Yeah, this is dumb.

I own original hardware and buy 100% of my games but sometimes you just wanna run games that aren't originally crossplatform on your Steamdeck for convenience, or on a PC with resolution upscaling, or for ease of streaming the gameplay, or tons of other legitimate reasons.

Nintendo has some great IP and gameplay, and I guarantee you their sales are not meaningfully hurt by people who pirate/emulate games. Those people were never their customers anyway. If anything the emulation community enabled streamers to boost the popularity of their games. (People like PointCrow did more for the sustained popularity of BOTW than all of Nintendo's marketing efforts combined)

He did make passing reference to the Migswitch which is why Nintendo is big mad.

The first one has those terrible ribcage and inner arm tattoos circa 2013? What a trailblazer.

I am now of the opinion that you should just download books off indexing sites/IRC/ Usenet/torrents and if you like the book and want to support the author, buy a physical copy, or buy 2 and put one in a neighborhood free library. That maximizes the good you are doing and helps your community instead of just generating Bezos bux.

A vanishingly small number of US voters are even going to watch this. There is wildcard baseball and a bunch of other crap happening at the exact same time.

If the rule is "ballot harvesting is OK" you're going to get this kind of behavior. And it rewards whichever of the megaparties builds the most efficient political machine.

I'd personally rather have an actual election day with mandated work leave for the entire day, and rare application of absentee ballots for people with extenuating circumstances.

Thankfully they're likely all airsoft. Obvious tells like painted over barrel tips, garbage quality accessories, and visible 6mm brass barrels inside the larger dummy barrels.

At any rate, teach the models some trigger discipline. They aren't Norm Hooten.

Again besides the overpriced shit like Liquid Death, you never see canned water. Not including flavored sparkling crap either. I'm legit not sure why we don't see more canned plain water. Aluminum cans are inert, store forever, are stackable, and can be recycled. They have literally every advantage over bottles for medium-term storage of water.

This.

Yeah... fuck this shit. This is part of the reason I still drive a nearly 20 year old vehicle. It has features I want, and can't be stolen via fucking API calls. Absolute insanity.

I think Hyundai/Kia group has done unfathomable damage to their brands. Kia, despite being a budget brand, wants to be seen as a legit competitor to Toyota or at least Nissan. Their corner cutting with the immobilizers and the resulting "USB" theft shit was bad enough. Now this exploit.

To answer your question, it could be legal grey area because not all pictures depicting nudity are automatically considered pornographic, if you are speaking in terms of legal precedent regarding obscenity in the US.

To further muddy the issue, photographing other peoples kids is considered creepy by nearly everyone but it isn't expressly illegal unless certain localities have specific statutes against it. There is no reasonable expectation of privacy in public places, so you have the potential situation where people are doing a presumptively legal activity in a public area where photographing that activity could be illegal depending on... intent?

Further, the courts have ruled that getting naked in public in the act of protesting something is part of protected speech. Presumably that applies to people of all ages and sexes as well but I doubt it has ever been tested.

If he thought she was crazy why would he repeat her Facebook shitpost-level source claims about stuff, in a nationally televised debate he basically needed to win?

I am nursing the theory that the dude basically wants to lose.

Wasn't this lady also playing the role of fucktoy for him? Those two going at it doesn't conjure a positive mental image.

K-Mart sucks, Ray.

This. It is already 100% illegal to manufacture new machineguns at the Federal level, which carries a 10 year prison sentence for each count, not to mention the felonious assaults that occurred.

The official saying this is literally just coming up with the most half assed "not our fault" bit of press junket garbage he can. Either that or he is deliberately lying because he doesn't align politically with the state level politicians and wants to try to apply false blame to them.

It is unconstitutional to outlaw Glock handguns, and the full auto bits are already illegal. The actual solution is to 1) find the perps and put them under the fucking jail and 2) sanction the fuck out of Chinese commercial entities that are actively trying to destabilize the US with fentanyl and illegal weapons.

Correct, since like Office 2007, it is literally a built in file format from the Save As menu.

The toys were a wierd texture like rubberized plastic. The sharks skin and face was flexible but the lower half of the figure was normal plastic.

I know a lot of international adoptees and certainly have mixed feelings about it.

I think it is natural, as countries modernize and grow economically, that they begin to see diminishing value in outsourcing orphaned kids. It becomes something of a point of pride or pseudo nationalism.

It is also worth mentioning however that many Asian countries in particular have a cultural tradition emphasising the importance of blood heritage etc. That cuts against the viability of domestic adoption in those countries. It is an uncomfortable fact. Nations like China, Japan, and Korea, have work to do in reforming the cultural acceptance of domestic adoption.

As a general principle it seems that the preferred option on behalf of the child should always be adoption by close relative, followed by an adoptive family in their culture of origin, with international adoption as a last resort. Children deserve loving families and any of the above scenarios is better than an institutional orphange in any country.

EDIT: Obviously none of this is meant to downplay the seriousness of adoption fraud. We can all agree that practice is dispicable.

Mad respect for Luck. I know the discs in his back were messed up but at least he got out while he still has quality of life.

I agree that, while I love football, we don't need any more Aaron Hernandez, Jovan Belcher, or Junior Seau situations.

The pics I saw indicate it was actually an SKS that was bubba'd (crappy polymer stock) so the dude probably bought it out of the back of someone's trunk or at a gunshow.
