.

Oh don't worry, I'm absolutely certain it will return with a new host. Just because Jones isn't allowed on it anymore doesn't mean they have to throw out the entire propaganda outlet. Like you said, it's too valuable, and him making money by liquidating/selling it means that someone, somewhere, is buying it.

If every time someone is born, they die, then wouldn't that mean that life is inherently worthless?

But those same rich fucks will shit a cinderblock if you try to have a second job and aren't focusing 130% of your life energy into their job.

I believe wholeheartedly that we'll have all our shit straightened out in about 3 generations or so, or at least we will have new problems different than our current ones. Assuming we survive the climate catastrophe that is.

But the next 100-200 years are about to be real fucking bad for a lot of people.

Possibly all of the above. If I were in her shoes I'd have probably taken the deal as well. Guaranteed all-expenses scholarship in your chosen field, followed afterward by a train of effectively infinite money coupled with political power? And in return she just has to give this old man the occasional shag? It's honestly not a bad deal.

Make no mistake though, she is a victim here. Even if she may have profited off it the fact remains that she was groomed by a middle aged man while in high school and was extremely likely coerced into this relationship, either by offers or by threats or most likely some combination of both. A Faustian deal was struck here, where the opportunity for a regular loving family was given up in exchange for power, but it's not clear to me how much choice was given to her in this deal.

Necessity is the mother of invention, and all that.

Verde is also green in Spanish. A quick translation tells me that in Latin it's Viridis which makes it make sense that it's similar in most Latin based languages.

I had a look at VaatiVidya's video on this (many spoilers, you are warned) and while this all looks incredibly awesome, all I can think about seeing some of the new weapons are how these things are going to be an absolute menace in PvP. Specifically the >!beast claws.!<

Good thing I'm already trash at PvP and am used to losing, because it looks like we're getting like 8 new variations on what made Rivers of Blood a meta pick. I'm not really that upset about it, PvP isn't my main draw to elden ring and I am going to have a ton of fun with these new weapons in single player, so I consider it a net positive, but even so, yeesh.

Most F-Droid stuff AFAIK should be pretty plug and play. It'll download an APK which you then just open in order to install the app. You may need a file browser app if your phone OS doesn't come with one. You may also need to allow installs from third party somewhere in the settings. But android isn't like iOS and won't generally restrict your ability to install whatever you want, outside of an options popup to make sure you know what you're doing.

I don't use LibreTube personally and can't speak on that specifically though, if it does something other than just download you an APK file.

Semi-related, are there Leftwingers that are righties unwilling to even say the name of?

Arguably Joe Biden, they've been calling him Brandon for years. But they make up stupid little nicknames for everyone.

This is the sort of use case that VR can be a great fit for if someone put the money into creating it. Roblox isn't the medium for this.
