I had to switch to Jerboa because Connect kept glitching out on a bunch of posts where it would load the image for a second, then just give a blank screen. So you'd need to either keep clicking out and reloading to hope it worked, or load externally in a browser.

I think it was worse than that. It was to test for and increase capability for military life, but the exercises themselves are not a good way to keep a general healthy body so it actually caused physical health to decline in the US.

Also fun is technically, while it is a fallacy in the general sense, in the Christian religion they actually talk about false Christians as part of Christianity. So in a general sense it is a fallacy, but by its own rules they can be called as such and technically isn't a fallacy. False prophets, pharisees, antichrist and whatnot.

Pinkerton are sadly still modern day stuff.

Don't forget the slavery profits from prisoners via the 13th amendments second clause.

In around 1946 it was changed from the word for man-bed to homosexual. This is due to translation from Greek to the various different languages, including English over the years. Apparently the original greek word used was arsenokoitai which wasn't the word for homosexual just meaning man-bed having many meanings such as sexual perverts, which if he meant explicitly homosexual he would have used paiderasste.

Except the anti-gay part is a 70 year old (seemingly deliberate) misinterpretation of a line saying a man shouldn't lay with a boy. Which was about not being a pedophile, which these religious "leaders" do daily, and not about homosexuality. The Gold metals go to religions for gymnastics, mental category.

I like the way you think. Really great way to take advantage of how illusions misdirect the senses so it doesn't matter that it isn't "real", it's real enough to manipulate your targets perception, even for just a vital second in combat which is the difference between victory and defeat. Best part is that the way you are talking using it isn't even really broken, it's as effective as what you can literally imagine, and no more.

I thought similarly until I tried it out. There's community control schemes you can copy for games, plus there's 4 extra buttons in the back you can quick remap them to either keyboard/mouse buttons or controller inputs, along with two click touchpads that can do that and more. Plus you can quick call a touch/navigatable keyboard to the screen. It takes a bit to get used to but once you do, it's hard going back. I actually ended up preferring using it handheld over using a dock to hook it to a TV with a controller paired to it.

The only games I'd say are hard to use would be like some mmorpg games that are best for keyboard & mouse.

Same here, but I'm still unsure if Lemmy is a good alternative. Having to sign up for every community just to upvote/downvote, comment, or post seems foolish. Posting, totally fine. Upvote/downvote and comment? That creates a problem.

I would be nice if they had centralized upvote/downvote and comments in one general login if they wanna get more users to migrate. They could allow communities to block that access if they want, for more control so only accepted users can interact, but otherwise it feels like im bound and gagged trying to use this site, at least compared to reddit.

These issues are like programming UI 101: Don't make the user have to login to too many things or over complicate it or they won't use it. Because of that I worry this ends up being only content interaction one way so I might as well just go back to TV or corporate media/news sites where users can't participate.

Edit: huh, I guess you can. Well nvm this is not bad.
