I'm more interested in what inflammatory things Trump is going to say as that'll directly affect sentencing.

Also hes a rapist. A judge said so.

I need to figure out how to get admired Kobo books into Calibre with the DRM stripped in the process. There was a Humble Bundle recently where I got Kobo copies of every Discworld book for about $18, so it was too good to pass up,

Wish I saw that, holy cow.

I have an ebook manager for portability and can convert formats as needed. The reason I don't like iOS is because of all the ways it tries to lock you into a proprietary ecosystem. I can drop Kindle any time I want.

Yeah, Kindle definitely isn't as bad as iOS for it by a longshot but I don't want to have to go through the annoyance (even if it's minor) of converting formats.

The Kindle Scribe is 10 inches! It's been a godsend I can't go back to the Paperwhite. I don't even use the scribe features I just wanted the bigger display.

I'm more a Kobo guy when it comes to e-readers, for kinda the same reason I'm an Android guy over iOS.

Any chance I can release the tech before I'm murdered? Cause I'll do that fully knowing I'll still be murdered but at least I got the tech out.

I went from iOS to Android myself, never regretted for a second the swap. Much prefer being on Android as I hate how locked down iOS is.

Anybody who thinks Biden not being on the ballot in Ohio would have zero impact on the votes he'll get in Ohio and no impact down ballot are nuts.

It's been tempting to switch just to get iMessage.

Not going to be an issue for too much longer since iOS is getting RCS finally.

The cost you can bet is even lower for a lot of the people who run these bot nets, you can be sure a number of them build up their bot net from peoples PC's out there that are infected with malware.

oh noooooo

Lol, I AM saying we should absolutely damage the scalping market :P

Sputnik1337 posted...

the practice isnt going anywhere because it lets ticket master say see we dont overcharge our customers; the tickets retail for $60! while proceeding to give the scalpers exclusive presale access to ticket sales and then taking a % cut from each ticket the scalpers sell.

Reselling isn't going anywhere because it's legal. Unless politicians want to make it illegal I think the best we can hope for is some pricing restrictions on reselling. Cause lets be real, this isn't only a Ticketmaster problem, all the resell markets have the same insane prices. You legislate limits on reselling and you'll suddely seriously damage the scalping market. It would result in less bots and shit so people have a better chance at getting tickets. Right now scalping is just WAY too insanely profitable with absolutely crazy profit margins.

I know a lot of people hate government restricting prices but holy shit sometimes it's needed.

DipDipDiver posted...

Ticketmaster isn't going anywhere, but the govt for sure needs to step in and regulate they asses

What needs serious regulation is the reselling market, that's where ticket prices get jacked up to the absolutely ludicrous levels. There needs to be price caps set on how much you can resell a ticket for.

For instance, if a ticket costs $60, how the fuck is it fine for it to suddenly show up on the resale market for $2,000?

You sort out the resale market and things will get a lot more sane.

Anything above 120 is pointless. Even the difference between 60 and 120 is barely noticeable.

I mean, I'm reading the answers. Seems like the USA needs something like a Federal Electoral Comission to regulate elections, handle redistricting, and ensure free and universal access to whatever they need in order to vote. All non-partisan.

And you think the Republicans would allow a non-partisan commission to oversee elections and ensure no bullshit happens?

I've seen ANH, ESB and RotJ an equal number of times.

BlackOmnimon posted...

Many other countries have that. It would be available for free at every county or even neighborhood, like in some of those other countries.

Because we know how the Republicans would restrict it and make it onerous to get.

Nobody would complain about such a card if it was super easy to get and had no costs associated with getting it. That's not the reality of it though. You'd find for well off white people? No problem, super easy to get. For poor and minorities? Suddenly you'd have a bunch of roadblocks.

The performance hasn't gotten any better with patches? Is it worse on a launch Switch compared to the OLED one?

Performance got worse with the DLC, not better.

Also game performance between the Switch and OLED Switch are identical.

I cannot recommend Pokemon Scarlet/Violet due to the issues with the game, they're straight up unacceptable.

No, my friends are nowhere near that irresponsible.

I quoted the part I wanted to quote. The other part of the quote is entirely too much of an endorsement of prison violence as being fine and it's not.

This is not true at all, she released a book outlining what went wrong in 2016, and more than 90% of it talking about the mistakes of herself and the people she hired, saying that the buck stopped with her because she was responsible for her own campaign.

She also spent a little bit of time pointing out things like sexism that contributed to her losing, and guess what the media focused on? Yep, those parts, completely ignoring the parts where she took responsibility and pushing the narrative that she blames everyone but herself.

Why do I suspect this is happening again? I wonder if in context, it's just her talking about the issues that other women in politics face today, and hoping they can do better than she did? Or maybe once again she also talked about her own mistakes, but that is being ignored?

Oh, she wrote a book. Well that certainly makes up for how EVERY time she's interviewed or speaking about the election in public she blames literally everybody but herself.

How does a 10 year old even think about things like this??

Because life is unbearable when everybody hates you at that age. If I didn't have my small group of friends I could have ended up like this kid, elementary and high school were hell for me from grade 2 onwards.

She's just completely incapable of self reflection.

FFXIV and WoW nowadays trade back and forth between which is more popular, a lot of people seem to switch back and forth between them. When one goes dry in new content they switch to the other and back and forth.

Fucking sick, people should be reporting them to the FBI, may not help but at least it's probably more effective than relying on fucking YouTube AI moderation.

If you want something like that, then get a dog.

Naw, my kid makes me far happier than my dog does. Also the sense of pride I feel when she accomplishes something really difficult for her? Feels great. It's just incredible watching her grow up.

You'd have sane people refusing to give dislikes because nobody sane is willing to contribute to murdering a person. So you'd basically be letting the most terminally online psychopaths and the echo chambers they inhabit have the power to determine who lives or dies.

That wasn't a god, it was just Larry. He's probably off his meds again.

When you're feeling a bit down you have somebody who is happy to give you a great big hug to cheer you up.

At least until they become a teenager :P

but 7 have to be out of order

At LEAST.

Pretty much every breed of herding dog likes to bark and can do so loudly.

My corgi is very well trained but getting her to not bark is difficult.

It IS pretty adorable though when somebody is away from the house? When they come home my dog will run to wherever somebody is home, give a quick bark and then run back out of the room and run to the front door to greet whoever just came home.

Todd Howard can keep his grubby mitts off Dragon Quest thank you very much.

So FFXIV Hydaelyn, I'm giga fucked.

How can they use the song and not even show him in the trailer?!

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/4/42438435.jpg

Why would they? The song was made for the first movie and predates Crazy Frog.

I kinda want to watch the old movies again, also I never did see 3, I should rectify that.

Looks a bit angry

Feels like it's getting all it's info from Onion Articles. Like "Geologists recommend eating one rock a day"?

That one was definitely from The Onion. But Obama being a Muslim, the glue in pizza, killing yourself to cure your depression? Screams reddit. I also saw a link that shows the glue in pizza absolutely came from reddit.

Seriously, what the fuck did Google think was going to happen by training their LLM on Reddit? You can be pretty near certain that Gemini learned that "Obama is a Muslim" from some shitty racist conservative subreddit.

Extremely well? Only one.

I speak Italian very poorly and French laughably bad though.

I think sometimes people confuse zoos with the circus. Zoos are actually really really good. Circuses need to be totally eliminated.

There's still plenty of zoo's in the world that are pretty awful and they tend to taint peoples views of zoos on the whole, same with aquariums.

Snoke was never the main villain..not even in tfa.

You're right in that they had no idea who would be in TFA.

Toonstrack posted...

And a better character than snoke.

Hard disagree. Ben was obnoxious and annoying, that hardly makes a compelling villain.

Toonstrack posted...

According to whom? She wasn't "supposed" to do anything. Anglin didn't get trained in his second movie. We skipped all the training and hes basically fully fledged.

This is the problem you want rhe movies to follow liteesl made up blueprints that don't actually exist. You went in with expectations defined by these blueprints and then got mad when the movie didn't listen to you.

Yeah, you're right, having her just magically power up because the Force wills it was just SUCH good writing. No need to actually explain her improving skill with the Force at all right?

Kylo ren isnt a sith. Luke also went up against Darth fricking Vader with barely any training.

Funny you bring up Luke going against Darth Vader when I brought that up as a problem with Lukes character and then you respond to my problem with Luke with:

Amaizng. Every word you just said... was wrong.

This response makes literally no sense, you're not even trying. I'm not the one saying other people "don't need to have an opinion on star wars", that's you and that's literally gate keeping.

TLJ at least tried to not directly copy other star wars movies.

And I'd probably argue that Rian Johnson could probably make a good Star Wars movie on its own, he was absolutely the wrong choice though for the middle movie of a trilogy.

Dark_twisted posted...

Of course he does. He wants America to become a police state.

Almost exactly what I was going to say, except instead of "He wants" in that second sentence I would have had "Republicans want".

Toonstrack posted...

This is also a lie.

The 3rd movie has two entire different scripts proving this.

People who think this donr know how to write. Id you can't make a star wars movie about of a small rebellion, a reinvigorated first order with a new leader, and all the heroes on a joined front with the lead jedu beginning her training, then you dont need to have an opinion on star wars.

Thats what TLJ left the next person with. They just got someone who is known for being bad at endings.

TLJ left the next movie with the main villain dead and the replacement being a whiny brat. Rey was supposed to get training in TLJ but the ball on that was dropped hard so you have somebody who is supposed to be only really starting their training who's supposed to go up against a fully trained Sith, it's nonsense. Luke at least had an indeterminate amount of time training with Yoda and even that begged belief that he could stand up to Vader as well as he did in RotJ.

TLJ was a garbage movie, RoS was also a garbage movie, TFA was bad but at least left stuff to build off of.

Now, if I was an ass I'd say you are the one who doesn't need to have an opinion on Star Wars but I'm not the obnoxious sort of fan who tries to act as a gate keeper on media just because others don't necessarily share my opinion.
