That’s the thing. America’s majority “progressive” cohort are still a little right of centre by the standard of most other developed societies. But for many conservatives, I think “progressive” is synonymous with “the far-left” in their minds, when really it’s more just playing catch up with the world or trying to restore intended concepts of the US Constitution.

Health, income protection, economic regulation, appropriately funded education, crisis/disaster/wellbeing support, etc. These are your “basics” by default. Common rights and protections for individuals. But if your country doesn’t have them, it would be seen as progress attaining them in the same way roads, voting, and sanitation were progress. It’s be foolish to stop evolving a society under the idea that there’s no benefit to new and proven advancements in society and culture. Your average American progressive just wants to roll that update in and get some nice new features and quality of living. When a conservative says “no!” they’re not realising they’re saying “yes” to continuing in their modern dark ages.

It’s doing my head in that it’s 2025 and some people are TILing this

Is there some beautiful autistic mind keeping infographical track of this stuff? My mere lesser brain only just entertained the idea of how interesting that’d be ro see.

Restart to find out.

“Couldn’t reboot because these programs”

9 of them

“Restart anyway?”

For sure! I’m pro-abortion so I’m sure as heck pro-auction. The birth having already happened is just a minor detail.

Besides, if a kid’s parents don’t want them, I’m sure that man in the nice blackout van will give them a much better childhood.

Yeah, that’s so much effort, I’d want to be paid extra for it.

we already had meters before we knew the speed of light.

It’s true.

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth and the metric system.

Genesis 1:3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.

I mean, if you’re not looking at just coding, Tyler bringing us Schedule 1 was pretty bad ass in many ways.

Of the many broken bones I’ve had, a snapped femur is one. The damage it did means I’m never walking without a limp or running at nearly the pace I could. All it did was compound above the knee. This is permanent massive life changing damage. That bone absolutely destroys all the critical muscle groups, blood vessels, and massive nervous system that flows down to your lower half.

Yeah, it’s the parents. Their views are passed on with every minute in the household. Children absorb.

I believe so, yes?

Take away your opinion, and then there is taken away the complaint, ‘I have been harmed.’ Take away the complaint, ‘I have been harmed,’ and the harm is taken away.

A person being offended by someone ghosting them is entirely up to that person. Coincidentally the kind of characteristic that some people rather ghost.

I really appreciate Commander Shepard (whoever the male is) when you select renegade options only. The voice lets out stoic, brazen, unfiltered bullshit that somehow fits in with everything going on. It’s like the serious version of Zapp Brannigan. I wouldn’t be surprised if Seth Green (Joker) influenced it and how to deliver it.

Also, John Marsden in RDR1. If you’re not American and know little about their Wild West era, that voice delivery is such a big layer of immersion, whereas other voice acting can really disconnect you from the experience. It being the voice of you helps with feeling like a part of the world. Like compare that to the cowboy from Octopath 🤢

I also really enjoyed a lot of the voices from KCD2. Rosa and Hans are excellent.

Huh, weird.

Okay, I’m definitely trying again.

Some of my older gear is fine, but an example of something that wasn’t working was my TD-27 V2 on a kit. What module is on yours?

Yeah I have tried it, but didn’t have luck unless I was driverless and that meant losing velocity. Maybe I configured wrong, it was kind of confusing but the internet said it was facing the same issues as me. Mainly this was for Roland stuff.

I was going to just get a laptop for Windows to record onto next to instruments and then transfer, but I’d rather just be able to plug into the DAW.

I grew up surfing in the late-90s early-00s, and we’d always paddle in to go to the same place for lunch. They had a jukebox and we always put on Yellow Submarine simply because one time flicking through someone thought it sounded funny, and turns out the song’s a bit of a joke. The owner hated the ritual, but he knew we’d put on Stairway To Heaven next and leave.

We chose Stairway To Heaven as loosely as we did Yellow Submarine. Never heard it before, but we had heard of it. Those two songs covered scoffing down lunch and then we’d paddle back out for the afternoon session.

This occured for years until we grew up and left town pursuing adult things as newly born adults now out of highschool.

The owner was a great guy. Told us as much as he hates Yellow Submarine, he was going to miss us as much as he loved Stairway To Heaven (along those lines anyway). We never learned each other’s names, but he always gave us shit when we walked in and told us to enjoy our surf when we left. Those two songs and that jukebox remind me of him all these years later and I’m sure they remind him of us punk ass surfer brats.

Yeah, peripherals lol. All my sim stuff is working brilliantly in Linux, however I still have some audio production stuff I need Windows for. Unfortunately, due to the need for minimal hardware latency and all that, Wine and VMs aren’t an option. Also a lack of drivers for some midi devices sucks.

Mine brain just does 0.75 × 4.

Thought process was…

1. Get 1% = 0.75
2. Double it = 1.5
3. Double it = 3

Financially protects her employer. The police can bust someone, but it won’t get the money back. So it works two-fold. Makes trying to rip people off seem less enticing because the risks of being caught are higher than what the government can handle, this in turn also reduces financial risks for her employer too. So she’s a sought after security investment that also gets to help everyday people too.

Best way to describe it, “whitehat”. Maybe grey t times… Something cybersec actually pays well for now where it used to just be a good ethics hobby.
