I definitely get where you’re coming from. NieA_7 was my first thought, which is another yoshitoshi ABe work. There is something cozy about his work, even though it can be intensely emotional at times.

do you chew on them, or what?

Maybe… Is it that weird?

I always chewed on pens in school too. Hmm.

He added that, while waiting in the minivan for his citation, he caught a glimpse of the agents in the vehicle with him receiving text messages from a group chat called “Chiraq Team 2.”

This was the only bit of the article actually related to the headline, which feels a bit clickbaity.

That aside, it was a good window in to just how far things have gone in the US. Scary stuff.

I don’t normally get affected by celebrity deaths, but this is awful. Danya was one of the most kindhearted people in the chess community. As a commentator he made the game fun, accessible, and very entertaining. He was one of the very few people who both commentated regularly and still played at the highest level. He was a driven competitor, and was always a serious contender to win any speed chess event he was in.

What a huge blow to the chess community. :(

*chuu*

Change the T to a P then an E, maybe even a Z, and then we’re in the right ballpark.

I spent enough time on the site with green text in my youth that it does not, but it’s still fun to sometimes pretend I have a shred of innocence left. (:

HUH?

He actually has a calmer one, but it’s not always around. It comes and goes.

OP, that title is dangerously incorrect… I’m not sure if The Guardian messed up and has since fixed it, but in any case, the article’s title currently reads:

You might want to update your title to match.

Is it really that bad? I don’t really play metroidvanias, but thought I’d give it a try and have really being enjoying it. You have to go in with the expectation that a lot of fights might take 5-10 tries to learn all the mechanics and build muscle memory. It’s a hard game, but also very rewarding when you progress precisely because it doesn’t spoon-feed you victories.

Also, IIRC, they’ve already released a few patches to tone down the difficulty in some of the tougher spots.

hewwo :3

Is it just me, or has there been a concerted effort in the mainstream media lately to platform vegan recidivists? Somebody is scared of losing their blood money.

Sadly, that doesn’t disqualify him from holding office.

The future of this elegant and proven system was put in jeopardy last month, when Google unilaterally decreed that Android developers everywhere in the world are going to be required to register centrally with Google.
[…]
If it were to be put into effect, the developer registration decree will end the F-Droid project and other free/open-source app distribution sources as we know them today, and the world will be deprived of the safety and security of the catalog of thousands of apps that can be trusted and verified by any and all.

Just quoting a few key excepts here, but the whole thing is worth a read.

EDIT: I used Photoshop’s AI to fully corrupt the plate. Nothing kills text harder than AI.

Ahh, that makes more sense. I was trying to understand why only the licence plate looked AI generated. Either that or why it’d have “Valencia College”, distorted “Arizona” and something resembling Hebrew script.

Yeah, I was a bit strategically ambiguous, because there are edge cases that could really make it go either way.

Most victimless (or self-victimising) crimes should be legal.

There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can’t take part; you can’t even passively take part, and you’ve got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you’ve got to make it stop. And you’ve got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you’re free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!
