When I first saw this, I thought the implication was that they used real archers and the actors protected themselves by wearing these devices that would somehow block and capture the arrows, which would also miraculously never miss

Did they stop using these? Looks just as good as CGI… Actor is probably a lot more aware of it…

It’s horrifying to me that any of these fucking games are running outside userspace. Is anti cheat the only reason why that is necessary? Why is it necessary for anti cheat?

Swing and a miss

You don’t own your Kindle books because you bought them from Amazon

I don’t own mine because I pirated them

We are not the same

edit: I actually try to circle back around and buy physical copies of any book I really enjoy. But I’m much better about paying for video games, tabletop games, and even journalism than I am fiction… I think my bezos resentment gets in the way a bit there.

Go to bed, Jordan Peterson

Okay, but “never have I ever understood why X” is just turning “never have I ever” into a platform for random opinions like what happened to the Kermit sipping tea meme.

Whoah, managing that in Florida is no joke! At least you have access to seafood.

I like seeing a group evolve and form good friendships. I also like sci fi and weirdness.

You better get on that Scavengers Reign train. There’s only one season right now, but it rules, especially from a “weirdness” perspective, and there’s not going to be more unless it gets some more attention.

No doubt! But as others are pointing out in this thread, words often migrate from culture to culture and I don’t think using “thicc” is any more than using “cool” is (which also used to be edgy, AAVE-sourced slang).

“OH LAWD” in all caps hits different to me. It sounds like caricature of an accent, not just earnest adoption of a fun word.

I don’t think “thicc” is AAVE. That is pretty much an Internet-ism as the original post says. “OH LAWD” though, yeah, is cringe.

I’ve gone back and forth between a common bashrc file in my Dropbox folder that is symlinked to ~/.bashrc on my devices, and one that is imported from a regular bashrc instead, and recently it ended up in a state where it accidentally tried to do both, resulting in an endless loop. I discovered this on my Pop!_OS PC, which reacted to this situation by crashing on login lol. What??

Ocaml stands for “Objective Categorical Abstract Machine Language”, so it’s pronounced like “Camel” but not named after it, unfortunately

Thanks!

I mean, what is the background in the second image from?

Wait what am I looking at

Women are so missed and loved the fact they were down to you and I think they are you and big boy and I can get them out from here in a few days or two weeks until they can start by the way back in a bit I think it will autocomplete me know if I need it or anything or not to unilaterally it is also not the only one of them but it doesn’t have a great time for them but they have a great job and I think they’re not to be the best pizza ever had a webapp in their power orientation whatever it was a closed practice all day but they are becoming more of the best people who have a lot to go through some things

If you have access to Disney+ or piracy, watching a couple of (they’re eight minutes long) episodes of the show Bluey would probably charm your butt off and also give you a lot to go on for fun ways to engage with kids.

It’s all about being real and in the moment, and giving them ways to experience novelty. A parenting book my partner was reading reminded her that all you need to do to engage a (toddler, but the point stands) child’s interest is to turn the laundry basket upside down. Everything that’s dull to you is new to them (and everything that’s exciting to you, they’re often not ready for yet).

Don’t touch my garbage! 😾

I read a lot of Batman and I don’t know what you’re referring to. I’m sure it’s established canon, but I feel like a lot of people write Batman that don’t consider “a curse on Gotham City” to be part of the mythology that they’re contributing to.
