LGR is great, and this is one of his niches

Other people have said that, to be disruptive, a protest taking place when lawmakers are in their offices is a good idea ... so they will experience the protest first hand

So, unlike Canada's protest, where our stupidest people took their trucks to residential areas to blare their horns 24/7 to deprive innocent civilians of sleep

Included Games:

  • Capcom vs. SNK: Millennium Fight 2000 Pro
  • Capcom vs. SNK 2: Mark of the Millennium 2001
  • Capcom Fighting Evolution
  • Street Fighter Alpha 3 UPPER
  • Power Stone
  • Power Stone 2
  • Project Justice
  • Plasma Sword: Nightmare of Bilstein

These may be more "underdog" games, but the two Power Stone games and Project Justice have sold me on this! (... eventually, when it's discounted, lol)

(Cross-commenting because I worked real hard for this formatting...lmao)

  1. Trump says a lot of BS that he doesn't do
  2. Currently, he didn't do it
  3. Our far right wing will take the opportunity to blame our centre (aka. "far left" to them) Prime Minister for Trump doing something bad. But the more moderate right wing feels betrayed that Trump wasn't just BSing. Or seemed to not be for a period of time....or whatever

It'd take extra effort to remove the Git diff history, and I don't think higher ups would know or the lower downs would care, lol

Most of these pages probably don't change for years. And maybe not explicitly "revert"ing the change, but they'd know where to go back and find the text used for DEI stuff.

Who are you providing it to? Because I don't think FlyingSquid made this website.

To add, GitHub is actually a great place to be making these changes, because with GitHub you retain history of the edits and prior versions. So after Trump changes his mind or loses power, the missing information can be brought back in fairly easily. Nothing is permanently lost.

Your restriction makes it hard for most people to recommend something. You're already asking a niche of a niche (emulator users who back up disc-based games), and then you're looking for a niche within that (Linux users).

Your post title also seemed to be asking about something else -- I thought you were looking for HDD recommendations (since that's a hard disk drive, but you're looking for a disc drive because English is a stupid language sometimes).

Or they're inexperienced and don't know any better.

I think you're missing something here.

GitHub isn't doing anything. It's just a repository where people can track changes that are happening by end users. The end users are using GitHub and are removing DEI stuff from their products at the direction of the US government (AKA. Musk and Trump).

Being angry at Microsoft is like being angry at a grocery store chain because you saw a kid being told by his grandpa to feed stale bread (from that grocery store) to some ducks.

But probably not a difficult fix. Websites can be updated.

 

I know MediaBiasFactCheck is not a be-all-end-all to truth/bias in media, but I find it to be a useful resource.

It makes sense to downvote it in posts that have great discussion -- let the content rise up so people can have discussions with humans, sure.

But sometimes I see it getting downvoted when it's the only comment there. Which does nothing, unless a reader has rules that automatically hide downvoted comments (but a reader would be able to expand the comment anyways...so really no difference).

What's the point of downvoting? My only guess is that there's people who are salty about something it said about some source they like. Yet I don't see anyone providing an alternative to MediaBiasFactCheck...

 
  1. Tap search button on the bottom.

  2. Search like normal for communities with the search term. Results returned like normal.

  3. Clicking the unfilled heart (to subscribe) results in the error presented in the attached screenshot.

  4. The back button (Android) doesn't work. App must be force-closed.

  5. The subscribing action was successful; discovered on reboot.

  6. Repeating the steps, but instead of the unfilled heart, clicking on the community successfully navigates to the community.

  7. This didn't happen before.

  8. I might be one update behind current as of Mar 18

 

Bananas are ridiculously cheap even up here in Canada, and they aren't grown anywhere near here. Yet a banana can grow, be harvested, be shipped, be stocked, and then be purchased by me for less than it'd cost to mail a letter across town. (Well, if I could buy a single banana maybe...or maybe that's not the best comparison, but I think you get my point)

Along the banana's journey, the farmer, the harvester, the shipper, the grocer, the clerk, and the cashier all (presumably) get paid. Yet a single banana is mere cents. If you didn't know any better, you might think a single banana should cost $10!

I'm presuming that this is because of some sort of exploitation somewhere down the line, or possibly loss-leading on the grocery store's side of things.

I'm wondering what other products like bananas are a lot cheaper than they "should" be (e.g., based on how far they have to travel, or how difficult they are to produce, or how much money we're saving "unethically").

I've heard that this applies to coffee and chocolate to varying extents, but I'm not certain.

Anyone know any others?

 

I know money can't buy happiness blahblahblah.

Do they do gift exchanges at all?

Do they ask for anything?

They have enough money that they could get anything made or done for them at a moment's notice. Like having ChatGPT, but for services. Ridiculous things we couldn't imagine.

Anyone have any insight into general trends along those lines?
