I enjoy the idea that some shitass mason hated whatever king hired him, built all the stairs as quickly and poorly as possible, and then to save his ass later had to be all “oh hmm yes the stairs? That’s a feature actually” and somehow it winds up catching on

It’s way cuter if he’s kicking his stubby ol legs

Yeah this seems common. I had a friend who grew up with parents who alternated between English, Portuguese, Italian, and French, and he told me he wound up not being able to speak at all until he was over 2 years old. It didn’t affect him badly later on, and he always insisted it was worth it

I’m no expert either but as I understand it, the core service they are most well known for is protection against DDOS attacks. By routing traffic first to Cloudflare before sending it to the intended destination, it can try to check to make sure that whatever it’s routing isn’t coming from a botnet or whatever.

Holy shit

“Ruined” seems like a strong word but the yolk wasn’t supposed to break

While simultaneously opposing any form of gun control so they can fight… something?

Apparently the only protest worth anything is one where you’re shooting at someone

It’s reasonable to be afraid that someone who stole JUST your socks might be stalking you or something

They’re not the one with reading comprehension problems. OP said the air fryer removes that moist air more quickly, which would dry it out faster.

No, that is exactly the over-broad, willy-nilly, tossed-around definition they were talking about. Gaslighting has a much more insidious context than simply making someone question themselves. It means doing it on purpose; intentionally lying to someone and trying to convince them that they’re crazy. Like if I said I was going to the grocery and then when I came back with nothing, I insisted I never said that. Or if i borrowed $50 and when it came time to pay you back, I try to tell you I only borrowed $25. It’s inherently deceptive and cruel.

I’m not saying that piracy, as a general concept, results in zero losses for a company. There are people who would have paid to see a thing, who won’t thanks to piracy. I am saying that there is also a ton of stuff I would never pay to see, but would happily watch if it were free. Having some interest in a thing isn’t the same as being willing to pay for it.

Hell, there’s also stuff that I saw thanks to piracy that I wound up liking so much I went back and paid for a copy. In that sense, companies can make money through piracy. The point is that piracy isn’t taking something like theft is, it’s copying something.

That’s not what I said at all.

This doesn’t get said enough. Piracy is only damaging if I would have paid to get the thing in the first place. If I’m pirating something that I would have avoided entirely had I needed to pay, literally no one is taking any losses.

there was a landmine around the corner. had to be done.

Unless the game is solely bottlenecked by processing stuff

yyyyep. Pretty much any mainline GPU made since 2010 should be able to handle TF2 just fine, and if you’ve got a 1060 or better I seriously doubt your GPU is the problem. The problem is that CPU usage is horribly optimized and it can only really utilize 2 threads (not cores, threads). After that it’s your clock speed that makes a difference.

I played competitively on a 680 and an overclocked i5-4690k@4.2Ghz until I finally upgraded last year, and would only dip below 100FPS playing pubs on Halloween. In 6s I never went below 200.

I mean, back in the day, I already used to get better performance when I would boot in Ubuntu 16 instead of Windows. Not sure that’s the case anymore with modern stock Ubuntu but I imagine Mint would still do better thanks to having less bloat. But I have trouble imagining that better shaders are going to help many people at all.

edit: the vulkan update probably won’t help. the switch to 64 bit has the potential to be HUGE.

This might help very slightly but it isn’t gonna fix it. Runs terrible on windows too

Eddrit is a great frontend replacement, in the same vein as nitter. Take any reddit link and replace the front with eddrit.com

Everywhere I go… I see his face…

Yeah I read the comment about it being a designer’s funeral, this is clearly something they requested

I don’t understand why this is a shitpost. Watched the whole thing waiting for something to happen.

Y’all just now learning that high fashion is unconventional? It’s not my bag either but at the end of the day this is pretty mundane. There’s way weirder stuff at fashion shows
