Really. Fortunately this has no relevance to present day. Right, folks?
... right?
I played a lot of Elite Dangerous until I realized there was not much to do besides "do the profitable thing over and over before it gets nerfed." And by the time Squadrons came out, I also ran out of fucks to give.
The only game I really liked in VR was Euro Truck Simulator 2 which wasn't even a VR game.
HTC Vive. Not necessarily this specific tech itself, but VR gaming more broadly. My friend and I were ginning ourselves up for years before it came out. I dropped a lot of money on a gaming rig for it. And when I put the googles on... I fucking hated it. I didn't like standing and gaming. I didn't like being so isolated from everyone else in the house. And the games were glorified tech demos slapped together with unity assets. By the time Half Life Alex came out, I had no more fucks to give.
The porn was fun though.
I really liked the immortal dude. Sam Spruell stole the show. I did have an issue with the Halloween episode though. Like Dot went through all the trouble of changing the street signs, but she couldn't wear a mask on Halloween? Classic smart character does something stupid so the plot can happen.
Not a whole lot.
So, yeah. What's a good Linux distro for stable diffusion and programming?
My second bout with Covid. Wasn't nearly as bad as the first time. All I did was watch Legend of Korra and Fargo season 5. All good now though.
I hear Austin is a great place to live. The only problem is you might want to leave Austin once in a while.
I think he'll think that until the cold wet fish of reality slaps him in the face.
Of course he'd be okay with house arrest. Mara Largo has golf and beautiful cake and no poors.
Jail would be him and the Secret Service in solitary. I can't imagine he'd be okay with even that.

Now do whatnow!? Are we still doing phrasing? That still a thing?
That is my name. Uh... Bisexual Zebra...
Fun Fact: Ernst Röhm and The Brownshirts were super gay. Apparently during The Night of the Long Knives, Röhm and a huge amount of Brownshirts were scooped up during a massive gay orgy. I bet that was a wild ride until it ended in prison.
Damn you wine! This would have never happened if not for you. How can I deal with all these problems you've caused?
With... wine?

Not just any politician. She's trying to enact a theological fascist regime. All is fair in love and war.
You really don't have to body shame MTG for her butch build. That's what her spork toes are for.
Children of The Finders cult, what was it like?
I just finished listening to the latest Behind the Bastards episodes, and was quite surprised to find this was one of the least bastardly subjects in the history of the podcast. In it, Robert Evans mentioned that none of the children have come forward with allegations of sexual abuse (or with any allegations at all).
So, how was it living with Marion Pettie and his utopian experiment?

aipromptguide.com is stuck loading...
Hey all. I realize this is kinda tangential to SD, but it seems aipromtguide is stuck in a loading state on my desktop. The menu loads and but the site data doesn't. This problem started after I reinstalled windows 10. I've tried both Brave and Edge, and the problem persists. Same thing with the VPN either on or off. Incognito mode also doesn't make a difference. On my phone the site works like it always has even when connected to the same wifi router.
Any help would be most appreciated!
Also, bonus points for suggesting a good alternative.
Is A1111 able to boot into a private browser tab?
Just a small nitpick, but I like to use A1111 in a private tab. Bit of a pain to close the tab that starts in the regular one. Is there a setting or command line thingy to have it start up in a private one?
Any anarchist orgs in Kansai, Japan?
This might be a long shot, but I'm looking for some anarchist communities in Kansai (i.e. Osaka, Kyoto, Kobe). There's Food Not Bomb Yokosuka, but I was looking for people more local. Any help would be most appreciated!
Also, if anyone is in the area, give me a reply and we'll get something done.
