It would be kind of hilarious if all of these were actually fully achievable in real life.

Magic is just close up street magic, if you select divine powers, someone offers you a job at the local cathedral. Radar sense, a box from amazon with some radar parts literally shows up on your doorstep.

From this chart, being attractive, smart, or rich are abilities, even gadgets is listed. Logically it doesn't make sense, but following the rules laid out, those are probably up for grabs.

Also, who knows what they mean by magic, maybe you can go look up David Blaine.

Proton is basically magic. I've got 1960 games on steam and I have a chunk that are listed as 'untested' but less than 10 that are listed as incompatible. The games listed as untested also usually end up just working. You may have to mess with proton or winetricks sporadically, but even that is very rare in my experience. It is nearly always an issue in a multiplayer game with anti-cheat when it just doesn't work.

You're probably mostly correct. Some of them do literally count that, but (to my knowledge) most measure voltage as a battery with lower charge usually outputs less and vice versa.

I'm legitimately at the point where I hope they don't pivot and are just forced to sell off their IP. There's just too many reasons to not like them.

Plus side there though... Like most devices marketed towards enterprise, once they hit the used market, the price drops dramatically. You can get a pretty good deal on a used one.

Ask any expert in almost any field of science. If they're good at their jobs, they'll mostly tell you the same thing about their field.

The scariest thing in the world is that you can apply that to nearly everything.

Agreed, but only the part that can withstand the iron ball, so you all have to start putting pineapple skin on your pizzas.

For all of y'all thinking about typing it out, the video is no longer available.

We'll never know.

Libertarianism as a concept has a lot to like on a surface level, I was right there with you. They could do something great with the movement, but looking around now you eventually realize that there are really only 2 sides of mainstream libertarianism, 'Republican, but weed and gay people might be okay sometimes' and 'Completely avoid personal accountability, but still punish others when it suits me'.

Yeah, I think one of the .ml mods got lost.

I think this kind of exemplifies our problem. We're more focused on keeping up partisan divides than we are on celebrating what brings us together. I'm guilty of it too, but it's not supposed to be Left vs. Right, it's a class struggle and we've let them create a situation where all we want to do is fight amongst ourselves.

This guy heard the phrase "If you don't ask, you don't get it" and threw out all human decency and just fucking ran with it.

Weird part is the last announcement I can find from .world admins said those communities were going to be reinstated, but then here we are months later and they still seem busted.

This is the update post for it at least: https://lemmy.world/post/22920690

The reasoning was 'jury nullification when this was suggested in context of murder or other violent crimes' potentially falling under 'advocating for violence'. They decided to clarify the rules a bit and going forward, advocating for violence is still banned, but have been directed that the policy doesn't apply to violence that has already happened.

I would watch the shit out of that, I desperately need you to remember the name.

'Keyboard History Recorder', they got real damn close.

The key isn't in managing whether people like your or not, the key is in not wasting time with followups. If you say you're on the spectrum, you've started a conversation, if you say you're into astrology, people who believe in it move on and people who don't have done this before and realized that this is not a conversation they want to have.

The way the story goes... They didn't explicitly fuck up, some dude just though two snakes looked cooler than one and we've just been running with it for a few decades now. There is a story about how it was originally adopted by military personnel who transported medical supplies (along with messages so... it would kinda made sense) but the justification there does feel super cherry picked. Mostly, the accepted reasoning is that the caduceus is just a better design.

Not a completely standard thing, but a lot of places you wouldn't otherwise want to be known to work for will have something kind of like a parent company with a very nondescript name and a super generalized website that doesn't really tell you anything useful about what the company actually does. When you list it on your resume, you worked for that company. There's a lot of other benefits for the business itself, but it works out for the employees.
