Is it weird that I feel less threatened by an old white man who owns a butt plug than one who doesn’t?

Just the one alt?

Looks like a “modern American” restaurant that serves room temperature fries and beer

France is a pretty weird example because most French people do call it France. But technically the country is République français, or the French Republic.

But a better example would be Germany; it’s natively called Deutschland and dozens of languages call it Allemagne or variants of that. Both Germany and Allemagne are historical names we haven’t moved on from, even though the actual country has.

I’m curious how that funding worked. Even with $1,000,000 in traffic revenue, to pay 50 officers from tax revenue of 250 people, surely there was some kind of state or federal funding fraud.

If you have the freezer space, a butcher will happily sell you a whole cow, butchered into a mix of steaks, roasts, and ground beef to your specified quantities!

Applies to cities with fishmongers as well, although it’d usually be restaurants buying whole tuna to serve fresh or in steaks rather than canned.

Proton improved Linux gaming compatibility by several orders of magnitude, on all distros and across nearly all desktop and laptop hardware, including for non-steam games and even non-gaming applications. Steam deck is a pretty small piece of that.

My local school does a drunk driving “skit” every year which involves student actors being pulled out of a junked car donated by a scrapyard using the fire department’s real “jaws of life”.

Every IDE worth trying has Vim mode or a plugin for it, you don’t need to use actual Vim to benefit from it!

Doesn’t a stock Android installation come with several dozen apps? Do you expect to consent to each one individually?

It helps that their business model doesn’t rely primarily on ads or user tracking, and instead relies on subscriptions from other news businesses. This obviously isn’t perfect as they do serve some ads, and it requires those other businesses to exist and be profitable, but it’s a helpful layer of insulation.

I think all the people flooding this thread with piracy advocacy are having a much more emotional reaction than any actual Netflix subscribers.

I got $9.31 from the ISP I had in college! My sister-in-law had $82 from the same ISP. Seems to be a pattern.

We’re agreeing that the individual act is virtuous. You’re not understanding that complaints of virtue signaling are not criticizing the individual act. They’re criticizing the unspoken lack of other acts.

It generally means that we don’t believe they’d be taking that action if there weren’t a camera rolling or trending hashtag to follow. It’s not criticizing the actual action, but the context around the action.
