What if downvotes actually did something?
  • I wonder if there would be a way for him to set that up user side for himself? Seems like it would be trivial...

  • US Postal Service stops accepting parcels from China
  • You mean my YOOBOO power bank isn't a US product?! Amazon has the weirdest "branding" for that junk.

  • Colombia’s president: Legalize cocaine, it’s no worse than whiskey
  • I don't know if most people would even know considering its usually stepped on a half dozen times and cut with caffeine and even nastier stuff... And those are the good cutting agents, not the poisons.

    Average purity in the US is like 35-60% depending on the market. That's atrocious.

  • 'Meta Torrented over 81 TB of Data Through Anna's Archive, Despite Few Seeders'
  • Well i think you can also torrent off of there too. There are massive backup files on their home page that they are basically begging people to download and seed... So maybe it's that?

  • Pam Bondi instructs Trump DOJ to criminally investigate companies that do DEI
  • No, it's not bad enough yet. There is nothing in the constitution allowing for secession. Blue state's economies will have to be destroyed before they band together and decide enough is enough.

    There needs to be a critical mass, no state is going to do it on their own because the military could just roll over them.

  • Co-President Elon Musk wants to abolish federal regulations
  • I am having my buddy machine glock switches that I will sell on EBay if they do that. We will make a killing in the first couple weeks before the market gets saturated.

  • 'Meta Torrented over 81 TB of Data Through Anna's Archive, Despite Few Seeders'
  • Those are torrents, Annas Archive is typically used for direct downloads.

  • Elon Musk barred from accessing US Treasury payments data
  • Need media to keep asking "Who actually is the president" and accidentally saying "President Musk" over and over

  • Game suggestions for PS5
  • Neat. I think I am going to try Cyberpunk next because it was recommended twice here and Outer Worlds 2 comes out this year... So I am assuming there will be a price drop for the first one.

  • White House preparing executive order to abolish the Department of Education
  • They already plan to transfer them to the treasury department

  • Trump signs executive order intended to bar transgender athletes from girls' and women's sports
  • Lol! They are planning on cutting all of that funding anyway...

  • Flag flown upside down as sign of distress outside of US State Department building today
  • Like when Elon gets rid of "all regulations" make private bounty hunters/hitman legal again?

  • Which part of DEI do you hate?
  • I think people vastly overestimate the impact of DEI anyway. Where I have worked it's basically you can't discriminate against women or minorities.

    There were no extra points for hiring or promotion. HR had their diversity goals, but it was really out of their hands other than targeted advertising.

    The elephant in the room that the anti DEI folk dance around is simply "But we want to discriminate!"

  • You Can’t Post Your Way Out of Fascism | Authoritarians and tech CEOs now share the same goal: to keep us locked in an eternal doomscroll instead of organizing against them
  • I mean 54% read at or below a 6th grade level, so that makes sense. Almost a fifth to a half of adult Americans are functionally illiterate depending on how you define it.

  • Or that doesn't try to kill you
  • Interesting. Must be some sort of safety exemption?

    I guess you could have a bullet proof layer seperated by some air and some extra layers of plastic in-between, sounds like it would be hella chunky though.

    Back a couple decades ago in the industry it was kind of a trade off between splattering your skull on the window, or stopping rifle rounds. Seems like improvements might have been made.

  • Or that doesn't try to kill you
  • Wait are the windows Bulletproof? Because I don't think you can do that and still comply with safety regulations.

  • There Is No Going Back
  • If Congress can't rid these agencies of Elon's techno-kids, there is no point to fed workers staying if they can just block stuff from "above" you.

    A 19 year old with the handle "BigBalls" has all of our social security numbers, and a lot more data more important then that. Another has control of federal payment systems and can make the government bounce a check so to speak.

  • Game suggestions for PS5
  • I actually did play Deathloop for a while because it was free when I had premium Playstation subscription.

    Ever play Outer Worlds?

  • If Musk succeeds in "repealing all regulation", what's the best strategy for a normal person? Unethical answers only.
  • Open a paper or animal feed factory in residential area and instead of trying to mitigate the smells to the public, amplify them.

  • Trump says an American sovereign wealth fund could acquire TikTok. Here’s what we know | CNN Business

    Game suggestions for PS5

    I don't usually have much time to play games, so I have missed most games when they were popular.

    I currently have a PS5 and would like some suggestions.

    What I seemed to have liked:

    • Shooters with complex upgrade systems
    • Hack and slash
    • Games with interesting economies

    Games I liked in the past:

    • Champions of Norrath
    • Borderlands
    • Fallout
    • Resident Evil

    I don't like:

    • Games that feel too closed off
    • Games that are unnecessarily difficult
    • Really repetitive grinding
    • Sports games
    • When it doesn't let you save at any time

    If I strapped a weight to a tortoise, could I train it go relatively fast?

    So let's say I had aqcuired a young tortoise, and wanted it to eventually be fast. Could I strap a weight on a rope to its shell and gradually increase the weight a few grams every week or month until I have the fastest tortoise in the world?

    HeiHei is on track to break the Guiness book of records to become the oldest chicken

    In Moana Heihei is shown in the scene near the beginning when Moana is like 2 or 3, and she is 16 when she goes out on her maiden voyage. So Heihei is like a 13-15 year old chicken for that trip. But supposedly Heihei is in Moana 2 which takes place 3-4 years later, so that chicken is now somewhere between 16 - 19.

    If there is a Moana 3, Heihei will likely be very close to being older than "Muffy" the current record holder.

    (It's also possible that Heihei is actually older than Moana. In which case he would be more than 20 years old in Moana 2)

    Did something about mass produced ice cream change like 10 years ago?

    Maybe I am going crazy, but I have noticed a difference about ice cream and its only been Maybe the last 8-10 years was when I first noticed it.

    Ice cream from the supermarket doesn't seem to melt properly, and is also way too soft. This seems most noticeable in novelties now, but also most hard ice cream as well.

    Did they add some component to make it softer or less likely to freezer burn? Am I just going crazy?

    (US, but I assume anywhere else where the same brands are sold have had the same issue.)

    Best first person shooters for PS5?

    I am looking for first person shooter type games (that preferably have an active multi player base) for PS5. My preference is for more type RPG games with a lot of permanent upgrades for the weapon, character, skill, etc. The more focused on upgrade and specialization the better.

    Excluding suggestions COD, Borderlands and Xdefiant.

    Is there a community for gaming questions, specifically for PS5?

    All the communities I could find were related PC or Linux gaming. I am specifically looking for a recommended list of good FPS on PS5

    Thanks for all the suggestions so far.
