Could you imagine the Epstein brain that would ensue if it managed to accident actually kill one or more justices? Like how do you convince someone that wasn't an assassination, rocks just so happened to fall and everyone died?

Libredirect in general is fantastic, a lot of shit websites become so much more usable. In particular not having to use Fandom is a godsend, that website in particular is just awful.

it uses barely anything. youtube-tui is a TUI not CLI, you can click on shit and it'll run on hardware that for some reason cannot handle freetube of all things. you will have to set up mpv or something for most leaner alternatives to get video running on hardware that modest.

Neovim can can certainly be an IDE, but its complexity comes from having a lot of features to rapidly edit text. d5d deletes 5 lines, vwwy selects two words and yanks them, gg returns to the beginning of the file, etc. It'll maybe do some code highlighting out of the box but its featureset is about never needing to touch a mouse or leave home row.

It's about like notepad++ on Windows in that it's very good for quick edits of a file or otherwise manipulating plaintext but it isn't good out of the box for actual writing meant to be read by other human beings.

I mean, it'd take forever to do it smoothly, right? Like it's spinning pretty damn fast if it's able to rotate completely in 24 hours, there is no way it could go the other way for just 24 hours without that requiring everything you've ever known to be launched into the east like water shaken from a dog's coat.

your cops too, especially the one you're related to.

Really wish people would talk more about just how widespread this is, there are so many pedophile cops and they keep getting to be cops after being exposed.

I have exactly one use for Brave and that has been Steam Deck's game mode as Firefox's context menus don't work in gamescope, and Brave at the time seemed like the best ad blocking Chromium alternative. Apparently it's not, so fuck it.

aren't you on a fucking anarchist instance, ding dong? shut the fuck up, we don't do "apolitical" theatrics here.

It's so silly too, because if they just let the game come out as-is, even if it is overshadowed by this much better game, it would at least either make money or not be that big a loss, and then the next game can start with a clean slate with lessons learned. Sure, make changes that can be reasomably made, but sometimes a game just won't be the best out there - and that is fine for a publisher that large to take the occasional L.

I actually recommend against buying new parts for a PC, as there are many very good used PC's for sale for very cheap. It's also more environmentally responsible to use some rich dickhead's "old" computer than to buy new. Last gen cards are still extremely capable.

The only caveats I would add would be that you might consider a partial PC that has good parts and then complete it (ie buying your own storage, NVMe drives are amazing) and that you should never use the Windows installation that is on there, because people will put malware like cryptominers on them. Do a fresh installation of Windows or Linux every time, completely wiping the drive, so that there is no chance of them stealing your Robux.
