I think the steps are the only challenge. Just going to the bathroom accrudes 1000 steps sometimes

I think this comment convinced me to get a standing desk. For some reason, I can never get my legs to fit under a desk comfortably, even if I adjust the chair height

Everyday, I wanna ram my car into a building and hope I run over the CEO in their office.

Now the hardest part isn't ditching and risking my way of life, but choosing which CEO to ram 🤬

Y'know, why can't there be 2 Olympics? One hosted somewhere else at the same time to just ignore and exile the US. I'm sorry the state has become a parasite leeching on the globe

I know America is a giant cesspool right now, but I still like to cling onto the values and lessons I was raised on as a kid.

Today on 1776, the Declaration of Independence was approved by congress and the United States was born. I was taught that the founding fathers were fighting for freedom, liberty, representation. These were the first Americans who wanted to be heard and declared themselves a new nation from one of the biggest empires in the world.

Now there are multiple opinions on the past, present, and future of the US, but I was raised on the notion that the American spirit means standing up for ourselves. This nation is for the people, and we will not listen to any tyrants. To quote the actual document in question:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."

At this point, it's more like a checklist to see how many amendments he can break.

Question: Do I have a choice on what controller I use?

For some reason, I imagined the controller scheme of a Wii and using the pointer controls to type each letter

No matter how much spray tan he uses, he could never take away Obama's achievement of being the FIRST president of color.

Nah, I imagine bank robbers as classy. These thugs look like the "gang members" they're so desperately scared of. They look like they're hiding weapons in their pockets to cause public terror. They look like they're about to jump me for being in their territory and mug me of all my belongings. They make me feel like I should avoid walking down whatever street they're holding up.

These are straight up criminals, looking like they're about to commit crime.

Dude is literally getting his parade rained on. I think even God is sending us signs

 

For how often I see articles talking about the dangers of tech, I'm surprised at the lack of mention for watch_dogs. Sure, its just a silly little Ubisoft game series, but this game series predicted so much of today's world. The 2nd game is basically propoganda against corporations hoarding so much data, exploring how each of them exploit the world they inhabit. If you haven't played the game, I highly recommend checking it out just for the intro alone. It might not be real world events or actual statistics, but it sure broke down some of the major problems in the industry into something my 13 year old brain could comprehend when I first played the game.

 

So I recently bought an old wii, specifically for the purpose of homebrewing. I'm able to understand so far as to what needs downloaded on the Wii and how to backup, but I can't find any sites with games. I noticed Vimms Lair wasn't an option anymore, and other sites I look through use ROMs for emulators. (Unless, those do work on the console). I think you need .wbfs files, and I'd really appreciate if I was pointed in the right direction

 

So I've recently started to replay Watch_Dogs (digital version) on PS5 and oddly enough, it's the only game that won't suspend in rest mode. The console itself has to tell me it won't keep the game open and it'll close in 30 seconds. I've played both PS4/5 and use both digital and physical copies between my library. Anyone have an explanation?
