They don’t want to direct you to the thing you’re searching for anymore because that means you’re off their site quickly. Instead they want to provide themselves whatever it is you were searching for, so you will stay on their site and generate ad money. They don’t care if their results are bad, because that just means you’ll stick around longer, looking for an answer.

Charmander says “boooooooh!”

If you want to blow the whistle on somebody and wonder if the Guardian is trustworthy I suggest you ask Julian Assange.

I can’t even really disagree with you, but not trying still isn’t an option. It’s our job to at least try to convince our immediate peers.

It’s trivial to design an inheritance tax that doesn’t tax a family’s (first) home and starts above a certain amount (500k, a million, two, make it 10 for all I care) that still allows lower and middle classes to build reasonable wealth. It’s also not that hard to not have a million loopholes for the excessively rich. That only gets difficult when people fall for the usual lies, like “businesses will close down and you will lose your jobs”.

Start penalizing tax havens like Ireland.

Tax based on passport, allow for taxes at their place of residence to take priority (so, you can pay low taxes in Ireland, but if it’s less than our tax, you pay the rest here), tax them a lot if they relinquish their passport. No need to start international beef about this.

Tax property, tax inheritance, tax capital gains no matter if realized or not, tax passive income of all kinds. Tax them progressively and tax the highest brackets high enough that these giant fortunes actually shrink. There is no other way (well… besides revolution) to reduce the spiraling inequality which is at the root of major problems all over the world.

Garbage out is what he aims for.

I don’t like sand.

I use 2 8bitdo ultimate 2c wireless on my steam deck. Had to put the 2.4g dongles on short extension cables because of interference from the dock’s USB ports, after that they work flawlessly, both via 2.4g and via bluetooth.

You first.

What definitely did happen to me is I booted into windows, shut down, on the next startup there was no more grub menu, just instant boot into windows. (Separate physical drives).

I hear it every time: But Muh Windows is better, because you dont have to install Drivers!!!11!11elf

I come from a time when you (in Windows) had to hand pick the correct driver for the individual device from a very long list of options to make anything work, not just graphics. Not just “the nvidia driver”. Think “driver for the Sapphire RTX 12345.6.7-8 pro super max whatchamacallit RGB edition with anime waifu on the backplate, manufactured between May 21st and august 15th, quality controlled by Jeff and packaged by Tony”. If your card was packaged by Bertha instead it wouldn’t work. (Mine was always packaged by Bertha. Fuck Bertha.)

I feel so fucking old when I read complaints like this (yeah, I know, it’s because I am). Is clicking the highest version number behind the word “nvidia” considered complicated nowadays?

Not school, kindergarden. I drew a rocket, in space, with flames shooting out from the engine. The teacher declared fire = violent, I had to stop drawing. I think she also talked to my parents, but I don’t remember more than that.

Also, no 3rd person camera, so you’d only see your character in inventory screen.

That’s why you ride bikes, d’uh!

I’ll make a note to get back to you about this in a few years when they start blocking people from correcting AI authored articles.

Is he related to Lord Buckethead?

“What do you mean you’re working? You’re just sitting in your room all day.”

Yup. And MS had to bribe the city of Munich with moving their German HQ there to make them switch back.

As if any of them had even had half the positive impact on the world as “little Greta Thunberg”. Arrogant fuckfaces.

I would appreciate not being lied to. Call it “I can’t beelieve it’s not Honey”, write the proper list of ingredients on the back and I’m fine with it.
