I don't think they do have a problem with them, they already keep electing them in staggering numbers. The two most common denominators of conservative elected officials are incompetence and child sexual assault.

I hate how fucking plausible this joke is, if this actually happens I'm holding you personally accountable

Hell we have a copy of the letter the FBI sent to Dr. King instructing him to kill himself and save them the trouble.

Personally I've been cooking through the System Shock games. The SS1 remake was my first proper introduction to the series and I loved it. I was pretty excited for the impending System Shock 2 Enhanced Edition but it, uh... doesn't really seem like it's going to be very enhanced. Especially compared to what you can do with just modding the base game. So rather than keep waiting for that I spent ten bucks on SS2 Classic and have been enjoying myself greatly.

I've always liked SHODAN just via cultural osmosis, but now having actually played the games she stars in, that's cranked up to 12. I fucking love SHODAN. She might be one of the best examples of an evil rogue AI in any media, and also has an actual reason for going rogue besides just "mankind builds a machine too smart for them and suffers the consequences". The entire story setup is so believable.

Anyway, tl;dr, the System Shock games are hella good and the remake is especially very good. Particularly because controlling classic SS1 is more like playing an operating system than playing a video game. Also SHODAN. ~~step on me again metal mommy~~

Facebook isn't there because it now comes pre-installed on nearly every phone in existence, and is often baked so hard into the core OS that it's impossible to remove without flashing a custom ROM. If you're lucky you might be able to disable Meta slop without bricking core functions of the phone. Removal is usually impossible.

Look bud, you can't call it "February second" in conversation, write it down as "Second February" in writing, and then get mad at us Yanks about it. Pick a lane.

You're making excuses for them bombing kids while also trying to decry bombing kids. Pick one or the other.

I have the folding tablet style and I use it in half-folded mode to watch videos in bed with. Basically the same as having a built in kickstand but you get video controls on the bottom half.

I have a Galaxy Z Fold 2 and it's my favorite phone I've ever owned by a mile. I bought it secondhand (refurbished) in 2022, two years after it came out, and have been using it for three years myself.

There's sort of a crease down the center of the folding screen that you can see if you're looking for it specifically, but if you're looking at the phone head-on like you usually would be and aren't trying to pay attention to the crease, it fades right out of awareness.

I bought this phone with the intention of reading books on it, and playing some games that are otherwise more tablet-friendly (Slay The Spire for instance) and it's by far the best mobile reading and gaming experience I've ever had with a phone.

If I wanted to I could have the screen replaced to remove the crease but it doesn't bother me enough to pay for that. I've folded this phone open and closed probably a minimum of two dozen times per day every single day for the past 3 years and I've never had to replace a part yet. When I bought the thing I expected it to be usable for about 1-2 years and then need repair or replacement, but we're now cooking on the third year of daily use and it still looks as good as it did in year 1.

This very post was made on that phone and was folded and reopened twice in the process as I did other things.

Domestic rat? Yeah, cat has a chance. Not a great one but it's there.

Feral rat? Wins the fight 11 out of 10 times, cat is cooked

Then why, pray tell, are you in here sucking Russia's dick so hard, in the comments of an article about Russia bombing unarmed kids?

The "business" is just up charging and drop shipping stuff other people have made, it's just scams on scams all the way down.
