Ganondorf wasn’t developed that much and was kinda just tyranny, death, and despair from what I remember, but I liked the idea of a villain that won and now it was the hero that had to destroy the current world and make something new.

Link because his storyline in oot and mm is insane.

Also, shout out to the music box guy related to the song of storms. Iconic.

Is Australia allowed to say what they want? We recently made them coup themselves over military bases, I can’t imagine Australian leaders speaking out against our foreign policy / goals. We’d end their career.

It’s a lot of work making stuff up just to have your spiritual alcohol.

Essentially, they needed a list of things their target audience would eat up. Then they included the minimum amount of content required to say they had those things. (Remember, Trump et al are cheap as hell.)

It’s like an anthology saying, “We have Anne Rice! Stephen King! Issac Asimov!” and then it’s just one novella from each. But the customer just wants a book with those names on the front so it’s fine.

Based on the headline I got the impression that the bible was excluding these two amendments. As in, their absence was jarring in the presence of the other amendments.

The truth is that they left out 17 amendments. Because it’s Trump. It’s aimed at people who don’t care about the Constitution. The customers just want the greatest hits, the big names.

Misleading headline aside, here’s what the they actually omitted (aka here’s a truth which doesn’t leave anything out.)

11. Can’t sue a state unless you live there.

12. Structures electing presidents / VPs.

13. Slavery is banned except when it isn’t.

14. Born on US soil == you’re 'Merican, Harry.

15. Suffrage regardless of race.

16. Taxes.

17. Structures electing senators.

18. Prohibition good!

19. Suffrage regardless of sex.

20. Specifies length for Presidential / VP terms.

21. Prohibition bad!

22. The two term limit for Presidents.

23. Gives D.C. electors.

24. You can vote even if you didn’t pay taxes.

25. Formalized the VP succeeding a dead president.

26. Voting age set to 18.

27. That time when Congress took 200 goddamn years to impose a restriction on their salary.

This makes some sense as all foods are salads; sandwiches are untossed salads, tacos are untossed taco salads.

I always eat messy things by leaning over my plate, or carefully taking bites above a bag or whatever. I like being fastidious.

It’s because cigarettes are addicting and so when someone harming themselves says not to do it, it makes sense. They’re suffering from a bad habit / addiction and they’re saying others shouldn’t do it too.

Someone proclaiming the virtues of simple living yet the way they got there being unobtainable for anyone hearing the advice makes no sense.

They’re both hypocrites on the surface but only one survives scrutiny.

Burning CDs. That’s how I know most people didn’t know how to do it, or want to put in the effort. You had to go buy a stack of CDs, hope your computer supported burning, had to make sure players could support the burned disc (depending on if you made a music disc or data disc, if it was rewritable), and spend the time to burn the disc.

Contrast that to ctrl+c ctrl+v.

There’s more people who can ‘duplicate’ digital files than there were people burning CDs.

The amount of people who will duplicate their tapes and CDs would be lower than the amount of people who will duplicate their digital files.

Most of the time when a law sounds silly for banning something when alternatives exist, it’s because people themselves are silly and don’t actually go for the alternatives at the same rate as they would the banned thing. Ie gun accessory bans, ninja star bans.

One thing is a platitudinous phatic expression and the other is legitimate mental health advice.

Like seriously, how do you think “Be there for each other, don’t be afraid to reach out to others, and remember that you’re not alone” is vapid advice?

He says there’s no antisemitism in his close circles, as if that matters, but it’s also a lie because he himself backed a “Jews are trying to replace whites” post on Twitter.

Also, he said he was Jewish by association because he has a lot of Jewish friends. Different brand of ridiculousness from what the headline implies.

I don’t think in terms of optics. I don’t care if it seems degrading or feels degrading. My philosophical and moral axioms are more about results, cause and effect, reality, etc.

Go to a homeless shelter. Or try dealing with children. There’s a time and place for uplifting people, but you also have to pay attention to what’s real. Think about the mental state of the person in that point in time. Learn to prioritize. Forcing a stubborn person to take pills is better than childishly clinging to ideas about personal autonomy.

I guess if you have very little life experience, don’t understand people, and haven’t developed a comprehensive, holistic perspective of humanity, then I could see how this would be a dilemma for someone.

In F1 they’re usually great. More grounded observations / opinions, from either former drivers or at least people who have been around the paddock for decades. They feel more “objective” regarding what they talk about and what they’ll allow themselves to hypothesize about.

I don’t watch much NBA and NFL but the analysts / opinion guys seem goofy and way too loose with opinions. I think they’re all entertainment so the more outlandish their statements the better the engagement.

In chess the players and analysts are all way above my level, but as far as I can tell, they do a good job at breaking down the position and giving you an idea of what super grandmasters are thinking. But this is more commentator and less analyst.

Not taking pills, or taking them improperly, can be fatal. OP doesn’t care because they have a personal belief. They said that they would die on that hill, which is a poor choice of words because other people might literally die for their belief.

Jesus Christ. What a psychopath. You’re talking about dying on a hill when it will be others who die for your belief.

The article draws most of its facts from a tiktok video of a person saying they found X, discovered Y, heard Z from Facebook.

The link that says “businesses team up with bots” links to a tiktok video.

They reinforce the idea that people figured this out because people said it was happening in India, on Facebook.

I wonder if there’s any smoking guns?

This is for the interstitials right? It’s a separate system than the ones on the side?

Edit: I just went off this: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/7403255?hl=en

It sounds like they’re talking about ads in the video.

You can affect the ads by finding normal ads around the internet (served by Google) and telling Google what is and isn’t relevant to you.

However, Google seems to allow advertisers to lie and game their system. Ie PragerU will advertise some “trans is bad” “children’s book” schlock, labeled as “video games.”

When you’re already sucking it up and trying to fairly engage with Google, it’s disheartening to see they don’t even pay attention to what they serve people.

This is just one angle:

It’s because money and resources are only valuable in a literal, clinical way. It’s a math problem that beats us over the head until we start thinking that’s how you measure value. That crap is how we sustain our bodies but not our “spirit.” True value comes from humans transmuting basic matter into feelings, sentiments, memories. All the money in the world couldn’t help Gates buy a good gift for himself. He needs people close to him to transmute objects into meaningful gifts.

I think the richer you are, the more aware you are that “money can’t buy happiness.” When we plebs hear this we can’t help but think about the literal value of things, but if you’re rich it takes on a different connotation. Though I can only assume and extrapolate what it must be like.
