More like, if you purchased an electric clipper, and it wirelessly sent a message to the company every time you used it, to let them know how long and where you’re using it.

They already have purchase info, they don’t need usage info. At least not for free with out the consent or knowledge of the customer.

Shit posting is fun.

The president claimed it would be impossible to extend due process rights — as required under the Fifth Amendment — to all of the immigrants he wants to deport.

“We cannot give everyone a trial, because to do so would take, without exaggeration, 200 years,” he wrote. “We would need hundreds of thousands of trials for the hundreds of thousands of Illegals we are sending out of the Country. Such a thing is not possible to do. What a ridiculous situation we are in.” Mango Mussolini

I’m on my usual 2 day ban over some comment I can’t remember, but probably something about how the current admin is a cancerous growth, and should be treated accordingly.

I would add, handheld gaming to the phone use case for OLED.

My dad used to live in the country, and a single cow got into a semi-abandoned old ranch hand house. (We assume some one left the door open. It was in there for a day or so.

That cow absolutely wrecked the place. Walls kicked in, windows smashed (frame and all), floors ripped up, table in 2 pieces, just an absolute disaster. Also, the poop.

So. ONE COW. If unsupervised.

That game taught many valuable life lessons.

Like if a joint smells like paraquat, do you smoke it? (No)

Buy low, sell high.

Carry as many guns as possible.

The importance of small business loans. (And that while you need to pay them off quickly, keeping cash on hand for investment is important.)

I mean, it’s a common trope in story telling to use an outsider protagonist (from the perspective of the people in the story) to allow world building and immersion in the world/culture your story is set within.

So, the “guy with amnesia”, “orphan kid”, “dude in a foreign land”, “time traveler”, “new person in the organization”, “certain types of isekai” tropes all exist to tell a story where the reader/viewer get to learn as they go.

Fairly popular in historical fiction, fantasy, and many other genera.

It makes “Shogun”, “The Last Samurai”, “Marco Polo”, “Big Trouble in Little China”, and others like them more accessible to “Western” aka “white guy” demographics.

I don’t really see an issue with it, when done well.

You see the party that opposes MAGA does not support the 2A. So their scattered supporters that are armed are insufficiently organized.

It’s ok. They still have enough lone Luigi’s if they are willing to make the sacrifice to chop a few heads off the hydra. Just need the kids to take up hobbies like 3D printing and drones, if they won’t get to the gun range enough.

To get my codes you have to play Alone in the Dark 2, and have the original 2 sided playing cards, then translate that into Brittanic runes and find the latitude and longitude of the given city on a cloth map from the original Ulitma.

Not without substantial electoral reform. Which puts us in the “chicken and the egg” scenario of not getting reform with the existing 2 party duopoly, and not breaking that duopoly without reform.

It’s the only game that really does what it does, but it has a learning curve like a brick wall, and a combo of UI & certain mechanics that make it harder than it needs to be. I still keep playing it…

If you yearn for complex space logistics with some first person space combat sprinkled on top, and can tolerate obtuse mechanics and some bugs, it’s quite fun.
