I kinda get it as a policy decision. I don’t like it, but I understand the risk and I can empathize.

What really bugs me though is this announcement right here and then it just… didn’t happen. It feels kind of dishonest to have a big announcement welcoming them back and then nothing comparative saying that they apparently changed their minds immediately. Feels like there should at least be an edit/addendum to this announcement being like ‘psych, fingers crossed!’. Trying to defuse with humor, I do know any statement would invite discontent from the userbase, but I feel like the complete lack of one kind of kills our trust in the admins here even more.

My friend, they’re joking.

The Steam Controller 2 leaks seem a lot more reliable. There was also the hori steam controller not long ago, but not sure if that’s in the US.

It’s real confusing.

They state that they’ve done this right there, but it seems like there might have been a miscommunication somewhere and doesn’t look like anyone ever actually got around to removing the block at a technical level. Both piracy communities are still currently blocked on lemmy.world a year later.

But like…

Does it still work?

It’s just for-profit prisons but now in El Salvador:

Bukele later confirmed the agreement with Rubio on X, saying in a post, “We are willing to take in only convicted criminals (including convicted US citizens) into our mega-prison (CECOT) in exchange for a fee.”

El Salvador’s Terrorism Confinement Center, commonly referred to as CECOT, is the country’s largest and newest prison, with a maximum capacity of 40,000 inmates.

“The fee would be relatively low for the US but significant for us, making our entire prison system sustainable,” he added.

Primary goal is stated as holding deportees, but the option of holding US citizens was floated by El Salvador as well. Deporting US citizens in this matter should currently be illegal.

Trader Joe’s got rid of their Honey Butter chips in 2018 and I’m still salty about it.

It’s somewhat tricky, it refers to ‘the people’ or ‘persons’, but some things don’t make sense if you apply it to non-citizens. There’s been cases to establish how it applies in regards to specific amendments, but I haven’t heard of something coming up that definitively established whether that applies for the right to assemble.

Almost all the links in my front homepage are sponsored now. What’s next, a few ads in the bookmark bar? How about when I enter a URL, I then have to type “McDonald’s” before I can actually navigate there?

Don’t give them new ideas, Sony might jump in and patent that too.

If I remember right, things start to turn around somewhere north of 350k yearly.

I used to have a job supporting devices like these. You don’t need a lot of power to run these and you can get a used device exceptionally cheap that can probably do the job most of the time. You can get really old too if the resolution on the image isn’t too high, probably not actually older than ARM, but old enough where you wonder how close it is for a second.

If you’re thinking about asking the AI whether it’s a good time to hydrate, the answer is yes.

It’s not that you’ll never be happy, it’s that you’ll never be done. Some days that sucks and some days that’s the best part.

Push through it, giving up hurts more.

So, we’ve got a range.

The cheapest set of generic eggs is the Penny Smart Grade A Large Eggs for $3.99, but my local grocery also has another set of eggs that appears to be equivalent in quality from the store brand for $4.99. There’s also cage free for $7.99 and another cage free that looks to be identical from the same brand for $8.69. Generic organic (cage/etc not listed) in the plastic container is $6.99.

They work sporadically, but you have to fit a few fairly specific archetypes to get a significant amount of matches. There’s more options that you can shoot for beyond hyper-attractive guy but not a lot more.

If you’re a generic man looking to find a generic woman to have a generic relationship with, then the odds are stacked against you for most of them.

I think one of the various interface options does, but you can just use one of the multitude of third party apps available as well.

If we had near 100% voter turnout, there’d be a hell of a lot more battleground states.

When it comes to Moon Knight, I can’t even be sure if this is from a real comic or not. Legitimately a coin flip.

Winning is detrimental to the party.

At a certain point, they realized that they make more money when they lose. The end goal of both parties isn’t to win, it’s to make the most money for their members. The democrats just happen to have stumbled into a situation where they have a perverse incentive to fuck things up just enough to barely lose so that they can keep their funding up.

About to learn that some cultures have never even had to deal with it as a real possibility so there’s zero social stigma.
