The AM doesn't seem so bad now.

He and Trump and GOP aren't petty there. They inject more distrust about the whole idea of voting. Rich people and corporation can lobby, but they still can't directly buy an election or a cabinet seat in the open. They spend a lot to push up some candidate after ensuring their loyalty, and it seems suboptimal to them. There is a golden moment where you probably can game the system to make max profits and then grab the bag and run. Because democracies are at least stable, and when they roll into dictatorships, you stop playing solitaire, it's now blackjack and you are walking a thin line between bankruptcy and being shot dead by a firing squad, because your elected politician has too much power to be securely bought.

I feel like it's disproportionally favors developing startups\companies\scams who need some boost to start to break even, or old blood that can tolerate some pain if they may consume every other actor on the scene.

There are benefactors to that, and they are the worst people on the market who would only accelerate the collapse for their short term gains.

That's all bipartisan system and predetermined positions. Can't attack your own camp because at the pres race you'd hurt already choosen pres candidate and would be seen as your own camp's traitor to target so-called allies. Even after she is irrelevant, for it gives a signal you can do this to everyone else, and gives free fuel to the opponent's platform. Playing favorites in cases of infosec breachea seems wild, but here we are.

Since it was dropped in the heat of the race, I can get why it was downplayed as a rep-based attack on Hilary, but she's still okay after all of that, and I fear, she is still pickable for the next pres race instead of any other better candidate.

Like many liberal people in my country with Pooh-teen, no one believed it's even possible to degrade that quickly, and many still believe it's not really happening and can be undone in a couple of swift changes.

I think EU can take some lessons from two countries already declined in recent times.

 

The clip is Megan Thee Stallion official video of BOA: youtube.com/watch?v=TKQY2ZlIEjY

I have several VPNs that play most videos alright, but this one is blocked via both my direct access and random sites promising me free yt downloads. It stopped to show up in search, yt-dl doesn't seem to work too.

Probably, it's due to DMCA because of their use of the Britney Spears' sample (?), a whole minus track of tik-tok tik-tok what're you waiting for song.

If someone can write a guide, how to access videos in that case, it would be usefull to us all. Alternatively, one can let me just download it from some personal cloud, and I'd be grateful for that. The track itself is barely average, but I did enjoy the work of visual artists there enough to post that request.

Please, tell me if there is another comm to post this.

Yup. One of my favorite little moments in the series. It just stirs you wrong that the best builders of our world can't do this anymore.

The Earth has moved.

Gray, aged bees were moving chaotically, struggling to reconstruct the hive how only they remember, were taught to build.

The resulting pattern of squares, triangles, decahedrones was insane, and seeing this, Roland knew, their hive won't last long.

Instead referring me to a post by Deputy Communications Director Kaelan Dorr that says, in part, “The arrests will continue. The memes will continue.”

I kinda know these skinwalkers just want to lick Elon's ass rn, but that feels like another low no one ever thought is possible. What memes you, facebook bro, want to continue posting? Did your kids abandon you too? How to even start to compute this shit?

What was the universe where distant planets were used as conc camps? Red Faction? Riddick?

Their work with the games' projected GUI was properly futuristic and fitting, and it worked well on both consoles and M&B, and in DS mobile side-game too, not to say how gfx still look great all these years after.

To ensure better compatibility, do a fresh save-as to another format if possible on MS side (docx-doc, doc-docx, -docm, whatever). It forces Office to rebuild the file, i believe, and usually it fixes some display mistakes coming from excessive formatting, trashes the leftovers of previous edits, etc, and the file itself becomes lighter. Some other tricks:

  1. Have strict formatting rules and only select amount of styles. If you see them mutating, choose to select everything with a style-bastard applied, and then reapply their parent to all affected paragraphs (after what it should disappear);
  2. Don't use rare fonts as long as possible, and if you do, on different machines too, copy them from Windows fonts folder in advance;
  3. Overwhelmingly long and complex tables in Word usually break. The most dire offender is how you unite cells and move separate cells' borders, because it breaks their structure. Google has workarounds iand limitations on that in their products. To ensure your table translates right, copy it into Excel and then back after setting all cells in Excel to text data, as it likes to reformat e.g. 18.03.2025 into date format and such.

Some of these problems occured to me between different installations of MS products themselves, and with LO I had it the other way: Excel had a bugged file that wasn't adjustable in how to print it. One column wasn't fitting on the page one, but once I move the guideline over that column, Excel cuts this table into 70+ pages, one cell on each. The only thing that helped is opening this exact file in LO Calc where this problem just can't be reproduced. Since that I use Calc first, and then Google Sheets as I haven't found a fitting online sharing solution for myself and get invited tonedit it by others, and Excel is not an option at all anymore.

So they routed all traffic in the WH through his sattelites, yay. Do I understand correctly that being an internet provider (and as WH can be singled out) means he can now know what resources everyone there access and force many proxy\VPN options shut? So he can get at least basic understanding if someone access matrix servers or whatever to leak data critical of DOGE, to block things he doesn't like (e.g. live streaming broadcast for select journalists) or just to get one more reason to fire everyone?
