Did they really not vote for it? I feel like right-wing people might actually want this sort of inhumane mass expulsion.

I think it’ll just keep sinking for a long time. The US has been hell for a very long time. It’s just gotten worse.

It’s illegal to revolt against the state, and it’s illegal for individual states to seek independence. And that’s for the nation with the strongest armed forces in the world.

I predict a slow, boring descent into a corporatist dystopia.

Their only chance at a defense (and it’s incredibly bad) is arguing that they only stole the stuff but didn’t distribute it to others. Kinda like buying drugs is typically not as severely punished as selling them.

But yeah I really don’t think copyright laws are gonna change in a way that makes happy little individual piracy easier. Meta might want that at this very moment, but they’ll for sure feel differently about THEIR intellectual property.

Without even thinking about big vocal IP holders like Disney.

It was always a mystery that they maintained two features with basically the same function in parallel for so long. Hopefully they made it better than the last time I gave it a try, because otherwise, oof.

Isn’t that true, all other things being equal?

Look for other advice for repairing them, but making your couch feet bigger and softer with tennis balls or felt should prevent it from worsening.

Can you talk to your Facebook friends on Signal?

Canada, that actually has land really close to Greenland: haha let’s play a silly war of flags and alcohol over an island no one cares about, it’ll be fun.

The US, that has absolutely nothing to do there: all your base are belong to us

Oh yeah, I’m realizing this late but I’ve got a feeling you might like twists on the magical girl genre like Mahou Shoujo Ikusei Keikaku. Puella Magi Madoka Magica was among the first and is all a fan favourite, but it’s not the one I like the most.

Mangaka. Author.

Akagi is a mahjong manga. It assumes you know mahjong from the beginning. I wouldn’t recommend it unless you really like the game. I barely made it 6 pages into the manga after someone gifted me a volume for Japanese practice.

If you want to see a lighter take on gambling, maybe Kakegurui or No Game No Life.

If you want death game stuff, maybe Btooom!. Mirai Nikki is also a classic in the same vein. Much more over the top would be the Fate series (Fate Stay Night, Fate Unlimited Blade Works, Fate Zero, etc.) Much less intense but still enjoyable was Death Parade. And we’re getting pretty far from the theme but theoretically Sword Art Online checks the death game box; reviled by true connoisseurs 🍷, I still think it’s plenty enjoyable if you don’t think about it too deeply.

If you’re looking for something in the “psychological” category, I can recommend Psycho-Pass for something serious with action, Oshi no ko for something serious with drama ,or Kaguya-sama wa kokurasetai! for a lighter take.

Oh my god. I think I’ll just go back to my teapot.

I keep seeing bloody under-nails in that picture.

Hmm, I see. I imagine there might be an engineering reason too. Maybe there’s some advantage to only ever halving/doubling memory for a given chip?

They’re jumping straight from 8 to 16. I wonder why they explore the in-betweens so little.
