Most modern cars have hill assist, but it might still be a help to use the handbrake when starting on a hill, or at least know how to do it.

Defundly not.

Ultima IX: Ascension (1999)

I genuinely enjoyed the game. Fans of the series claim that it destroyed the franchise. Perhaps they’re right, but the franchise was pretty fucked up to begin with.

Probably true. TEMU is personally also my most downloaded app. I’ve downloaded TEMU 3 time this year. Never opened it. Always uninstalled it immediately.

It installs automatically on some Samsung phones. I think it’s after system updates. The Samsung store will pop up and recommend some apps. It then installs TEMU regardless of what you choose.

Sounds about right. The strategy is chaos.

They’re improvising the whole thing.

It’s method acting.

Everyone from the lowest LARP’ing ICE agents to the orange faced chief of clowns have been in role for so many years that they all forgot what reality is outside of their theatre of the grotesque.

The difference is my willingness to buy a new one.

I don’t want to.

Send away. Yeah. Send away. Just fucking send it.

All military parades are ridiculously embarrassing.

I remember when they used to air the annual Scottish tattoo on tv.

I mean, it’s probably fun for anyone who participates or has a hard on for bagpipes, but for the rest of the world, it’s a ridiculous event where an audience shows up to watch men in uniform walk in beat and show their rifles in sync. It’s like square dancing, but only for men, and longer guns.

Good thing that I can switch channels, so I can watch syncronized swimming from the Olympics instead. I like their uniforms better.

Clockwork orange.

It’s like that chip tune webpage where the entire track is encoded in the url.

And? What happens next?

I acknowledge your feeling at this moment. However, politics are decisions about the future. Will you welcome them then? Will you accept their votes on your side at the next election?

They’re misled idiots for sure, but there’s no benefits in keeping them in that position just out of spite.

Unions are gangs. Companies are gangs. Any group of people larger than 2 is a gang.

The difference is that unions are democratic, while companies (and criminal gangs) are top down hierarchy.

Not a hoopy frood.

The guy bankrupts everything he touches. Go ahead, take down the church.

People ought to deny ICE service for a start. Anyone in their vicinity can contribute and nothing is too small.

If they want anything from you, it’s your duty to make sure they can’t have it.

If they order a sandwich, they should be told the sandwich maker is broken today. Every day. If they need a car repair, that part will take six months to arrive. When they pay for electricity, their payment was misplaced. Their garages should be blocked by parked cars. The garbage truck should accidentally drive past their property again this week. Etc.

Don’t be an ICE collaborator.

For text, I suppose it’s similar to writring nonsense in background color instead of spaces or by using an invisible font. AI could probably figure it out and filter it.

The reason it works for music is that AI doesn’t really understand the “grammar” of music, so it just treats it like an image.

I hate the mandatory “updates” which is only a prompt to install “suggested” apps. Even when deselecting everything, it still starts downloading TEMU. Fuck that.
