Why do you think masc V is a poor choice? Do you just prefer Cherami’s performance?

That’s right, she was. He has a knack of using that face recognition to ban people who criticize him too

Because James Dolan is a paranoid power tripping dickhead. He had a parent who had taken their children to see the Rockettes thrown out because she worked for a law firm that was in litigation with MSG. She wasn’t even on the case but she got booted from the show regardless. The guy is a total chode, he makes some terrible music, if you want to laugh at him some of his stuff is on YouTube. He has a butt rock song about being friends with Harvey Weinstein and not knowing he was a monster.

Any academic peddling lost cause bullshit is a complete joke. Just curious, were they from the south?

PHARMACIST: DISPENSE INTACT. THIS DRUG MUST NOT BE REPACKAGED. DO NOT DISPENSE UNLESS PATIENT HAS BEEN COUNSELED ON THE RISK OF BIRTH DEFECTS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS DRUG, AND A SIGNED INFORMED CONSENT FORM HAS BEEN PRESENTED.

While I was taught that in elementary school, I was also taught about the 3/5ths compromise as early as middle school. By the time high school rolled around I was being taught about reconstruction and the corrupt bargain of 1877. I guess I’m lucky I got a good education in the north because I am aware that’s not necessarily the standard nationally.

That was because it was so costly to get even a single kg into orbit. The commercial satellite industry is a quarter of a trillion dollars and growing in part because the cost to get stuff in orbit is going down.

While I detest Elon, the company definitely has some value. They’re still the global launch leader at this time. That said, their valuation based on promises of AI and asteroid mining is complete nonsense.

It’s rutting season for Bison. They get very territorial in the summer

 
 

As some of you may be aware, over the past few weeks there have been an increasing number of what I suspect are bots which will share one or even a few posts, all relevant to the communities they are shared in, at which point the account self-deletes. I’m torn as the stories are relevant, but they give me the impression of a narrative attack. I’ve seen only one of these accounts actually comment before deletion, otherwise they post and immediately nuke the account.

I have tagged mods and admins but have not heard any recognition on the problem. It’s also notable that by my impression this issue is getting worse. I noticed yesterday that communities I subscribe to which previously have not had this problem are now starting to receive these kinds of posts.

I want the fediverse to be a place to communicate with real people in good faith; this manner of posting runs contrary to that. So that begs the questions, is this actually a problem, and if so, what can be done about it?

 

In my search for the ultimate retro gaming machine I’ve been surprised by the limited options when it comes to controllers for iOS and android. While there are plenty of controllers that you can clip your phone onto in landscape orientation, I haven’t seen any that are designed to play in portrait mode. I see several benefits to a clip on controller for portrait mode. Pinball games, Tetris, and DS games all play best in portrait mode. Plus, a portrait mode controller would be close to the original gameboy in terms of form-factor.

Anyone else looking for something like this? Have I missed a product that’s out there? Maybe once I get a 3D printer I can cannibalize a Bluetooth controller and experiment.
