Plus Biden attempted to block any more aid for Israel and the Republicans rammed it through anyway.

It's currently on a free weekend promotion on steam. You can play it either way.

I'm gonna need more than two boxes...

Trump has 91 felony allegations across 4 different state and federal cases against him right now. Many of which are directly related to him trying to overthrow our democracy.

Burn him to the ground; I don't care about his legacy as a president. He was a shitty one anyway and was never actually elected by popular vote.

I would be appalled if he was pardoned, and I'm already rather annoyed at the current state of the prosecution taking this long.

Retracted. I was sleepy and apparently pissy this morning. I deserve my downvotes.

That's.... Exactly what I was talking about. Master of the content.

I am fully aware that the windows search hides things that you are actually searching for. Particularly if they are system preference apps, and it always goes to bing first regardless.

Also, I bailed as well. I use windows for work and school, otherwise I'm on linux.

They want you to use the search instead of a functional interface. That's why they keep making the interface worse.

It lets them spy on you through bing, allows them to fill the results with ads, and lets them hide system applications unless you know exactly how to find them.

It's also them gearing up towards funneling the entire UX through copilot for largely the same reasons.

The entire goal is to flip the operating system from the slave of the user to the master of the content.

I mean... Yes? I hate this idea and Roku will lose me as a customer over this, but yes they are specifically targeting screensavers. Idle time is ad time to these people.

And religion + racism + fear of the unknown + social echo chambers can all be exploited. Remember that MTG floated a few years ago that space lasers caused California forest fires. Never mind the power requirements and ridiculousness that would require.

I think the woman is dangerous as hell, but I don't think she's stupid. I think she uses dumb ideas to mobilize an ignorant base.

No, you don't. You have to pay a penalty if you pull out earnings early. You can take the money you put in out at any time without penalty.

You are thinking of a traditional IRA, not a Roth IRA.

You can pull money out of your Roth IRA at literally any point. You already paid the taxes on it.

You cannot pull more out than you put in though. If you have and properly use a Roth IRA throughout your whole life, you can live for many many years without ever breaching that cap if you wanted to retire a little earlier. You're just reducing your potential total.

The whole existence of an abrahamic God is self defeating at its basic premise.

If God is all knowing, all good, and all powerful, then he either designed all of this, including Satan, as some fucked up experiment, or he is not perfect and he messed up somewhere.

There are no other options.
