Carroll found an IRL infinite money glitch

Hermione mentioned in the first book that wizards tend to absolutely suck at things that are typically Muggle, like logic, so it follows that they probably suck at math too.

Unfortunately if Matt Gaetz, who actually trafficked and had sex with a minor, is anything to go by, this will hardly shift the needle.

That is literally how 'sigma' males came to be.

Good on the host for insisting on getting the guy's face fully on camera. That's some quick thinking.

This ain't incompetence, this is a power trip. She also called CPS on a mother for questioning her special education needs program

As House Speaker, it is not your job to speak on behalf of God.

Perhaps leave that to the popes.

India has already had several MeToo-like movements (comparable in size and scope). Some people are even starting to turn to violence out of sheer desperation.

The problem there isn't what goes on behind closed doors. They don't even need to close the doors. They can do their shit in public and the only thing that will get anything done is nationwide protests, much like US cop killings against BMEs.

I fear you are right and that a revolution will be what finally tips the scales.

Imagine your computer is a big block of flats and your applications are all people who live in the building.

Mail sent to the building address alone isn't going to reach the intended recipient, because the postman doesn't know what flat to post it to. So they need additional information such as 'Flat 2C'

That's the basic concept of ports. It's basically additional addressing information to allow your computer to direct internet traffic to the correct applications.

When an application is actively listening on a port, it means that they are keeping an eye out for messages addressed to them, as designated by the port number. While an application is sending or receiving messages using a given port number, that port number is considered 'open'.

Now, all sorts of applications do all sorts of things. Some are for the public to use and there are some that are useful within trusted circles, but can be abused by malicious people if anyone in the world can send messages to it. Thus, we have a firewall, which acts as a gatekeeper. A firewall can 'block' a port, denying access to a given group of people, or 'unblock' it, allowing access.

VPNs are a totally different thing. They are literally middlemen for your internet traffic. Instead of directly posting a message to somewhere and receiving a direct reply back, imagine you flew out to Italy to use a post box there and receive replies from there.

Absolutely right. I don't care what you do in private but the moment you start depriving others of life and liberty for those same actions, well...I won't weep when the axe falls on that person

Lol nope! Republic of Ireland has been a heavily-Catholic country since its inception. It's lightened in recent years and some surprises do slip through but that ain't one of them.

All billionaires are cunts. All Nazis are cunts. Not all billionaires are Nazis.

Jesus. This sounds like literally every parody version of George W Bush, trying to get a laugh out of how massively exaggerated they made his stupidity.

The internet. It's a fucked up place. Nothing like what the big players on the internet would have you believe.

So long as there exists a way for people to not get prosecuted, these things will exist.

No, things aren't rosy. What happened under trump was a corporate apologist shitshow though.

Then isn't the correct solution to sue Nvidia?

It's a legal issue with a legal solution.

Haha oh nooo. The official lore can be surprisingly fucking dark. Even in the games, the reason Jubilife exists is because wild Pokémon smoked an entire village. Burnt the fucking thing to the ground and gave the Galaxy Clan's commander PTSD.

Also in the beginning of Arceus, your rival has only just recovered from hospitalisation after they took a thunderbolt from a Shinx.

Then there are literal wars that break out. And some of the Pokédex entries. And the mangas go fucking dark too at times.

The losing your lunch money is just a game mechanic.

The main use case of this is in porting. So if someone wanted to make a native port of their game, this library would make it potentially much easier.

Not to mention, they kicked out Russia for the war in Ukraine

The original Spanish Flu would absolutely fuck us up.

The reason it became mild has nothing to do with us building immunity but because a virus killing its host is bad for business (or strictly speaking, reproduction). A lack of viable hosts puts pressure on the virus's gene pool and in the end, the variant that is most successful at spreading and reproducing will win out.

That means not killing your host and only doing mild, repairable damage to other potential hosts so that humans don't take an infection so seriously.

We saw this exact pattern with COVID, with successive iterations being less deadly than the last.
