TRUMP GUILTY ON ALL 34 COUNTS

Holy crap... Did you guys read the bottom bit about Georgia voters?

"Another man Bob, playing with his bluegrass band outside a café, was more sure. He wanted a positive outcome for Donald Trump and said a conviction would not change his mind. What would?

“If he was convicted of murder, I'd be like that's not a guy I want to go for!” "

Not surprised, tbh, but I still find it ridiculous to read.

Linux gaming is fun

Because it's nowhere near the same. Is it a bad release? Yes. Is it overwatch2 bad? No, not even close.

For the example: even tho it's true that CSGO used to be a paid game, it had been free for 5 years and before that it was 15$, not 40 or however much was ow.

Cs2 comes with a whole new engine which changes a bunch of things, unlike ow2 which is just an upgraded version of the same stuff; same errors, same stuff, basically.

OW2 also made everything in the game more expensive to buy. Etc.

"The consent dialog is required by Google AdMob to show ads, and it is shown when the ad network is initialized.

When the app launches, first it checks for the remove ads purchase, and if it is not present, it will initialize the ads sdk. The ad network is not initialized if the remove ads purchase is detected."

So according to the dev, it does stop the tracking. Or am I misunderstanding it?

Greta Thunberg arrested by Israeli forces after military boards aid flotilla headed for Gaza – Middle East crisis live

Reply in thread

Gaza aid flotilla in the title. Not Greta's flotilla. Her name is there because she's the most well known person there, probably and also because not everyone was arrested.

It says in the article

The Global Sumud Flotilla said most of its vessels were continuing their journey as of early Thursday morning, nearing the coast of the Gaza strip despite the interruptions.

Yep, super accepting, especially of Russian imperialism: "Instead of seeking peace our fascist government in Ukraine funds death squads in Russia to do terrorist attacks making the war worse".

And Chinese killings: "The Tiananmen Square ‘Massacre’: The West’s Most Persuasive, Most Pervasive Lie."

"As for the Uyghur thing, even western media has largely abandoned that point since it was too easy to see that no one was being killed".

Those are just a few heavily upvoted comments that I found within 5 minutes of opening their page.

Anon watches lord of the rings

I know it's a meme and all, but I feel like good jokes need to be rooted in a bit of truth otherwise it's just... Stuff you say for no reason? And this is that. Are we forgetting all the times he was instrumental? Dude was like the most influential character. Nudging so many different people in the right direction. Not to mention the Balrog or how he protected frodo from the eye when he put the ring on at amon hen, the Jedi mind tricks used on saruman, etc

I think the idea is that average people have no clue what color they are. So they'd be forced to take it out to check and thus have to restart their PC. It's a trick!

Altho, maybe I'm misunderstanding something because all the pins of all the electrical cords I've ever seen have been silver?
