Fuck, I was hearing the music in my head and didn't even realize it until you said that.

Where do you get the visa to stay in the country from?

IO acquired the license voluntarily and had to convince the Bond owners to let them license the IP. So they're not swinging in the dark. Furthermore, Hitman is basically James Bond with a different coat of paint. I wouldn't be remotely surprised if all IO did for a tech demo to convince them was reskin Agent 47 and then play through the game as-is.

Projection is the thing some people do where they accuse someone else of something they themselves do, especially when there is no reason to suspect the accused. It could be considered a form of self-report.

An example might be if a racist individual (lets call them Bob) accuses someone of racism (Joe) because they crossed a street. Joe may have had plenty of valid reasons to cross the street; maybe they wanted to go into the shop across the street, maybe their car was parked on the other side, maybe they saw a friend and wanted to surprise them. Bob, however, being a racist fuck, sees Joe cross the street, sees a black man walking down the sidewalk that Joe just left, and immediately jumps to the conclusion that Joe was crossing the street to avoid the black dude. The reality is that Joe didn't even notice the black guy, but Bob, being a racist fuck, assumes that Joe is just doing the same thing that Bob would have done.

That is projection.

I'm not sure if that fully answers your question, though I will say I see people seemingly jump the gun a lot. Accusing someone of projecting is similar to accusing someone of arguing in bad faith; except instead of accusing them of arguing in bad faith, you're accusing them of making accusations "in bad faith", so to speak. However, like accusing someone of arguing in bad faith, some people will just use it to shut people down.

Thankfully, as a long-time Firefox user, I've never been pampered by this magical feature and so it's not something I miss. Perhaps a chrome exodus will cause Firefox to pick it up though.

Then again, I'm currently wearing a tinfoil hat that says, "Mozilla's CEO is a Google sleeper agent" so I'm about 50/50 on whether or not Mozilla will just straight-up fold in a couple years; but there's still the half that's hopeful!

I've always loved the insanity of 40's~60's era concept cars.

"What's that? 4 wheels are good? Well that must mean that 6 would be even better!"

"Nuclear energy!? We'll stick a buncha that into a car!"

"Wouldn't it be great if your car could detect a collision before it happened? Well, we're gonna stick radar (in the late 50's) on our car so it warns you before you hit something."

Lemon Jelly - Ramblin' Man (the whole album is good, but Ramblin' Man is very chill)

Mr. Scruff - Keep it Unreal (I especially enjoy Midnight Feast, Shanty Town, Jusjus and Fish.)

$150 for the WinRAR bag. $250 for a varsity jacket. Look, the designs are cool, but it appears that once again I will not be paying for WinRAR.

(Besides, I use 7zip nowadays)

Edit: seriously; a $150 bag and they can't be assed to use a real buckle.

Literally Hypnospace Outlaw.

Edit: Dreamsettler can't come soon enough.

We can do both of these things at the same time; kinda like teaching kids that wikipedia can tell you an overview of a topic and help provide you with sources to start your research paper, but Wikipedia itself isn't a good source.
