"That's why my client acted reasonably and dare I say heroically, when they saw these masked men dragging the witness into an unmarked vehicle, drew their legally carried sidearm, and engaged these individuals until they were no longer a threat."
Why hasn't this happened yet?!
This country should never be safe for predators who want to throw people into vans.
Super helpful! Thanks! :D
Figures like that are still mind boggling. Like..."We put dudes up there!!!"
I'll never stop being awed and impressed by the vastness of space and just about anything humanity has done with it.
Especially because from the ground just looking up there, you can almost convince yourself it's not that far, and if you just believed hard enough, you could simply reach out and touch it.
Many don't turn around and try making a start-up game though, most just burn out of the industry forever.
I think a big reason for this is because they need to have some kinda airtight clandestine OPSEC if they want to work on anything themselves that they plan to show anybody.
It's been common practice for AAA's to say "Anything you make while you're employed here at all is ours." Sometimes even if you're not AT the studio when you do it.
They just simply assume entitlement to your creativity.
So, quit and make that indie darling, right? But then you need a financial "runway" set up, which sets a hard time limit on production and adds a ton of stress, and you'd better hope it sells well enough to make back the lost income.
The indie successes we've seen are nothing short of extraordinary, but also a textbook example of survivorship bias in action. For every success, there's a million projects that never got off the ground, much less sold successfully.
Facing all this...I celebrate the efforts that beat the odds, and love genuinely good games that simply didn't sell enough to keep the ball rolling.
But I don't fault anybody for just going into something more stable before burnout hits, and they would be destroyed from the inside out.
...mmm, Riot maybe?
Like thanking that dude for breaking up with Adele since her breakout album was basically a breakup album. If you're into Adele. Lol
This made me laugh way more than it should have rofl
I remember playing Modern Warfare on my 360 over LIVE and that perk was so satisfying...
... And then I switched to "Hardcore mode" with friendly fire and forgot I left it on. The boys were not happy when we were holding a position and I got dropped. Tink tink...oops.
Point is, this feels kinda like that: Humanity is supposed to be on the same side and friendly fire is enabled. Nobody should be picking Martyrdom. =/
A phallic jape
This is written like one of his "agents" is also in charge of social media posts lol.
"Read this document. Was it made with Ai?"
"Yes, it sure was! Great catch!"
"You're wrong, I just wrote it myself 15 minutes ago."
"Teeheehee oopsie! Silly me! I'll try to do better next time then! Is there anything else I can help with?"
This looks like an HDRI sphere render. :D
Found this on iFunny lol.
The Hated One has been pretty solid in the past regarding privacy/security, imho. I found this video of his rather enlightening and concerning.
---personal opinion---
This is why I personally think federated computing like Lemmy or PeerTube to be the only logical way forward. Spreading out the internet across infrastructure nodes that can be cooled by fans in smaller data centers or even home server labs is much more efficient than monstrous, monolithic datacenters that are stealing all our H2O.
Of course, then the 'Net would be back to serving humanity instead of stock-serving megacultists. . .
This sounds just like all the ridiculously hollow propaganda Putin was dropping for justifying the attack on Ukraine.
"We're rescuing them from uh, really bad people, er... By invading them, yes. They wanna be Russian so bad!"
