Donald's admin to order the 'cellar special' would be nothing surprising.
if living in russia taught me anything, people in distress reduce themselves (and got reduced) to the most basic questions, like who is to blame, and populists have them like a piece of cake.
Most vatniks, not unlike MAGAs, don't have answers to many questions, they want to be left alone to manage the hole they happened to be born into, and the promise of a candidate or ideology that does just that or even paints their quest as a herioic one, or a sacred sacrifice, would win again and again until there is someone to work with that and educate them.
They are used to live in shit and depend on themselves, don't know anything better and become pretty jealous if others get that. Others having it worse, especially their 'enemies', kinda makes their own living more bearable. Their struggle is a downpainment for a mission of punishing the unworthy ones.
When a person is downscaled to that childish level of consciousness it's impossible to reach them with rhetorics that don't directly benefit them.
As long as they continue to be like that and their thoughts are unchallenged, they'd always vote maga.

I consider that massive article with interviews a good supplement to playing it now: https://www.polygon.com/2019/3/27/18281082/elder-scrolls-morrowind-oral-history-bethesda
And I think Todd has a bit of PTSD from the times he can't streamline production like they do now, completely changing the focus.

Is that taken from his new piss tape? They seem like they'd fight for drops of daddy's urine.

Even before reading the article I started to hear the sounds of UT99 gameplay and have chills.

I feel like they worded it poorly or misinterpret it from the source. Post-soviet edu has all three at 5th grade (age 10-12), the beginning of the middle school, because only then you can start and learn respective fields for remaining 5-7 years. If you place them in the last year of school you don't have a room for that at all.
I suppose it should've meant 'in their whole 10-year program', not the tenth grade.

I remember there was a suspicion about the nature of these because Tesla have chosen not to be certified by third parties for safety and only posted these in-house crash videos instead, no other data has been shared. It rose some eyebrows because Elon could has dodged the regulations just out of spite and to cut corners in time, money needed for that, but at the same time we don't know if their own tests are legit and how many of them have been done - all we see is these posts by his SMM team. This conversation about CT safety consists of only one party, Tesla, that has obvious economical interests, so you either trust them or not.
It looks like they purposedly made it that way.
Snufkin undoing the cops' expansionism on natives' land is rad. Game is short, has it's downsides as per forum threads about difficult run sequence and being kinda lost on the remote island, but it's good for everyone who doesn't even know about moomins, ages 5-99. It's highlight are watercolor-stylized graphics making the picture look very pretty and good writing, albeit about simple things.
Russian with emperial emblem, but lower red is first to burn off to white. Accidentially, the white-blue-white is a flag some parties pushed as an anti-war flag, but it was never supported by that emblem, so the first explanation is more realistic.
Let's abstain from criticizing them and hope it'd snowball.
Some russian 'fuck off' phrases to use with republicans
That link is translate.google pronunciations for these russian phrases on highly political\4chan lingo:
- Go fuck yourself;
- Suck my dick and balls;
- Fucked up shit;
- I wish you death;
- Fascist cumfucker.
Let's see if some republicans recognize these.

Is Uzumaki cursed?
That's not just second episode and it's dorky animation, the first one is dogshit too. I feel like Uzumaki just can't get a proper adaptation. And it's probably a curse we won't have a chance to lift.

Where to put a smartphone if you move fast and need it always at hand?
As I always move fast I have a problem with feeling like I loosely strapped a brick onto myself when I put my phone in my pockets, including waist and knee ones. It chaotically moves at each step and I'm tired of that. To the point I take it in my hand when I'm in a real hurry.
I guess, Lemmy has a lot of people who either run or do outdoors activities and labor.
What are the best positions on the body to make it move less when you walk or run? Are there some great smartphone holders, straps that you can recommend? Can I use it with casual clothes without it looking weird?
I suppose the ones you place on the belt are obvious to suggest first, but I haven't seen them since the death of small button phones and current smartphones are kinda big for that to work. And no, putting it into a bag, a suitcase or a backpack wouldn't work for me for I prefer not to be dependent on carrying them on me.

About the russian Memo
[email protected] posted it around a lot, and it sounds legit due to it being on the .gov site.
I wanted to dig into the original version since I'm a native and have some edge in using it over my homies. Even some rewards at that, kek.
Welp. Mostly it's an easily translateable basic vocab including media-specific words. I suspect it's an american or a russian-american person writing in Russian and sometimes\always using an automatic translator. And they are stupid at that, as they don't know how complex punctuation works or don't read what they post. The punctuation is kinda confusing, sometimes hinting that it's a copy paste from a translator.
- отличается от таковой - is a rare turn of words that many russians fail at, just like americans fail at they're. I don't know many persons who can correctly put it into a sentence. That's probably a translated text since they can't handle the right placement of commas.
- ставленником - is a weird archaic word that's sometimes used by nerds of polisci or other humane arts weirdos, it isn't used anywhere else. That's maybe a clue to who wrote it.
- нового глобалистского социализма - sounds weird, like a direct translation from English.
- Next, there is a division between the elephant and the donkey, both lowercase, without any punctuation to tell them they are referencing parties, not animals. It's fucking stupid. And not stupid as a result from an AI prompt that can produce a correct phrase, but from a literal translation of a literal translation that lost any indication of what it refers to.
That's just the first picture. All of that sounds weird to my ear, and my assumption, clouded by the US gov's decision to put it onto display, is that it can be legit, but it is written by a person with a political\media background, creating a draft in English, that they lazily translated into Russian. That may be on RT employes, especially international ones.
There are a handful of russian-speaking users on fediverse who can tell I'm wrong.
Ah, yeah, and it really mentions 'manga' although it doesn't make any sense.
Weird links between the Tower of Babyl myth and the Twin Towers
- Babylon is in modern Iraq, one of the countries invaded by the US in the aftermath of 9\11
- Both claimed to be the highest towers in the world
- Both are in populated influential trade centers
- The Babylon myth with different languages VS the War on Terror, affecting policies worldwide, growing tensions and fear in the post-USSR world, now - post 9\11 world
- The pronounced reasoning behind the 9\11, told as a fatwa by Osama, starts as follows: All these American crimes and sins are a clear proclamation of war against God, his Messenger, and the Muslims. Not that far from what caused the abrahamic god to prank Babylon.
This connection is loose, lacks context and mixes very different things together, but I haven't got a pleasure to shower any longer than that to think things out.
How BS is it?
What would you make a core of a Borderlands movie for it not to suck as the recent one?
Making it 17+, changing cast and visuals don't count. Let's say it's live action with heavy CGI. What would be here for the main attraction, the plot, the cast of characters?
What places are best for a first tatto in your opinion?
Durability-wise? Pain-wise? Covering or showing-wise? Where did you inked your first one?
Trolley problem Pt. 2: A cancer hospital, limited funds, patients of various ages and conditions. Should there be a universal answer?
I'd assume we want everyone to survive and carry on with their lives equally. Yet, if we can't, there's a choice of distributing our doctors' time and equipments towards some of patients rather than others.
Policies deciding that choice in general, if implemented, naturally smell like death. That'd organically lead to some marks for a cut-off, the obvious one is the age - like excluding 70+ patients from active treatment and supporting them as they are instead, while prefering younger folks, because they have more projected lifespan ahead of them (AND MORE VALUE TO THE REGIIIIME!). Then, there is a game of chances for recovery. Then there are biases against lung, stomack or skin cancer patients who neglected their bodies themselves etc etc etc. And we don't even touch the problem of these policies being sexist, racist or otherwise based on unscientific grounds.
But if not over-generalized policies that can mark some categories as not-worthy patients, we'd then assume the power to decide is in the hands of individual doctors who do have the problems in the last paragraph, but with individual power to decide as well as individual responsibility for that (but they can ask patients themselves if they want it?).
My question is: should we even seek a universal answer to that dillema? What is the beacon to navigate us here, balancing general policies and individual responsibilities? How'd we personally judge a party who'd make such decision (+ if we are their patient and we don't want to die)?
I've tried my best not to suggest any answer and not to instigate any sort of an infight, but if it's not ok, please delete it.

Make back arrow exit embedded browser
Today I've visited TechCrunch from a posted link
https://techcrunch.com/2024/07/24/crowdstrike-offers-a-10-apology-gift-card-to-say-sorry-for-outage/
and after some reading couldn't exit it at all tapping both my back key and the back arrow on the top.
Due to how inconvenient the arrow on top is, I suggest to make it the exit button that closes the browser and returns user to Lemmy at once, while usual back buttons keep acting like they are now.
Local LAN\co-op best moments
What are your stories? I'm sad I haven't had such parties for a long time, and a lack of PC games with co-op doesn't help it too. But I still treasure these times me and my friends wasted whole nights playing high on cola and doritos, and I wonder if me, now an adult, can reproduce a bit of that with my current non-playing friends, their spouses, children, etc. Just a general nostalgia and 'what-to-play-now' thread.

I unintentionally deleted the original post, sorry.
