So valuable to the point that if anyone, billionaire or invading nation tries to take over, they literally have self destruct built in

Yes, fascism and accelerationism seem to go hand in hand

Or realistically on Mac. Mac Catalyst is neat but you’re basically building an iPad UI and afaik that’s all that MAUI supports still

Yeah this movie is going to be hot garbage. It’s the classic “oh video game made money so movie will make money” reaction from execs who think that all popular video games are just Minecraft and therefore it’s a film cash cow

No different than any other conservative playbook.

The projection is the only thing consistent

Wouldn’t surprise me if the names are changed. It is the globe and mail after all, not Reuters or the associated press

Lol it was the idiot solo who woke himself and everyone up. The rockerboy just always avoided conflict and made a wildly dramatic exit. But the events in motion had us all crying laughing while my brain scrambled to plot the continuation of the story as the group rolled to destroy my cool narrative

I ran a cyberpunk red campaign as the GM. I set up a storyline where the group was captured by Arasaka using an experimental “flashbang” that would shut down anyone with neural implants (the whole group). The dumbest of my group attempted to escape that. He rolled a nat 20 and I had him literally commit ego death inside his mind to “wake up.” Inside the AV they were all trapped in was my version of the head of arasaka security. Basically an undefeatable t-1000.

He rolled a nat 20 again and woke everyone on the av up with advantage. Then the fucking rockerboy convinced the head of security to save him rolling his own nat 20 while the others worked to override/crash the AV before it could land at arasaka

So I ended up having the rockerboy being wrapped in a big hug by the head of security and jumping out as the av crashed (the tech lowered the speed). So the rockerboy survived with like no damage, the head of arasaka security was fucked up, the team survived, and never made it to the entire narrative I had planned.

10/10 would GM again

Yup. In my opinion if you want to have a child, the only reason should be to raise a better person than you or your spouse could be, and provide them with a better life than you had, enriching your life in the process. If you have a kid for any other reason, it’s out of selfishness

Sure, though colloquially as Merriam Webster points out it’s

a plan or program of action, especially a crafty or secret one

Usually if you don’t mean that it’s secretive you’d just say plan

1. Wikipedia shows IPs instead of usernames for anonymous edits, which the heritage foundation can see. Wikipedia now automatically creates “temporary accounts” for anonymous edits instead of showing the IP
2. Wikipedia blocks most VPN edits because they cull malicious edits by IP, so while possible, it’s difficult to make an edit from a VPN since the IP is likely shared with bad actors
3. See above. In an effort to limit malicious or nonhelpful edits, anonymous edits are shown by IP in the edit history, though this now stops that

If the employee “works” every day of the year they earn -$26000

Same with Facebook, instagram, WhatsApp, etc. but the response usually boils down to “I like to communicate with people on [platform] and since they won’t leave I can’t leave”

Mullvaad is 5 bucks a month for 5 devices. I think the cost/benefit ratio is there

Yeah “blood boy” Thiel and Palantir and the like are the “deep state” the right witch hunted for so long. Pretty sure https://westworld.fandom.com/wiki/Engerraund_Serac is partially based on him with the “I’ll control the future of the human race and swim through the blood to get to the ending I think is best because I’m rich”
