They were originally going to call the Nintendo 64 the Ultra 64. That's about as mega as it gets.

Samsung's keyboard has a CTRL key on their Tab line. Not sure if that extends to foldables.

I think it's because he represents how rich powerful people live under a different set of rules and are seemingly able to get away with almost anything. Compound that with the right wing obsession with human trafficking that usually leans into conspiracy theories that both exaggerate the real issue and somehow only blames "leftist elites". They hope the Epstein release will finally prove their wacky theorys correct.

I'm genuinely interested to hear what you mean in regards to AOC and Sanders.

I would also add that you shouldn't be using a basic calculator to solve multi part problems. Second, I haven't seen a division sign used in a formal math class since elementary and possibly junior high. These things are almost always written as fractions which makes the logic easier to follow. The entire point of working in convention is so that results are reproducible. The real problem though is that these are not written to educate anyone. They are deliberately written to confuse so that some social media personality can make money from clicks. If someone really wants to practice math skip the click and head over to the Kahn Academy or something similar.

I see they've weaponized saturated fat and brought "have it your way" to the battlefield. What kind of monsters could deploy this weapon of mass consumption and watch the long agonizing deaths that followed?

Makes sense, they both have the same driving style.

I'm starting to think you're a bot. You most definitely said it was fraud to the user. No, I'm not going to go buy a mechanical blueray player and then try to figure out how to rip that content to be able to use it how I want. If you think anyone is really going to follow your needlessly complicated advice then you're in for a rude awakening. You can keep beating this drum all day long but your attitude (and Sonys) is why piracy is going up. If you want to hang on the "you agreed to it" bull then then that's up to you. More and more people are done caring though and there is nothing you can say to change that. Companies that put out crap terms are getting what they deserve. Your solution is no solution. Buying physical media in 2023 is just not acceptable.

I really don't know why you're going so far out of your way to defend a company that you yourself just said is commiting fraud. I know you probably think you're actually making a case against piracy and not for Sony but in reality you're putting in a lot of work into making Sony's case for them. Your argument is that if a company is able to slip a gotcha past a dumb customer then it's the customer's fault for not noticing. You're acting like there's an alternative when there is not. Giving up on music is not an alternative, all digital content outlets seem to do this and who even owns a means to play physical media anymore? Considering there is no technical reason a company would need to revoke a digital license I'd say morally there's nothing wrong with getting that content back in a way that does no harm to the license provider. That is unless you believe that not buying it twice somehow harms the company you've already paid. I'd further argue that if a company is willing to engage in fraud (your words) then that company is not ethical. A company that behaves unethically should have no expectations of their customers to behave ethically in return. You said people should stop agreeing to ludicrous terms. So long as these companies are issuing terms that you say no one should agree to I'd say piracy is completely justified from a moral standpoint. If they don't like it then they should quit providing dubious terms and instead provide a reasonable option for a legal purchase.

I remember reading these in the 90s and thinking they were funny. It's amazing how humor changes over time. It helps put other cultures humor into context considering these were written at a time when my culture was very different.

The behavior of well off western tourists is usually ignored by the morality police. They keep this double standard to buoy their lucrative tourism industry.

It doesn't matter if you think it's a stupid take or not. Focusing on one person here won't change the fact that enthusiasm for Biden is already low. Telling someone they are stupid because they feel this way certainly won't change their mind and will more likely solidify their position. I think we should be more vocal now about pushing for a different candidate even at this late stage. The polls already show Biden will not get the numbers he did before. The choice between not good and doom just isn't going to motivate the masses this time. The sad truth is that Biden as the nominee is Trumps best chance at a second term.
