This is what I’ve been saying about US politics for a long time. They’ve got two parties - the far right, and the batshit crazy right.

They didn’t say scientists are the first target, they said scientists are usually the first target. Didn’t say that they were the first target in this case.

I’m assuming he threatened her as she was going into or coming out of the restroom.

Perfect, thank you very much! That means I’m a lot more likely to back it.

Interesting. To be useful for me, they’d have to come with “unlit” versions, since I always add actual dynamic lights (flickering torches, etc) in Foundry VTT. With lamp light drawn on the floor, it would look silly since that won’t be visible from a distance - only when a PC’s light source shines on it, which makes no sense.

Unbelievably enough, it might end up being the rich people in the US who end up saving us all, by deposing Trump because he fucks up their bottom line.

“Lalaland” gets my vote, given that they have completely lost any sense of reality.

They dont need to invade to conquer. They already control the president.

Yep. America is now, whether they understand it or not, a vassal state to Russia just like Belarus.

Zelensky should stop the war

Why is it he who should stop it? Why not Putin?

Like so many have said, if Putin stops fighting, there will be no more war. If Zelenskyj stops fighting, there will be no more Ukraine. One of these is the better option. I’ll give you a hint - it’s not the second one.

Correct. But being a private company without shareholders, as I said, means that there are no shareholders. :-)

So a private company without shareholders will be the first, then.

What you’re saying is true, but we must also remember that construction is always slower than destruction. What this means is that slow, steady improvements are not newsworthy - and thus gets no airtime - compared to destruction which happens over night and is thus newsworthy.

So there is also a lot of slow, steady improvements going on in the world that we never hear about. There’s not enough of it, I don’t think, to offset the big evils of greed, climate change, and fake news. But it is there, and we must not forget it.

Yes, and the same goes for “medium”: one medium, several media. When people say “media” now, they typically mean what used to be referred to as “mass media”, that is, newspapers, TV, etc.

Hello there, fellow Internet old-timer!

Absolutely not. Maybe in that country, but not in the rest of the civilized world.

I think you’re taking this a bit more seriously than it’s intended to be, but yeah, there have been Democrat presidents, but there still isn’t gun control, univseral healthcare (not even for children!), etc.

If the republicans win, it goes further right. If the democrats win, it stays where it is. So the only movement is to the right, never left.

Well, at least in our case, it wasn’t something that we bought. I’m pretty sure it came with our MS-DOS.

That was it, yes.

I figured it out - it was memmaker. It automatically edited autoexec.bat (and possibly also config.sys, I’m not sure).
